[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 188743, member: 138"] Akasha ji, Guru Fateh. Sikhi is a learning process where disagreements happen all the times. This is the reason we are called Sikhs, and as Sikhs, we learn, unlearn and relearn all the times. I am sure it has happened in your life as in mine and in many others’ who call themselves Sikhs. We, including yourself will keep on having disagreements and you may even have some disagreements with the people in your own Gurdwara Sangat as you grow spiritually in your Sikhi journey which is natural and rather a must. I know I have repeated the same many a times before but this is part of my Nitnem of awareness so I do not become a mere parrot but a pragmatic person with Gurmat. Guru Gobind Singh who bestowed Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to us as our last Guru could have given us the interpretation on a platter but the fact is that he did not. If he had, then we would not be having this discussion today. In my opinion and I may be wrong, the reason he did not do that is for us to discover Gurbani by ourselves with time. As Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a living Guru, its beauty is that its meaning changes with time. It has happened to me several times, hence I often use the word learning, unlearning and relearning. You write: Akasha ji, I am a bit confused and appalled at the same time as you have claimed/accused many of the members of this family of which you are part of as Atheists because there is a disagreement amongst us which as mentioned before is part of the Sikhi journey. What made you come to the decision about who believes in spiritualty and who does not? Neither yourself, myself nor any other will be ever able to find that out because only Ik Ong Kaar knows which milestone each of us is at. So, this is a false premise on your part. You say: Now, let’s move back a bit and check the facts out. 1. No one here has ever accused you of not being a Sikh. 2. You have accused many Sikhs of being Atheists. 3. The members on this site have always been encouraging to your taking the Sikhi path and always made you feel member of this one global family. 4. Any time you had questions about Sikhi, they were responded to in the best possible manner with the knowledge the members have. 5. When you decided to take Khandei de Pahul, I was the first one to ask you to think about it but as I came to know that you had already made up your mind, I and many others admired your determination and encouraged you to do so. 6. We are all excited about you for taking this “plunge”. 7. We even felt very happy when you put your Keski on and shared some tips with you. 1. Which Atheist site as you accused SPN of would do that? 2. How did you come to the conclusion that this site is managed by the ‘Sikh Missionary’, your words? 3. What made you claim that they (we in your implication) are Atheists? Lastly, SPN is a Sikh site and the fastest growing one in this cyber world. If SPN were an Atheist site, then it would not happen in this manner. This is the only site that allows open dialogues, non-moderation of the posts before they are posted unlike other Sikh Sites. This is the only site that gives the freedom of speech to all. SPN is the least moderated Sikh site in the cyber world , the way it should be because Sikhi encourages the freedom of expression how opposite/bizarre they may be to some. You are the proof of that. We will be all here for you as part of one family in all aspects of life. This is the way this site has been built up, as one large global family and like in all families, disagreements are inevitable. And in this special family they are rather welcome so a dialogue, a conversation can take place rather than food fights. I want to wish you all the best in your Sikhi journey and please be prepared for more disagreements in our understanding of Gurbani because that is the way it is. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
