128ABSTRACTS OF SIKH STUDIES : JAN-MARCH <strong>2006</strong> / 537-38 NSthe caste and ropes <strong>of</strong> false rituals and ceremonies to entrap you. (p.329)– I shall not sing the endless songs and poetry <strong>of</strong> Vedas, Puranasand Shastras. I shall play a steady tune on the flute <strong>of</strong> love <strong>of</strong> theFormless One, Whose abode is Eternal. (p. 972)– If one determines good or bad actions on the basis <strong>of</strong> Vedas andPuranas, one’s mind is filled with doubt and worry. Thesescriptures do not tell how to cure self-conceit.( p. 346.)Baldev Singh USA~~~SIKH CONFEDERATION TAKING SHAPEDear All,It appears that some like-minded individuals have gotten togetherto address the problems facing the <strong>Sikh</strong> community, be it at local,national or international level. Given how great the problems are, andhow difficult the task is, I have nothing but admiration for theseindividuals for taking the bold step. I am sure a lot <strong>of</strong> mistakes will bemade, but I am also sure a lot <strong>of</strong> good will come out <strong>of</strong> their effort.Let us be complimentary <strong>of</strong> them, and <strong>of</strong>fer any assistance wecan as lesser mortals (here I speak for myself) to improve the wellbeing<strong>of</strong> our community.Let us not suspect their motives, or cast aspersions, or think orspeak any negative thoughts. Just wish them chardi kala and pray fortheir success.
