Sikhi Is Sikhi A Religion?

[ravneet_sb]

Sat Sri Akaal,

Belief is may be True or False, true for some and false for other. This is relogion.

At ONE ends there is origin which is original and absolute TRUTH, like initiation ONE knows and is TRUTH.

The other end infinite and pragmatic it has both values postive for some and negative for some and cannot be fixed as this is infinite expansion and evolving.

To reach ultimate of ends will remain a human challenge.

So belief of evolving and expansion can not be fixed by Science the scientist and researches have to keep there awareness eue open to witness the evolution and expansion. Else the state will lag behind.

Life exists in static and dynamic states.

Guru Nanak said, "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." Reasoning inductively, we can conclude that his disciples are neither Hindu nor Muslim.

One can interpret "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." statment in many ways . If Gurus discovery neither Hindu , nor muslim meant founding of a new reilgiion ,he might have added a postive conculsion
Neither Hindu nor Muslins, but SIKHS .

The spritual meaning would be the 'SELF' is beyond wordly division like those of different relgions and sects .The SELF is neither Hindu nor mulsim , neither White ot Black ,neither this or that ;neti neti in the Upanishad phrase .This insight is as typically INDIC(Dharmic) as you can get ,

Quite right. The Indian mode of spirituality is particularly amenable to apophatic theological discourse.

Yet we would be wrong to not acknowledge the same tradition in Sufism, and Shia Islam generally. And arguably, the Shi'ites in turn got it from the Platonists. And then there is the via negativa of the Christian mystic tradition. Don't forget the Zen mystical tradition in East Asia. And so on and so forth.

Point is that Nanak is not a Hindu and Sikhi is something qualitivatively different from the soil in which it arose.
