Re: SFC: Language - A barrier for New Sikhs?
Religion was the bastion of the intellectual elite, its mysteries and deep spiritual wisdom well protected from modern day opinion espousing novices debating the semantics of a profound wisdom man must aspire towards if called than make demands of. Enlightenment is not solely gained by ardent study or pursuit of its prestigious mantle, but by grace, faith and devotion..
The sacred truths are illumined by the devotee as their intellectual integrity, emotional maturity and moral mettle permit. Novices, scholars and students of the sacred path to this noble shrine must submit their own mind, supplicate the heart and merge the spirit. It is only in this state the gentle peace of sahej is found.
The modern day subtle threat to the standing of religiosity has placed the very existence of God and the Supreme Lord into question, that is the danger of incongruent and the ignorant bringing their own lack of guile and wit to the tolerant threshold of the House of God. Sikhism does not by its intrinsic nature convert others to its path. The major religions are weakened by the submission to each demand voiced through a vociferous media mob to include such political matters in its retinue, only to assert blame upon religions unsolicited intervention in their politics. A truly comical farce of counter-allegations and transference of the sin of the unscrupulous upon the divided and undefended house of religion. A detached observation leads one to be fiercely protective of the sacred sanctum within where many hours of peace of mind were found.
Followers of religions have no right to make loud assertion or demands of religion. Once one demand is satisfied a barrage of whims follows dismantling the very walls of the temple of truth to serve the cause of the seemingly insurmountable mob at its door. A terrible outcome indeed. Let politicians serve the people, and the media seek out ‘public opinion’ through shields of their own vented views. Politics is a terrible affair.
All books of learning, be they Scientific, religious, Philosophical or Political are as valid as the intelligence communicated by their preachers and the understanding of their adherents. Sikhism has printed many scriptures in many languages for the benefit of Sikh children born in foreign lands for whom Punjabi is not immediately their primary language. Once read in Romanic the Sikh is then inspired to learn the relatively language of Punjabi and Sanskrit and gain a firsthand alliteration of the sacred scriptures of the Bani. As it should be, an exercise of Love and devotion than demand and aggression...
{A Sikh becomes transcends merged with the Holy Golden spectral Light of the Supreme Lord. What is then a white sikh?}
