[QUOTE="bulleshah, post: 25067, member: 2717"] [B]Balbir Singh,[/B] Buddha never was a Sikh. Does it mean he was a fool or any less enlightened than Nanak. And your argument that Sikhi has enlightened the Sikh is rather flawed. And what is enlightenment? The [I][B]Brahman[/B][/I] gets up every morning, takes a bath in the river or a pond and recites the Gayatri or some other mantra he has [U]parroted[/U] and spends all his life doing that. The [I][B]Granthi[/B][/I] gets up every morning, takes a bath and recites ek-om-kar-sat-nam-... or some other mantra he has parroted and spends all his life doing that. But the Brahmin is a fool and the Granthi is an Enlightened Genius. C,mon. Beside how can you be so sure that Sikhi started with Nanak. Kabir, Namdev, Tirlochan etc...preceded him, didn't they? The word [I]Sikh[/I] itself is derived from the sanskrit word [I]Siksha[/I] and means a seeker of knowlegde. And besides whatever the Guru-Granth-Ji says was said before.
