[QUOTE="Original, post: 201471, member: 14400"] Mera Pyara Veer Ji Sikhism is our dharam and as such we "believe" without qualification. If you surf around SPN [humble request] and read some of my literature you'll find that I'm advocating a system of belief and not intellectual conversations per se. Please forgive my ignorance, I'm not here to influence or persuade anyone but simply to share the wisdom of my forefathers. It is not about proving or disproving, but simply believing. To experience Nanak's Sikhism you simply surrender to the will of Waheguru. Of course, where interpretation of the verses within SGGSJ presents ambiguity or relative improbability with substance meaning, then yes, invite wider consultation but otherwise, Sikhi is straight forward. Guru Nanak's Nirankar lives beyond time n space and Guru Nanak invites us to experience it ourselves. To do that we must first divorce from empiricism and rationality but rely on intuition and revelation. You made a valid observation in your earlier text when you said part of us is Nanak, plant, animal, etc.. you've captured the essence of the soul [consciousness] world beautifully. What you've said there is that Nanak is eternal albeit in part. And, that is exactly what Sikhism is all about - phases of transformation from one state of being to the next until you merge with the "one" - Ikonkar. I have lot of time for you because your contribution in furthering Nanak's Sikhism is beyond measure. In view of that I'll attend to your humble request. First n foremost, let us thank those who have made it possible for us to share and speak of our forefathers wisdom - Gurbani. Let us accept Waheguru unconditionally, remove the glasses of reason and enjoy the paradise found within the verses of saints, sages, philosophers and Gurus. Bhagat Kabir on page 340 of SGGSJ nips it in the bud by declaring that the world of Nirankar cannot be communicated. Why? Because its beyond time n space and is non-matter. All modes of expression fall short of that paradise, for how can you communicate non-matter? So really, the subject matter comes to an end from an objective view point, but insofar, subjectivity, yes there is an exceptional experience [mystical, religious, sufi, ect..] for the individual's personal spiritual journey. ਰਾਗੁ ਗਉੜੀ ਪੂਰਬੀ ਬਾਵਨ ਅਖਰੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀਉ ਕੀ ੴ ਸਤਿਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ਬਾਵਨ ਅਛਰ ਲੋਕ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਸਭੁ ਕਛੁ ਇਨ ਹੀ ਮਾਹਿ ॥ ਏ ਅਖਰ ਖਿਰਿ ਜਾਹਿਗੇ ਓਇ ਅਖਰ ਇਨ ਮਹਿ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੧॥ {ਪੰਨਾ 340} Further examples of the fourth state of being [consciousness] are as follows: ਰਜ ਗੁਣ ਤਮ ਗੁਣ ਸਤ ਗੁਣ ਕਹੀਐ ਇਹ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਭ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ ਚਉਥੇ ਪਦ ਕਉ ਜੋ ਨਰੁ ਚੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੈ ਤਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਹੀ ਪਰਮ ਪਦੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ p1123 SGGSJ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਪਸਾਰਾ ਸਭ ਵਰਤੈ ਆਕਾਰੀ ॥ [B]ਤੁਰੀਆ[/B] [turiya] ਗੁਣੁ ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਦਰੀ ਪਾਰਿ ਉਤਾਰੀ [p1260]. Mera pyara veer ji - enjoy it and share with family and friends and tell the world of Nanak's wisdom. As for me - I'm a Sikh who enjoys fruitful discussions but not critical or western version of Sikhism. I do however, have an open mind and accept Sikhism Universal in its evolutionary framework, but to preserve beauty n authenticity I honour primal texts when the word was spoken and not written.
