Honestly, tell me how much you know about the Sikh Faith. How much
of Gurbani have you read and understood? How much bani of Bhai
Gurdas ji and Bhai Nand Lal Singh have you read? Without doing this how
do you consider yourself qualified for making such pompous judgements?
And if you indeed are qualified, let us have detailed discussion on
the soundness of basis of Sikhism, there will be many interested people
on soc.religion.sikhism too.
The big problem I see with most people, including a whole lot of
my Hindu friends, and some Sikhs too, is that they really do not know much
about real Sikhism beyond common hearsay. Even someone quite ignorant like
myself can see this epidemic of misconceptions.
Most importantly, however, your presumption that something has to be
compared with Vedanta to be evaluated, is invalid. As per Gurbani,
the knowledge of [and philosophy of] vedanta is of no use in itself
since "Without my True Guru there is utter darkness." [Guru Angad].
