It appears these people
have claimed ownership upon the Sikh faith to decide how people must respect
the holy book. Are they going to ban all those who eat meat and eggs and also
drink alcohol from entering the Gurdwaras? If they do, then most of the
Gurdwara will be deserted, and without the donations, it will be impossible for
the Gurdwaras to remain open for much longer.
According to the Sikh
faith, there is no restriction against entering Gurdwaras after eating meat or
eggs as the body is the flesh itself. These fanatics misrepresent the teachings
of our Gurus and interpret them according to their limited vision and common
sense.
Most of the Sikhs in
the Indian Armed Forces eat eggs, meat and enjoy drinks and still carry Sikh
holy scripture with them and even to the battlefields
An approach to religion
should be user friendly to attract maximum followers. The Sindhi believe in
Guru Nanak and have Guru Granth Sahib in their homes. Are they to be forbidden
to keep the holy book too?
Sikh Gurus were precise
that our relationship with our maker is direct and we do not need
intermediaries to connect us with the Almighty. These misguided Sikhs are going
to Talibanise our faith with the dire consequence to the reputation for our
modern and progressive religion.
Gurus further said, who
are we to judge others as the Supreme Lord judges us. If we do not see God in
all, then we do not see God at all. According to Guru Granth Sahib, the fools
argue about flesh and meat, but they know nothing about meditation and spiritual
meditation.
Finally, Edmund Burke said, “for evil to flourish, all it takes is for good people to do nothing”. Those Sikhs who do not condemn such ridiculous and incorrect interpretations of our faith, propagated by a few lackluster Sikhs, will damage the shining light of our faith and it will make it difficult for our next generations to follow and practice.
Sikh Gurus proclaimed,
Manus Ki Jaat Sabe Eke Pehchanbo. (Oneness of the human race).
