[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 86416, member: 35"] Sorry, but allow me to add. This is a perfect example of the kind of confusion that is raised up. From the Panthic Weekly article. The article quotes and interprets as follows. [COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]Gurbani says: [I]ਪਰ ਤ੍ਰਿਅ ਰੂਪੁ ਨ ਪੇਖੈ ਨੇਤ੍ਰ ॥ “The eyes should not gaze upon the beauty of another women.” (Ang 274)[/I] The Panthic Weekly interprets the verse to mean: [I]Friendship with the opposite sex is not prohibited. However, to go beyond the lines of innocent friendship would be contrary to Gurmat.[/I] This is not a prohibition against dating. It is a prohibition against lustful thoughts. If you follow the Panthic Weekly line of argument to its ultimate conclusion the only acceptable way to meet a spouse would be an arranged marriage in which both partners do not see each other until the day of the wedding. This does go on, but it is a cultural pattern and has nothing to do with Gurmat. Men and women would be living segregated lives like the ancient Spartans. Blindfolds would be a hot stock. Parents would advertise how unattractive their daughters were in the Matrimonials to get a jump start on the betrothal. Come on!!!!!! Another quote from the article in Panthic Weekly: [I]ਦੇਖਿ ਪਰਾਈਆਂ ਚੰਗੀਆਂ ਮਾਵਾਂ ਭੈਣਾਂ ਧੀਆਂ ਜਾਣੈ ॥ "Men should look at the opposite gender as mothers, sisters and daughters, (women should look at the opposite gender as fathers, brothers and sons)." (Bhâî Gurdâs: Vâr 29/ Paurî 11)[/I] Here is what Panthic Weekly says this vaar means. [I]There is no if or but about dating or seeing the opposite gender in any other light other than one’s own sister or brother. Intimate relationships at any level are harmful – whether it is physical intimacy or emotional one.[/I] [/FONT][/COLOR] However, a deeper look at the life, history and work of Bhai Gurdas leads one to an entirely different conclusion. Sikhism, in big part because of Bhai Gurdas, is probably one of the few nonsexist faiths. The line is saying something else. It is reinforcing the intrinsic value of women as people and raising them above the status of cattle, property and sex objects that was the rule of the day. And sadly continues in some places even today. So my vote is to read Panthic Weekly with a block of salt. :) The writers are human just like you and me. They do not have a lock on Gurmat and often their writing is heavily motivated by political strategy. [/QUOTE]
