[QUOTE="Anoop, post: 25586, member: 2246"] Good afternoon Balbir singh ji, I really respect sikhism, i was in situations where i didnt know ho wto connect to god, and i actually got depressed, because i thought that god was my only hope, and nothing in the world is going right for me. I thought that i can definately meet god just like that, and then on the other hand, i thought that i will never be able to see the divine light. The thing, is accepting is another thing, you cant just keep on accepting the truth in sikhism. If you keep accepting you will become weak and make yourself inferior. The thing is, where ever a person is from, that is what the way you pray to god depends on. In india, the old people in the pind for example, have nothing to do. But they should be acting like saints. Instead, there is so much lazyness going on. Ofcourse they are poor but, they have the time, infact enough time to spend on meditating. The people are not strong enough. Whereas the modern western world, many of us who are sikhs, but are gurmukhs, we should ofcourse carry on where we left of reading the sri guru greanth sahib ji etc. But we should realise that, we taking sikhism as an act, and nothing more but an act. The way it says to pray in the guru granth sahibjhi, its suitable to those people who were in Need of faith and guidance particularly in the 18th century. The thing is, we dont need to do everything that it says in the holy scriptures because life already is ok and going well. Sikhism was not particularly a religion, it was an action that god wanted to help the people. The gurus became god, and god words came out of them. Right now, we do everything selfishly, we say do this in sikhism, read this, and you will see god. The thing is, why cant we be happy of life the way it is. Instead of concentrating so much in thinking to pray to god we end up making sikhism as an act rather then helping the world. Im not against sikhism. I actually realised what sikhism really was. It was from god to inform people what to do. It is up to you to decide how god wants you to make you realise him. Yes people have different ways in going towards god. Im just saying, you dont have to do everything in sikhism to realise god. We dont need all of it because there is no crisis in the world for us. We dont need to be 'too' pure. The main thing is do everything for the love of god, unconditional love. Meditation can surely be enough to realise god if done with one pointed mind to god. It is done by connecting your mind and heart with god. God is the extreme concious the inner concious that always existed and is the ultimate truth. It brings love and the real main religions in the world are love and fear. Meditating helps to overcome fear and bring love. Love conquers fear. People reach god to make sure and never forget his presence, thats why they do everything. The problem is, people start to go over the top and actually do what it has been told in many religions. Thats why we stay unsatisfied because it dont work for all of us. Look at how many people follow sikhism, and yet, they havent followed it properly and there is no time for them to become like the gurus. Thats because we dont need to!! The thing is we can learn from the guru granth sahib ji, because even by reading one page from it, it is more then enough for us to realise god. That time people didn't have the knowledge of god. This age is for us sikhs to learn about the gurus and why they used such ways to meditate. Look at baba deep singh ji, and the gurus, it wasnt a miracle what had happened that led to unseen situations. It was because they were to pure, and devoted to much into god. It was needed in that time. We can learn from these god saints and gurus. You have to have passion to follow sikhism. If you can handle everything its ok. Pray to god the way you should with ur mind and heart. The truth is always there. There is so much acting but not enough action, we follow alot but the end result has no point. There is always a reason why religions were formed. Sikhism should be respected as it was from god. Do everything that suits you. You have to gain knowledge and then have understanding and then take action. Meditation is the basic and is enough for people, whereas people who have less spiritual devotion towards god, then yes, they should follow sikhism. It depends on how your able to cope with it. God is all of us. Remember god, and accept what you can do... have passion for the inner subconcious god...the divine light... [/QUOTE]
