Muddymick ji,
Guru Fateh.
You seem a bit upset and I apologise for that if my post made you so. Sikhi is all about conversation where disagreements are part and parcel of the learning process.
You write:
Yourself as a progenitor of this thread has helped me explain what the subject of the thread is, which is Sikhi Path. It has nothing to do with any other religion including Buddhism which you often mention in your posts as a comparison to Sikhi. As I mentioned in my previous post, any one is free to do that. If you want to compare it with other religions than the title is the wrong one I am afraid. It does not indicate what you have been talking about in your posts in response to others.
So, what are your questions? If it relates to the above, then please say so and ask them in that manner so we can have a conversation.
What is highly questionable and in what manner? Please elaborate with concrete examples.
First and foremost, thanks for proving my point which Spnadmin ji and myself tried to drive home. What is said in the other thread belongs to that one. Please question or share your ideas there. This thread started by you is called Sikhi Path and we should stick to it.
Secondly, I do not consider Sikhi as a religion but a way of life. A Sikh simply means a learner, a seeker, a student; unlike a Buddhist who follows the teachings of only Buddha although no one is certain what they are because he did not write a single word or a Christian who does the same with the Gospels as Christ's words, but no is certain because they were written many many years after like the teachings of Buddha. Hence these teachings and of other religions which include the Abrahamic ones are highly questionable because we have no idea about the author/s unlike the writings in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji where every author is known and it is written in such a way that nothing can be taken out or added to it. In other words, the distortions, if intended of the original writings are impossible to do.
Guru Nanak never mentioned anywhere nor did the other nine Nanaks who followed him that they came to form another religion but to share their ideas with others. That is why it is a lifestyle.
Is the above your personal opinion? If it is, please elaborate it with examples.
Once again, your questions above should be asked, opined in the thread they were written in as Spnadmin ji and myself mentioned, let’s stick to the subject of this thread that you started,which is Sikhi Path, otherwise everything becomes muddled. No pun intended.
We are all guests here. That is the beauty of Sikhi. We are all learners, seekers and students.
Interactions, disagreements are part of Sikhi as mentioned before. No one is taking your post as an insult but requesting you to stick to the subject you started. So, no need to apologise.
Thanks & regards
Tejwant Singh
