[QUOTE="Original, post: 211267, member: 14400"] ..yes, it has always existed and still does! Nanak says, "..ad sach, jugad sach, habi sach, Nanak hosi vi sach [SGGSJ, 1]. Meaning, truth was in the beginning, truth was in every age, the same truth is here today and the same truth will always be. In other words, eternity. The question is, finding it, accepting it and practicing it. If you could do that, guess what you'll have ? Satyug ! and, it is to that end SIKH, an ideal human being. Read up Thomas More's "Utophia" to get an idea of the ideal society. Such a state is not all fictional, there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary and suggestive that the "Indus Valley Civilisation" [pre Aryan invasion, meaning, free from western contamination] met all the conditions to have found such a social organisation where there was, abundance, freedom and peace. From a religious perspective, given sat [truth] is eternal and can be had at anytime the essential toolkit required is "belief n practice". And, yes, that is exactly what Sikhi is, a society within a society where there is abundance, freedom and peace, only if you believe n practice. Intellectual discussions could be had until the cows come home. All religions are moralising [meaning, do good, eat good, sleep good n experience good], they all talk of the one truth [God], Nanak goes beyond; he says, "don't talk about it, live it - let me show you how ". Hence, Khalsa ! ...maybe, maybe not ! I'm a Guru's Sikh and accept His Will and know that the land of the five-alive is particular and unique. And that justice and decency are not carried in books on board western institutions, but in the hearts of humans, and it is for that reason the admiralty is always sought to anoint its Sikhs from the ranks of individuals that have developed their conscience and are able to regulate it harmoniously, demonstrating spiritual wisdom and intellectual supremacy. Patriarchy and misogyny are social concepts of the western civilisations, not to say, they are entirely regional, but closer examination will reveal otherwise. Note: I'm not intimating gender divisions nor am I advocating male supremacy, I'm talking about truth [satnam]. Accept the world as it is and move on to realise the "truth" within and not without. The battle is not with the world and how unjust everything is, the battle is with the self in accepting, "OMG, how true, what next" and let the power of Waheguru show you the world within. ....agree wholly solely, hence, said guru ji, 'it is not the strongest, nor the intelligent but the one most responsive to accept change, accept therefore O foolish manmukh the way of the gurmukh'. Much obliged - bhul chuk maff ! [/QUOTE]
