It's in my blood, not in my hair
An amazing and daring piece on making sense of religious teachings. The Author is known to be radical, but conventionalists will find it hard to rationally disqualify his conjectures.
Me? I agree wholeheartedly. Religion is not anyone’s authority. Like the constitution, there can be a million interpretations of a document that has unquestionably been written in a completely different context. Adaptation and Progress are the keywords for our species. And they will remain to be so, no matter how many people keep banging their heads on the seats of Authority, hoping for the forthcoming generations to assiduously follow adjunct practices of their tailored religion.

I really believe you don't mean the usual and conventional meaning when you say "Souls" there.
Well, if such souls do exist, I am soon gonna try out "Tantra". They say you get face to face with them. But that is only if they exist.

You know i've noticed 2 groups forming... One group that totally neglects its history and wishes to take it's own path and then the latter which looks deeper and deeper into the past to find secrets that we have long lost...I can agree chnage is good but this path was forged of Iron and steal. Making it playable will only cause it to become weaker.

I think the question is, isn't there a middle way, for a person to be aware and be proud of his roots, and yet make his own, conscious choices in what he wants to follow, without being labeled as a dissenter?

Well everyone is alotted to their own path and it's up to every sikh to respect that but i think sikhisim being changed or modernised is not a good idea...One has to understand culture is a totaly different thing from religion culture always evolves but when one changes faith is when we become weak as a community...We all know what happened in that argument over tables & chairs
