Hi, i wanted to know, the answers u give? How do u know? Ok you of course get it from the Guru Granth Saib, and the gurus wrote the granth. So my question is how did the Gurus know about death, soul, birth, and the meaning of life?

Also i know we can not cut our hair, because hair is alive, but nails are alive to because nails grow? So should we not cut our nails? I am born in a sikh family, but i don;t think i belive everything. I belive people are all equal because there is one god that created all and as long as you help and be nice toeach other, that is all. I think relgion is man made. Like what will happen to all white, black and chinese that do not beleive int he sikh relgion?
Bye, thanks

You are right. We are all one people, white, black, chinese. Only a few people can be Sikhs. See the goodness in yourself and then you can see goodness all around.

A God conscious person is not necessarily any particular religion. Many religious people are not even God conscious.

If you cannot see God in all, then you cannot see God at all.

Try meditating and having an experience. The intuition and wisdom is all inside each one of us. When we apply ourselves to a spiritual practice and a dicipline all this information comes flowing through us. I share my experience of expanded comsciousness with you. If I did not meditate daily and have the Guru as my barometer or guide...I would be immersed in doubt and confusion.

"Practice makes the man perfect....that is why Guru Gobind Singh gave us the "Rehit", it is a standard of living.

You can bark and be called a bitch, or you can sing Gurbani and be called divine.
Your action and reaction defines your life. The forklift of time has put you on the path of Dharma. You can use it or loose it.
