[QUOTE="sunmukh, post: 135009, member: 11050"] Ek OnKaar Sat Naam Chaan Pardesi ji, it is sad to note the terms you use to describe people of other faiths. They are all part of the One Lord's creation and to use derogotary terms to describe other fellow soul-brides is not becoming of a soul-bride of the One Lord, the Lord who is Husband to be of all. It is also sad that you feel people have anything to gain from taking control of an institution. Your sentiments are not atypical though, and I am sorry you and many others have not learned from SGGS ji. The jewels are being missed whilst one gathers shells. Please let me share some of my understanding a few of the teachings of Guru ji , with you: People enter the world naked, and leave likewise. They will take nothing from it other than their karma. Some live in fear of people taking control of an institution, or other material assets, yet all can be removed, replicated, subsituted, merged, broken up or recreated at any moment as the Lord wills. He created them and He can destroy them. Only He is the Great Giver. Instead of maintaining attachment to temporary worldly items, one should endeavour to remove such fears and attachment to worldly matters. Living in fear of someone else taking control of material assets is built in assocation with a mixture of greed, envy, jealousy, anger, resentment, hatred and ego. These are all non-virtuous traits that can rapidly destroy karma. There is no loss even if even all or any gurdwaras and temples of all or any insitutions of all or any faiths are taken control of by members of other faiths, or by people of no faith. They will go anyway. They simply are not permanent. There is great loss if one loses karma, whilst one chases and protects a shell. The supreme Gurdwara, the supreme temple, with gates to the Lord is in the human mind. The opportunity to worship at it is only available whilst one is in this human form. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The gates can be entered if you walk towards them, and no set procedure is required, and no set appearance. Only love for the Lord who will welcome you with open arms, at anytime of the day or night, even if all material temples are all in disrepair, abandoned or seized. This is the fortress of the mind and cannot be broken if the mind is resolute. it is God's fortress and can never be broken or seized if your mind accepts God as your protector. All the material ones can be rebuilt, together with all the dressings and paraphernalia that accompanies them, as long as one has faith in the One Lord. The one in the mind is not so easily reformed. If the opportunity is lost whlst one chases mirages, one may have to endure suffering for aeons until another opportunity arises. If one believes in Karma as SGGS ji speaks of, then put your faith in the One Lord. This faith can be embedded in one's karma until one's light remerges with the Lord, but material items will all return to dust at some time or another, including all institutions.
