[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 71694, member: 35"] Jasleen ji Your question is a good one. Here is my reaction. Forum members should feel free to expound or not expound. They should feel free to read and think. Or not think but comtemplate if that is what they want to do. When a thread is in the Gurmat Vichaar part of the forum, that has a special meaning. Gurmat Vichaar (understanding of the Guru's wisdom) is not a matter of personal opinion or even found in a casual discussion of opposing points of view from secular sources. Of course there will be those who disagree with my statement as there always are. That is fine too. Gurmat Vichaar usually takes on the meaning in this paragraph which I found on [url=http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Gurmat]Gurmat - SikhiWiki, free Sikh encyclopedia.[/url] [I][SIZE=1] The 'guru' in gur-mat means the Ten Gurus of the [URL="http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Sikh"]Sikh[/URL] faith as well as gur-bani, i.e. their inspired utterances recorded in the [URL="http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Guru_Granth_Sahib"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL].
