Beast Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 depends on your intentions. It's like when a person wears simple clothes to appear outwardly humble...that in itself is ego. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Amrik Sehan, Langar should be eaten on the floor...being humble or not being humble its not a issue here. Its about principles(maryada) which is going on from Guru's time. Let me ask you this. If Guru can sit on the floor and eat langar then why can't his sikhs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhWannaBe Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Amrik Sehan, Langar should be eaten on the floor...being humble or not being humble its not a issue here. Its about principles(maryada) which is going on from Guru's time. Let me ask you this. If Guru can sit on the floor and eat langar then why can't his sikhs? I have to respectfully disagree with you here. I spent half my langar eating life sitting at a table and the other half sitting on the floor. I felt no difference in my 'humbleness'. But I do remember one difference, that being that we sat in the langar hall alot longer when we sat at tables. We talked to the congregation more and generally socialized. In temples where I sat on the floor there seems to be one thing on everones mind, 'I have got to get out of here'. And frankly, Guru Nanak Ji didn't have the privilege of being able to sit on a modern toilet. I suggest that if you want to really live the humble life of Guru Nanak Ji, maybe you should shun that toilet in your house and go do your business outside. I hate rituals! As far as the original post, I think it is fantastic and also shows that Guru Nanak Ji was clearly thinking about feeding all humanity not just sikhs. Therefore, a movement towards eradication of humans starving ought to be a priority for all Sikhs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic_Banda Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 we may have become modern in that we use toilets.. but we still kept the maryada of washing and not wiping !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
