Even He tried to figure out a woman"

Meerabhai
[Note: this story was told orally as a legend. Therefore there are discrepancies depending on the area of India in which the story was told. Although parts of the story may seem like myth, it is important to understand that this is how stories were relayed]
Her writings were found in the Bhai Banno Bir --> the most famous and used Bir.
c.1494/1504
Mother died when Meerabhai was 2, so her Grandmother raised her.
Meerabhai would always enquire/annoy her Grandmother as to who her husband would be. Eventually, her Grandmother pointed at an idol of Krishna (that had been passed down to Meerabhai by her mother) and said "Your Groom will be Krishna". It was via this idol of Krishna that she achieved realisation and hence worshipped the all-pervasive God.
She took the idol with her on her wedding (at the age of 8!). Being a Rajput and marrying into a Rajput family, this was highly offensive as higher caste Rajputs traditionally worshipped Durga.
She was steadfast in her rsolve towards Krishna which created many problems within the household. Krishna was seen as an idol of the poor. What compounded matters more was that she was also a follower of Naamdev, Guru to the low castes. This caused her to be shunned by all her family (her own and her in-laws).
For a Rajput, honour is everything. Her in-laws wanted her dead but could not find an excuse to do so. Once, they heard a male voice coming from her room so they (husband and father-n-law) stormed in. They saw Meerabhai playing a boardgame. She was sat on one side, the idol of Krishna on the other. Legend has it that the idol of Krishna stood up and moved a piece around the board. Husband and father-in-law left, petrified.
Meerabhai would sing and dance for the idol all the time. She contemplated the one-ness of Waheguru via that idol (more later).
Her husband died some years later. As was customary at this time, Meerabhai was expected to commit sati. She refused because her real husband was Krishna....not the man that she gave her body to. To the Rajputs, this was absolutely disgraceful. Her father-in-law ordered his bodyguards to kill her. At this point it must be emphasised how loyalty and obedience by a bodyguard to his king was absolute. These men would never refuse a task. If they were told to bring a glass of warm water and brought cold by mistake, they would be killed; such was the level of obedience that they had to adhere to. But Meerabhai was held in such high regard, that the bodyguards refused to kill her.
Eventually, her father-in-law went up to her and ASKED HER something. This in itself was shocking; given the time, space and circumstances of that period. For a father-in-law to ASK for something from his daughter-in-law shows how desperate he had become. He asked her to do one thing for him ----> kill herself. (he did say something else, but I forgot! sorry!) She agreed to do this on the condition that she returned home to say her goodbyes. Upon returning to her family, she was met with a 'frosty' reception. They all told her that she should kill herself to save their honour. Meerabhai went to a river and jumped in. Miraculously, the river carried her to the other side and she survived. It was then that she realised that Krishna was a manifestation of the omnipotent One. From worshipping an idol, she realised the One All-pervasive Lord. She spent the rest of her life preaching/dancing.

Again, therein lies our dispute. If you harbour these views then why not take them up in the thread whose link I provided?
I personally disagree with your notion that Khalsa and Sikhs are the same; my personal belief is that a Khalsa is a Sikh, but a Sikh is not necessarily Khalsa.
Being a Sikh is not a physical characteristic, it iinvolves the internal state of mind.
