[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 146923, member: 14641"] As a seeker of the ultimate truth, you get quite used to little droplets of knowledge in the most unusual places, and from the most abstract of statements. I have to confess to be being surprised at SPNadminji's story about his Granthiji's wife. It was still on my mind as I walked the dogs that evening, surely, if you were in the light, or at least on the right path, both of which statements apply to Granthiji's wife, why would you want to have a large gold ring on each finger. I have never understood the attraction of jewelry myself, I wear none, and my wife wears very little, however that is our choice, jewelry has always been, for me, a rather pointless pursuit. However we are all different, and by the time I had got home, I still could not figure out to what end anyone would go as far as 10 large gold rings. I mentioned it to my wife over dinner, 'why do you think a gursikh lady should not wear gold rings, as many as she wants', she asked.I replied 'why would she want to, surely she has found the creator, what benefit could it have', my dear wife then said 'maybe she likes rings.., being a gursikh surely doesn't mean you have to walk around in rags to show everyone how holy you are, maybe she likes rings, and those ten large rings on her hands are there to show everyone that gursikhs should still live and enjoy life but under the laws of sikhi, as we are all individuals' The Granthiji's wife, I then thought must be highly intelligent to draw attention to a facet of sikhism that is extremely valid. We are not meant to be ascetics , we are meant to enjoy family life, and pretty things, and find our happiness not only within the creator, but our own individual foibles, as long as they do not undermine the teachings of sikhi. I have a passion for Range Rovers, upto 1994, the shape, bearing, and noise of a 4.2 V8 is beautiful, I have no wish to see myself as better than the next man, and although I have sold my LSE, and drive my fathers old mondeo, it always worried me a bit that I was being showy, (although as an old auntie pointed out once, well its hardly new is it), but the point is I suppose, if your heart is pure, and your intentions are pure, then I suppose this lady stands like a beacon to other people, eat well but modestly, dress nicely, enjoy yourselves and gods creation, live within the boundries of sikhi and you can still be yourselves, individuals, of course i could have got all this wrong, in which case I am not discussing these things with my wife anymore [/QUOTE]
