[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 61557, member: 4990"] You preach to others to have faith, but you do not practice what you preach. -----Guru Arjan, Raag Ramkali, AGGS, Page, 887-18 This implies the creation of firm personal boundaries and will give you the opportunity to know your own mind, beliefs and values. If we can get past various fundamentalist attitudes about the spiritual life, such as attachment to rituals, religious symbols, fixed interpretations of the hymns of AGGS, and a community in which individual thinking is not prized, then many different ways of being spiritual come into view. The Akal Purkh ordained (Hukam) to lead an honest, truthful life of a humble and better human being as projected by Guru Ramdas in Raag Bhairo: The doing of the pious deeds is the sublime rosary. Chant on the beads within your heart, and it shall go along with you. -----Guru Ramdas, Raag Bhario, AGGS, Page, 1134-9 Sikhism is about Truth and Sikhism is Truth. That is how Guru Nanak defined God. It was Truth before time is true now and will be. Truth is a comprehensive term that in all of its nuances implies accuracy and honesty. It is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence. The study of Truth is part of philosophical and epistemology. Talking about Truth is a routine but to live it is a Herculean task. The basic foundation of Sikhism lies in rigorous Honesty, which is generally lacking in the Sikhs of present times. It tells us that lying, cheating, and even a little bit of not giving the whole information, means that one is playing games of mind with oneself. It means this wishful religion is purely of promise and not of proof and performance but is biased and selfish. Truth is bitter and when told creates unwanted consequences. Truthful living is lived only with the Grace of the Lord. When the True Lord attached one to the Truth then only one becomes the true trader of the Truth. I have loaded the commodity of Truth; and it has reached the Lord, the Treasurer. -----Kabir, Raag Kedara, AGGS, Page, 1123-9 Plenty of people wish to become devout but no one wishes to be humble and truthful. It is easy to make a statement but to live it is difficult. Truth and rigorous honesty are the only tonics to invigorate the mind towards right thought. Truth is discovered, recognized and then lived and realized by mind. Truth is the only source of all Cosmic and mundane riches. Truth is its own reward. It builds him, who builds on it. A well-trained mind, trained to Truth concentrated on living and realizing is the need of every individual. Kabir, the mortal knows every thing, and knowing, he still makes mistakes; what good is a lamp in one’s hand, if he falls in to well? -----Kabir Sloke, 216, AGGS, Page, 1376-4 Torah declares “thou shall not bear false witness.” ----Exodus 20:16 Bible underscores it; “rid yourself of all malice and deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind” ----1 Peter 2:1 Sikhism declares that every one is equal and there are no exceptions about truth as Guru Nanak expresses in Sri Raag: There are so many entanglements for the soul. Only as Gurmukh do we find the Gate of Liberation. Truth is above all and above Truth is Truthful conduct. Call everyone exalted; no one seems lowly. -----Guru Nanak, Raag Sri, AGGS, Page, 62-11 Bhai Gurdas writes that when Guru Nanak was asked which religion is better? “Puchan Foal Ktaab Noon Hindu Vaddaa Kay Musalmano-ee, Baba Akhay Haajee-aa Subh Amlaa Baajhoh Dono Ro-ee” They asked Baba Nanak to open and search in his book whether Hindu is great or the Muslim. Baba replied to the pilgrim HAJIS, that with out good moral deeds both will have to weep and wail. ---Bhai Gurdas, Vaar 1, Pauri, 33 Any faith which lies destroys the Truth, which in turn diminishes the trust being a character defect. This eventually leads to the collapse of faith or society by undermining ourselves. (Source: [url=http://eternalgurbani.blogspot.com]Eternal Gurbani[/url]) [/QUOTE]
