As Gyani ji has so eloquently put and so have Professor Sahib Singh ji, [LIST] [*]Guru Granth Sahib ji is one and indivisible [*]Quoting a tuq here or there is terrible to say the least let alone build a sustained explanation [*]Professor Sahib Singh ji and Gyani ji eluded to the fact that it is most important to review the stanza past the “rahao” and even more importantly read more shabads rather than less when you attempt to do fragmented deductions. [*]In addition, if you are quoting Professor Sahib Singh ji, it is very well advised to read his preambles so brilliantly written regarding the then interpretations made by people who as Gyani ji put it “tried to get the dustbin out of a garbage truck that Gurus worked so hard to dispose of in establishing Sikhism” [LIST] [*]Brilliant discourse on Bhagat Namdev ji’s Mandir and other controversies including Krishna and idol worship [/LIST] [*]It makes me very sad to read some of your posts as I consider you to be very intelligent and articulate person.

[/LIST] The following is my understanding, [LIST] [*]Hinduism and Islam hate Sikhism as Sikhism shook these to their roots [*]Certain elements will try their best to make Sikhism look like something else that it is not and “fook shkah” (encourage) such misguided people by giving them visibility and priveleges. [LIST] [*]Hindus will say we are just a sect of Hinduism [*]Islam will say we are just mis-guided infidels [/LIST] [*]The easiest (mind you peaceful strategy) way to destroy Sikhism is to divide and rule.
