  3. No, but that isn't to say that we shouldn't all aspire to be that strong.

  4. Where have I shown anger? You seem to be telling me not to question anything and just follow. Do you not see a problem in that? In no way am I comparing myself or this situation to that of Guru Nanaks, but had he not started question and just followed, would we really be having this discussion today? And as for why, usually if people claims that are quite extrordinary, people want to see it and have it proven, to say "I cant do it but I wont show you!" is childish in my opinion. Back up your claims. You say the Guru never used Amrit as a magic potion, so do you believe it doesn't have the ability to revive the dead? FYI, I do not believe science knows it all or can explain it all. Also, you say Kala Afghana supporters want a Gurmukh to show a higher ability, but they will do no such thing. Yet, I often stubmle upon stories of "Mahapurkhs" performing practically miracles and leaving their followers in awe. So this leaves me a bit confused.

  6. All this anger for what? What did you accomplish by placing doubt on Amrit? The idea is to arise from the current state of mind into the Guru's wisdom. The Guru has never used Amrit as some magical potion and never will in the form of Punj Pyare. The event of 1699 is no show of magic or a miracle. To a blind man the idea of sight is a miracle. Kala afghana has been proven wrong in this very century. Gurbani/Shabad Guru/ Guru Sahib gave a blind man the ability to see. Can he explain this for us or use science? He can't and neither can science. Those who come with knowing little about Guru Sahib will call it a miracle or won't believe it is possible. Yet it is only a perspective and not reality. The reality is held by those who are able to understand the ability of Guru Sahib and why he expresses this ability from time to time that some call miracles or don't believe. To a man who is mostly driven by tamas, the day he gets out of bed early is a miracle. Same goes for a man beat down by addiction. It is not a matter of, if the Guru can revive a rat with Amrit, but why???? The Bani of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji criticizes Krishna for showing off the ability to put a nose ring in a king cobra's nose, who no one else could do. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj ask Krishna, what has he accomplished by such act? Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji says, Akal Purakh created all and Akal Purakh is in control of creation. Giving us the indication the ability of doing anything is not to be measured by relativity as Akal Purakh is able to do anything. Kala Afghana has taken his own abilities and what science describes as possible by humans or nature and placed it as the benchmark to measure any other action or act in this world. Anything that has taken place in this world, which does not meet his benchmark is classified as of not taking place or is fictitious. Anyone who is a Sikh as defined by Gurbani will say this is absurd. Hence we have many people calling Kala Afghana a complete mor*n. His reasoning is all wrong and I really don't believe he reads Gurbani. What Kala Afghana and supporters want is for some Gurmukh to demonstrate some higher ability, which a normal human cannot do and science says is impossible. No Gurmukh will do this for anyone because they believe in Akal Purakh's ability to do anything. There small act will not solve anything and will provide nothing that Gurbani has already given us. If your whole religious belief is based on whether someone can perform these acts. Then simply type in Buddhist monk self immolation into youtube and watch a Buddhist monk demonstrate the ability which science says can't happen and is above human ability. The Guru-mat is not here to give the unbeliever magic shows. The Guru-mat is here to quiet the mind by telling us what is and giving the ability to experience Gurbani. The question is simple. Why do you want Punj Pyare to revive a dead rat? The answer is simple because your ego can't handle what is beyond your ability to understand. How do I bring it in my grasp? Bow at the Gurus feet by saying I know nothing, I am nothing and I am here to learn through Gurbani. The tongue will rewrite the blueprint of the mind through Gurbani.

  7. Surrender? To who and why? Surrender to the Nihangs? Sikhi is dying day by day, and here you all sit fantasizing about Khalsa Raj, we can't even obtain Khalsa Raj in Punjab. I think we need to think a lot more short term, otherwise there will not even be a "long term."

  9. If somebody burns a Gutka Sahib, or defiles a Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, or otherwise perpetrates some offensive action against our Dharam, then they should be punished. But you can't crack down on someone for saying anything. Waheguru, Sikhs are thin-skinned these days. If your faith in Guru Sahib has any vigor or firmness, it shouldn't be shaken by a few nasty comments. Do you think Guru Sahib is quaking with indignation when somebody criticises them, and needs us, pitiful worms that we are in comparison to their radiance, to defend them? As for the idea of instituting 'harsh laws' against such people, one can only lament the fact that Sikhs are beginning to behave more and more like Islamic fundamentalists.

  11. A Khalistan forged in the spirit of our Gurus would be heaven on earth. What we're most likely to receive from the current crop of Sikhs is either sheer incompetence that would make Pakistan look like a success story, or a "caliphate" that would make ISIS steal admiring glances at us and our kartootah. We don't do things by halves, do we, lol? The dream lives on though. In the meantime our Sikhi on a Singh-by-Singh and Kaur-by-Kaur basis needs to be solid. Big hearts and strong minds topped off with compassion. For that's what true power is; as Oskar Schindler said, "True power is not taking a life, but knowing when to spare one." That's one lesson we'd be well served to bear in mind.
