Thank you veerji but I am not very clear on this subject. Is it possible that one might have haume and no dubidha Like other rogs or branches of haume they fade away and in end haume fades away so will dubhida go away before haume or not. Also there are other terms like Sahsa/ Sansa/ Chinta in gurbani are they also other terms for dubidha. I need a detail veechar on dubidha, what you have wriby gk - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Is dubhida rog separate than haumai or is it one part of it? On ang 238 pancham pat shah talks about it in detail. It seems like haumai and dubidha are separate. If they are separate than which is greater rog? More shabads on this subject will be appreciated.by gk - Gurmat Discussion Forum

This is how I will respond to my childs inqisitive mind. I would say so who do you think provides us with water, air, food and most important Swas (life). Child's answer should be God or vaheguru.

Sure Gursikho whatever you say is right no body can parallel our Guru sahiban and our shaheeds and our history.
