[QUOTE="carolineislands, post: 70484, member: 5695"] Thanks for the heads up. I think I might have already had a similar experience when I moved to a new city and first started attending the Black church there. I had been part of the Black community for while, both in Haiti and US but not in that particular city. I am a musician and have sang and played with Black gospel choirs for years. But coming into a new community was odd. They didn't really know how to take me until I joined the choir and they realized I was not really as white as I look. :}{}{}: Eventually people got used to me. Yes, this is very encouraging to me. Actually they just sent me to a link where one gets the daily reading from the Golden Temple and suggested I listen to it and read it each day. Here's today's: [SIZE=2] But, what is "Darshan?" Pardon me for asking, but are you a woman or man? Women wear Dastaar? I know some of the 3HO Sikh women wear turbans -- also called dastaar? Funny, I have that assurance as well. There is no other faith I could embrace as fully as Sikhism. I know I'm headed in the right direction. Thank you. It's nice to know there are others out there who have blazed the trail already. :up:[/SIZE] You are so inspiring! Yes, I want to become a decent representation of Sikhi before I start wearing the badge. I have not searched all my life for a path to truly love God to get to this place and make a game out of it. I heard a Sikh man giving a presentation at a university and he spoke of a discussion he had with one of his students in which he asked her who she believed was going to get into heaven. She said only the people who believed as she did. He asked, but how about the Hindu who lives a good life and follows his religion? The girl answered that the Hindu would go to hell. And what about the Muslim, he asked? The Muslim too. Finally he asked, And what about me? She replied that he too, would be going to hell. Then he said that if hell was where God wanted to send him that would be fine with him because all he wanted from God was to love him. I want that kind of love. I think the outward signs of Sikhi are beautiful. And, believe me, when it comes my time to put them on, I will be very honored and happy to do it. But that's not the motive or the goal. The goal is to be so in love with God that my tongue forgets how to make harsh words and I can start to remember to be mindful in thought and deed. To love God so much that I can say, "Send me where you will God, as long as you allow me to love you -- even if it's hell." I do have the Kara and I will wear it for the first time tomorrow. It's the symbol of my intention and a reminder that I am on a different path now... my life has a purpose and that purpose is to fall more in love with God with every passing moment. [/QUOTE]
