[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 181341, member: 138"] Harvir, Guru Fateh I am glad, then you must be aware that it becomes difficult for one to make blanket claims with the limited knowledge. All the above can be modified, edited and changed. Hence nothing concrete about them to claim what you have about Sikhi. Only studying the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji can teach one about Sikhi. The rest is self manufactured babble which is insulting to the self. What is your own viewpoint based upon? What have you studied deeply to reach to your conclusions about Sikhi? Please share. First and foremost, Sikhi is the journey of the individual. It is NOT a religion. That is why there is no clergy, no rituals like fasting, pilgrimages etc. etc. These things are must to form/define any religion. It is all mentioned in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. What did you study to reach to the conclusion that Sikhi is dogmatic? Please give concrete examples with references about your studies in Sikhi for your above determination. I am not here to judge what others do but to become better in this Sikhi journey with the help of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru. Some read things mechanically like parrots hoping for some miracles to happen, which is not Sikhi but the invasion of Hindutva in it. Others study in order to learn and practice what they have learnt so far in their lives, as you do while trying to pass your 'O' levels. There is no such thing/entity in Sikhi. That is the beauty of the poetry of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Each one of us makes it the prose of our lives according to our understanding and which changes with time with the new discovery in this beautiful poetry daily. Thus, Sikhi is all about learning, unlearning and relearning which is the way of life of every human being in that aspect. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru describes [B][I][U]Ik Ong Kaar[/U][/I][/B], the first word in the it, as [B][I][U]One Source of all there is.[/U][/I][/B] It furthers explains that [B][I][U]Ik Ong Kaar is Creative Energy[/U][/I][/B] which is in organic and inorganic, hence omnipresent. Unfortunately by your own claim you have no knowledge about it which surprises me about your proclamations about Sikhi. Once again you are talking about others. I would like you to share your own knowledge and how you reached to your conclusions about Sikhi by your first hand information, not on any hearsay, which demeans your own intellect. Well, the beauty of Sikhi is to learn, unlearn and relearn daily in our lives with the help of our actions/deeds and experiences. The Sikh Scholars of yesteryears will have a different view point today than they had at their time. Sikhi is idea based not personality based as religions are. Hence, ideas expand with time. They help us develop and improve ourselves. Sikhi is nothing but an expansion of the ideas that we all have and develop no matter what professional field we choose. It is the foundation of the goodness of humanity. It gives us tools to excel in all aspects. Are you aware that Guru Nanak talked about billions of Galaxies and Planets 500 years ago without the help of any telescope. It is in [B][I][U]Jap[/U][/I][/B] which starts on page 1 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji after Mool Mantar. He said it while looking at the awe and wow factors that we are surrounded by and being bewildered in this blissful ecstasy called the nature bursting with Energy. One more important thing to point out, Sikhi does not believe in prophets nor in any prophecies which are considered snake oil salesmen and snake oil rubs respectively. Nothing dogmatic about that. Would n't you agree? Good Luck in your studies and in your personal journey. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
