I do understand your perspective, brother. However I do think a bit of forward planning and contemplation wouldn't go amiss, for as you know, Sikhi is also about practicality. For whilst having iron-clad belief in the Almighty and His ability to bestow His grace on us is undoubtedly a cornerstone of our faith, there have also been countless instances in our history where individuals have, for want of a better phrase, not sat around waiting for events to fall into place, or waited for a divine hand to direct proceedings. Yes, without a doubt, nothing is beyond His control and reach, but WE mortals are required to act in those situations which require Waheguru to work through us to effect change. Waiting for God to "show his hand" in situations that don't require direct heavenly intervention, i.e. situations in which Man can easily bring about change through determination and nous - no matter what the odds - is tantamount to showing the very lack of faith you decry. Burying our heads in the sand and believing the old mantra of "it'll be alright on the night" is, as I said, a very dangerous game to play. If recent Sikh history has proven anything, we are sadly not always blessed with victory.
