[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 93164, member: 138"] JimRinX, Guru Fateh. Pardon my ignorance but I do not know what you are talking about here. What made you think I am disheartened about Guru Arjan? I would like you to show me that in my essay and elaborate on that. Yes, I totally agree with you about the former but I have no idea how much you know or read about all other Gurus. It is worth mentioning that Sikhi is the only way of life that evolved in more than 200 years, that's why it is idea based, hence the idea evolved with time, unlike other faiths which are personality based and it took one life span of a person to set the rules. So, all Gurus had vital roles and with the duration of time they were able to advance the idea of Sikhi. Hinduism is more a mythology so its time span does not come into play. I fail to understand this giggle and mockery with the invented name of the book. I am not bewildered nor feel insulted but puzzled about what point you are trying to make. Well, as you write the above, subliminal insult does come to your mind and it shows. Again I fail to see what you really mean and what your true intentions are. Please elaborate it in an eloquent fashion if you could. As you have admitted yourself you have not read all the posts about this thread, one can also see you have not read the essay itself in its entirety and seems to have jumped to conclusion by reading a few lines. Once again you are jumping to conclusions. I repeat that I have no idea what is on your mind. If you had read the first response on the essay which was by Antonia ji, you would have gotten your answer. Once again, it seems you have just glossed over the whole essay rather than reading it thoroughly. I did mention we are all products of our envoirment. The 3 semitic religions would prove that with their inflluence on each other. I have no idea about your faith or religion but one thing you fail to realise or have not read enough in order to grasp the main point- no offense intended, which is worth mentioning again is that Sikhi is the only Way of life that is NOT personality based like the 3 semitic religions,Buddism,Jainism and Hinduism but Idea based. So no matter how many cultural references we share, the blue print is totally different. I agree with you partly. But you have falied to see the deeper side of Gurbani. Allow me to elaborate that a bit more. Gurbani is written in a poetic-musical form. And one should not ignore this part. Music is the most powerful medium to make us come out of our self created cocoons. It breaks our self constructed inner walls and liberate us from our own shackles. It makes us honest about ourselves. it makes us constantly check our inner nakedness without any shame. Yes, it is very metaphorical, which is one more beauty of Gurbani which you seem to have ignored in a non-chalant manner. Metaphors are the kaledioscopes of our lives. They eventually become the prisms with multiple angles and depending on our spiritual quest; with time we discover more angles about ourselves through Gurbani. I do not understand what you mean by literal. I would like you to elaborate that. For me literal in a religious sense means dogmas- subjective truths like in the 3 semitic religions which teach cans and can nots and haves and havenots, unlike Sikhi which instills wills and willnots. In other words Sikhi creates the blueprint of life. It teaches us to breed goodness within which is the seed of love and as you know love blossoms from the within, it can not be imposed. The way I see Sikhi, Mool Mantar is the blueprint and Japji is the foundation and the rest of the Gurbani is the design to map our own buildings. Now it depends on our inner quest what kind of building the individual wants to erect while having the 2 basic and the vital components. I apologise for being repetitive but I have no idea how much of Gurbani you have read but in Japji, Guru Nanak mentions about other Milkyways and innumerous planets. Yes, it was written more than 500 years ago but we have been discovering all this recently with the help of better telescopes. It was not his prophecy because Sikhi is not about the prophecies but It shows his vision long before time. More about what Antonia ji mentioned about Gurbani later. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
