maybe if more people did, instead of seeing him as some sort of magician or demi god, Sikhism would be in a better place, I often remark to other Sikhs why they do not take more inspiration from his ideals and philosophies, only to be told, oh well, he was a Guru, I am just an ordinary person,
rubbish, if someone acted in a similar fashion in a Gurudwara he would be beaten up, I doubt very much this took place, it is another sakhi blown out of proportion with an element of chinese whispers, the Guru Nanak that I hold dear would have made his point in an eloquent fashion without needing to insult or use the supernatural.
without any issue at all, such is merely lip service, I know of folks that show huge respect to their parents in this fashion, but it is the only way in which this respect is shown..lip service.
no, what looks odd and disrespective is an entire religion that is more obsessed with showing faux respect to a holy manuscript and living Guru, rather than actually reading, understanding and following it,
