Is This Ego?

[CaramelChocolate]

Is it ego for someone to say [especially a Sikh].
My faith is true
My faith is the best
And say believers of other religions are 'lost'?

Please give input and quotes to back up points if possible.

I don't feel it's ego for me to say my faith is true and the best. To me it is the truest and the best - if I didn't think this, then I wouldn't follow it. Instead I would choose another.

I would say that it is arrogant to say the followers of another path are 'lost.' I believe Waheguru (or whatever one chooses to call the creator) has a plan for all. If he didn't want someone to be a Christian, for example, then that person would not have been born into a Christian path.

My understanding of Sikhi is that it is the actions of a person that are important, rather than any label. Therefore, to make a sweeping statement if I may, then those who wrong others, are the ones who are lost, regardless of which religion they claim to be part of.

So, I haven't voted in the poll because it's a split decision for me - sorry

it's not a crime to be have pride and faith in your religion, i woulkd caution not to go out and convert people directly. However, guru ji's message must be taught to the masses again like it was.

I think's it's also bad to say someone is "lost" if they are not sikh.

It can be. It often is, due to the fallicies within men and women.

The thing is that the Sikkh faith is not anything complex or convoluted. It is not a turban or a sword or a steel bracelet or any other piece moulded from this material world. The Sikkh faith is merely:

1. - The belief in One God

2. - The belief that all human beings ought to live a moral and full life whilst here on Earth.

This isn't what I'd call 'faith'. It's called common sense.

it's not a crime to be have pride and faith in your religion...

It's not a crime. But it is a train of thought that leads only to darkness.

A true Sikkh has no pride because s/he realises that All Is One under God.

In this world, there is no need for such trivial prde.
