Having said that, there is no harm in providing links on the internet. Copyright is there to stop commercial use. (Profiting from the work of others)
Many of us here alter our Guru's words into our own but we often don't just quote directly, especially long passages.
The part when you claimed it as your own is forgivable from my point of view. Many of us here either know of others or have worked with ESL people. (English as a Second Language) . Your mother tongue is either Hindi, or Punjabi, am I correct.
Language is such a barrier. Perhaps there are few forums on the internet in languages besides English. Clearly this one is in English. So I would urge you just to use your own words in the future. The meaning will still come across clear enough for most of us to get the message you want to say.
For me, and perhaps some others, its a call to be careful with our language depending on whom we are addressing so that all can understand.
