Message: <blockquote data-quote="ekmusafir_ajnabi" data-source="post: 50473" data-attributes="member: 4318">KDS 1980, KDS1980I understand the text of this shabad. I will come back to this shabad in due course. Thank you very for its introduction.  I accept I have used the word "Manmat" but let us not go astray from the main topic. I have agreed with Randip Singh to refrain from the use of these words. I hope you too will respect that. "People like you" - Please do not jump to conclusions on my character. You may feel comfortable with a blind fold and follow the mainstream but I do not want to.  As a sikh, I would like you also to come forth with an open mind and make a fruitful contribution. At the end of the day it may turn out that I am wrong. I will gladly accept that. At least it will not be on my conscience. I can rest in peace. But if I am proven right then............just imagine how many potential souls will be helped. Short of the Gurus or interference by some devine authority coming down to resolve this matter this issue probably cannot not be resolved. People are set in their ways. My belief is that Sikhism is based on logic. Take any verse in SGGS and you will find a logic behind its existance. So I request you and all other members to join forces and with the blessings of our Gurus we will come to know the righteous path and avoid possible mis-interpretations in the future. You may have come across many cases where the Courts of the law have come to wrong conclusions and sentenced the individual and after many years it is realised that the decision made at the time was wrong and the case re-opens. We are living in Kalyug under its rules. It is bound to put a blindfold over our eyes. Evil/negative thoughts shall only flourishes under its regime. I accept your sentiments with regards to Akal Takhat, the final authority in making decisions for the Sikh Panth. Those people up there are still ordinary human beings. There is a lot of politics going on there. A Lot goes on behind the scenes that does not get to the likes of you and me. My conscience does not accept this line of thought. And yes all those scholars can be wrong. In order to come to a conclusion we have to start somewhere. And yes I start with the assumtion that those scholars are wrong or mistaken. I do not wish to be sheep among the herd. If you can make a useful contribution to this subject then I would very much appreciate your assistance. Otherwise please watch this space.</blockquote>
