Maybe you should understand, just because koyee photo nu matha tekda, oh sirf photo nu nahi matha tekda. Did you ever think maybe they are bowing to something that is represented by that photo?

Not everything is as plain and simple as black and white, sometimes you need to understand something before you start commenting on it like an expert.

What do you know about Hinduism or idols or pictures or what they represent?

Just because someone doesn't see things your way, doesn't mean it's your god given right to make them see it your way. They have their opinion and way of life.

I can't believe that in this day and age, I have to explain to people that knowledge of God (the shabad, the word) is more important than a picture or statue depicting some creative physical features.  This should be easy to grasp.

I can't believe in this day and age, you think a statue or an idol represents mere physical features.

What I know is that an inanimate object that does not spread any knowledge will not help?  The continual of such a tradition will further result in the next generation not seeing much either. What is it that you understand from bowing to an idol? Bowing to knowledge is one thing, now compare that with bowing to a figure that somebody thought up.  God is formless, why are we assigning forms to Him?  God is everywhere, why are we not bowing to (anything else you can think up)?  God is timeless, why are we restricting Him to the past (as is done with an idol)?  By worshipping an idol, we are restricting God. When you think God, what do you want to think? An idol which has this and that physical features.  Or do you want to think about the avatar that idol is representing (i.e. Lord Krishna, Brahma, etc.)?

All these arguments are further explained here (which uses quotes from Guru Granth Sahib ji and Guru Gobind Singh ji's texts).  I urge you to please read.

I'm not bent on changing people to believe what only I think. There are people that do not believe in God, some see God in a stone, some in the dead, etc.  I only proclaim that Sikhs are guided by their Gurus (according to the these quotes) to not fall short when trying to reach God. I cannot teach anybody else, but I can make realize to a person who believes in the Sikh philosophy what the Gurus showed.

Please understand that I'm not telling Hindus to do anything, I'm only telling people who subscribe to Gursikhi what to do.  This is not to say that whatever Gursikhi is, it is not for others to follow (that is your own choice).

Lastly, please do not think that I am holier than anybody here.  I am a hypocrite of the greatest degree, I perfectly know that I am a victim of lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride, yet I do not do enough to break from them.  I talk big words (evidence above), but my actions are worthless.  I am probably the lowest one here, because even though I read Nanak's message, I am still the useless idiot who does not do anything to change.

If only it were that easy for people to grasp. Ethay ta loki bas ek duje wich farak kad dey ne. Koyee eh nahi dekhda vi sareya wich similarities kehriya ne.
