We believe there is 1 god.....however all other religions are doing their own thing but still the same path to reach that 1 god.....BUT.....for example muslims eat halal meat...so if a muslim leads a good/peaceful life but continues to eat halal meat...will he still reach this 1 god? How can this 1 god let some eat meat etc and not others?

If you believe that GOD is one, as i believe, and God is omnipresent, omnipotent, omnisient etc etc (as the SGGS mentions), then why should GOD be limtied to just nothingness, ie inner self that no one can see, feel in the material realm.

In some religions, GOD is imagined as lighting, thunder, rain, illuminisation (early Jews , OT ,NT and even Islam) etc etc.....then why cant god be a 4 headed human or a elephant (hindusm) or why can the be a he and a she at the same time...afterall, we are talking about GOD!!....why not?

We can' t say and i think it unfair to say that sikhism is the only way to GOD........i have no doubt that Guru Nanak is a realised saint and i truly respect all religion.

The essence is that all religions teach to love GOD to attain him / her / it / or both........no religion practises hatred to attain GOD.(i'm sure you agree)

Some of you have classified hinduism with ritual beleifs etc.......it reflects a very narrow perspective of your knowledge. (if you want to discusss religion, be open and not a critic)

Back to the subject, do understand that the vedic scriptures have already mentioned (if you like forecasted) guru nanaks presence in the kali age. There is no reason to deny this fact. ( No open minded sikh should)

When India was in the hands of Britain from 1760+++ (around there), in 190 years, they ripped away all of indias wealth, including the language (sanskrit... they claimed it was mere primitive language) and all of its vedic scriptures. They adulaterad all of the hindu scriptures to the point that there is so much of ambiguity / confusion in todays hindu scriptures.

I strongly advise you to avoid all books that have been endorsed by the Royal Asiatique Society, Oriental Asiatic Society and all its related links. Namely, any books endorsed by MAx Muller, Sir William Jones etc. All have beenl rigged data only to prove the Aryan invasion theory and their aim to spread Christianity in India.

Asides from the above references (if you find any), you will understand that the VEdic Sriptures, ie Upanishads, Puranas, RAmayana, Mahabarat have only love for GOD. They have been written in Sanskrit, the perfect language of the world. (the westerners have tried to avoid this fact as well but to no avail as Sanskrit is a divine work of art).

Jai Shri Ram

There are two types ones like most here obsessed with the banter of religions and life waiting for the moment, the saviour, the prophecy, the god in some form or another. But they wait too scared to step up to the mark. Religion God and Guru is for them just a fragile security.

The second cares nothing for the religious ritualistic belief systems, nothing for life nothing for death they realise the god within and simply wish to merge with that which is unbound and limitless.

A Sikh has no prohibitions no rules no regulations A True Sikhs life is living consciously what they do is out of realisation of the ultimate truth.

A step in to the infinite is a step within. So understand the limited mind, the limited body, the limited self created personality, In yourself is God, be this and be free.

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
