[QUOTE="FranglophonePunjabi, post: 188016, member: 19477"] Aisha Ji, words can not describe how thankful I am of you for creating that post. Despite being born into a Punjabi family that calls itself "Sikh", I was never taught anything about the religion and as a result I find myself today trying to learn about my own heritage, culture, history all by myself. Who were my ancestors? What made them believe in Sikhi so strongly that they decided it better to give up their lives than their faith in Guru Ji? How was a tiny minority of Punjabis able to establish an empire stretching from Tibet to Afghanistan? These are all questions I ask myself on a daily basis, and because no one in my family has much Sikh knowledge, I feel like sometimes I am walking around with a blindfold on. Interesting Ikk Khalsa Ji that you posted videos by basicsofsikhi, that has been one of my sources of knowledge since he does everything in English. The one thing I could never bring myself to believe in though was reincarnation. It makes absolutely no sense to me from a scientific or philosophical perspective. I never believed that was what Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught, but because every source I have ever referred to always said that is what Sikhs have to believe in, I did my best to make sense of it, but to no avail. Thank you for mentioning reincarnation in your post Aisha Ji, I was not at all aware that there was another possible way of interpreting those shabads. "Reincarnation" during this life, the way you have explained it, is exactly what I believe in, that without Guru Jis knowledge, we will always be changing between different personalities, our desires will keep changing, so one day we are somebody, tomorrow that person is dead and another one is born. But once we become grounded in Guru Jis teachings, our true self shines through and we are living a truthful life the way the Gurus intended, and the cycle ends because now we are permanently GurMukh. And all this as a non-Sikh yourself, you are a real inspiration to me that I shouldn't let myself coming from a background where everyone is unedcated on Sikhi stop me from seeking out the answers that I want and trying to learn as much about this amazing path as I can. If you, as a Muslim, can become so knowledgable on a religion that you were not born into and is so different from everything you were brought up to believe in, if you can gain this much knowledge on Sikhi all by yourself (because reading your post, it sounds like you know A LOT), then there is no excuse for me not to do it as well! You are a real inspiration to me Aisha Ji, keep up the good work and Ramadan Mubarak :happymunda: [/QUOTE]
