[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 178931, member: 138"] Findingmyway ji, Guru Fateh. First and foremost I want to thank you for this endeavour and your name proves how you are leading us to the intricacies of the beautiful poetry which tells the story- A dramatic play being performed on the stage of life. Guru Nanak was a student as we all know. He never called himself Guru but he taught the Sidhs and all the rest of us through questioning in order to learn the answers, or for the Sidhs to find the answers through the questions of Guru Nanak. In my opinion, Sidh Gosht is a wonderful debate among the status quo thought process of the Sidhs-Hindus vs the pragmatic way of life of Guru Nanak. The former immersed in me-ism feeling high and mighty, not giving a hoot to the wombs who borne them, breast fed them, sheltered them till they ran away, too afraid and insecure of the confrontations of everyday toils; where as the latter rising from the cesspool of the real world unblemished offering a helping hand to the helpless, down trodden, outcast of the society. Sidh Gosht offers us the true glimpse of how to cope with what life offers us rather than hanging oneself upside down for hours hoping to touch the skies,one day. There is a unique specie in the Amazons that spends its whole life hanging upside down. It is called bicho-preguiça in Portuguese, which literally means - the lazy animal. If one wants to use this to a human, one can say he/she is a sloth (the one with spiritual apathy and inactivity). It is also known as one of the seven deadly sins in the Christian moral tradition. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), the Medieval theologian said, Sloth is "sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good... [it] is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds." More than two centuries later, Guru Nanak showed these Sidhs what they really were ala Aquinas. He called them bloody Sloths, running away from the earthquakes of life. Guru Nanak made them realise that the tremours within can not be stilled by any postures, but only by good deeds. It is also interesting to notice how good ideas sprout like wild flowers in different times and places but with the same perfume to offer to the ones who want to envelop themselves in their fragrance. I commend you for this wonderful and courageous effort. Let's continue this inner renewal by finding our way and you leading us towards that. With your effort and help, we will stop being Bichos-preguiças. Thanks & regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
