[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 174166, member: 14194"] Occult practices are generally and commonly related to, [LIST] [*]astrology, alchemy, divination, magic, and witchcraft and sorcery [/LIST] SRM unequivocally declares the following, In the following post palaingtha states that Occult practices are recognized in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji [LIST] [*][URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-rehat-maryada/39188-why-cant-sikhs-excommunicate-patit-sikhs-9.html#post174054[/URL] [/LIST] Unfortunately the author shows considerable lack of understanding in how Guru ji use analogies, metaphorics as style to not prove people wrong or create time wasting debates but rather teach the positive alternatives. Guruji try not to put down things or practices people follow but shine light on better spirituality and ways. Gurujis style is that they want the student (all Sikhs) to self learn and then see. In not putting down, the author and many others somehow assume that Guruji actually have vetted such powers or practices. Nothing could be further from the truth in such wrong assumptions contorted by many. Let us take an excerpt as to how palaingtha ji mis-uses and applies missive understanding to somehow deduce that Occultism is recognized in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, In a convoluted way the author seems to suggest that just the mention of such is the proof of their existence, efficacy or acceptance by Guru ji. I believe this is highly dis-respectful and borders on missing the fundamental teachings of Sikhism in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I sincerely wish that people (at least Sikhs) pay heed to some basic approach to studying and learning from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In this age of the Internet it is far too easy to distort, post and deduce and repeat to make something believable. A Guru ji’s Sikh needs to rise above such temptations and really respectfully cherish the gift of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The gift is not words and quoting them willy nilly but understanding and sharing the wisdom behind the words. Prof. Sahib Singh ji gives lot of direction in early parts of his Darpan that could be helpful if paid attention to. What you think!
