[QUOTE="chazSingh, post: 197665, member: 17409"] Oh you guys with your shouty capitals and your definitive inside knowledge on everything Sikhi! [COLOR=Blue]appologies with the capitals..i use the capitals to highlight something sometimes...not to come across as shouty...appologies[/COLOR] my argument is very simple, living truthfully is hard, it is not easy, it is done through discipline, habit and desire, and if done long enough, becomes a habit, and becomes easier, your argument, correct me if I am wrong, is that it comes from mumbling, or as you call it 'naam simram', from grace, from hukam, my oh my how convenient! [COLOR=Blue]have to correct you here.... on this thread we are discussing one view of truthful living i.e. "truthful/righteous deeds, honesty, kindness etc etc' to living in Truth: to live amongst all once you have been graced with the experience of the TRUTH of reality which is revealed within yourself (as gurbani also describes) we are not just talking about actions that become habit and becomes a part of your character. so please discuss the two...and your opinions on both..
