This quote just reminded me of what is happening in our Sikhi Kaum all the time. Brother against brother, jatha against jatha... No tree has branches so foolish as to fight among themselves. It seems like our branches are always fighting amongst each other. bhul chuk maaf. waheguru jee ka khalsa waheguru jee kee fateh

THE POWER OF AMRIT by Manvir Singh Khalsa When Bhai Jaitha Ji came from Delhi with Guru Tegh Bahadar Ji's severed head to tenth Guru, the Guru asked, "Oh Bhai Jaitha, tell how many people gathered at Chandi Chownk, to see my father be beheaded?" Bhai Jaitha replied, "There were hundreds and thousands." Guru Ji then asked, "How many Sikhs of Guru Nanak were standing in the crowds?" Bhai Jaitha Ji with tears in his eyes replied, "Oh Guru Ji, I couldn't recognise who was a Sikh or who was not a Sikh, there were thousands of people but I couldn't see any Sikhs distinct from the crowd." The tenth Guru replied, "Don't worry, I will soon give the Sikhs, such a beautiful…

I came across this pangti in Gurbani which forms part of a shabad by Bhagat Kabeer Jee on Ang 1123 of the Guru Granth Sahib Jee relating to the Dasam Duar. I would be grateful if the Sangat could let me know is meant by the three qualities which need to be untied before the Dasam Duar opens. Bhul Chuk Maaf Fateh.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my story of keeping Kesh (unshorn hair). I used to be a mona (cut my hair), who became keshdhari (stopped cutting my hair) and kept Guru’s Rehat (Sikh discipline). The story dates from May/April – August 2000. I have recorded and added my experiences from prior this time as well and how I have struggled to keep Kesh. My story isn’t anything exceptional, however I thought it might help to inspire those who might be in similar situation as I was in before. Guru Raka. --------------------------------…

"One who works diligently for the Guru, the True Guru - the GurSikhs work for him." I was looking at the thread about khalsa04 being sacked from domino's and read the post by akjforever saying that khalsa04 should take it as a sign not to work in a place where meat is handled... a valid point in my opinion.... In the following shabad Guru Sahib tells exactly who should a Gursikh work for.... This Shabad is by Guru Raam Daas Ji in Raag Gauree on Ang 317 bhul chuk maaf karni jee Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.
