[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 197525, member: 14641"] t can I take it then that your first quote in all its definitiveness is actually rubbish, as you yourself have no idea what you are talking about, by your own admission. Allow me to enlighten you, as normally, speaking for myself, I tend to use words and phrases I am familiar with. If you are a Hindu, be a good Hindu If you are a Sikh be a good Sikh, For those that feel the need to take facets of both religions, I am not sure how one goes about being a good Hindu/Sikh, Vedic Spirituality is the spiritual connection as defined and utilised by Hindus, if you look at a picture of Shiva meditating on a mountain top, I would class that as Vedic Spirituality. If however, you look at a picture of Bhai Kanhaiya helping wounded Muslim soldiers, that, to me anyway, and it is only my opinion, is an example of Sikh spirituality. it is either being mocked, or it is the result of badly translated Bani. Oh Im fine, we are all doing this in our own way, if you guys wish to connect by meditating that is up to you, but please don't try and pass it off as the way, the only way, that is all I object to. Pray do tell when this judging happens? Do we have a judgement day like the Muslims and the Christians? Goody, I always thought plain old Sikhism was a bit boring what with the lack of bells and whistles, and according to you, more definitive statements, thoughts and intentions are judged not actions, oh well, I am clearly living my life wrong, I should be watching my thoughts in case the spaghetti god reads my thoughts and punishes me! Personally, I think NK was on to something when she just deleted this rubbish, it was certainly easier and less time consuming than having to sit here and question it, but I personally do not want a single young person reading this forum leaving, thinking its ok to do what you want, provided you do not think it... Do tell me what you call watching a group of Hindus cup water to the sun god, and then turning around and cupping water to your fields many miles away? Do tell me where you draw the line between ego and counter argument? I have never ever seen Hinduism as anything other than a fine religion, and I resent your intimation that I am anti Hindu. What I am is anti mixing religions, I have no doubt you can find Mukti in Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, etc etc, I also have no doubt you will not find Mukti if you just take the interesting bits from each and form your own religion. To bring this all back to the subject in hand, Naam is defined in Wikki as so to that end, if you are a Hindu, you are correct, as is most of what you are writing, my argument is that in Sikhism Naam is something different, it is more of a connection, a very physical connection with Creation, rather than a spiritual connection of soul uniting.
