hmm...this is my first bolg..i woke up in the morning and felt liberated for some odd reason..not sure why...may be it was due to a intellectual ( read drunk!!) discussion i had at tavern ( pub i hang out..) with one of my old sardar friends last night...it was all about the on going classhes in punjab on the dera issue... we started with history and all the reaons for it...surprisngly he was also for it!!
thts when i figured out that most of the cases the intention or idea behind the creation gets lost over a period of time and the phrills take up the main stage...hmm..let me try explaining this in details..the intention or idea behind Sikhism was..
They must observe the following guidelines. These are known as the Rahatnamas (Codes of Conduct):
Defend the weak or infirm from tyranny and oppression.
Not to remove hair from any part of the body (hair was declared sacred by the Guru).
Not to use Tobacco or other intoxicants (e.g., alcohol).
Not eat meat killed by the Halal or Kosher Methods ( ADVANCED STUDIES IN SIKHISM by Jasbir Singh and Harbans Singh.: Hukamnama written by Sri Gobind Singh ji)..
On reading these i got surprised!..is this war based on any of the above!...
now moving on to the larger issue...i used the above case as only a example..i dont wish to take any sides on the issues... with time in most case the intial ideology gets tarnished and we tend to run behind the phrills...today the whole world is on war due to religion and religio was created for peace and harmony!
we need to stop and think where we are all off too..the world has become extremelly rigid in it views and we have stopped thinking!
