[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 114593, member: 138"] Seeker3k ji, Guru Fateh. Thanks for the post.Please bear with me because your posts have aroused lots of interesting questions in my mind and I am sure I am going to learn a lot from your wisdom. My post: [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]"Do you mean that Sikhi does not let one seek the truth? Why not and what suggestions would you have for a person to seek the truth and share its modus operandi with us, if you do not mind?[/FONT][/COLOR]" Your response: Can you please elaborate what you mean by the above? Pardon my ignorance but it is a bit confusing for me to grasp what you are trying to say. First of all, for me Sikhi is not a religion but a pragmatic way of life and as you must know that Sikh only means one thing- a student, a seeker, a learner. I have no idea which Bhai ji you are talking about. I have questioned all kinds of Bhai jis, Kirtan walas, Kathavachaks and have interacted with them for a very long time and have happened to learn a lot from this experience. Sikhi is based on questioning. It may depend how the questions are asked, perhaps. So, I would like you to give me a particular instance in your life which made you upset when you asked the questions to Bhai Sahib. We can all learn from that. I agree with you that Sachkhand is found within but that goes for all of us. [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]My post: "Who claims Guru Nanak to be God? Please share with us. Has anyone in this thread did that?[/FONT][/COLOR]" [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] Your response: [/FONT][/COLOR]It is you who claimed the above, so it is your duty to show it and share your own opinion regarding this. I hope you would do that. [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]My post: "What does the word Guru mean for you?[/FONT][/COLOR]" Your response: Yes, the word GURU was used long before Guru Nanak's time. It means a teacher or a learning tool. Seeker ji, please share with us if you have learnt any thing from the books that were part of your school studies. Do you learn anything from watching the nature that one gets awestruck with? Have you learnt anything through any other way besides a person as a Guru? Please share with us. We can all learn from you. As you claim above that Guru has to be a living Guru, can you please share with us who your living Guru is. Please forgive me for my ignorance once again as I am still learning things in life. Can you please elaborate what you are trying to say above for my better understanding because I do not want to misunderstand what you are trying to convey? [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] My post: "And that vision is to get rid of Me-ism. That is the reason in my opinion they did not care about names, titles, their autobiographies which they would have easily written if they desired so.[/FONT][/COLOR]" Pardon my ignorance but what is that to do with my post? Can you please elaborate it for me? [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]My post: "I am glad that you are following the path of Guru Nanak. We are all told to emulate our Gurus rather than putting them on some pedestal and hence creating a distance. Our Gurus were our mates. They spoke to the world on our behalf[/FONT][/COLOR]." Your response: Once again I do not understand what you are trying to say in your post above[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana].[/FONT][/COLOR] Please elaborate with examples. As you mentioned above that you believe in a living Guru and hopefully your will share his/her name with us and share with us what you have learnt from him/her so far. Let us say for the sake of the argument that if your living Guru dies, then you unlearn everything that he/she taught you when he/she was alive? Can you shed some light on this thought process of yours? [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] My post: "Pardon my ignorance but I am a bit confused with your above claim. Who is hurting and who is angry at you and why? Has someone stoned you too? Who called you kurahia, lost person and for what reasons?[/FONT][/COLOR]" Your response: It seems that you are presuming too much and prejudging me without any reasons. Does your living Guru teach you to prejudge others without any basis? Show me where in my post have I expressed my anger towards you? What made you jump to this conclusion? I do not find any reasons to be angry at you, hence I am interacting with you so I can learn the truth from a fellow Sikh. And No, you are wrong, Our Gurus have taught us that truth never hurts but it enlightens us and acts like a balm on our internal and sometimes self created wounds. No, I have no reason to get angry with you but as a Sikh, I can only learn by asking questions. So, please share with us who you living Guru is and what you have learnt from him/her. [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]I would love to have all the information I have asked you in details so I can learn from you. So, please do not hesitate to respond in an elaborate manner for all of my queries. As I said before, I hope to learn a lot from you. Thanks & Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
