[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 189382, member: 12855"] Then use the lessons as your litmus test. Whenever you hear a story, measure how it matches up with Gurbani. If the story does not fit in with the teachings of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji then discard the story. Only Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is important. I urge you to explore and contribute to the Shabad of the Week and Gurmat Vichaar sections of the site as that is where you will learn the true meaning of Sikhi. All the above thoughts are interlinked and have largely been answered by Gyani ji and Spnadmin ji's expert observations as well as others. The sakhis are largely manufactured and are unimportant. Focus your attention on Gurbani and the more of this gem you will explore, the more you realise how amazing the message is. Implementing the teachings in your life is another matter and a very personal one but with teh help of sangat!! Why do we go to school? Why not just learn by ourselves? It is to benefit from the wisdom and experience that teachers can share with us. This is the same case as learning from our Guruji. The learning process is very individual but we all need help. Even Guru ji did not learn alone, but drew on the strength and wisdom of those around him, including his supportive sister Bibi Nanaki. The only authority you need is Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and anyone who studies it, is awed by its wisdom and insight. What more authority do we need? I do believe in miracles - the miracle of people who are able to do the right thing in the face of adversity, the miracle of human strength, the miracle of some people who are able to remain in chardi kala despite the odds, the miracle of how all life works together, the miracle of a waterfall or the sunset and the miracle of finding SPN sangat at a time in my life when I was desperately spiritually alone. Whether you follow Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is your choice, whether you become a Sikh is your choice, the authortiy you choose is your choice. My only advice is to use your bibek buddhi, your discerning intellect to find the right path for you. Guru ji also believed in the miracle of the human spirit, which is why he empowered the common man with the pearls of Gurbani, unlike the Brahmins who insisted only they had this power. Ik Oankaar is in each and every one of us. When I am rude to someone or about someone, I judge myself and feel terrible. I die a spiritual death as I judge myself negatively and move away from a Gursikh ideal. When I am kind to another being, I feel more connected and closer to being a Gurmukh. I judge myself positively and am closer to spiritual life. This is the rue judgement. There is a locking system in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The numbers and system of it being set out ensure it cannot be tampered without being noticed. I think the system is covered in one of the attachements from Spnadmin ji earlier in the thread.
