“The problem is you are only following a watered down”
In Dharma nothing is followed or believed everything is to seek.
One should understand the difference between “LITERALISM AND FIGURATIVISM” The text is purely figurative it deals with taboo, duality, human behaviour etc etc. Even with Gurbani people can’t differentiate between what is literal and what is figurative, these two being the obvious parallels to be understood. In short and as a whole this mentality goes to demonstrate the key issue amongst a growing number of people, an inability to understand not just in literature and education but sadly amongst ourselves between people.
In Dharma we understand it’s more important how we treat one another rather than anything we may do for ourselves including practice, path, pooja, prayers or whatever.
I would just like to say before anyone follows or believes anything they should seek its true nature first, including your own self. Otherwise you will get people who will tell you “we’re under attack” or “we’re sinning” believe this, follow that. Wear this colour wear this Bana. We all know how it plays out. Essentially we’re just replicating others both physically and mentally take a look, you know what I mean.
Take a look at your own “true” nature first, there you will find everything. There the external Guru and the Internal Guru meet, but by your own choice this can be done.
Peace
