Sath shri akal ji
what does Sri Guru Gobind Singh jee mean in zafarma when he writes
" I warred with the idol-worshipping hill chiefs,
For, I am the breaker of idols and they their worshippers. (95)"
arent we sikhs suppose to respect and honour other religions? then why does he say that he smashes the hindu statues of Ganesh, vishnu etc..
and the other questions:
i was raised in the belief that all my muslim and christian friends would also have an equal chance of goin to paradise, the same way as me.
i found this verse:
Page 142, Line 8
ਰਾਹ ਦੋਵੈ ਇਕੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ਸਿਝਸੀ ॥
राह दोवै इकु जाणै सोई सिझसी ॥
raah dovai ik jaanai so-ee sijhsee.
One who recognizes that all spiritual paths lead to the One shall be emancipated.
Guru Nanak Dev
but then i also found these verses on http://www.whyichosesikhism.com/?p=answers&ans=4
where it says that only sikhs will enter paradise..
Without naam, no one can find God.
Translation:O Nanak, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, no one is liberated
Without the Guru, the Naam cannot be obtained.
read the link if you want the whole answer, and see why i am confused :S
