randip can you expalin how you came to the conclusion that the references to heavens is "metaphoric"?

lets not super-impose our own opinions on thing we don't accept.

and where are you coming up with this dimension stuff from?

The closest representation I have seen to what the Sri Guru Granth Sahib states as different realms of existence are different dimensions. I don't hold with the view that they are heaven or hell in the biblicle sense. That too me would be a cop out. The Guru's refer to God as Akal Poorakh = Beyond, Space and Time.......i.e. beyond the realms of those dimensions. For something to exist beyond that is just incredible.....and for the Guru's to describe God as that is just incredible and a revelation. :lol:

There are other refrences in the Guru Granth Sahib ji that refers to existence coming from nothing......sounds very similar to theories surrounding the big bang. I was in a study group with some Sikh physicists a while ago and some of the refrences in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji to the Universe and its make up are only being realise now by the scientific community. For me the world is just catching up with what Guru's knew and understood.

With regard to metaphors....in the scientific community sometimes we say "Oh look at the heavens above".....when gazing at the stars. That does not mean we are gazing at heaven in the Christian sense, but gazing at the stars. Have I made myself clearer. I also think when reading the Sri Guru Granth Sahib it is important to get an idea of the context in which Guru ji is talking.........one line or a few words quoted of ten take the entire paragraph out of context.

I don't know if that's true. Are you sure you're not confusing that with pareeism?

Well, I got a few Christian friends and thats how they explained the Angels to me. One of them studied to be a Minister, but after getting his doctorate he switched to Buddism... LOL.gif

Sorry I shouldn't laugh but he makes me laugh when he tells me.

    • back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc    nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.    
    • i live close by and yea all the gurudwarehs around these parts are run down it’s sad
    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
