SOME POSSIBLE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER ARE:

  1. What is the purpose of life?
  2. What help or responsibility to others do we have regarding Life?

(1). PURPOSE OF LIFE: “GOVIND MALLON KE EHE THREE WIARIA” ‘AGGS’: MEAMS: Life is an opportunity given to us to meet God, father of us all and liberate the Self from the cycle of life and death merging with the spirit of Almighty God. Life is obtained as a result of countless virtuous deeds performed in the previous his or her life.

  1. WHAT HELP OR RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHERS DO WE HAVE REGARDING Life:

Human life is a process of interaction between his fellow beings and numerous objects of the world?  Human is made of and governed by five (5) elements; Anger, Attachment, Ego, Greed and Lust, created by free will interact with Objects seen or unseen. Proper use of each element becomes productive and virtuous in the society and brings internal peace that lead to Balanced Personality, Self Contentment and Compassions. Excessive use of each element brings imbalance in mental attitude where Love, the most beautiful gift we are given to share turns into INSATIABLE DESIRES.

EXAMPLE: An object seen or unseen draws attention, attention grows into desire of mind, (desire part of creative energy, seed of life) desire creates liking, liking grows into passion, passion produces restlessness, and restlessness breeds destructions.  The element, anger, which was given to  protect his or her honor, dignity, and  the poor, the downtrodden, equality and justice for all,  now is seen working as a devil within. Remember, the Satan, the Devil does not exist outside but lives within each of us.    

Be like a cloud in the sky tossing over all geographical boundaries. You are a Window to see through and  a Gate opened to all to bring in and capsulate the spirit into Oneness and create an opportunity to cultivate CULTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS for all mankind regardless of any: Language, Age, Color, Caste, Creed, Religion and Nationality. This way the Crusade of Interfaith we all  are in will translate all human Energy and Momentum into passion and help establish concrete code of behavior and awaken the National & International Consciousness and help assist living together in harmony and establish world  peace.

LIFE OF A SIKH: Religious discipline and code of conducts ordained by the Prophet Guru Gobind Singh,  remind them daily to follow the path of righteousness and their moral and social responsibilities towards their fellow beings that: The Sikhs shall safeguard the interest of the week and the lowly and protect the honor and chastity of woman. Earn their livelihood by honest means, sharing with the needy ones, meditating on God’s ‘NAME’, compassion, equality and justice for all remain their guiding factors in life.                Life of a Sikh is regulated by the eternal wisdom revealed in Sikh Holy Scriptures, (living Guru) called: Adi Guru Granth Sahib (AGGS), Recitation of divine word daily in the lives enriches the self with the knowledge of:  Oneness of God – Universal Brotherhood of Mankind – Fatherhood of One God.
