Sublime Response

Sublime is “of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe” defined by google. My sublime is The Golden Temple back in India, Punjab. I use to go there when I was a little boy very often. We, Sikhs, call this our holy place also call it Shri Harmander Sahib. This place is amazingly built from its architecture to its rich history. Golden Temple was attacked in 1984, killing many innocent men, women, and children. This attacked destroyed many parts of this holy place. But through all the struggles, Sikhs managed to fix it back to into this incredible place made half out of real gold. I have not been back to the Golden Temple ever since I was about eight years old. But I still remember this peaceful feeling I would get when I used to visit there. I do not know what it is about that place but this place brings peace to my mind and also my soul. People go to this holy place to start something such as a business, had children, or just starting a new life, Sikhs and many other people come here to get the blessing and spiritually be cleansed. Another thing that amazes me about the Golden Temple, is that it has four doors indicating that anyone from any religion, culture, or any person can come without being judged or being stopped for practicing another religion. Sikhism believes all beings are created equal.
