[QUOTE="Original, post: 214159, member: 14400"] Ester Ji - Good morning, Thank you for the warm reciprocity. I shall pick up from where I left [post #2], but first a few words on[B] "habits".[/B] Does god care what you eat, who you bed and where you live ? No ! But you do don't you ? That's because part of you is spiritual and it's that spiritual part that's waking up to moralising trends and habits. As an intelligent human being you question the rights n wrongs of your everyday doings don't you ? All humans do, you're not alone. Well, here's [below] how Sikhism [wider belief] views slaughter of animals for human consumption. Sikhism believes that all Life Is One Family [note: the operative word is belief, meaning, an ideology]. Humankind and its destiny must deal with the universe of which it is a part, a mere unit. To understand the unit [you] the whole [universe] must also be understood because you are an integral part that makes up the whole. The spirit that is within you is also within all creatures great n small. Do you want to be killed ? No ! Then why should animals be killed ? There is no moral justification [note, moral and not logical or ecological]. Spirit is God's essence, an all-pervading vital energy that takes up innumerable forms. Every part of creation, whether it'd be a rock, an electron, a galaxy of stars, a cloud formed from dust or a human mind, has an intimate connection with a higher being [satnam, ultimate reality, UR] through the wave of spirit that enlivens and energies each particle of existence. If you [Ester] accept this view, then the spiritual you will begin to connect with the spirit [B]Satnam [UR]. [/B] Doesn't that dovetails neatly with where I left off the other day when we were talking about perceived reality [[B]PR[/B]] and ultimate reality [[B]UR[/B]] ? I think it does, I'll continue. Guru Nanak [founder n father of Sikh way of Life] believed that the unreal [[B]PR[/B]] has no existence and the real [[B]UR[/B]] never ceases to be; the reality of both of theses states of [B]Being[/B] was thus perceived by the seers of [B]Truth[/B] [Satnam]. And since this Satnam has a metaphysical existence, one must naturally use a non-physical means of traveling to theses metaphysical regions. Guru Nanak recommended meditation [nam simran], a non-physical mechanicism to traverse to these metaphysical regions. This is a practice that helps develop the spiritual faculties that are intrinsic to one's consciousness to enable connection with Satnam [anhad shabad, page 124 SGGSJ]. An example of such wonderous excursion is evidenced in verses 34 to 37 of Japji Sahib on pages 7 n 8 of SGGSJ. These refined planes [soul's planes] of existence are not an idea, or some abstract theoretical thinking.
