[QUOTE="Kanwaljit.Singh, post: 144840, member: 14616"] Dear Agnostic Seeker3k, First of all, you are poking questions only to confuse people and maybe stop from stuff they have been practicing. If you wish to not have a turban and proclaim yourself a Sikh, go ahead. Let me tell you, things in Guru's Sikhi are deep and meaningful such that anyone trying to look from outside or surface, cannot even get iota of it. There are hundreds of thousands of Guru's Sikhs who wear turbans (including bibiyaan who are rediscovering it) and they never question it. For they know the reasons. THEY PRACTICE AND THEY KNOW THE REASON. So making you understand would be like telling you 64 attacks with Sri Sahib while you may even not have held a Kirpan in your hand. And yes, those 64 attacks are not described in Guru Granth Sahib. Yet they are preserved and are as much part of our Sikh education as 5 Kakkaar. When you brought up the stuff about removing shoes, I searched and found this. I would have done your Nindaa and sinned, but this makes me giggle :D ਨਾਨਕ ਫਿਕੈ ਬੋਲਿਐ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਫਿਕਾ ਹੋਇ ॥ O Nanak, speaking insipid words, the body and mind become insipid. ਫਿਕੋ ਫਿਕਾ ਸਦੀਐ ਫਿਕੇ ਫਿਕੀ ਸੋਇ ॥ He is called the most insipid of the insipid; the most insipid of the insipid is his reputation. ਫਿਕਾ ਦਰਗਹ ਸਟੀਐ ਮੁਹਿ ਥੁਕਾ ਫਿਕੇ ਪਾਇ ॥ The insipid person is discarded in the Court of the Lord, and the insipid one's face is spat upon. ਫਿਕਾ ਮੂਰਖੁ ਆਖੀਐ ਪਾਣਾ ਲਹੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੧॥ The insipid one is called a fool; he is beaten with shoes in punishment. Anyway, our Ten Masters had shown the highest respect for Guru Granth Sahib. They took shoes off in Guru Granth Sahib's presence and they wore a Turban as symbol of Guru Granth Sahib's greatness beyond words and Waheguru's Creation. And of course, it is not written in Guru Granth Sahib, how to respect Guru Granth Sahib. That is something started and followed and maintained by Ten Gurus and Their Sikhs. And if someone talks about bringing down that standard of respect, he is in big trouble :D Should you still choose to reply, you are welcome :D [/QUOTE]
