Re: Dominance of Rituals in Sikh Religion This earth is not for humans. Don't misquote one tuk out of whole Shabad. You seem to be reading more Sikhmarg than Gurbani. It is long thread. I am only on 3rd page, not going to read anymore. You are trying to change meanings of Gurbani to fit...

Sayedd Prithipal Singh's story was written by Bhai Harbans Lal few months back somewhere. During his Islamic Education in Mecca, he came across writings of Guru Nanak. He became Prithipal Singh from a Sayedd Muslim in first half of last century.

If first line defines us, Sikhism is finished within us already. About people in other countries hating us, it is now new. It is happening since day 1. We had to earn respect in India, we have to do the same in other countries too. Natives always are wary of different looking people.

This thread reminded me of short Punjabi story 'Karamat' by Kartar Duggal.

18 Hours daily for 24 years. Such a selfless seva! And sometimes there are Shabads which need time to understand Antreev Bhav. Blessed are those people and successful are their lives.

Maya strikes again! Watch!

ਕਬੀਰ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਇਕ ਸਿਉ ਕੀਏ ਆਨ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਜਾਇ ॥ Edited with translaiton. See below. Please forgive me Lallihayer ji, but forum rules require the English as well as the Gurmukhi. Ozarks ji did not provide the translation either. however, the verse is in his signature line. Your point nonetheless...

Kaur-1 ji, Manmukhs can get even more than Gurmukhs. Focus more. Answer is the key to next level. I am posting just to clarify the tuk, nothing to do with rest of the discussion. Special Note: Accepting Hukm does not mean fatalism.

Is it freedom from fear of death or freedom from death?

Very good question. If we become one with Him, we lose ourselves. If we die, we lose ourselves. It is not confusing at all.

It is the same absolute. Some call Him Allah, some Jevohah, some call Him Vishnu, others know Him as Shiva. But when you think Shiva as one of 3.3 billion (or some other numbers) gods or one of the trimurti guys, you are not thinking of Him as absolute.

Lord is ਪੂਰਨ ਬਿਧਾਤਾ, perfect architect of destiny. The moment first event occurred for creation of universe, last was known to Him. Lord is ਅਕਾਲ, beyond time. Universe, His creation is bound in time. Lord created time and space. Looking at His creation from outside this timeline, He does not...

ਪੂਛਤ ਪਥਕਿ ਤਿਹ ਮਾਰਗ ਨ ਧਾਰੈ ਪਗਿ।। ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਕੈ ਦੇਸ ਕੈਸੇ ਬਾਤਨੁ ਕੇ ਜਾਈਐ। ਪੂ੍ਛਤ ਹੈ ਬੈਦ ਖਾਤ ਅਉਖਦ ਨ ਸੰਜਮ ਸੈ। ਕੈਸੇ ਮਿਟੈ ਰੋਗ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜ ਸਮਾਈਐ। ਪੂ੍ਛਤ ਸੁਹਾਗਨ ਕਰਮ ਹੈ ਦੁਹਾਗਨਿ ਕੈ। ਰਿਦੈ ਬਿਬਿਚਾਰ ਕਤ ਸਿਹਜਾ ਬੁਲਾਈਐ। ਗਾਏ ਸੁਨੇ ਆਂਖੇ ਮੀਚੈ ਪਾਈਐ ਨ ਪਰਮਾਪਦੁ। ਗੁਰ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਗਹਿ ਜਉ ਲਉ ਨ ਕਮਾਈਐ।।੪੩੯।।
