[QUOTE="Original, post: 203246, member: 14400"] [COLOR=#0000ff]Dear Ishna Ji Forgive me for the presentation, I get stuck with posting what I write, might need bailing out here n there - sorry ![/COLOR] Is it a problem for Sikhi to have denominations within the body of itself? [COLOR=#0000ff]...is there a difference between a shadow and the object that's casting the shadow ?...again, as a philosopher you want to be careful with the truth [satnam], for, on the one hand you've got "change" and on the other "permanence" - what and how much should be subjected in each case is what you will decide, bearing in mind of course, philosophers are trustees and not beneficiaries, that is to say, Gur Ghar trusted us with something to keep intact, but at the same time gave us the freedom to attend to the "necessary" re-evaluations in line with evolutionary dictates for the comfort of the beneficiaries [humans].
