I would like to know what you think Of Sri Satya Sai Baba and his many teachings.Do you believe that he is God incarnated and is walking on the Earth.Many of his teachings like unity of all religions,doing good are things which i really beleived in before knowing about him.I do not beleive we should classify ourselves in different religions like Sikhism or Islam.It has done more harm than good really.my brother said that in sikhism it is said that God cannot incarnate himself as a human.Is this true?Hope you can reply..

(REPLY) Sat Nam. God lives and breathes in every human being. Guru Gobind Singh directed all Sikhs never to worship any human being as God, and turned over the Guruship to the Shabd Guru, Siri Guru Granth Sahib. There is good in the teachings of most religions. People are different, and certain aspects of variou religions may appeal to them more than others. We each choose that path which suits us best, and, from my point of view, those who choose (or have chosen by birth!) the path of Sikhism are most blessed! I agree that terrible harm has been done in the name of religion, which is why Guru Nanak himself established the concept that Sikhs should respect all religions; and therefore Sikhs do not attempt to convert anyone, and certainly not by force! But that doesn't mean that we don't value our great Sikh heritage of wisdom, the inspiring history of the lives of our Gurus, and the guidance today of our timeless Shabd Guru.
