Science Vs. Sikhi


Recommended Posts

Dear Bhajneet ji and Parwinder Singh ji

God did not make us with cloths, but we do wear them , so these kind of arguments are emotional and sentimental but they don’t come near the Valid reason which is, it is a stamp of Guru Sahib and this seal of Guru is more worth then any other argument.

It is not essential that every thing we do in life have to be just fit with the science. Love, affection and devotion are not concepts of Science they are human needs and attributes so don’t just try to see things from one angle, Neither Sikhism nor life is one dimensional there are many dimensions and point of views you can see things to have just one view of purely science will be a great mistake for anybody to make.

Thanks and bul chuck maf.

God gave us brains, the better to reason out what we need to do survive. Clothes are there to keep us warm in the winter, protect us from bugs and parasites, and all around giving us another layer so that we don't get cut up too badly. Supposing that we didn't have brains, we'd be stuck in the stone age, and I doubt we'd be having this discussion, and humanity's numbers probably wouldn't be as large and population wouldn't have spread so far. A lot of people will argue that this is just evolution at work, and has nothing to do with God, but who's to say that God didn't create the system that drives evolution? Sure, not everything we do has to fit in with science, but to ignore science is to ignore reason. Sikhi has been a very forward looking religion, and science always eventually comes around to fit in with what sikhi has to say.

Dear Bhajneet Ji,

I am not getting the clear idea of what you are trying to say, Please my dear brother just explain your view point in bit more details.

Dear Smart Singh Ji,

I never said to ignore the Science and your comments (“but to ignore science is to ignore reason”) some how imply that I am hinting toward that. All I have said that there are other ways to look at things, not always you can see from Science, Some things are not area of Science as, Love, affection and devotion..

If I have missed something then please point out my comments where I have implied that , I do and can make many mistake so please just indicate that to me.

Thanks

Kulwinder Singh

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
