[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 161474, member: 16886"] Amarjit Singh ji The only religion is love and respect for all. I agree with this comment and used to even live by it one time. As I was growing up I was quite confused with my mixture of religious exposure. Eventually I decided to just love and respect all things that are and from the creator. I started to believe that man made religions were a hindrance on a path I felt I could take as a sole person. However, we don't live in the times of Adam, when all that is around us is nature with fruits and veg in one huge garden for survival along with the company of creatures. If we were in those times, YES, I would be very successful without a belief in any faith. (Not discussing the authenticity of Adam and Eve- this is just an explanation example) But, times have changed and we have and keep moving on. We need to work, help, survive, plan ....etc...and in doing this living we will interact with situations and others. These obstacles, interactions, clarifactions etc...etc.. that we encounter all need addressing, then where do we go for answers and help?? At this point, I always realise how lucky I am that a religion called Sikhism was there for me. I say lucky, because that is honestly how I feel. The sikhism faith is there for me, waiting until I embrace it to the fullest extent. I can live the 'way of the khalsa' right now, but I am not ready to be in the full image as yet. _Khalsa mera roop hai khaas'_ although soon, I hope to be in the physical Image that Guru Gobind Singh Ji instructed. Amarjit ji, I get confused a little when you start quoting other religous sources especially the gita. When clearly many people confuse this with sikhi, I think its wiser to not encourage these confused people further but instead, to give them awareness. Quoting the bible, jesus, Torah..etc... etc is all fine, as there are no confusing adherents with sikhi as far as I know. I mean, I actually interact with lots of white folk, and on many occasions I quote bible references in conversation. This is just the way that I was raised within the white community. To me it is just for communicating in every day life. But, I never feel the urge or think it is appropriate to do that on this Sikh philosophy forum, especially as many young youths are on here for learning and guidance. To confuse the youth in thinking that gita etc.. is also a required knowledge when being/living as a sikh is very very misleading. We should be careful with any false images we portray. During my youth, I still remember very clearly how easily I got confused and mislead. I'm not throwing a personal attack by any means, but I'm trying to advise you that the learning youth don't have much time and we don't want to mislead them in thinking that besides the Guru Granth Sahib, they should have knowledge of gita,bible, torah etc..etc. ALL they need to learn and start mastering Primarily is JUST the Guru Granth Sahib Only, if they have time after they are free to learn other faiths for comparison and contrasting. That is absolutely fine and harmless. But we have to be careful with sources, information..etc.. that we present to ensure that they don't cause any harm to sikhism. I know from experiences encountered with other members on here that sikhi has encountered plenty of harm and dilution already. The members that have been exposed to the harmful results need correct and sensitive guidance. Please, lets all act with more care. Sat kartar Lucky Singh [/QUOTE]
