Religion v/s Spirituality

[Guest guest]

Our beloved Pradeep wrote > Well, I didnt know that this forum was to

discuss only hinduism. I thought spirituality is not bound to any

specific religion.

Alakh Niranjan,>>>

 

And By writing this he has knowingly/unknowingly raised a very

important point. What is difference between being religious and

being spiritual. What is the difference between religion and

spirituality.

 

Most of the spiritual myths are generated by Religious people.

Like in sikhism, anybody smoking is thought to be a devil and not fit

for advancement. In muslim those who drink are from enemy of Satan

etc etc

 

In all religions, we have these myths. Some myths we saw here

hurled against me. Now perhaps if we can distinguish between

Religion and Spirituality, we can solve this problem.

 

Is anybody replying?

vahe guru jee,

 

Guru Nanak Dev ji, while talkling to his muslim disciple

Mardana who asked"Which religion is better" Guru Nanak Dev jee

beautifully explained

 

Avval Allah Noor Upaya

Kudarat de sab Bande

Aik noor se sab Jag upjaya

Kon Bhale Kon Mandey

Sab Data de Bandey

 

The supreme God lit a beautiful Candle (Jyoti), (and the

Universe was born)

All are creation of Mother Nature

Since one Jyoti (divine light) is creator of all

whom can we say good and whom bad

All are children of God.

 

As Doctor Mahip Singh, Head of Department of Hindi, University

of Delhi wrote in his article Babarnama

 

Guru Nank dev ji was very sad on the attacks of Babar on India.

He wrote " Babar came and destroyed my beautiful country. The women

whose fingers were not seen by outsiders, are lying in pool of blood

after being raped by Babar's army. Muslims children were even not

spared and brutally killed. O God if you are with Babar, why you

were not with these poor children of India"

 

Here Guru Nanak dev ji does not criticise Babar being a muslim

but as an invader. He is equally sad over plight of Hindus as well

as muslims.

 

DHAN DHAN BABA NANAK PRAGATEYA JAG CHANANA HOVA

 

Blessed guru Nank dev ji incarnated and the world got the

divine light

 

again many good wishes on Guru Nanak's birthday and thanks for

listening to me

 

Bole so nihaal Sat sri Akaal
