i always thought that the lesser deities were like the angels and saints in Catholicism. why would the Catholic God need angels and saints to do what can be done by Him alone? no idea...

i think it's my turn... hello all! i don't think i introduced myself. actually, i don't think i remembered that this section existed til a couple of minutes ago... :eek: my name's Sukhi, and i'm tryin to learn as much about spirituality and Sikhi as i possibly can. call me a nerd will'ya...

Ideal Singh, although i agree with u, i think i understand what Satbir is trying to say. i think a lot of us take life waaay too seriously at times. we get too involved in things that aren't as important and waste our time worrying. not that it's wrong to be concerned about your own survival and...

i think people who practice their religion are trying to fulfill that need... personally speaking, i believe that we're all here to leave the world a better place than it was when we got here. now, whether you do that through practicing your religion, volunteering your time, donating money to...

wow... well, the only thing i can think of is that when i have problems and am really stressed, a good dose of Simran helps ease my fears, clear my mind, and gets me back to the calm girl i normally am.

that's so true. how many times have we done Keertan and not understood the meaning properly? i find that if i try to understand the meaning behind whatever it is i'm listening to or reading, i enjoy it more and get more out of it. take for example the Mool Mantr. i've known it since i was a...

i think one of the problems with Sikhi surviving is that a lot of people aren't open to people of other races embracing their culture or religion. a lot of people confuse culture with religion and thus have a problem with other cultures adopting Sikhi as part of their lives. but... one of the...

but you're forgetting that theism only exists because of humans. thus atheism would be humanity arguing with itself about whether God exists or not...
