[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 77325, member: 35"] Carolineislands ji Tonight I am splitting my time between doing laundry and moderating and writing my own thoughts too. So I saw your questions. WoW!! On another forum, let's call it Nameless for Now, one very dear and kind member from Delhi, wrote that he was very concerned that I doubt myself the way I seem to do. I had actually described the feeling of not being a "real Sikh". Even though i was speaking tongue in cheek, it was my attempt to describe the struggle we who are converts have feeling authentic. So much knowledge, language, understanding of Sikhism is bound up in centuries of culture that some share -- those born into Sikhism - and others do not have this dependable founcaton-- they are those who convert. I want to share what he told me without disclosing his identity or the name of the forum. It is a private network anyway. This may help you as it helped me. [I][SIZE=1] I firmly know that the Guru takes care of his sikhs. But the only condition is that the sikh is true to his Guru and not that he knocks at other doors as well. A convert sikh truly has no tradition to teach him or ease of learning. But at the same time there is no accompanying garbage to give up. Guru Nanak Dev ji in his time traveled far and wide and there were sikhs with diverse cultures. Many unfamiliar with the language. In a local Hyderabad Gurdwara which i visited once there were telgu speaking sikhs who have a different back ground. Similarly there are many other sikhs with different language backgrounds. The sikhi of Guru Nanak is devoid of rituals. It is difficult to practice as there are hardly any ritualistic things to do. The sikhi is to go within. It is to live as even a householder and be with the Guru within. So people with diverse backgrounds can easily go forward.[/SIZE][/I] [I][SIZE=1] The Guru arranges the satsangat as per needs. The affairs too are resolved both of the outer world and blocks before the inner world.[/SIZE][/I] So I am not going to say more right now but to share your wistful sense of wondering. [COLOR=Olive][B]Now deep down inside you know you are a Sikh. Of course you do. It just that sometimes it is such a fragile feeling. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
