[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 199430, member: 138"] Kggr ji, Guru Fateh. In my opinion, FAITH is a wrong word to use for Sikhi. Faith is blind, it is a belief system without questioning. If Sikhi were any faith or a belief system in which you COULD NOT question, then there would not have been any need for Guru Nanak to reject Janeiu at the very young age, would not have felt the need to throw water to "irrigate" his farm while others were busy "irrigating" the Sun, just to show these blind sheep the meaninglessness of these silly rituals. He would not have rejected Sati, Pilgrimages, Fasting,Dips in holy water for all kinds of cures- both mental and physical and many more other nonsensical rituals that are prevalent in all belief systems and faiths. Even Guru Nanak showed the true meaning of Aarti to the blind sheep and many other things like the ill of Circumcision, Babarvani, Sidh Gosht etc. etc. These and many other useless rituals that he rejected in order to show us how Sikhi is neither a faith nor a belief system. Both of these require NO QUESTIONING whatsoever. He made Sikhi stand on its own based on questioning like when he was in Mecca. It is the only pragmatic way of life where reasoning is of the utmost importance hence the repeated explanations and tools our Gurus have given us how to lasso our minds with reason, not with any parroting mantras. The only Mantra he gave us is to practice goodness within bred with the help of Gurbani again and again in our everyday lives as he did by serving the hungry when his Dad gave him some money to do business, and the best business deal he showed us was to teach the needy how to fish so they can self sustain rather then giving them just the fish to eat. This the reason, one will never see a Sikh beggar, unlike hordes of people in other religions all around the world. So, as we study Gurbani in order to practice it in our everyday lives, Gurbani instructs us by doing good one can feel good for ever-just like learning how to fish. The rest are all blind faiths, beliefs where if you question, you are more likely to be ex-communicated and/or get killed. This is the beauty of Sikhi that all of us should cultivate in order to cherish every moment of the only life we know, rather than becoming drug addicted parrots for transitory highs that are ought to dissipate quickly like any drug. We are taught with the help of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru, to reason and question like good Students, Learners, Seekers- SIKHS. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
