[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 189685, member: 138"] Arshi ji, Guru Fateh. Thanks for your response. I apologise for being blunt from the get go. You many feel more hurt and distressed because that is what truth does and Gurbani teaches us to be honest in order to dwell in truthful living. I am still confused by it though. Why this doublespeak? We as Sikhs learn from each other, not hide behind sort of kind words when in reality they are meaningless because of the venomous nature of a pretend kindness. Hypocricy is not part of Sikhi but honesty is. Allow me to show you that from your own posts. It is for all to see and check. Here is the first example of true anger with a doublespeak of pretend kindness. You are hurt and distressed by my remarks but it is OK between brothers. If is is OK between brothers, then why feel hurt and distressed? The question you should ask yourself. What are you truly trying to say behind the veils? I agree Arshi ji, but sorry to disappoint you, it is you who made it personal, not me. Here again, you are passing the blame on others rather than taking any personal responsibility. Here is one of many examples where you have not shown kindness, nor understanding of what was being said. You applied the same trick here as you applied in this post about,[B]"But It is OK between the brothers"[/B]. Can you see your own hypocritical doublespeak? Arshi Ji, I totally agree with you that[B],"we must set a good example for our younger brothers and sisters"[/B]. Then I would suggest that you should ask yourself, your comments towards me [B] "This, in my opinion, is some what mischievous."[/B] [url]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/spiritual-articles/28344-the-five-realms-5.html#post189484[/url] [B]What sort of examples are we setting for our younger brothers and sisters with your above comments?[/B] This again has the tinges of doublespeak. First and foremost: [B]Forgiveness exists only in the mind of the forgiver, and therefore requires no "acceptance".[/B] Secondly, only Ik Ong Kaar has the power to forgive, the rancor of man is incapable of doing that. Lastly,you are being dishonest about forgetting too. Your own posts show that. Here is one of many examples: Arshi ji, let me ask you a question, if it is OK between brothers then why keep all the PM's from years ago?:) You see how it shows your doublespeak. I am glad I do not keep any PM's from the years gone by because for me it is really OK between the brothers and also I think it is a useless endeavour in my opinion unless one has a different agenda than one regularly sermons about. I am sure you have all the PM's because it shows it is NOT OK between brothers from your side. However, this is what I wrote in another thread regarding the PM from you. Arshi ji, I never said anywhere I did this work. I am surprised you remember our exchanges of 2009, so according to your own admission, there is no such thing as forgive and forget I must say.:) Arshi ji, I want to thank you for [B]finally[/B] admitting this although you fought with tooth and nail against the same very thing. Thanks for admitting that Bhai Sahib, Dr. Mohinder Singh, the Chairman and the main honcho of GNNSJ is NOT your faith leader, which proves, according to your own admission that he is a faith leader of a cult, not a faith leader of Sikhi, the point you vehemently denied earlier. So, taking your words on the face value, you admit now that this faith leader of the cult works for his own fame and also for the benefit of the cult using his Sikhi garb as a calling card by shaming Sikhi with his actions. He disdains mona Sikhs and I am sure you were aware of that even before Lucky Singh mentioned about it, but sadly did not fight for equality and nor did you speak against it. As you and I agree that your and mine only faith leader is Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru and it urges us to fight against injustice. No, we should not, and we will not as you have responded to other people's queries and/or pitched in. Sikhi is all about interaction. It is all about learning from each other and I will never let you stop teaching me from your Gurmat wisdom. I still would like to hear your views on the YUGS article I wrote and need your input about the similarities and differences in the thought process of what you wrote about the Five Realms and also your input about the futility of separating the pearls of this beautiful necklace called Jap. [FONT=Verdana]. It will be an honour to have your gracious presence when and if you visit Las Vegas. All seva is nishkaam in Sikhi, hence it is called Seva. Regarding your multi layered fifty, it was not to make fun of it but to appreciate it because it looks cool on you. In fact during 9-11, some Sikhs gave me Red, White and Blue fiftys to wear but I only wear black under-turban and I was distributing Red, White and Blue ribbons to all, so I decided to wear that ribbon for a year till the first anniversary where I was the first Sikh to be invited to talk about the tragedy. Arshi ji, I do not need any vouching from anyone regarding your kind heart. I know that you have it. I will be always indebted to you for your insights about Sikhi from which I have learnt a lot and will keep on learning from you. Arshi ji: It is OK to have disagreements and even heated arguments among brothers. One can only have that with one's own, not with the stranger. So, please do not take it by heart. Lastly, lets both do what Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru (our only faith leader) says[B]"Keep a steady eye On what lies ahead; Waste no time On what is past!"[/B] Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, M5, 1096:12 With utmost respect.
