Message: <blockquote data-quote="arshi" data-source="post: 189432" data-attributes="member: 9479">spadmin ji Gur Fateh You are going back a few years. I had an interesting and educational dialogue with both Sahni ji and Tejwant ji. The thread came to an abrupt end, as we felt that there was not much more to add. I did post a link to my article ‘Egotism and Falsehood’ which in my opinion also answered some of the questions raised by Tejwant ji. I did not get further response from Tejwant ji. In response to my PM, he quite rightly felt that the discussion was bordering on to the argumentative (probably due to my inability to satisfactorily answering his questions) and nothing further was to be gained from the discussion. I have nothing but utter respect for Tejwant ji, Narayanjyot Kaur ji, Sahni ji and others who contributed to this thread.  At the moment, I am not sure I can add very much to what I said earlier, even less on the new questions listed by you as I am not into Vedic theologies. My articles are based totally on my understanding (which may be not always be correct) of Guru Granth Sahib and articles, discourses and books of learned parcharaks and authors on Sikhi. This brings to mind an urdu shere: Jo afsana kisee anjaam tak lanaa na ho mumkinoosey ik khoobsooat mor de kar shorna achccha A story (an affair in the movie) which cannot be brought to a proper conclusion is best abandoned by giving it a beautiful twist (turning). However, when I feel more enlightened I hope to revisit Pauris 34-37 and undertake a thorough study and translation of the same, possibly, with references to other parts of Guru Granth Sahib. I never have, nor will have any desire to sit at the feet of saint in Benares, or Amritsar for that matter. I am a staunch believer in the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib and other related Sikh scriptures. The bottom line I think is the understanding of the mind (mann) and how to overcome its constant restlessness in our spiritual quest towards Sat. I do look forward to contribute related and other articles if the SPN sangat is willing to tolerate me. <img src="/images/smilies/sikhsmileys/soccersingh.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":soccersingh:" title="Soccersingh    :soccersingh:" data-shortname=":soccersingh:" /> With deepest of respect and bhul chuk khima Rajinder Singh ‘Arshi’ </blockquote>
