    PART ONE: Episode 22. Sikhi theology & scripture challenged our panelists: There is no 'other'?
    Dec 17 2025

    The Sacred text of Sikhs begins with the idea that there is one creative force that is the sound of all of creation. That Creative Force is what is! Everything is part of that Oneness. There is no “other.” Listen as Raman Singh presents a religious way of thinking about caring that starts in a different place. If all of creation is one, then what? If there is no other, then what about Caring for the other, for the stranger? Raman Singh starts out this podcast by causing us to reconsider - possibly think in a profoundly different way - about who is the “other.”
