[QUOTE="davinderdhanjal, post: 137664, member: 13600"] [b]Re: O Khotey-aa! ,Which include Khushwant Singh[/b] Dear SPNADMIN, Two points to clear. First [COLOR=DarkRed]"(v) the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru, [B]and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion,[/B] is a Sikh.[/COLOR]" The rule or statement, I believe should be applied to 'Singhs' not Sikhs. But both are part and parcel of the community or family that we are so proud of, their contributions to humanity, Punjab, India and world. Guru Nanak, correct me if I am wrong, did not produce any Maryadas which involved baptism? His rules are simple and if followed would make us saints compared to most granthis and politicians of today. His followers are larger in number than Singhs of Guru Gobind Singh - they are possibly not as militant as Singhs but we cant all be millitant - some may want to tackel issues like Guru Nanak did - that is not to say that we do not need Singhs. (I explain the Sikh family likening it to a tree below. Singhs are Sikhs and Much More) I consider this type of society (Sikhs and Singhs) as a democratic voice that will offer alternative approaches to problems - keeping in mind Guru Nanak's basic teachings of helping each other and not hurting people we can come up with solutions far superior than a single minded 'macho' mentality. So my point here is - we should not have word 'baptism' when Sikhs are involved and where a kirtan involving 'millitant action' is required I would think it should be carried out by a Singh to motivate the necesary element required in the Sikh/Singh community. I do also understand that some undesireable elements can creep into both catagoris but if the LEADERS were worth their salt they would put in place certain filters. Second point " Muslims, Hindus, Unitarians, Methodists, etc., but for exceptional cases here and there, did not carry our burden -- and we are still carrying it." I have not understood this statement at all - so what I might say may be totally different from what it intended. Why should anyone else carry our burden? We should consider our community (Sikhs and Singhs) as a large tree. It needs roots, trunk, bark, branches, leaves, flowers and fruit. The community has to provide all these needs of the religion/community. As a family one does not force the childern to do what they do not want to do we guide them with love and affection and as they grow up as masters of their fields - they may stand together with parents with values complimenting parents' and additional values because they have different 'tools' to solve problems and lead fruitful lives. Leaders of the community MUST sift out what is good about people around them and make use of their abilities/talents to better the society as a whole. A forced workforce will not produce an output as good as those who do things by encouragement - simple example of Soviet Union and USA is explanatory. Make things simpler and not difficult if you want to motivate masses! [/QUOTE]
