#seperationOfChurchAndState Empires rise and fall, ideas live on. Not that it matters at all, however its one thing for a beggar to preach about non-attachment, but its a whole new level for a culture so rich, that it has a Golden Temple :D and a Guru, Guru Gobind Singh who used to shoot arrows with gold arrowhead, so the enemys family would have enough to do his death rites with dignity. Everybody is going to war over gold... golden gold, black gold aka oil, and here we are showering golden arrows on the enemy, even the Jews are jealous. :D ਰਸੁ ਸੁਇਨਾ ਰਸੁ ਰੁਪਾ ਕਾਮਣਿ ਰਸੁ ਪਰਮਲ ਕੀ ਵਾਸੁ ॥ The pleasures of gold and silver, the pleasures of women, the pleasure of the fragrance of sandalwood, ਰਸੁ ਘੋੜੇ ਰਸੁ ਸੇਜਾ ਮੰਦਰ ਰਸੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਰਸੁ ਮਾਸੁ ॥ The pleasure of horses, the pleasure of a soft bed in a palace, the pleasure of sweet treats and the pleasure of hearty meals ਏਤੇ ਰਸ ਸਰੀਰ ਕੇ ਕੈ ਘਟਿ ਨਾਮ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥੨॥ -these pleasures of the human body are so numerous; how can self reflection, and self actualization through mediation find its dwelling in the heart? ||2|| - Guru Nanak Dev
