[QUOTE="KweurSeek, post: 49151, member: 4118"] Sat Shri Akal. I think that a lot of people have that question of which religion is right for them. I feel that everything happens for a reason and it also happens under God's watchful eyes. Since you were born into a Sikh family (i am assuming, since you haven't mentioned specifically), I think that would be a place to start exploring a path to God. I personally feel that Sikhi is better than Christianity and Islam. That is because of the authenticity of our scriptures. They were actually written by our Gurus. A lot of the Christian scriptures have been interpreted and changed around for 2000 years now. That really turns me off the religion. Look at all the various little sects that religion has broken into! Furthermore, Islam has these 'hadiths', or teachings of Mohammed outside Quran, that are used (and often misinterpreted) to make statements (what I mean is that teachings outside the Quran are used to validate points of views). Sikhi is simple. Remember God. Pray. Serve all. Amongst many other messages. There are no rituals (although unfortunately some of them have been invented by the Sikhs) etc that can make the teachings questionable. Of course, I find that there are some shortcomings too. For example, SGGS does not specifically mention the 5 k's. Furthermore, the dasam granth's authenticity has been questioned as some sections are believed not to be the work of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I personally believe that SGGS does an adequate job of calming my restlessness and giving me direction in life. Sikhi requires hardwork. I have recently turned 20 and I reflected on life and some of the lessons I have learned as a teenager. I think the biggest lesson was that you have to work for something. The language used in SGGS is exquisite but not always easy to understand. So you will need help with that. Christianity is so large because of the forced conversions done under colonialism and even the missionary work done right now. I do feel that Jesus was a prophet who came to Earth with a message of love for others. But I think that message has been lost with time and there are so many other implications that came over instead of it. Christians are more worried about spreading their philosophy rather than practicing it. So it all boils down to starting with what you have. And if you are really not satisfied then exploring other options? It really shouldn't come to that as Sikhi is indeed a unique religion with a much more understandable and practical philosophy. Good Luck p.s - I hope I haven't offended anyone. I do respect my Christian and Muslim friends. However, personally I don't see them fit for myself! [/QUOTE]
