[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 46826, member: 1323"] Hi KDS, On the "Fools Who Wrangle Over Flesh" Essay we did, the motivating factor for us (whether Vege or Meat eater), was mistranslation. All of us were dumbstruck and dumfounded by continual mistranslation of Angs, Tukhs, Shabads, by fanatics from various Sants/ Jatha's trying to push their own narrow Agenda's. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is a deep examination of the spiritual maladies that affect us us human beings. How Kaam, Krodh, Moh, Lobh and Hankaar, can destroy us as human's. How by being slaves to these things we become Animals. It tells us how priviledged we are to be born with conscienceness (that no other species on this planet has), and how we can use that awareness of our existence, to better ourselves, and our fellow human beings. How we must forge the temporal (mind and body), in order to aid us in terms of spirituality. Given all this, what do this misinterpreters think the great Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is........a menu......a cheap menu in a restraunt of what to eat and not to............what bigger insult and a slap in the face to our Ten Guru's is there than that? Other's think it is a means to attack people different from us...........be it homosexuals, blacks, chinese, whites. Other's are even worse, and use it to surpress women............ Our Khalsa Sikh's have become the New Age Brahmin's.........they are only concerned they will be polluted and keep pure....they think that touching certain things and people will pollute them. They are more concerned with bashing Mona's than their own spiritual development. They are more concerened with modes of dress and styles of turban than humankinds welfare. What would our Guru's make of this? I witnessed a classic debate on [url=http://www.sikhiwiki.org]Main Page[/url] with a fanatic editor there called HarjiSingh who was so concerned to maintain his fanatical sant/jatha stance he denied that Halaal and Bismil were forms of Islamic [B]Ritualistic[/B] Islamic slaughter.....instead he stated they just mean kill? How do you deal with people like this? Beat them up? Shun them? No.......carry on writing articles and books to counter their ignorance. Speak to the youth who have turned away from Bani. It does not matter their beard is trimmed......it does not matter they are monay......it does not matter they are female......it does not matter they are not punjabi......it does not matter they can't read or write Punjab.....or eat meat or not.......get them interested in Sikh History...........tell them that fanatics don't rule Sikhism........give them a chance to deleop interest........they may adopt the Kakkars...they may not...........that is up to them!!!! It is time for the vast majority of easy going and moderate Sikhs to rise and silence the fanatics..... Best Wishes....and sorry for the ranting... [/QUOTE]
