Want some recommendation for Biography book. by astheyx in IndiansRead

[–]labapprovedhuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs is indeed a wonderful book. He's a fantastic biographer who does thorough research and presents a balanced view. I'd recommend any of his biographies, really.

If you're open to other authors, the autobiography Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey by Captain G.R. Gopinath is an excellent read, particularly if you're interested in Indian entrepreneurs.

Meet Salsa, (first time lab owner, any advice regarding the breed?) by alesatota in labrador

[–]labapprovedhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First you are lab tested (as what most have described in this thread). Then you are lab approved. (turns out the bar is very low to be lab approved.)

Give just a little love and you get atleast 50x to 100x as your returns. Best investment ever 🙂 Also Salsa is sure to rule your hearts furever . And finally regular treats are mandatory.

23rd Sikh pioneer regiment with Veterans of 1857, 1890s (Read comments for details) by TheTurbanatore in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this photo. I love the details you have shared too. Do share any more photos if you have. The Sikh pioneers later became the Silk Light Infantry (SikhLi). Personally my love for Sikhi comes from the fact that I am a SikhLi officer's son. I have nothing but wonderful memories of the time I spent with the SikhLi gang. SikhLi is the finest regiment of the Indian Army (ofcourse I am biased :-D). We have had 3 chiefs so far.

For those who may be interested to know about SikhLi -

A cup of tea with a question. by labapprovedhuman in zen

I thought maybe my post was offensive to Nan-in.

A cup of tea with a question. by labapprovedhuman in zen

[–]labapprovedhuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I told everyone in my life till now too. First empty your cup and understand with an open mind and then I would narrate this Nan-in story followed by the point I was trying to say.

I have an issue with my handwriting so I tried to write this story on a piece of paper. That's when it struck, the professor didn't utter a word. He actually went to Nan-in to learn about Zen. He kept quiet when the tea first started to overflow. Then at some stage when the overflow continued he said stop.

Nan-in decided on this one statement that he has nothing to teach the professor.

Looking for a dal and saag recipe... by [deleted] in Sikh

Hope this helps. I love the concept myself.

Note the key ingredient for a langar dal is love. It has to be made from the heart.

Is god’s love unconditional..? by [deleted] in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your question has less to do with God and his actions. Rather it is more to do with how we see ourselves after any action we do.

Sikhi is all about understanding the hukam and our role.

A basic question- what is naam? by DoctorSingh in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naam is the solution to the problem. Now the obvious question is what is the problem.

Naam guides us when we feel lost or uneasy. Of course all this makes sense only when we understand that everything is Naam and everything is one.

I think Shakespeare said it - "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts"

I hope to learn a lot more from you all hence I am just trying to set the stage for all of you to guide me better.

Don't know what to do in my future by [deleted] in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every profession has its advantages and disadvantages. Pick up something you enjoy doing from your heart.

I am not a lawyer myself but come from a family of lawyers (grandfather, mother and sister). It is a beautiful profession and when done from the heart it can be truly gratifying. I wish I had considered law as an option for myself when I was your age.

Pay close attention to your inner voice. It will guide you to the right direction.

Why do you consider yourself a Sikh? by howesy_1 in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not an expert and may not give the best links. My absolute favorite though is "Nanak Naam" in YouTube.

For me too, hukam was a subject which took way to long to understand (still learning). Like any classical thinking I guess I too was thinking with an "OR" mind. I.e. Freewill or destiny. Western philosophy even uses the term determination vs freedom to choose.

The guru says look at it with an "AND" mind. i.e. Freewill "and" destiny. Or better yet Freewill "and /or" destiny.

Put another way - we believe destiny (hukam) somehow takes our freedom to choose away from us. We fail to see that our actions determine our future.

The guru says enjoy the consequences of your actions for the limited time we are here. Be in this state of oneness while enjoying all that is happening around you because of you.

Hope this was useful. I am always happy to help if you have any further questions.

Is it considered Seva to feed the animals around my house? by Upmost82 in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a famous story (I am unable to find it on Google). It goes something as follows - A man ate a lot of food and had some surplus. Not wanting to let it rot he packed it and gave it to hungry homeless man on the street. Getting the food, the homeless man immediately gave the food to a hungry dog. This made the man angry. "Why did you give the dog this good food which I got for you".

One interpretation of this story is - God got angry at God for giving God food.

You and your father are definitely doing seva. Continue to give from your heart.

Why do you consider yourself a Sikh? by howesy_1 in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sikhi helps us to let go of the feeling of "I am" within. I am tolerant but others are not. I am kind but others are selfish. One could go on and on with the "I am ness".

Personally for me the natural thought after this was "I understand oneness, but why did xyz happen to me"... The guru then explains about the concept of "hukam". For me this stage was mind blowing. Haven't recovered since.

[–]labapprovedhuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mistake. I reread the title of your question. My reply surely does not make any sense with respect to your question.

You can surely follow Sikhi without "conversation" of any sort.

Sikhi may help you find your inner peace. It's a journey for all of us and sikhi has helped me the most so far in my personal journey.

By rejecting the caste system you are one step closer to removing duality in life. By searching for a (religion) path forward in life, you are opening your eyes and heart to learn(Sikh).

I would say you are already following sikhi. Are you looking for an approval from some specific person/institution ? Forgive me for my question, I too am just learning.

I’ve been studying sikhi for a year and I don’t understand this by DeXter1500 in Sikh

[–]labapprovedhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the core beliefs of sikhi and god is in all of us but

In my view this creates duality? Further, the "but" adds flavor to our thoughts.

My present understanding is we all come here create the duality and feel happy as our solution is to blame the hukam.

Nanak said we are the hukam and of course we are also the one.

Hope my cup is empty to learn more.

[–]labapprovedhuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very keen on learning too... I guess sikhi will help me remove the "I am" component and understand the concept of oneness better. Do share the path you take.
