Re: Being Naam-dhari is Sikhi
Sat Sri Akal,
I totally agree with Bibi Surinder Kaur ji that by condemning other's faiths , we cannot win over their hearts. This is exactly what is taught by Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh ji. We do not intend to hurt anybody's feelings but we also cannot take the ugly comments made by somebody lying down.
In fact, today we should all get together and work for the removal of many bad habits which have infiltrated almost 80% of Sikh homes in India i.e. cutting of hair by Sikh youth and drug addiction.
If the energy that we are spending here is diverted to the above-mentioned cause, then I think that will be more useful since nobody has achieved anything from this infighting between ourselves. For refreshing your memories, I must tell here that umpteen number of books running into thousands of pages have been written from both sides but to no avail.
If one side questions other, then other side comes up with a rebuttal but with no fruitful end. The books that I have mentioned have been written by very famous historians from both sides but they failed to convince each other.
What I think is that we should instead ask each other, how much gurbani you read everyday or how much naam-simran you do everyday as per your maryada.
We should strive for community development by working collectively rather than working individually. Imagin , we constitute only 2% or 1% of the human population on earth and how many groups are we divided into.
If I may have hurt anybody, then I apologize for the same.
Regards,
Curious Singh.
