[QUOTE="Parma, post: 162923, member: 4724"] It is these sorts of soundbites I find unhelpful and confusing, sure they sound good, but in terms of real life pragmatic assistance they are largely useless. A belief in nothing is an Udasi path, which is fine if your Udasi. [COLOR=#ff0000]Commitment does not come from conviction. It comes from an understanding expand your thoughts and there you will find your commitment[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]How is it useless to not be considered with a conviction, but instead to develop commitment with understanding? Are you saying the mind is a useless instrument? So you go agian spliting sikhism into tribes.[/COLOR] The practice of Gurbani is more important than the thinking of Gurbani, or even the study, in my view. That is what I stand for. Anyone who looks for enlightenment is by their very nature looking to win, you are contradicting yourself by suggesting we 'go with the flow'. [COLOR=blue]No I am not condradicting myself by suggesting "go with the flow" because I am saying all journeys are ok, but follow the truth, the path of the gurbani, weather that is your understanding on it or someone else's understanding on it the result i guess is the same it is peace, unless your just looking for hukam. Then define Hukam, and how does that replace peace? Looking to win what? [/COLOR] I do not seek enlightenment, if I were to be enlightened I would not find this state of mind undesirable. [COLOR=blue]As you are not looking to develop or be a sikh, [/COLOR][COLOR=blue]What are you then are you already realised or dare I say enlightened?[/COLOR] Personal development and enlightenment are not mutually inclusive, [COLOR=blue]What are they then?[/COLOR] I am not sure where you have made this judgement on regarding personal development. [COLOR=blue]Personal development means your learning or you learnt something which means you are enlightened. Simple thats the answer to your question[/COLOR] We are not Gods, nor are we superpeople, we are just human beings who have been given a mandate, a Hukam, on how to live, it is not going to turn us into Gods, it is not going to turn us into immortals, it is just going to enable us to spend the rest of our days in relative peace, regardless what the world throws at us, that is the best we can hope for, anyone searching for enlightenment has already lost, anyone searching for happiness has already lost, each day is a lesson, each day we pass or fail, each day is all we have [COLOR=blue]Who said anything about making people into gods, although god does exsist in you?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Madness my friend it is beyond my thinking like I said good luck to you! Hukam which I do not know your definition for is not sikhism alone that I can say so carry on sikh learn improve otherwise your already where you want to be then you are not a sikh because you are not learning, your progress has stopped.
