[QUOTE="sunmukh, post: 137228, member: 11050"] Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Gurfateh ji I am surprised I have been asked a question along this line a number of times now, in a short time on this forum. There seems to be an inherent lack of trust and/or a degree of paranoia. Please may I sincerely state, hopefully for the last time: a) I believe in One God - Ek On Kaar b) I turn to one Guru alone, when in need of spiritual guidance. That Guru ji is Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji c) I do not keep 4 of 5ks. I wear only a kara, (of 5 ks). At the moment I keep kesh, but I do not know what I will do next month with the kesh, or the month after. At present I am okay with it. d) I don't have any association with any sect or dera whatsover, and never have. On one single morning occasion earlier last year I attended a RSSB (Radha Swami)session with some family members who shifted to it about 15 years ago. I wasn't interested in it any further. I am still a member a Sikh gurdwara in Leicester UK but rarely attend now. In the past, when at school I went into churches, but that was part of school functions. I am happy to take part in Christmas events. I go on Nagar Kirtans. I haven't any more to declare, or any skeletons in the cupboard. e) I do not feel there is any tolerant basis of "gurmat", a formula engineered by modern day Sikhs, which simply divides an otherwise united sikh community. It is being used to spilt sikhs from Sikhs. It is backed as if a sikh is not for rehat or hukamnamas issued by managers, then the sikh is not Sikh, and is against Sikhs. That is simply not the case. The formula is opinion. I cannot for one moment think any single Sikh Guru would warrant disengagement of any sikhs (which I am) seeking their wisdom and shelter from Sikhs (which I am not) on the basis of a rehat. The whole point of seeing all as part of One is to remove duality and to remove judgemental attitudes. I am interested in the basis of some not so pragmatic aspects of Sikhi, along with the main two points mentioned to you in the "agenda" and maybe my delving into what im my opinion are more impractical aspects of Sikhi is troubling you. I didn't think there was anything to comment upon in the post you referred to. You asked me to give you an honest statement of my "agenda" and I gave you that. However I am now interested to read what may be raising your concern. Even if I was a complete non-sikh I see no harm in communicating openly with you or anybody else. Kind Regards :-) Himmat Sat Sri Akal [/QUOTE]
