Summary of Question:	Re: Radha Soami
Category:	General Sikhism
Date Posted:	Thursday, 8/07/2003 12:25 PM MDT

I really enjoy this site but lately I am noticing that some people are criticising more than sharing knowledge. If I remember once - some moderator had answered a question (regarding the beleif of radha soami) about what sikh faith was and I assumed that the person who asked about radha soami atleast knew about their faith and just was not sure about the sikh faith;else like the moderator said - for these things we should use library and other sources, they are not here to do our homework. Also, think yourself, this is posted on a site that is accessable worldwide and to comment on such things one has to be careful.Agree everyone has their own opinions and it is a free country but still being little logical does not hurt.

Even though the person (not moderator) who replied to the original email is saying that this is a youth site, but how does one know that all those who ask and answer questions are youth. I am not,I am a grownup 40 some year old adult and there is no filteration for my access. SO, be careful and read your email twice before clicking the submit button if all makes sense about what you are asking/commenting keeping not just yourself in mind but the whole picture persay. Sorry to be a little harsh (I guess being a mother I have that natural instinct) but I can tell from some questions that they are not youth related. I really admire the moderators how well they answer and if sometimes your question is not answered then do not get offended rather think that it might not be appropriate to discuss on this worldwide web.Learn to be understanding, that is the beauty of any person (sikh or non sikh) that will make you a gem in the eyes of people and this kind of behaviour will give you inner peace and satisfaction which is way higher than any religion or faith.Always put yourself in the persons place for a second and then react.(be fair it will only help you subconsciously which is what anyone should care/worry about as that is what one lives with for the rest of their life).
This is the advice I give my children and any that I come across.(I was a high school teacher in India before I moved to US).SO, you young youth listen to someone who has been there. God bless you all (I said God because there could be a hindu, muslim, christian or any other faith person reading this and it applies to all).

Sat Siri Akaal. Thank you for your comments. We have no way of knowing, sometimes, how old the one posting a query is. Moderators take the approach that the need is there, and answer accordingly. Sometimes the need is critical, in fact, and we are here to serve.
