[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 170315, member: 4990"] Rituals are what the world is accustomed to. Converting rituals, prayer rituals, marriage rituals, etc. All religions encourage the reading of holy scriptures. But reading alone is just a ritual. Reading with understanding will bring you closer to the fact that God already resides within you and it is pointless to search Him from outside yourself. Making pilgrimages for e.g. are all an outer show of what the world wants. Some people sing hymns in trance states, shouting at the top of their voice. The more noise they make, the better they feel. God's Light shines within every Soul regardless of religion. Religions are labels. God's Light that shines bright within one's self makes him a Khalsa. Guru Gobind Singh's hymns state thus as seen in the video below. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmQTpeVAb8o"]Jaagat Jot Jape by Bhai Manpreet Singh in Raag Gujri Todi with lyrics - Baisakhi 2011 - YouTube[/url] [COLOR=SlateGray][B]Translation of the Hymn is as follows:-[/B][/COLOR] He the Khalsa meditates on the Ever-Radiant Light day and night and rejects all else but the one Lord from the mind. He decorates himself with perfect love and faith, and believes not in fasts, tombs, crematoriums, and hermit cells even by mistake. He knows none except the one Lord in the performance of acts of pilgrimage, charities, compassion, austerities and self control. So now let's see how the origin of symbols also has its origin in the spiritual aspect of man. Lighting the lamp in the temples or sounding the bell in the church all have their origin from the inner light and inner sound current - Shabad.
