Description
As follow up today’s class, please do the following activities and post your work on our blog no later than tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov. 2) at 10pm:
Go to the Guru Granth Sahib pdf and use the “Find” (ctrl + F) to search for all the passages that contain the words “love” and “peace” in the book. How many are there of each? What does this tell you about this book? What does it tell you about the time period in which the book was compiled? Choose your favourite quotes containing the word “love” and the word “peace”. Why did you choose these quotes?
Go to our textbook and skim through Chapter 14: Faith and Chapter 15: Wisdom. What is the relationship between “faith” and “wisdom” in our spiritual lives? How do these two concepts/principles influence each other? Write a brief reflection of 150-200 words on this question. Pick quotes from these two chapters to back up your points.
why do you think people “fight” over religion (or fight over their holy books)? Do you agree that people can/should fight over religion? If yes, why? If not, why not? Feel free to use any quotes from our textbook or from other books we have studied to back up your position.
