[QUOTE="Kanwaljit.Singh, post: 148021, member: 14616"] But we are all given a free will in this world. God probably knows what is going to happen. He knows about so many earthquakes and hurricanes that are going to take many human lives. He doesn't stop them means that it has His Will in some way. The question that comes on us in this free will world, have we seen the person with highest gursikh quotient? No. Similarly we are not aware of the worst things that go on. But the good thing is that due to Guru Nanak, there are 25 million Sikhs trying to figure out what to do in life, how to meet God etc after so many years. Whereas no one is left to walk on path of Hitler. Though people who devote themselves to destroy humanity keep on coming up with novel ways. The more you question, the more you are made aware of your role in your life and those around you! How even a small action like plucking leaves from a plant impacts you or the plant! Guru Sahib wanted to go ahead and sacrifice his life to set new standards when it came to fight for justice. He also wanted to inspire his Sikhs that after that point, we had to learn self-defence and have a political standing wherever we lived! I cannot say for sure, but I think He felt no pain, for he was totally absorbed in Sewa of Akaal Purakh. Your position is decided and nice one to take. You will not allow even an iota of such horrible crime. Question is, what steps will you take to stop that? Teach Gatka to ladies from poor section of society? Gift them arms? Why not something simple like water, best fire extinguisher? There is difference in actions motivated by justice and those motivated by disgust! Such people walk amongst us and we don't do much. Every city is full of such cases and nothing happening in court, not even basic support for the victim. I have been to an NGO where they had ladies raped as under-age and some had even lost their mental senses. And I never went there again, though I kept planning so for a year! Take some action, yes it will be a selfish act to pacify the disturbance caused in your heart by such news. But it will bring good to some lives which live without hope. And slowly it might make your more selfless. Let me correct you a bit here if you don't mind. Such line can be compared to: ਮਨਸਾ ਪੂਰਨ ਸਰਨਾ ਜੋਗ ॥ He is the Fulfiller of wishes, who can give us Sanctuary; ਜੋ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੋਈ ਹੋਗੁ ॥ That which He has written, comes to pass. ਹਰਨ ਭਰਨ ਜਾ ਕਾ ਨੇਤ੍ਰ ਫੋਰੁ ॥ He destroys and creates in the twinkling of an eye. ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਹੋਰੁ ॥ No one else knows the mystery of His ways. ਅਨਦ ਰੂਪ ਮੰਗਲ ਸਦ ਜਾ ਕੈ ॥ He is the embodiment of ecstasy and everlasting joy. ਸਰਬ ਥੋਕ ਸੁਨੀਅਹਿ ਘਰਿ ਤਾ ਕੈ ॥ I have heard that all things are in His home. [COLOR=blue]ਰਾਜ ਮਹਿ ਰਾਜੁ ਜੋਗ ਮਹਿ ਜੋਗੀ ॥[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Among kings, He is the King; among yogis, He is the Yogi.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]ਤਪ ਮਹਿ ਤਪੀਸਰੁ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਸਤ ਮਹਿ ਭੋਗੀ ॥[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Among ascetics, He is the Ascetic; among householders, He is the Enjoyer.[/COLOR] ਧਿਆਇ ਧਿਆਇ ਭਗਤਹ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ By constant meditation, His devotee finds peace. ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੁ ਪੁਰਖ ਕਾ ਕਿਨੈ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੨॥ O Nanak, no one has found the limits of that Supreme Being. ||2|| Thus while Guru Sahib calls God as the essence of Kings, Saints, Ascetics and Householders, he doesn't relate God to gross evil actions you talk about. And I believe there is no where in Guru Granth Sahib where God is compared with actions of crime. See a saint is full of Godly qualities, a rapist is more like empty (void). God is like an open sea where we are fishes, now there are some bad fishes out there too. Sea doesn't kill those bad fishes or inspire them to be bad. They are bad because other fishes don't do anything. And we just accuse God. Nice line from Batman Begins: [I]Criminals Thrive On The Indulgence Of Society's Understanding[/I] It points to fact that we become 'understanding' and pardon 'small time' crooks. These people only later become 'big time' crooks or vicious crime lords, spawning more hell minions. So have Faith in God, and Kirpan in your kamar kasa (waistband) to stop evil and defend the helpless. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh [/QUOTE]
