Ah wonderful, enjoy the experience, I remember my youth well, in those days I wore a turban too, they were the most innocent and uncomplicated of times. Ah well, cap or turban, at that age at least you are still living innocently and without complications Oh, course you do, its because a cap...

I am no scholar, I can barely ready Punjabi, but everytime I have heard the word 'har' in every context I have heard it, it always seems to mean everything to me, or all the time, I have always taken its meaning to be all inclusive, every all,

Please clarify 'one message' too little and too much, I think an entire shabad is adequate personally. could you please reference "Do-ay kar jodh maango ik daana", thank you of course, and it is no different for you, yours is also just an opinion. We are different people, I accept whatever...

sure it is, you have to first define Sikh, who is a Sikh? the one that does not eat meat? the one that believes in reincarnation? the one that spends a fortune on his daughters wedding and ensures it is to the same caste? This is impossible and hugely dangerous, The SGGS was never meant to be...

Nuanced differences does not cover the enormous chasm between outlooks and opinions in Sikhism. Should we eat meat?, are we going to be reborn? is God going to change the very fabric of life because of an Ardass?, these are just a few of the many questions that divide us. What we do know is...

but it is not all or nothing, how many of those that follow the tenets are following badly translated or badly understood aspects of Sikhism? Sikhism should be a journey that is free and open to everyone to proceed at their own pace and understanding. Being in possession of all 5 K's is no...

I think if one thinks too deeply about in effect, rewiring your brain, one needs to be prepared for the consequences, my brain has been wired by my life, my actions, my thoughts, and as such, it is me, ready to react at many of the situations I get myself into. If I were to tamper with its...

I have a better idea, everyone meets up at the house in question, read Mool Mantra, and then everyone leaves the house with the idea of interacting with as many people as possible and displaying the facets of Creator as stated. When everyone returns several hours later, everyone cooks a big...

Once upon a time, in a land far way there were two cities, quite far away from each other, the first city was a very modern city, filled with very modern people, it was affluent, had many facilities for entertainment and pleasure, restaurants, movie theaters, big imposing buildings and big...

true, but only truthful living exposes them to us and should be lived, no matter what then live and experience fully

What is leading a truthful life? avoiding lies? or living lies to expose them and understand them fully? If you have never lived, how can you truly die? If we put 'do not cross' barriers along all the parts of life that we perceive as bad, or lies, or destructive, then we cut out a rich seam of...
