First rule:Love God with your whole heart. Second rule: Love your neighbor (all your fellow human beings) as you love yourself. If you only practice these two things, Christianity is beautiful. But the original message got lost over time and became overshadowed by demands for conformity. The rituals people once did as small reminders of their faith became the focus. Professed "believers" who don't actually obey the teachings of their teacher are now choosing to "honor" their radical love doctrine by finding reasons to only love and respect those who agree with them 100%. Nowadays people would rather not be associated with a religion that has a reputation for hypocrisy, discrimination, and so many countless other terrible things. Sikhi is a good fit for those who have that true love for the Creator and the desire to serve their fellow man (or woman). The fact that seva is such an important part of Sikhi is so beautiful to me. I am so grateful to be called to learn at the Guru's feet.
Christians becoming Sikh
in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
