[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 211071, member: 14641"] Boys and Girls, I would like to tell you a story, a story that came to me whilst I was lying in bed, it is a made up story, it is not real. There was once a bus driver, lets call him, oh I dunno, Raj Singh, anyway Raj was a very very very religious Sikh and always recited bani whilst he was driving, often he would get caught up in the bani as he was so religious, so devout, that the bani would speak to him, and he would find himself embroiled in the very bani, as indeed one would, however, one day, as he recited whilst he was driving a coach load of children, so lost in the bani was he, that he did not notice the brake lights flash up, and smashed straight into another coach full of pensioners, The question, has being lost in bani ever resulted in an error whilst carrying out real life duties? If so, how is it explained? was it destined to happen? did god make it happen? What of the person that caused it to happen, should they be blamed? Who was at fault? Now, allow me to comment on this, in what I call flowery writing, also [USER=17409]@chazSingh[/USER], you mentioned that the SGGS is written in flowery writing, I disagree, it is a writing of wit, mild sarcasm, discretion and requires intelligence to understand its slow unraveling of the truth, love does not empower education, and it is education that the SGGS has in abundance. Love that education by all means, describe the love in as flowery a language as you wish, but that is where the flowers stop. So here goes, flowery writing, as reported in the Sikh Flower Times Yesterday, devout Sikh Raj Singh achieved martyrdom by allowing himself to be lost in bani, whilst driving his bus, one cannot comprehend the beauty of the moment that caused Raj to completely lose himself in the Gurus grace and accept the will of the Guru. It was of course, his karma, his fate, and indeed the fate of all the 34 that died and 80 injured, it is of course the will of God, who are we to ask or inquire as the way in which he plays with our lives, we should not take it seriously, as it is only a game, God called his son to him, and his son called back, we will never understand, we should not try and understand. He was doing God's grace at the time and should be respected as a martyr. The above is not directed or aimed at anyone in particular, it is merely how I perceive flowery writing. I would be interested in any views on the scenario, flowery or not. [/QUOTE]
