[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 163000, member: 14641"] Confusedji firstly you still owe me a reply for my last post addressing yours :) I do aspire to be like the Gurus, I aspire for the clarity of vision, for the calmness, for the ability to see the truth. I do know who I am, and sometimes it is not a pretty sight, what else is Hukam, other than aspiring to be like Creator with Creators values? I do this in the hope that the part of me I dislike so much can be shed. It is important that I do not believe in miracles, believing in such opens a a whole new universe where the laws of nature can be bent at will by Creator, I do not believe this, I believe that Creator allows us to make our own decisions, and judgement is given by Creation. If I believed in miracles, I could well spend all my time appeasing God in the hope something good will happen, instead of living by Bani in the hope that this will provide a better outcome from Creation. As far as the Nihangs go, if you are going into battle, you better do it with every mental and physical weapon open to you, when the time comes to fight, one must fight, with anger and hate, your survival depends on it. however, I can see your point of view, it is something I will think about tonight. I cannot answer your question on direction, again I will give this some thought If you could explain how answering anger with kindness on a battlefield works, I would be grateful, as I cannot, with respect see how this works. I would like to think of wisdom as the eternal universal truth, the proper way to act in any situation, I would be the first to admit that my wisdom is flawed, I am learning like all of us here I have a big problem with Karma, unless we are talking in the single life, with effects and consequences in this life. I would also say that not all good deeds have good effects, giving to beggars could be seen as a good deed with potentially bad effect, same as spoiling a child, or lending another money, it can result in dependence, I guess wisdom tells us what is a good deed and what is not, but I do not think good deeds are hugely obvious taken at face value, tough love can be a good deed, although not immediately apparent. I have shifted my view hugely, what I believe is for me and for me alone, I have huge respect for other beliefs and interpretation. I apologise if I have come across as arrogant. In my heart I feel I know the truth, however, I never said that I practice it, my posts are clearly written by someone that may well know some truths, but it is implementing what I know, and I seem to be struggling with that, having said that, when I was a child, on a regular basis, I would throw everything in the air and start again, I feel like I am doing this now with my approach to Sikhism, I rather feel like I am in a game of snakes and ladders, and I have just slid down a huge snake. I think your post is more spot on than I would care to admit to myself, I will comment again tomorrow, and you still owe me a reply :):) [/QUOTE]
