Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archived_member14" data-source="post: 150046" data-attributes="member: 586">Randip ji,You mean you read the scriptures without any understanding as to what is being proposed as right is right and what is said to be wrong is wrong? When you express the Sikh view, are you involved simply in parroting, or do you come in with your own particular interpretation? Sometime ago, on feeling frustrated by the views expressed here with regard to Karma, I asked my wife about it on our way back in the car. She said something like, "If you don't believe in Karma, what then is the basis for morality?" I thought to myself, "Bravo, I'm sure many Sikhs will agree with that". Besides, some Sikhs have also said to me that I'm more Sikh than most ......My point here Randip ji, is that you have your own Sikh view, but you should know that there are other Sikhs who will not agree with your interpretation. And based on my wife's reaction I believe that I've been more or less in line with some of what is actually taught in Sikhism. What I speak against then is not Sikh, but your and some other people's interpretation of Sikhism. You therefore need to refrain from making the kind of assertion which in the end only reflects *your interpretation* but claimed to be the definitive Sikh view. Besides given the meaning of "Sikh", you appear to actually go against this because the attitude expressed sounds almost as if you are done learning.....</blockquote>
