[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 421, member: 138"] [b]How do you love IK ONG KAAR??!![/b] <<ok... i've got a real stupid question... but i just HAVE to ask it... how do you love God?>> Sukhi ji, Guru Fateh, For a Seeker-sikh-, No question is stupid. If one asks the question, it means that s/he is looking for answers. That's what our beautiful Religion is based upon. Now to your very important question which makes us all ponder!! I wish Guru Sahibs had given us the exact instructions of how to use our TOOL BOX- SGGS-so that. But then I don't.The reason I think there are no such instructions given is because the relationship with ONE GOD is very personal endeavor and it can only happen through our individual DASAM DUAR as mentioned in Anand Sahib which we recite everyday. Guru Nanak Dev ji, the visionary of this UNIVERSAL LOVE mentioned 3 tenets through which we can start our journey of GURMAT LOVE. 1. Naam Japnah It does not mean merely a lip service. One does not become a CPA by just memorising the arithmatic tables nor does One become a doctor by just bowing to the medical books. One needs to study them with GOD'S LOVE in mind. As mentioned above, I consider SGGS as my TOOLBOX. One can either make it a stool and sit on it while munching a sandwich or 2 (ofcourse I do not mean it literally) or one can open the tool box and use it and learn from it. 2. Kirat Karnee Whatever we do in our lives, since the time we become aware of our surroundings to our last breath, we should do it with GOD'S LOVE in our mind. By doing this we are sowing the seeds of goodness which in result will give more fruits than our little fruit basket can carry. 3. Vand kei chaknah From the above two we notice that through NAAM JAPNAH we have acquired the tools for our KIRAT. Now our basket is full and there is a lot more fruit than we can handle. Here comes the third concept into picture. The third arc to complete the GURMAT CIRCLE. Guru Sahib did not mention the word 'TO GIVE' but TO SHARE. This is very important to remember that the ONLY GIVER is IK ONG KAAR. Also 'GIVING' by a mortal creates a kind of heirachy, one gives to the one who are at sub par as compare to the giver. As Sikhi is all about equality,hence a sikh shares. Sikhi does not believe in charity either as there is none who is downtrodden in IK ONG KAAR'S realm. SABH GOBIND HEIN, GOBIND BIN NAHIN KOI-Everyone is born with IK ONG KAAR's LOVE within, no one is without it. By sharing we create a cycle of goodness, hence the people we share with can also share their fruits with others. Because of the above there are 25 million Sikhs in the world in such a short period of time. I would like you to share your thoughts about the above with us as well. As only by sharing we can cultivate goodness in which GOD'S LOVE selfmanifests. My 2 cent worth. Peace and Love. Tejwant [/QUOTE]
