Tejwant ji:
I don't know why you repeat your question when I am sure you know the answer. Are you a lawyer? Your question had no place in our discussions that I could see. I have also been through this drill with Muslims as well.
Pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I do not know either, why you are reluctant to responding and teaching us about your religion. If I had known the answers, there would have been no reason for me to ask you the questions. False assumptions by you once again and you claim to be a private investigator which is interesting to say the least.
What does Islam have to do with Sikhi and what kind of drill are you talking about? Stop with your riddles and be direct and honest about things. Your false assumptions make no sense.
You seem angry and I thought any religion one adheres to, should give the follower the tools to get rid of anger and also teach to give the benefit of the doubt. My bad. It seems that whatever faith you belong to does not do that. Or atleast you have shown your contempt when asked directly about your own faith.
The only reason for me to repeat my question is to learn from you about your religion. As you have asked things that you did not know about Sikhi in this forum, so, I do not know why this insecurity of responding about your own faith and why show this acerbic nature when asked a direct question?
As mentioned before, you always claim to know more about others than about yourself.
So let me ask you again:
Who wrote Lord Shiva's story and when and why was it written and what kind of documentation is there to back the story up?
Also you said:
"As mentioned before in my posts to you, SGGS is not any one's private or monopolised scripture unlike the Hindu scriptures which were not allowed to be read by anyone else but the Brahmins. SGGS is for all to savour. Goodness is like the scent of a flower which emits itself in all directions sans bias. So when you say it is not your scripture, you are misleading yourself. As said before, knowledge is everyone's friend. It is a personal choice of the individual to become open minded or remain parochial and the latter is what breeds bias and preconcieved superficial notions."
The first sentence of the above quote raises the question what century are you living in?
What does time have to do with my question? Can you please elaborate that? Your claim makes no sense to me. So, I need your help in understanding it.
More importantly it reveals a contempt for my faith that you have been trying to hide and frankly it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Once again you have claimed as your habit has shown in the past, to know more about others than about yourself, which is a shame. You mean stating the facts is a wrong thing?
Sorry to know that the truth about caste system and that only the Brahmins could read the Hindu scriptures leaves a bad taste in your mouth and rightfully so, it should. Caste system is the worst kind of Apartheid and it is a shame that you want to hold on to it despite being a convert to Hinduism.
The fact is that Bhagat Ravidas, whose writings are in SGGS was not allowed to enter any temple because of his low caste.
Your comments show that you are not bothered by that but rather ok with it which is a sad thing to notice.
Now, which century you said we were living in?
Your tactics are not new all being done with a smile on your face and the mantra "this is how we learn." Your "This is how we learn" is really let me tell you.
How else do we learn if not by asking questions and expecting honest answers? Please share your wisdom about it. You seem to assume too much and one can see that.
That is why you call yourself a private investigator where assumptions are the norms or the exceptions?
What's more I don't want to be converted.
Thanks for showing once again your insecurity about yourself and your faith again. No one is converting anyone. Sikhi is not about converting anyone. Let me repeat it, your preconceived wrong notions about Sikhi say something and show more about you, and the superficiality that you practice.
It is you who have repeatedly talked about your faith in this forum. One can blame you for actually trying to convert others here to your Shivling ( Shiva's Phallus) fantasies, but as Sikhs we are open minded and let people express themselves about their faiths in this forum. Your posts would indicate that.
Now, relax, take it easy and start practicing what you preach. Faith is not about being a private investigator and jumping to conclusions without any basis.
Faith is about being honest with yourself and giving the benefit of the doubt to others.
Regards.
Tejwant Singh
