[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 148211, member: 2709"] Sinner Singh Ji, yes, it should be the other way around, however, if someone approaches our beautiful Guru and starts reading, and following, i will be a long time before they are able to discern the wisdom to implement the kind of [B]practical life-style[/B] the SRM deals with. Especially if you come from another religious upbringing or a society where religion/ritual governs most things. In fact (and I see this trend increasing online) there are people who say they follow Gurbani ONLY and they cut their hair, they eat whatever they want (or should I say, the don't eat certain things!), they wear whatever they want, because this is the wisdom they have discerned so far from reading Gurbani. And I have at times held a similar mindset. My belief is that Gurbani is a priceless spiritual jewel which can take your soul to unimaginable heights and bring you darshan of Waheguru all around... but it also takes time to read, understand and assimilate it's poetry. The SRM gives you a head start as to your life-style. As you grow as a Sikh, the SRM should come more into context. I have been very tempted in the last few years to say "well, Gurbani says I just have to get up at amrit vela and contemplate Waheguru, then try to remember It all through my day. It doesn't say to get up at 3.30am and recite x bania. Gurbani doesn't seem fussed with what I eat, doesn't seem fussed if I cut my hair, doesn't tell me how to conduct a marriage ceremony... so I'll just do whatever I want and say that Gurbani is my only guide and dispense with all this discipline rubbish". Obviously there's more to it than that and it is egotistical of me to think I'm 26, have read a few hundred pages of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji wahmunda and think I know everything to be a Sikh. It will take me probably the rest of my life (if not longer!) to appreciate the message which took ten human Gurus and 1429/30 pages of Gurbani to illustrate!! So I'm grateful that some people more learned than me excercised some degree of wisdom and put together what appears to me to be a perfectly functional manual of Sikh practicality to guide me while I learn. The SRM is a bit like a mud-map while I try to paddle my little raft through the world-ocean, using the awesomely brilliant stars of Gurbani as my precise navigation. There are millions of stars and it'll take me a while to learn to follow them to my destination. [/QUOTE]
