[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 180714, member: 14641"] Its very simple, you need to find out about Sikhism, not the 5 K's, not the Gurus, not the Gurus personalities, not the sakhis, but the absolute core philosophy, which is to be at one with yourself and the world. I have no children, but if my child said he did not believe in God, I would not have a problem with that. I have a stepson, who does not believe in God, but he does believe in doing good, having a good heart, helping others, and being true to himself, and quite frankly, that is enough for me, he does not realise that it is his connection with God that assists him in these attributes, I do, and I am fine with that, I would much rather that, than a stepson who declared an undying belief in God but behaved badly towards those around him. The Gurus were just like me and you, they had no special powers, no special supernatural means, they just had a supreme connection with God, with Creator. as for 'Ik Onkar', no it is not pretty clear cut, there are many variations to the meaning, the one which I hold dear is 'the eternal truth'. Others would translate it differently, the common one being 'there is only one God', as for the stories, rubbish most of them, dressed up so our Gurus appeared as magical and interesting as the Vedic heroes of the day. The sad thing is that they did not need magic powers, it was not about stopping stones or bringing people back to life or curing the sick by laying hands, it was about connection, perception, wisdom, knowledge, understanding. I put it to you that actually, this is no more than a desire to cut your hair so you may integrate with your peers, date girls, have sex, etc etc. I do not think this has anything to do with religion, you think religion is basically stopping you from having fun, and you want out, that is how I read you. Excellent, read, and keep reading, browse the web, get an overview, get lots of different opinions, and then form your own, remember the litmus test, if it doesnt sound very Sikhi, it probably is not. For it to sound Sikhi, it needs to ring true. Our parents never made mistakes, they did not have that luxury to learn from mistakes, everything was mapped out, they know what they had to do, and they did it. But what you are talking about is the universal eternal constant truth, see your a Sikh! :winkingmunda: Hmm there it is again, the hair, what you really wish to do, I feel, is get a haircut, and that is what you are trying to justify. and once again, the hair, we keep coming back to this Excellent, you are a dog owner, look into your dogs eyes, your dog knows nothing about philosophy, about hair, about God, but look into its eyes, deeply, you will then know and see God.
