Bhagat Singh Veer ji some comments.
Veer let us be honest. Anytime something is said about other religions and the stuff like vedas, idols, re-incarnation, and other aspects with little to no value in Sikhism, you get triggered and so do Bagga ji. What am I supposed to take from it when Guru ji has debunked all this is empty rituals, lack of solutions, lack of guidance of the true creator and creation in such. I try to keep things as straight as I can but I am limited in doing positive versus fighting this negative attacks on Sikhism, no matter how camouflaged or sugar coated or hidden.
Guru ji have repeatedly stated the falsehood of external rituals, samadhis, and all other funky stuff. If one wants to persist that is a personal choice and no one can force anyone. If it is to mislead and justify as a Sikhism and SGGS vouched way, then Sikhs need to stand up and be counted.
I respect your intellect and I have sensed a change towards meditative close your eyes as a way equivalent to what SGGS states. This is false and your choice but not what SGGS teaches or our Guru ji teach.
Veer there is no special place for vedas in SGGS in spite of what you may conjecture. There are misleading translations and I could not help if you want to use those shoulders to shoot from. Guru ji did not start Sikhism because Vedas and other stuff was leading people the right way. It was the reverse. These led people and the exploiters to mislead and create divides. Hence Sikhism and SGGS.
Veer I pay attention to circumstances and relationships and triggers for posts. I am not 100% right but I cannot ignore obvious collusion or re-activeness in some responses. This being specially true if it is potentially going to mislead or misrepresent Sikhism to the gullible or young. If I make errors I will take note. Be upfront let me know what brought you into this Astpadi 1 and Sabad if it was not the following post from me,
