Ambarsaria ji, first of all; I am extremely sorry if I come across as nagging. I don’t know what have given you this impression of me. I am young and maybe the questions I ask or the things I say are stupid. Or maybe it is because English is my third language and therefore what I intend to say...

Thank you manj kr ji :8-) Yes, all we can do is try. Everyone has the potential to change and we don’t lose anything in trying to bring out that potential and make it blossom. I remember Michael Jordan once saying, I can accept failure, everyone fails at times. But I can’t accept not trying. And...

No, Ambarsaria ji, I think you have misread/misunderstood what I am saying. I am not saying that I will change people with different views than mine. I am just saying that I will try to change those views that do not fit with universal morality. I understand that this is hard, and therefore I...

Thank you Confused ji for shedding light on the topic. I hadn’t thought of it like that before. Your way of explaining the whole issue really gave me an “aha” moment...If our feelings are accompanied by anger, we are selfish. If they are on the other hand accompanied by neutrality or pleasant...

Thank you Ambarsaria ji for sharing your analysis and viewpoints. I agree that factors like parenting, selfishness and religion can shape a person to think the way he/she does. And I understand that selfishness and one’s upbringing can lead to such thinking. However, what I do not understand is...

Sometimes we meet people who have views and opinions that do not fit with our way of thinking. We argue with them and we try to convince them. However, it often ends with things like let’s agree to disagree. But is this always beneficial? Should we just give up on people who have an immoral way...

Thank you ji :8-) Maybe you have another way of looking at this than I do, but I honestly don't or would ever find this "funny". Couldn't agree more. It is only a big deal if you make it a big deal.

I once asked a Muslim girl why she chose to wear the hijab, and she said it is because God sees women as 'diamonds' and tries to, through the hijab, protect them from indecent thoughts from men. And that made me think. Why should a woman who is not, in any way, trying to create such thoughts, do...

Aha, I understand. Thank you for a great answer! =)

SSA everyone :8-) What exactly is the difference between pantheism and panentheism? Which of the two does Sikhism fall under? Please refer to Gurbani to justify your answers.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts prakash.s.bagga ji! Appreciate your post. Made me think. And thank you for making me more aware of the translation-aspect of analysing shabads. I had not really given it much thought before now. And best of luck for the writing of your book... Chardi kala ji...

Oh, thanks for the info! I prob should try to be more critical in the future... :8-):

Interesting discussion spnadmin ji and prakash.s.bagga ji... I was also going to ask how much the translation/the translator matters in analysing a shabad, but then, I came to the conclusion that since the translation is taken from SGPC, it must a be trustworthy one...

Re: Names like Parvati Hahahaha:rofl!!:

Re: Names like Parvati I am glad I was able to help! :yes: I would say yes indeed! Sikhi teaches us to not force anyone into a religion. Sikhs should be open to people of any religious background. As Sikhs, we should in fact look at different religions as different ways of getting to that...
