[QUOTE="Rupinder.Singh, post: 99854, member: 8006"] I dont know whether my thoughts fit into the question being asked here. But I still want to express my views on this topic. In my opinion that the very basic approach adopted by most of the human race to realize GOD is wrong. Human race beleives that a person born in Sikh family is sikh, a person born in Muslim family is muslim and a person born in a Christian family is a Christian. And if we dare to have a GOD's view of our whole world it is divided into these religions. When I say divided, I mean to say they are all trying to prove supermacy of one over another. Whereas GOD wanted us to be together like different colored flowers in a same bouquet. Here fits the idea expressed by 'wizesikh' "God has given you not one choice but hundreds and thousands and millions of choices. And on top of that he has given you the choice to pick one you wish." God has blessed us with the choices to be flower of one of those colors. God has blessed us with the ablity to chose the color we want, but as said by 'wizesikh' he has also given us the choice to pick the choice we wish. But we are rather giving no chance to new born individuals to decide at their own to pick, to use their own intellectual to decide which color (religion) they want to follow and why. Other problem with human race is that when they compare their religion to other religions most of them follow the below mentioned approach: when Talking about other religion they say: others follow this ritual, others do this even in these days of scientific realization, others do this.. others do that." When talking about their own religion they say: " we are told to follow the righteous way , we are not allowed to follow rituals, we are told to think rationally" The very point that i wanted to riase is that the very basic method to compare is wrong. "We are comparing what otheres do with what we are told to do" whereas the right comparison can only be drawn if we compare on these terms " what others do and what we actually do" And when we compare on these terms we will easily find that we are comparing apples with bananas..we are comparing what others do as a normal human being to what we will do as a true human being. But question is are we all true human being yet so that we are capable enough to appropriately compare two things? I believe that a true Human being wont find any diffrence among all the religions. We all have to reach that state. God wanted us to be develop our consiousness and intellectual to that level. Now when we say there are two sets of SIKHS (set 1 and set 2) we are basically subdividing our religion furhter (Dear akal_jsingh ji, no ofence please). we are subdividing them as people who are GURmukh and people who are on their way to being Gurmukh. My question to you all is " Is a child born in a Gursikh family, a gursikh from birth or a sikh from birth?" "Does he become gursikh if he/she is baptised at an age of 5" I belive becoming a True Gursikh is a life long process, and it is not tough in any way. It is a path where he/she faces ups and downs of the life and thus develops his/her intellectual to identify the right path in his/her own consciousness. And a 5 yr old who has not seen his/her life yet how can he be a gursikh then? ( here I am talking about an average newborn). Merely dressing him/her like a gursikh is just very worldly. How can be the children of a Gursikh, gursikhs just after they are baptised at a young age, whereas there parents spent thier lives understanding what being true gursikh is and then got baptised. A basic understanding of this fact may be able to help us understand 'Akal_jsingh ji's question" in a better way..If we think on above lines we can easily dissove the line sperating these two sets and rather start looking it as two colors dissolving into each other showing a oneness in its entirty. what a beautiful color it would be. It is a color where one color is by nature attracted towards the color of a gursikh. And now the answer to the question: What I am doing here.. We are all here to develop our consiousness to a level thorugh our life experience to be able to talk to the true GOD, understand his intentions of this world. Where am I stuck.. We are stuck no where.. it is just that we are not moving towards our target.. Is GOD=destination No, GOD is not just at destination. God is everywhere, right from the start till the end of our life..listening to everything, watching our each action, He is just watching what chioce we pick on. Start your journey and you will start realizing him yourself. "oh Disda hai koi shak nahi..sadi dekhan wali akh nahi" [/QUOTE]
