[QUOTE="pk70, post: 84915, member: 5889"] [B]How are you Sinister ji? Again we have disagreements to ponder over![/B] you must understand, A faith is designed in a defensive manner to keep out objective analysis (as in any organized religion...emotion creeps in). Religion and Religious Philosophy shows no mercy to rationality, especially when rationality stands in opposition to long held construction of realities.( quote) [B]I concur; however, rationality still exists if one breaks those barriers constructed by institutionalizing forces[/B]. [B]Many of the time, Guru Nanak asks you to weigh things in rationality instead of following blindly. Do you need quotes, let me know. [/B]I think your original intention was to bring out a human face to the guru's, which is never presented in the faith: [B]Sinister ji, may I ask you what do you mean by human face? [/B]did guru gobind singh have feelings of revenge, hatred, love, anxiety, fear? [B]Those feelings can be deciphered through his actions during his dealing with those who totally apposed him; they were very obviously of an enlightened one. Many still couldn’t understand his decisions because of it.[/B] [B]Instruction of Guru to Sikhs” let the attacker go if he runs away in the battle; where is the revenge, this is verified in the History. Ready to fight with only 40 people at hand against thousands, Guru himself wrote about this in Zaffarnama, where is the fear? [/B]the religion is completely mute when it comes to expressing emotions...other than love... [B]Wrong, it speaks about fear, revenge literally while teaching love for Him, the difference is the window we look into before building love for Him; with love, righteousness is also promoted as well which gives new prospective to use those feelings you talk about..[/B] (I can see it, in the way [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/"]Sikh[/URL] Chela words his posts, which is remarkably similiar to mine) [B]You have surprised me here; I have found your posts based [U]on rationality only[/U] not [U]on rumors, [/U]what I have missed? I just cannot believe your comparison of your posts with this one. If rationality is missed, it is not Snister ji’s pos,t that was my impression so far. [/B]of co{censored}, avid believers do believe that the Guru's were capable of doing absolutely nothing wrong...so clearly in the eyes of Sikhs...the Guru's were not humans (because all humans have faults)...for them The guru is an alien construct (something that must not be judged, because judging requires ego, but whose authority must be submitted to and accepted, as is). [B]If you don’t practice what you preach, why my rationality should accept you as my teacher? Same thing goes with Sikhs Gurus; they practiced what they preached and paid for it dearly, otherwise if they wanted, they would have forged alliance with all oppositions as many today’s Dera Gurus do.
