Re: ਇਕ ਦੇਸ਼ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਦੇਖਿਆ... - A Country That I have Envisioned...


[html]Hesitatingly,, I asked him how can one come to stay here permanently?He said it takes time, as strict rules apply and no one who practises manmat or derawaad is allowed to live here.I begin to think about myself..and wonder how much manmat remains in me and how much have I managed to get rid off, because the brahmini practices and rituals have never been rid off from our everyday lives..rituals like rakhrri,kaurva chauth; fasting, masiya, sangrand, the puja paath of death annivesaries and other countless manmati practices we are laundering oursleves in, will NEVER qualify me to become a citizen of such a noble country, as Sikhland.[/html]


How can we say that another person lives and preaches from manmatt, and yet we do not?


How can we say that the life of another is shot through with rituals, thus spiritually inferior, and yet our life is not filled with other kinds of pujas and rituals? They may be more difficult to spot because they are more sophisticated.


How do we know when we judge that we ourselves have not distorted the message of shabadguru?


How do we know that someone else is lost? But we ourselves are in full command of the spiritual journey?
