[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 204491, member: 138"] Ishna ji, Guru Fateh. It is a very interesting book. Thanks for sharing it with us. My 2 cent worth. Maya in Sikhi is anything that shoves us away from our Gurmat fulcrum and leads us towards me-ism. [INDENT] Illusion is not the right term for Maya in my opinion. As I live in Vegas, it is more related to trickery by a magician, a third person, whereas Maya is a personal perception of our moral, spiritual and temporal boundaries, and all these are subjective to the individual. Maya in Sikhi is anything that shoves us off from our Gurmat fulcrum and leads us towards me-ism. The physical world is still being discovered with telescopes and other gadgets. Our visionary Gurus were right when they said that. We are still discovering a lot and a lot more is left to be discovered. Science and Sikhi are in sync in this. Coming to Atma and Paramatma, they are both names of Energy. Atma is the mini me of Paramatma and the mini me merges with its big daddy- Ik Ong Kaar. Hmmm, as a Las Vegan, I know what it means. Allow me to add something here. When the Hotel Venetian was about to be open, many Bible thumpers from south came to Vegas to protest about it for some reason. After all, Vegas is nothing but Papier-mâché glitter.I have no idea why they chose that hotel in particular. Anyway, they even won the court case to protest on the hotel's pavement rather than away. They belonged to the Baptist Churches of the south. They all stayed in Riviera which is not there anymore. One of the journalists from the Review Journal got hold of their hotel bills and posted them on the paper's site. The reason of his posting was to show the amount of porn movies they had rented in their hotel rooms after the daily toil of protests and sending others to hell. Yes, sensual pleasures laced with debauchery have been common all over the world especially in India, the land of kamasutra, sensually carved temples, the maharajas with their multiple wives and concubines. The Mughal era made things even worse or better depending on one's point of view. In other words, debauchery multiplied many folds then. The other thing which was very common in Hinduism was that the family used to give one of their daughters to the Pundit of the temple for keeps or rather she was demanded. These young girls were called Devdasis which literally means 'Servants of God' but were meant to please the Pundits who claim to have a red phone between themselves and their deity. On the other side, sensuality is the basic ingredient of procreation. So for a Sikh it is important to learn how to dance on egg shells without crushing them. Maya can not purchase spiritual satisfaction? Again this is very subjective. Thanks to Maharaja Ranjit Singh who donated gold to gold leaf Harmander Sahib and also gave the same for Hindu temples. Sadly, this started the white elephantisation of our Gurdwaras with marble floors, golden domes etc. etc. Millions of dollars are spent to make these big ornate Gurdwaras and for their upkeep all around the world which is a waste in my opinion but come to think of it, it is a spiritual satisfaction for the honchos of these white elephants. This money can be spent to better use. So, although Maya can not buy 'Spiritual Satisfaction', it sure can give it a face lift. [/INDENT] This is same as number one.
