[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 180205, member: 14641"] Infiniteji excellent post, some good questions. I could not agree with you more Some would agree with you, I, however see no point in chanting, whether its the name of God, or Korky the cat. I would urge you to keep asking questions, in my opinion there is no wisdom to be gained in chanting, just a sore throat. Gyaniji, here on this forum, often talks about the litmus test of Sikhism, I like this expression, it means if it is contradictory, or it does not make sense, then ask yourself does it tick all the boxes that you hold dear, does it reflect your understanding of Sikhi. For the record, I agree with your stance fully, my relationship with Creator is between me and Creator, no one else. A lot of Sikhs do follow living Gurus, or pay homage to living Babas and Sants, that is entirely up to them, but I find this fails my own litmust test, there is only one Guru. I also find the reward/fear system so common to other religions missing from Sikhism, although there will always be those that are quick to point out that every misfortune or problem is because God is angry and is punishing you, I find this complete rubbish, God could not care less what you do, it is Creation that may punish or reward you, kick a dog, it bites you, stroke it, it licks you, its quite simple, yet, we have people who inist that a dog has bitten you because 300 years ago, you ate his ancestor. Guilt is no way to find Creator, neither is fear, nor reward, it lies in understanding, and I if I may add, you seem have a considerable amount of it. Actually the command is against a single beverage, rather than intoxication, a single joint, rather than being stoned, and a single wife, rather than a few mistresses. We are not supposed to drink, period. If you do drink, and I do, then that is your business and between you and Creator. I personally resent being told about my odd beer by those that commit much greater transgressions through attitude and treatment of others, but at the end of the day it is yourself you answer to. Agreed, people focus more on the symbols than the understanding. The reason is it is easier to have set rituals than actually understand. The articles of faith are a uniform, they no more make a Sikh than three stars on a monkey makes it a general, and yes, you are correct in your observations. Welcome to SPN, I like to think of us as practical, pragmatic Sikhs, with the minumum of rhetoric, and the ability to be open minded and inclusive. :mundahug: [/QUOTE]
