[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 188291, member: 138"] There seems to be a lot of rhetoric. The only thing missing is substance in my opinion. Akiva ji writes: What is meaningless Langar in your opinion? Is serving 70,000 meals a day at Darbar Sahib 24/7 meaningless? If yes, in what way? And how about thousands of Langars served everyday all around the world? What is Turban Pride movement of the Akaal Purkh Ki Fauj? Please explain it and why should it be banned if there is such a movement? What do you understand by the significance of turban as being a non-Sikh? Lastly, what does that have to do with the topic being discussed? Sikhi is based on the concept of Miri/Piri, the balancing act between the temporal and the spiritual what I call- The Gurmat Fulcrum. Hence your above comment has nothing to do with Sikhi. Please elaborate what you mean by Simran/Meditation and what is meaningful fasting? Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru is the tool box which leads us to the ways of truthful living. Please supply us with documentation with peer review about your above claim. If it is religious then, the "fruit/end" to the means of religious fasting should be the same to all the people belonging to the religion, otherwise the religion itself becomes meaningless. It is nothing but fake humility and false pride laced with me-ism. What kind of tool? What is the purpose of this tool? Does this kind of fasting feed the hungry or chip in the society in any other manner or is it just self serving exercise? Agreed but we are talking about religious fasting. Let's stick to the topic. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but that is the whole idea behind socially/religiously fasting. Please explain the specific reason and goal----and aware of that reason from the religious/spiritual point of view. Can you please elaborate it? What kind of "honesty" about the reason of fasting one requires? What good does this bring to one or to others? After all any religion is supposed to help others. What is the end objective/goal of the above? How can keeping yourself hungry for a day or two is able to fill the tummies that have been empty for a long time? Please supply with some documentation as far as the original weight, blood sugar level and other data to back your claim. What is there to learn or grow in it? Or is it mere a rhetorical statement if not backed by some facts? Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
