[QUOTE="harbansj24, post: 106371, member: 4544"] Dear Josh ji, Please do appreciate that the forum of internet has its own limitations and cannot cater to endless debates and arguments. At best you can get some limited clarifications from people who are knowledgeable in the subject. You cannot garner total in depth knowledge here. Any attempt to do so will will only lead to diversionary and pointless discussions. We can at best have clarity on basics only. What Narayanjot Kaur ji and others have said can briefly be said as under: A Gursikh is one who: [LIST] [*]Recognizes Guru Granth Sahib as his/her Guru. [*]Has 5ks and does not contemplate discarding them. [*]Does Simran, Kirit and Vand Chakh. [/LIST] Others who only partly adhere to the above, are not Gursikhs, whatever else they may be. Our Dasam Pita had (I believe He still has!) tremendous fore knowledge when he prescribed a code of conduct for Sikhs. Only now the world is beginning to realise this. Just two examples will suffice; 1. The Surgeon General of USA, the most advanced country in the world had declared only 50 years ago that Tobacco is harmful to health and the world is moving towards total ban only now but our Dasam Pita had said the same thing in 1699. 2. Govts. the world over are now officially saying that to prevent AIDS we must practice sexual faithfulness. Our Dasam Pita had said it in 1699. Lee ji has also been rasing similar queries. To him also I will say that to a GurSikh the hukum of Guru is sufficient. (and we do not doubt that he actually ordained us that way) As a very limited anwer to Lee ji, I would say the following: A "Sabat Soorat [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL]" has to think twice before he does anything unethical because whenever such a person is involved in wrongdoing it will be said that a [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL] has done wrong. This is not so with any other community. It does not mean that a Sabat Soorat [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL] does no wrong but whenever he does, the whole community gets identified so that it does make him that much more careful. Similarly whenever a [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL] does something good, he brings a good name to community. If both Josh ji and Lee ji wish to understand Sikhi in its entirety, then I will humbly suggest that they invest time and read the following books by Bhai Vir Singh Ji: 1. Guru Nanak Chamatkar. 2. Guru Kalghidar Chamatkar 2. Asht Guru Chamatkar And if possible also Baba Naudh Singh and Rana Surat Singh. After reading these all your qurries and doubts will be answered. These Books are published by Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan, New Delhi Guru Fateh and regards Harbans Singh [/QUOTE]
