[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 148626, member: 14641"] Ishna Bhenji, I have always had a liking for drama and excitement, which is why I talk of wolves, and howling, I like to put my problems into a context that the warrior spirit understand inside of me. I have always said, if we as sikhs were at war, there would be less people like myself feeling useless, as it is a part of me, not to fight for the sake of violence, but to fight a just war against an evil oppressor, in days gone by, huge groups of us would have been able to put our bloodlust in place doing something useful, but in the absence of any worthy war to fight, we turn to drink, drugs and end up getting involved in worldy pleasures that take us away from the Guru. However, I see life as a war, I am not a man in peace, the minute I walk past the beggar, and accept it as normal, I have lost. I do not allow myself the luxury of a peaceful mind, a peaceful mind, (for me) is a mind of compromise, a mind where it is ok for beggars to pitifully beg for money, or women get raped, or all the other unspeakable things that happen in the world today. It is those things that are the enemy, although as Gyaniji wisely stated, not the person (I confess, if I had not ready Gyaniji's post, I would have made the mistake of citing the person, so thank you for not making me look foolish by posting before me), There is much evil in the world, go beyond the five thieves, which are merely psirens trying to lure us away from the right path, and you will find such evil that you could not imagine it, how many of us are horrified sometimes by stories of such macabre things, you cannot imagine what drove such people to feel that way. The war is against these evils, and the lure of the five thieves, and those of us that are so inclined, can do whatever it is that we can in this fight. So to all my fellow sikhs, do not read something in your local paper and brush it one side, do something about it, fight using debate or legal means to rid our world of these evils, I think it is in this fight that Guruji is trying to inspire us. We are all different, we all have different qualities and assets, I am no good at prayer, I see no point, that is not to say I do not agree with it, nor would I consider it a huge part of my life at some stage, just not now, however, I would concede that some people are not fighters, in the sense of the word that they would rather meditate and pray, than fight, I envy you, you are trying to change evil whilst bathing in the light of the spirit, it is harder to do than fighting, or a better word would be sewa. Anyone can do sewa, just like anyone can have a big house and a car, but not everyone can be at one with the spirit, enough to carry out sewa through simram, now thats something [/QUOTE]
