[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 214109, member: 14641"] The last time I looked Sikhism was not against luxury per se, or indeed nice things. I still cannot see the problem, is that a pride thing? For some seva is a 24/7 state, to others it is something they do to rid themselves of guilt, again, to some seva is done for the self, to others, seva is done for the recipient, and yet to others seva is done for God, there is an opportunity to do seva anywhere, listening to a fellow guest who has problems is seva, giving advice to the person on the next seat in the plane is seva, making sure your kids and wife have a good time is seva, Interesting, for some time I have been pondering on who the 'true' me is, after many many years and much thinking and internal debate, I finally found out who the 'true' me is, deep in the bowels of my mind is a room, and that contains the true me, the me, who in the absence of all external forces, would shine through, upon opening the door, I was disappointed but not surprised to find a {censored}ing monkey, maybe your true you is different, but for me, anything other than that is just a show, a {censored}ing monkey dressed as a man, I suppose my argument is that if it takes a connection to bring out who you perceive to be the true you, is it the true you? of course she isn't, and I have no sympathy for you in that regard, she married a normal white man with normal aspirations and normal goals, how would you feel if you had not found Sikhism and she had found Islam, and now insists on wearing a burkha? you would be pretty confused, where has the woman gone that you married, you may think, I am sure she is thinking the same. they are valid concerns given her background and given the shift in your relationship. I have been studying Sikhism for quite a few years now, and I still have not come across a definition of hukam that made any sense to me, in the context you are using it, it sounds like fate, the will of God, a path that had no choice, but that is not what hukam means to me, or else, and I have said this many times, the states of Manmukh and Gurmukh would not exist, Again, the word Hukam, could you define your own meaning of the word Hukam? Sounds like a lot of ritual and mind games in order to get away from who you are and try and be someone else, for me, I would prefer being a {censored}ing monkey trying to understand himself, than a {censored}ing monkey in disguise. this post may sound harsh, but it is not mean't to be, you are as Sikh as any Sikh I have come across, you will change, you will learn, we all do, pleasure to meet you Sardarji.
