[QUOTE="carolineislands, post: 73010, member: 5695"] I am reading a book about the life of Guru Nanak. It is just a short book and probably not highly esteemed by the purists, but it has been an inspiration to me and has brought more things to my awareness that confirm the fact that Guru Nanak brought a message that I can follow with no cognitive dissonance. After I read this one, I will delve into deeper studies but I wanted to read a little on each Guru, while reading the daily Hukamnama and as much SGGS as I can. I am also reading a book called "The Name of My Beloved, Verses of the Sikh Gurus" translated by Nikky Guninder Kaur and reccommended by Khushwant Singh. At any rate, what I have read so far, along with info about Guru Nanak on the internet gave me the impressions that Guru Nanak's wife was not happy with the idea of him leaving to help others but that she accepted it and was supportive of him after she understood the necessity and importance of his work. Of course, somebody will try to make this out to be something negative, at the same time, conveniently glossing over the fact that generations of men have been absent from their families because of duties of their "profession" such as soldiers, merchants, etc... It's pretty pitiful when the only thing bad you can think of to say about someone is that his wife didn't really want him to go out on his duty until they talked about it. And then to go on and write an article! Talk about grasping at straws!!! What I like about the teachers I respect, like Guru Nanak, Guru Gobind Singh, Jesus, etc... is that whenever you talk about them you don't have to preface your discussion with a disclaimer such as, "Take into consideration that child marriage was the custom at the time..." I like the fact that we can just say, "Guru Nanak..." and not have to make excuses for him in any way. That's not true of all paths. And perhaps some are trying to make it untrue of others in order to justify their own. Just a thought. Admitedly, I am no scholar -- not in Sikhi anyhow. Joy to all today! [/QUOTE]
