[QUOTE="Taranjeet singh, post: 157678, member: 10049"] I had started this thread so that one may form a view about sikhi and re visit the thread in case of doubt. The first post was taken from 'wikipedia' , a neutral source for reporting matters and things stated therein. It is open for editing by anyone. If one feels strongly that sikhi is not about this and the some additions are required one is free to edit the page and spread the message. I refrain from doing so as it makes sense to let the traditional way of expressions not be disturbed. There would many posts , I believe, that would be available on SPN that would be speak sikhi in same format i.e three pillars of sikhi. Dear Harry ji..kindly refer to the speech of Mr. Tejwant ji that was posted on this very forum about few days ago. He also talks of three tenets instead of three pillars. It is in his first minute of speech. I think you are right in saying this that sikhi cannot be condensed in the three points only and would require further elaboration. I tend to agree with you here and feel almost the same. Sikhism may be very vast and teachings of Gurus cannot be summed up in few points. For me , personally speaking, entire Guru Granth sahib ji is a 'Naam guide. Nitnem is to be performed with full understanding of Bani. It should not be reading only that I used to do few years back. Regarding points at 1 and 2 , it is , I presume, your view point and each one of us has right to have . One should , however, refer to Rehat and to the bani before further indulgence. [COLOR=Blue]In case something gives rise to argument , it is always preferable to avoid the same.[/COLOR]I appreciate the eloquence you are blessed with.
