I reccommend the Quran to all Sikh students.
- THIS TITLE ITSELF SHOWS YOUR INTENTION......THIS IS A SIKH WEBSITE, LETS EXPLORE SGGS FULLY!! THERE IS SO MUCH INNER BEAUTY WHICH I BET YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!!
I treat "holy" books as intelligence, not divine order or necessarily divine truth. That's why I can read the Bible and Koran and just intake the amount of intelligence they hold without becoming a follower of the actual religion. I can read the SGGS and contemplate it rather than just assume its truth.
- THERE IS A LOT OF INTELLIGENCE IN SGGS TOO
Even though I am not Khalsa yet, I will only become and be part of the Khalsa Panth.
So, here me out and why I put this strong reccomendation to all Sikh students. And by students, I do not mean Sikh Youth, I mean people who have practiced/read/and actively follow the Sikh religion and Sikh politics.
Islam is the active submission to God. It's a psychological cleansing to eradicate your mind and submit your dues to God.
- SIKHISM HAS THE SAME, EXCEPT HERE YOU ARE NOT IN FEAR SUBMISSION BUT WITH LOVE, TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT. IN ISLAM YOU ARE IN FEAR OF CRUEL HARSH PUNISHMENTS IN HELL.
There is wisdom in those books but it is useless to most. The word of God is useless to one that can only read it and not live it. Islam to me is a powerful religion that is based on a mental strength and submission to God. In that submission it clears the psychological path to the other side of your self.
- IS THAT WHY WE HAVE SO MANY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS? AND TO ERADICATE ALL KUFIRS (LIKE SIKHS) NOTHING TO CLEAR HERE. EVEN THE QUIET MUSLIMS AGREE ISLAM SHALL DOMINATE IN THE END.
For if there is a hope in you, the dream to do good, to succeed and to prosper, and then it is only logical to assume there is another side. If life struggles to prolong itself and to maintain its existence, then something within you must work towards self annihilation.
-SAME IN SIKHISM WHICH YOU HAVE FAILED IN THIS SENSE? SAME THING IN BIBLE.
YOU MISSED THEIR MESSAGE OF LOVE?? WHY?? LOOK AT BUDDHISM......MOST PEACEFUL FAITH EVER.
For all the good in you there must be a part of you that lives in the complacency of failure and works toward negativity. Islam addresses that struggle, it gives people inner strength that have nothing. Being one with God makes those parts of you clearer to see.
- ISLAM HAS MIXTURE OF CHRITIANITY AND JUDASIM ......AND HINDUISM SO THERE IS NOTHING UNIQUE IN ISLAM.....PLEASE UNDERSTAND. YOU WOULD HAVE A POINT IF IT WAS A MUCH EARLIER FAITH......
As a Sikh growing up, when you see history/Gurus/1984 you are filled with the need to make a change, to progress, and to do good for all. You see the Guru's lifestyle and you want to accomplish what they did, you want to lead, you want tos ucceed and prosper, and help out every human whose suffereing. Then, you face current society, you face your own community whose become so corrupted. This is exactly what I mean by the wars of the mind. One side seeks good, while the other starts to seek self-annlihation. Me, and many sikhs that I've spoken to, have at times become so fed up and sad with the state of the Sikhs, or the future of the Sikhs that they feel they should jus give up.
- GO TO PAKISTAN, IRAQ AND YOU WILL RUN BACK TO SIKHISM... MUSLIM GROUPS HATE EACH OTHER I.E. SUNNI, SHI-ITE, AHMDAIYA... YOU WILL RUN AND LOVE SIKHISM MORE......WE DONT HAVE A BIG PROBLEM AS MUCH AS THEM.
Everyone sees the Sikh identity going away, even as uncles begin to tell you that you dont need kesh anymore, and you see your children may give it away too. So what's the point, if eventually someone will cut it. This is what I mean by self-annlihation. I do not mean suicide, but eradicating your own self, your own culture, and "giving in".
- THIS IS THE 'SAROOP' NOW LETS FOCUS ON LOVE OF GOD IN SGGS
I've only read and understood part of the Quran, but even the little I have, it does help, and I recommend it to all children of the same league as me.
- SO YOU ARE NOT EVEN TRYING SGGS? AND YOU WILL NOT RECOMMEND IT TO CHILDREN? READ IT ALL!!!!! SEE....... READ THE SAKHIS.
At times, I feel as reading the SGGS it does not factor in the struggle of the mind that I face at times, hence where the Quran can come in as a factor.
- THAT IS YOUR OPINION, I PERSONALLY FOUND BUDDHISM APPEALING, HOWEVER SGGS STANDS OUT IN THE CROWD.
IF YOU CANT READ THE SAKHIS, AND SGGS, THEN READ ABOUT HEAVEN FOR MALES .AND WHAT HAPPENS TO A WIFE WHO DOESNT LISTEN TO YOU. DONT JUST READ ONE PART AND FALL IN LOVE. TASTE THE WHOLE APPLE.
