veerji, rather than remove everyone with a dissenting opinion, isn't it better to encourage them onto the right path?
i used to be the "bad" one on the forums... i was new to sikhi, there was much i didn't understand, and like most (spiritual) children, i thought i knew everything. i used to eat meat, and argued with gursikhs that it was ok to eat meat! i argued strongly about a lot of things, and most of the time i was simply wrong.
but through these interactions i learned some things. i started to see that i could respect and learn from the gursikh sangat on these forums. slowly i turned around. now i'm 180 degrees from where i started, and much of that is because my experiences on the forums made me stop and think, made me research, read gurbani, and learn.
this forum is unique in that it doesn't have a lot of loud voices arguing every little detail. as we say, it has a "high signal to noise ratio". that's a wonderful thing, and i hope this forum can be useful to sikhs at every level, from just expressing interest to gurmukh. we can all learn something from each other.
i understand that when someone slanders a gurmukh it's painful to see. but we can't let it get under our skin to the extent that we become obsessed with it. we must learn to let it go. do ardaas for that person and move on.
ਰਾਗੁ ਬਸੰਤੁ ਹਿੰਡੋਲ ਮਹਲਾ ੯ ॥
Raag Basant Hindol, Ninth Mehl:
ਸਾਧੋ ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਜਾਨਉ ॥
O Holy Saints, know that this body is false.
ਯਾ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਜੋ ਰਾਮੁ ਬਸਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਾਚੋ ਤਾਹਿ ਪਛਾਨੋ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
The Lord who dwells within it - recognize that He alone is real. ||1||Pause||
ਇਹੁ ਜਗੁ ਹੈ ਸੰਪਤਿ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਕੀ ਦੇਖਿ ਕਹਾ ਐਡਾਨੋ ॥
The wealth of this world is only a dream; why are you so proud of it?
ਸੰਗਿ ਤਿਹਾਰੈ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਚਾਲੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਕਹਾ ਲਪਟਾਨੋ ॥੧॥
None of it shall go along with you in the end; why do you cling to it? ||1||
ਉਸਤਤਿ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਦੋਊ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਰਤਿ ਉਰਿ ਆਨੋ ॥
Leave behind both praise and slander; enshrine the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises within your heart.ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਮੈ ਪੂਰਨ ਏਕ ਪੁਰਖ ਭਗਵਾਨੋ ॥੨॥੧॥
O servant Nanak, the One Primal Being, the Lord God, is totally permeating everywhere. ||2||1||
i'm sorry if i've offended you... i just worry that if we start banning one person, others will soon follow and how far will it go?
