Today I went to Gurudwara, occasion was Guru Arjun Dev Shahidi divas. The atmosphere there was great with the sound of prayers in the milieu. There was a speaker, who told in detail the story of Guru Arjun Dev's martyrdom. It was not the first time I was listening to it, but the experience was no less superb than the first time.
He then came to end by stating that Guruji has given us message of equality, he was same for both Hindus and Muslims, and he finally devoted his life for the welfare of the society. The speaker then stated that, "We are disparaging his efforts by not following the religion, by distinguishing among ourselves and ............... by cutting our hair". A smile suddenly dwelt on my lips. It was not that the comment was unexpected, but it made the whole environment inhospitable for me. His statement was to realize me that I have done something wrong. The respect that was build for the speaker suddenly debilitated. I then thought that the speaker was right, "We were not following the path of equality shown by Guru Arjun Dev, at least the speaker is not".

should have asked him a question there :)
also it is made me realize.
U did good in not asking
he would have said something
and out of respect at one point u stop arguing
and it can turn out to be very frustrating
I thought him of asking the question... but usually these discussions are one sided and the preacher is too rigid in his viewpoint that would have only made the situation worse..
Abe uska kahan bhi thik hi tha.Sab sardar pahle bade bade bal rakhte the aur pagi pahante the to sab ek jaise hi lagte the .Koi sardaron me barabar farak nahi kar sakta tha so there was some sort of equality among the sardars .
