[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 106405, member: 35"] The Guru's perspective on the value of human life is actually reflected in both Sri Guru Granth Sahib and in Dasam Granth - and to be found in a very curious context. That of cannibalism as religious ritual. The aghori sadhus eat human flesh - the flesh of corpses after they have been immolated in cremation and then set afloat in the Ganges. [URL="http://www.ceveni.com/2009/01/aghori-sadhus-eating-human-flesh-video.html"]Aghori Sadhus eating human flesh video very shocking[/URL] It is a ritualized aspect of their spiritual practice and accepted in society. An interesting exercise is to search for yogis, yoginis using Gurbani search engines for both Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth and see what verses come up. Human life is precious, so Guruji's message is - Rather than remaining fixated on death, the dead, cemetaries, spirits haunting burial grounds, the cadavers of warriors and horses --- none of this is where the consciousness of a gursikh needs to be. I don't think Gurbani will say anywhere that human life is more precious than other forms of life. Gurbani will say -- from where we stand our life is too precious to waste it -- and we have evolved to a level of consciousness to make better use of our lives. I take that idea from this shabad (part of a shabad) [COLOR=red] [/COLOR] ਮਿਲੁ ਜਗਦੀਸ ਮਿਲਨ ਕੀ ਬਰੀਆ ॥ mil jagadhees milan kee bareeaa || Meet the Lord of the Universe - now is the time to meet Him.
