The original link posted in 2005 no longer works. I have attached the article in pdf format as written by Professor Devinder Singh Chahal. See the attachment.

Professor Chahal's articles are nice to read, as those are with deep details and with analytical study from different resources.

SP ji, I see letters such as ‘Defining a Sikh’ ... what are those letters such as ’ (TM=trade-mark?). I am not sure, if some editing about this letter should be done, so that Professor's article sanctity remains intact.

Regards.

Defining a Sikh

Defining a Sikh..

That's a difficult task as definition leads to the destination- how a person has become a sikh- where becoming a sikh is always a work in progress.

One can define a 'Sikh' by his Bana but rehat can not be defined. As Sikhi is a journey only IK ONG KAAR knows which milestone each of us is at.

A sikh does not need any definition except being a SIKH, A SEEKER, A LEARNER. The definition isfor the outsiders who do not know what Sikhi is about.

Hence, It is possible to define SIKHI but not a SIKH.

Peace & Love

Tejwant

Tejwant Ji
I understand from your point that it is impossible to define a Sikh
but could you explain who is a Sikh as my Jewish friend always ask me this question, so how can I explain this to her as she visits Gurdwara with me for Simran in the early hours of the day
