I'm not sure we can put our differences aside long enough toi do anything. The corruption at the highest levels can be disheartening to those who just want to live a good life as devout Sikhs of the Guru.<BR/><BR/>Ah, well, let us think ahead. Let us start at the beginning. The definition of a Sikh needs to be much clarified. That's way too divisive.<BR/><BR/>How about the parts of the SRM that do not support gender equality, such as the Anand Karaj? Some of this is hidden when reading the SRM in translation. For example, in defining the Panj Piyare, the English version uses "Sikhs" whereas the Punjabi uses "Singhs." Now, you and I are Sikhs, and most certainly not Singhs!<BR/><BR/>Those are just a couple of examples. I'm sure we Sikhs couyld spend the next millenium arguing even about these points.<BR/><BR/>What to do?
