    Pride And Balance

    Acknowledging that we struggle with our ego is better than fake humility.

    Sikh Girls Marrying Non Sikhs In India

    RE: Humble Creature. You have mentioned that these women are young and impressionable. You've talked about the vulnerability of the teenage mind. You've also talked about the cultural shifts occurring towards more materialistic tendencies. But let's remember that these changes are not...

    Sikh Girls Marrying Non Sikhs In India

    "My Apologies and my fault, I said you "Bro" , But you even didn't put any of your middle name after forename" --> You Also do not have your middle name up. Your natural assumption that anyone communicating with you here is a man... remains problematic. "coz mostly they're media...

    Sikh Girls Marrying Non Sikhs In India

    I don't understand why you're assuming I'm your bro... will it make a difference if I'm female? I suppose SOME of what you say makes sense, but I think the big thing to analyze here is why otherwise intelligent and competent Punjabi girls are choosing this path? What is happening in their...

    Sikh Girls Marrying Non Sikhs In India

    Lol. I don't understand why this is such a passionate concern. You will only end up with 1 woman. Also, as much as our culture tries, you can't shame or Control girls (or boys) into doing what you want. All you can do is treat the other person well. Sikh men marry outside too, it's not just...

    Is It A Sin? Uplifting Women And Giving Them Practically Equal Rights In Each Custom And Ritual

    *Not really a response to the particular question* But what is so awful about women? Today, women earn, they are and have been key parts of the household and communities. In some instances, they hold their families together and are single parents. And everyone loves their Mom. So, what's the...

    Hard Talk Is Sikhism A Organised 'religion' ? And If So Is That Antithetical To The Teaching Of Gurmat?

    I do agree with you to an extent. I appreciate the egalitarian view you've presented. However it cannot be denied that the core of any religion is sustained by Practice. I think there's definitely a trend among nominal Sikhs, Christians etc. where they express frustration about feeling excluded...

    Hard Talk Is Sikhism A Organised 'religion' ? And If So Is That Antithetical To The Teaching Of Gurmat?

    I think it does unless it wants to be engulfed by other traditions with more resources, who have claimed it's merely a symptom or segment of their own. Orthodoxy is necessary-- to differentiate itself, to define itself, and to accommodate the growing more global followers that may not have...

    Hard Talk Is Sikhism A Organised 'religion' ? And If So Is That Antithetical To The Teaching Of Gurmat?

    Isn't it a necessity? With modernity, the world and its people becoming more global, with the level of interfaith dialogue happening, don't some things have to be hashed out? I think every religion has the more fundamental prescriptions and the more lax ways to follow. I think it has less to do...

    How To See God In All?

    The path is not beyond Logic, but logical. Logic is not weak, it's a tool given to us. As competent adult human beings, 'worldly logic' is at our disposal to use for good. I do not think it is in God's interest for grown adults to behave like children or newborns. It is not glamorous but we must...

    How To See God In All?

    "the secret" "law of attraction", power of 'intention' new age voodo stuff. anything that demotes righteous conduct by substituting it with lame 'good intentions'

    How To See God In All?

    Why place such a big burden on yourself? There exist bad people in the world, when you recognize them by their actions, the ideal thing is to distance yourself and not try to change them. I think it's problematic to go through the world taking everything as a "sign" and taking things...
