Is Honey Okay For Sikhs?

[Guest Honey freakkk]

Is honey OKAY for sikhs as it is extrated by killings loads of madhu makhiyan....and those who survive are homeless.

Why do people make them homeless just for their taste?

Salok, First Mehla:

If one accepts the concept of impurity, then there is impurity everywhere.

In cow-dung and wood there are worms.

As many as are the grains of corn, none is without life.

First, there is life in the water, by which everything else is made green.

How can it be protected from impurity? It touches our own kitchen.

O Nanak, impurity cannot be removed in this way; it is washed away only by spiritual wisdom. ||1||

How the above is related to the question posed by the original poster?

He is not talking about impurity. He is talking about making the bees homeless and killing them for TASTE and showoff (silk).

Well for honey, at least in North America the bees aren't killed: they are put to sleep using smoke, the honey is taken from the hive, and then the smoke is removed, and the bees continue on their way.

As for silk, you are right, the cocoon is usually boiled to kill the moth inside to preserve a single long silk thread, and then unraveled.

[Guest Guest]

People eat honey for taste sake and they can LIVE without it. The analogies above doesn't fit.

Also, as ants, bees doesn't count, how big the "animal" should be ..... so that it is justified to kill or make it homeless for taste sake?

Also, silk is worn just for showoff...i mean people can live without it (with cotton or synthetic clothes). Are sikhs allowed to wear umm.
