Blind Belief vs Absolute Trust : My Perspective As A sikh


(To my readers: I have changed the title of the post to suit the subject matter better.) I feel that belief, faith and trust are not interchangeable terms, but different stages between desire and destination. A wish arises as a harmless hope, and gradually turns into a stubborn passion that one easily mistakes for a […]

December, A Month Of Divine Birth & Sublime Martyrdom: A Thought As A sikh


It may seem like the law of contrariety is in force when observing the two divergent events marked in the same month of December by two different religious bases: the birth of Jesus and the martyrdom of the family of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh ji.But it rather symbolises the eternal glow ignited […]
