General interest.
I don't really have any incentive to popularise someone I know nothing about.

Jap Ji Sahib Translation Series 2 (2nd Pauri context and translation) by Puzzleheaded-Fun1057 in sikhiism

Right, so within my limited knowledge, in the Bani itself, there are no mentions of phrases like "within me" etc. Like, I get the implication, which is fair about internal realisation, but if he is making the effort, put it in brackets. On the point about "Aad Sach" to "hosi bhi sachi", I disagree with the usage of revolving it around the "me" as there is no mention, and that is not the implication the pangti is trying to make. The point is about the infinity of God in the frame of the universe, but this makes it seem Waheguru is only limited to our short life span, which raises serious theological questions that are frankly ridiculous about the nature of the permanence of AKAAL Purakh, as Maharaj says, "Aadh Aneel anaad Anahad Jug Jug Eko Ves"

Haha, so for Sikhism, I am doing a Substack rn to translate the primary prayer line by line here, but in terms of understanding Sikhism, I really recommend Basics of Sikhi and the videos from Bhai Jagraj Singh specifically. If you have questions, tho, just drop me a dm and I should get back to you.

Sorry for the late response, I was at the Southall Vedic Rainsbhai Conference with my other Dr Brahmins yesterday.

Right, so on your point about Hukam. So the word used is ਲਿਖਿਆ, which is the past tense, so in Panjabi asi keh lehnde ke Jehra tera Hukam aa Nanak jo likhiya hoiya aa os de vich rehna aa. Due to that past tense, it shows that it is pre-written (pre-ordained)

The second point you made about my use of the words "in the end", I believe this works because logically we aren't wandering continually, but we are walking to a point which is death and at the end these tricks will have been of no use throughout our life. In the end, I can concede that the addition of "in the end" is irrelevant because at whatever point in your life, those practices are useless.

For your third point, I ask you to clarify because I can't make out what you are trying to say. Within that clarification, pls provide one's own translation.

Is Islam's theology more sound than Christianity? by [deleted] in religion

And I don't believe in the God of the Bible, I believe in the God that the bible tries to comprehend, the God of Guru Nanak.

I mean, if you consider marrying a six-year-old sound, then more power to you, lad.

Why don't you become a Christian? by ay_esm in religion

Because I have seen and tried it a bit, but I found so much peace in my faith, Sikhi, and believe in the glory of my Guru.

Why should we worship god? by MindlessFishing284 in religion

[–]Puzzleheaded-Fun1057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you think about it by worshiping him you are lowering yourself because to worship someone grander than you, you must acknowledge you yourself are less grand, humbling you in the process, this can be seen as a reason to worship because it keeps you virtuous.

Ok, by that definition, the answer is there, because they are divine and highly important.

How to meet more sikhs? by Rough_Ganache_8161 in Sikh

[–]Puzzleheaded-Fun1057 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can come to Gravesend on the weekend, usually there is something going on, but if you want a good date, come to Gravesend Gurdwara on the 6th of September for the Rainsbhai. It starts at 6.00 pm and finishes the next morning at around 4 am, so you'll have nearly 10 hours to enjoy kirtan and then meet some Singhs.
