[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 164982, member: 17438"] My dear brother Harry Haller ji mundahug Much love and joy to you my friend! I am very humbled by your kind words. I bring no dogma, no doctrines, no creeds of my religious tradition to any of the forums that I am on, you are spot on. That would be plain offensive, not to mention out of keeping with a spirit of true tolerance and compassion for our brothers and sisters of different faiths. Doctrine divides, separates, whereas the virtues, mysticism, love for creation, immanence and transcedence of God and everything else we hold in common highlights the underlying unity of all religions, bare of doctrinal differences and diversity of rites and customs. In truth I believe that there is only one religion in a diversity of religious faiths if we get to the very [I]heart. [/I] You will never see me mention dogmas such as the Trinity, or Incarnation, or whatever else, only the bonds that unite us in common around the One Truth. And believe me, when you dig that deep, it is amazing how much great spiritual hearts from the world religions have in common, despite doctrinal differences. After all, each one of us - no matter what our faith tradition - is engaging with and experiencing one, single, supreme, divine mystery. Truth is One! But its forms an manifestations are many, as the Hindu adage goes. What I so admire most about Sikhism, amidst many things, is the lack of doctrine. This makes Sikhi one of the most, if not thee most, universal of religions, the most open, most all-embracing. I believe only in [I]touching the soul [/I]- the outer aspects of religion, the pomp and doctrine and what-not, can look elsewhere. gingerteakaur [SIZE=3]"...The way of truth is one.
