Very well put. Although Gurbani is supreme and no Sikh would say otherwise let us remember that as humans living in this turbulent ocean of life we CAN learn alot from others experiences and subjects outside of religion.

People have to be careful. Do you not think that in this empirical life there are also important things for us to learn other than Bani? Look at medical science for example. I have full respect for those that spend their lives trying to find cures for diseases and illnesses. Any Gursikh who falls seriously sick and has to go hospital and is saved by a surgeon or some medicine would know that there are important things out there outside of religion. Would you call the surgeon a manmukh or teh person who has devoted his/her life to develop a medicine for teh betterment of mankind? This is not to imply that our spiritual side is in anyway unimportant but that the world around us is complex and we need to grasp this complexity and not just stay closeted up.

I remember only a few decades ago their was the image of the Khalsa that was current. It was highly idealised but still beautiful. It spoke of bravery and concern for the oppressed. When we as a community start to dogmatically and rigidly follow our faith and become blinded to the wider world around us, we will become pointless. All of the people who do lots of simran, that is just so excellent, but don't forget that achieving spirituality isn't just this. We all know that seva is a central part, that doesn't just mean serving and making langar but also wider seva to the world. Frankly Sikhs are lacking in this at the moment, thats what i feel anyway.

No offence.

One love to the Sikh nation.

A good one!
