http://www.tapoban.org/phorum/read.ppa?f=1...i=14549&t=14549 Author: Dass Sevadar Date: 07-11-04 10:51 This is a Sakhi which is written in the manuscript of Parchian Seva Das in October 1708CE. Seva Das was an Udasi Sikh during the time of Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh. One day a Sikh was reciting the hymn of Dakhni Onkar Bani before the Guru. When he recited this verse, " Karte ki mit karta janey, ke janey gur sura, " he missed one vowel. The Ardasia Sikh was instructed to catch hold of the Sikh and to give him a beating with sticks. The Sikhs asked the Guru Sahib, " O True Emperor, the sikh was reciting the sacred 'Onkar' . Why is he being punished? "He is n…

Waheguru jee ka khalsa Waheguru jee ki fateh! (the poll question is actually suppose to be : how do u spend your time on the internet?) Even though there are many things our youth can get out of the internet, such as learning about sikh history, listening to keertan, asking sangat for advice or help on forums, don't you think the internet becomes an addiction? I know it is an addiction for me, especially the chatting and stuff. I feel that there are more productive things the youth can do while off the internet instead of chatting for long hours. I have tried to stay off the internet, and yes it has helped me a lot, but I am back on the same track :wub: Otherwise the…

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.
