Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Everybody Knows the Great Sikh Guru , Sri Guru Nanak. Mardhana was a disciple of Sri Guru Nanak. He saw the rivers of blood flowing when Babar had cut his murderous way through West Punjab. He saw that many innocents had perished in this onslaught. Anguish racking his heart, he asked his guru, “Why have so many innocents been murdered? Where is the justice in this?“ Sri Nanak showed Mardhana a fig tree and told him to wait there as he was going away on some work. He said that he would give the answer to Mardhana’s question when he returned. As Mardhana was resting in the shade of the tree an ant bit him. Mardhana was beside himself with anger and he killed not only that ant but also all the ants he could find near him. Sri Nanak returned and said, “Why did you kill so many innocent ants along with the ant which bit you? Now do you know why the innocent of the world are killed along with those who are guilty?” Regds Chakradhar - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 Question: Are there really " innocent " people who don't reap what they've sowed from this life or the past? At another level- Who dies? Who is innocent? Who is making these observations? If you think that you're the body, then you only see the body dying. It's the birthless, deathless spirit manifest in all that is the real Self. The question itself is wrong. Should one get upset because you change your clothes sooner rather than later? " The body will survive as long as it is needed. It is not important that it should live long.
