| ==Setup a new page in the Main namespace==
| |
| Dear Youngjun Jung,
| |
|
| |
| Many thanks for translating part of the article page on [[Sikhism]]. I have setup a new page in the Main namespace here - [[시희굝]]. I hope you can check to see if this page is correct; I will be most grateful for your help. Guru's blessings and kind regards, [[user:hari singh|Hari Singh]]<sup>[[User talk:Hari singh|talk]]</sup> 21:08, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

| Dear Youngjun Jung,

| {{SSA}}
| |
|
| |
| ''"Sat Sri Akal, Hari Singh Ji! "'' Is a perfectly correct expression. Thank you.
| |
|
| |
| It is very kind of you to make the effort to translate the original article - It will help other people who cannot read English to better understand the message of [[Guru Nanak]]. It is also appreciated when you said ''"....because Sikhism is the most attractive religion to me among what I've ever studied"''. Again, thank you very much. Obviously, I agree with you.

| I do not know if you are aware that you can get an automatic translation by doing the following:
| |
|
| |
| * 1. Click on the [[File:Select Language.jpg]] on the right hand sidebar, <br><br>
| |
| *2 Then select "Korean" and you will get an automatic translation of the page. <br>

| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Do you know about this?
| |
|
| |
| I am told that the translation is not very good. However, it is the best we have at present until someone like you can translate some of the main pages from English.
| |
|
| |
| Whenever you have the time, please do a little bit of translation on your user page if you like and I will transfer to the page on Sikhism - [[시희굝]]. Anything that you do will be much appreciated as it will be a historic first! It will be the first time that the work of the great spiritual Guru has been translated into Korean.
| |
|
| |
| Good luck with your learning about [[Sikhism]]. When the time is right, I am sure you will become a Sikh and I am sure you will enjoy your trip to Harmandar Sahib :) - it will be magical!
| |
|
| |
| Many thanks again and all the Guru's blessings to you. Enjoy your life in Thakshin Korea. Kind regards, [[user:hari singh|Hari Singh]]<sup>[[User talk:Hari singh|talk]]</sup> 12:30, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

|
| |
| Dear Ram Singh Jung, {{SSA}}
| |
|
| |
| That's a much easier name for me to say and remember; your real name is not too difficult but it will take a few more days to learn properly.
| |
|
| |
| Veer (brother) ji, I liked the text on your user page - It was good, but I have made a few changes. Hopefully it makes it a bit more easier to follow. I hope you don't mind.
| |
|
| |
| Also, although I don't use facebook a lot, I have clicked you as a friend. I hope you will do the same. However, please contact me through SikhiWiki.

| ==Miracles ==
| |
| Dear Ram Singh Jung, {{SSA}}
| |
|
| |
| Many thanks for your kind and touching greetings; may the Lord bless you always with tranquillity and contentment.
| |
|
| |
| No, this not a rude question at all. I am happy to answer this question. However, I am not sure that I understand exactly what you mean by "supernatural situations"; I hope it means "miracles"
| |
|
| |
| There are a few [[Sakhi]]s (historic stories) about [[Guru Nanak]] which appears as if a miracle had happened. The best one that I can think of is the one associated with [[Panja Sahib]] in [[Pakistan]]. I hope this is what you mean by "supernatural situations". Here the Guru is said to have stopped a large rock from running over him. There is a hand imprint (palm mark) which can be seen even today at this historic site. Please read about it here - [[Panja Sahib]].
| |
|
| |
| So, although miracles do happen, Sikhs are not allowed to use or seek "supernatural powers" as they take you away from reality and from the connection with God. The [[Guru Granth Sahib]] tells us this:
| |
|
| |
| {{Tuk1|14|600|If I were to become a Siddha, and work miracles, summon wealth and become invisible and visible at will, <br>
| |
| so that people would hold me in awe - seeing these, I might go astray and forget You, <br>
| |
| and Your Name would not enter into my mind. (3)}}
| |
|
| |
| So, Sikhs do believe that supernatural powers do exist but that they are of no importance to a person on a spiritual path. Just like martial arts, ability to remember 1000 of numbers, ability to control breath, massive physical strength, etc these are just different skills that a person can acquire. But none of these will take you closer to God! That can only happen by doing good deeds and remembering Him at all times.

| I hope this answers your question. If not please do write to me again. Warm regards and the Lord's blessings, [[user:hari singh|Hari Singh]]<sup>[[User talk:Hari singh|talk]]</sup> 19:50, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

| Dear Youngjun ji,
| |
| {{SSA}}
| |
|
| |
| Many thanks for your message; I was very pleased to hear from you. I hope life has been good for you and that you are happy and contented with developments in yourself recently.
| |
|
| |
| My younger brother, dedication to the path of God is not easy; its a tough path - so please do not apologise; it is a concept that we all have to deal with everyday and bring strength in our minds to move towards God and Goodness. To become pure in our lives is a constant challenge. I too have this problem and it is always difficult to move in the right direction in life. However, with Guru's blessings, as I have got older, I have managed to find a little time. When I was young - it was bad - although the love was there, there was no time! I understand this situation very clearly!
| |
|
| |
| I know that when we make the effort and get something good done, it brings real internal joy; real true happiness which cannot be taken away. Yes, I understand that. We can only pray so that we have the strength to do the good work of the Guru so that - may be - just one person may read the supreme words of the Guru through our writings!
| |
|
| |
| I pray that all of us, the lovers of the Guru, and contributor here on Sikhiwiki find the time and true motivation to tread on the rightful path; May the Lord give us energy to move in a positive direction and not dissolve ourselves in the world of illusion.
| |
