| I'm curious to know who writes this kind of thing. Sometimes people who are learning to be Sikh ask me questions like this. I usually respond by saying "Sikhs do not believe in meaningless ritual". If someone says, 'true Sikhs eat from iron', ask why. If they give you a good reason for eating from iron, then trust it isn't a meaningless practice, but realize our Gurus did not give such specific instructions. Not to say that these questions shouldn't be asked, but sometimes they just seem so ridiculous. I also usually tell people that Sikhism is a practical religion, we don't have strange lifestyle restrictions like fasting and eating foods that have to be specially prepared. Our Gurus told us to live the life of a householder, but most important are the spiritual directives they gave us. In my opinion 'true Sikhs' concern themselves with truth more than with iron. It is with this attitude and the attitude that our only authorities are God and Guru, that these things should be questioned. |
