Your Not A Sikh, Nor You, Nor You, Or Even You!

[AK-47]

Remember, if you don't have anything good to say about yourself, then it's best not to say anything at all. I just get sad when I read this stuff.

No offence brother, but have you not read in Gurbani how guru sahib talks about himself in bairaag and nimrata avastha? Maharajh calls himself a dog at some points! This is not as you would say 'a good thing to say about yourself' so would you not read that particular bit of gurbani?

I will see if i can find that vaar by bhai gurdas ji for you and you see what he says about himself.

At this point in our young lives we need to develop honest humilty not even bigger egos than we already have. But notice the HONEST humility and not the fake type. Only way to do this is look at your true self by self reflection.

[Guest peacemaker]

OK, I got pretty much the standard responses I already knew. Thanks guys, I'm good now, or shall I say I'm humbled now!

i agree with ak 47 tht we shud judge our own faults before others

however maybe announcing them on a forum isnt the best way to do it

because even admitting your faults could give you ego, because you beleive that you are being humble

im not saying that will happen, just that it could, if you know that it wont, then chalo, post ahead

if we was humble we wouldn't have these mistakes
