Rituals and mythologies may differ, but the essential philosophy of all Indian streams of religious thought converge at the same point.
Allegory and anthropomorphism are alternatives for the laity to seek audiences with the Divine, but all forms of worship from India recognize the universal dimensions of truth in the Word of God.
One of the best ways to reach the ultimate goal of salvation is to see God in people. One reason why Indians of all faiths love the Sikh Gurus is that all but one of them were ordinary humans like any of us. The last is eternal and resides in the form of Scripture.
The lives of past Sikh Gurus inspire us, because we know that it is possible to copy them, and thereby to achieve the highest goals for any mortal.
The Living Guru is available every day at all Gurudwaras.
It is fortunate that Sikhs have spread so far and wide on Mother Earth, because the Living Guru is available in most secular fashion.
The Japji Sahib is a short introduction to the Living Guru. Its daily recitation helps us deal with all the people we encounter as we would treat God. It is also an inspiring representation of the religious tolerance that has bound the people of India together for eons and for all time to come.
Do you recite the Japji Sahib every day? Would you like to do so? Perhaps there is another enchanting way to worship humans as God that you can share with our web community.
