[QUOTE="Admin, post: 116909, member: 1"] [B][FONT=Verdana] Gurfateh! There is no question of Trusting anybody here. Trust comes into picture where we ourselves have lost the ability to comprehend what is wrong & what is right! Not to question or blindly believing is unbecoming of a Sikh, the seeker, the learner. Prof Darshan, to his credit, confesses that he had been parrot feeding/reading Gurbani all his life and now when he has made efforts to understand the real meanings of these scriptures that he has raised his voice. It is our Ego that prevents us from acknowledging the fact that we have been parrot fed all our lives reading or understanding Gurbani without ever contemplating on the real meanings. We, very conveniently blame Prof Darshan for creating doubts in the minds of Sikh Panth? But i fail to understand: How someone can create doubts? How is it possible? Doubts can only be created in the mind of an illiterate person, who has to rely on what is being fed in his mind by the Sants and Babas... Have we, ourselves, lost the ability to read, write and comprehend what is being presented to us as words of The Guru? I am afraid it is not the Akal Takh Jathedars and for that matter Prof Darshan who have cast doubts in the mind of The Sikh Panth. It is The Sikh Panth, who has allowed these doubts to crept in due to our sheer ignorance and hypocrisy. Education of Sikh Clergy, Sikh Masses is the only solution. Education eliminates doubts & ignorance and then we don't have to trust just about any third party like a Sant or a Baba. How can we believe that what the every other so called Sant or Baba is telling is truth. Only blind faith, nothing more. How do you identify who is a Sant or a Baba? A Sant or a Baba resides in every Sikh itself, need is to take out that Sant residing with us. A Sikh has a very personal relation with his/her Guru! There can be no mediators or third parties to this relation! It is astonishing to realize that it could be possible to cast doubts in such a young philosophy called Sikhi, where we have the original, unadulterated Shabad Guru to comprehend and seek guidance. A Blind Faith based on our Trust/Faith is simply not Sikhi! A Sikh is the learner, the seeker. A learner, who can not evolve in his thought process can not be a Sikh or the Khalsa. Respected Arshi ji, You recently shared with us your personal understanding on [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/spiritual-articles/28344-the-five-realms.html"]The Five Realms[/URL] as described in Jap ji Sahib ji. Now say, after a few years, you happen to realize and comprehend an entirely different perspective on the same topic? Would you not like to share that the evolution of your thought process with us? Only your ego would prevent you from sharing that new thought process or you would be afraid of the backlash you would receive from fellow Sangat for changing your views on the same subject. [/FONT][/B][B][FONT=Verdana] But would it be prudent not to share your evolution of understanding at[/FONT][/B] [B][FONT=Verdana]all just because that would put so called doubt in the mind of the reader.
