[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 163017, member: 14641"] Confusedji I will confess to being devoid of my normal calmness at present, there are events going on in which although I show no outward signs of anger, inwardly, yes I am angry, agitated. Reading my posts recently is like reading those of a stranger. My wife is very Buddhist in her thinking, and when I start reading similar concepts from your posts and find myself arguing with her, I have to assume I have taken a wrong turning somewhere. I accept your argument about aspiring, one has to be oneself, and find ones own centre, as a Sikh, this means stripping away the anger, the hate, the agitation through understanding rather than modelling. I also have to accept that emulate may be the wrong word. A quick look at the dictionary confirms this possibly to be the worst word I could have chosen em·u·late (my-lt) tr.v. em·u·lat·ed, em·u·lat·ing, em·u·lates 1. To strive to equal or excel, especially through imitation: an older pupil whose accomplishments and style I emulated. 2. To compete with successfully; approach or attain equality with. I see Creator as a big brother who I would like to be more like, but through my own understanding not imitation. I have to accept that to want to be like someone else, even if it is Creator, is a dangerous path, one can only hope to be ones true self. I agree with your paragraph on miracles, I do not live to appease God in the hope of good things happening, I see God as quite detached from the world. I do not pray, or hope to catch a smile or a cheery nod, nor do I live in fear of a frown or a grimace, judgement comes through Creation. The Nihang/battle issue is murky, I think we may be at odds here, but I will concede that battles can be fought without hate and anger. I also accept that a valid contribution to a battle is to be a medic, the murkiness stems from my lack of belief in reincarnation. Direction-normally I am at peace with myself and my surroundings, at present I feel like I am in a war zone. Your comments on Karma work well coupled with a belief in reincarnation, as I lack the belief in reincarnation, I cannot comment. I do not agree with the 'giving is always good'. When I give, I give my all, and am always let down. My wife has made the comment that firstly, I should never even expect a thank you, and secondly, I should never give so much that I am left with nothing, so I guess my idea of giving is flawed. I sense a philosophy of giving and loving and leaving the rest to Karma, is this correct? However if one does not believe in Karma as you have defined, then the responsibility surely rests with the giver. Thank you again for taking the time to reply, it is much appreciated, I was sitting at home taking it in turns to annoy the animals when my wife insisted I go to the shop and post, it makes you peaceful, she says....
