[QUOTE="Satyaban, post: 122958, member: 1692"] Outpouring ji I understand your original question to be: [COLOR=darkred]"Who do sikhs believe is the one whom God loves the most, or the one who God has favoured the most, or the one who best followed God's commands, or the one who was in closest union with God?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred][COLOR=black]It then morphed into:[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=red][COLOR=darkred]"What I’m asking is, how do you differentiate between good and bad people, or good and better people? What signs do you (Sikhs) look for? And to continue the thread, who is the best person? How did you reach that conclusion?"[/COLOR][/COLOR] And now I think the latest reiteration is: [COLOR=darkred]"who is the greatest person that ever lived? how did you reach that conclusion?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred][COLOR=black]I am not a Sikh but I think before anyone can answer I think your intent should be better defined. If I were to attempt to answer these vague questions, even without knowing the underlying intent, each would most likely be different.
