Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!
A step to offend, or to please.... who knows? A step in the right direction however.... I must say!!
Yes everyone is equal in Guru's house where there are four doors open to every person from whichever corner of the world they travel from regardless of caste, creed, or colour, however if Guru Sahib Ji's hukam is for us to recieve Khande Baateh Dee Pahul.... (Pritam rehat yeh jaan, khandeh ki pahul chakeh) the that is what we should do. And if when we recieve this gift of Amrit we are told as part of the 4 abstraints that shortening or removing hair is a taboo, then it is our duty to follow this command - "only" if we want to recieve the blessings of Guru Sahib Ji.
Its an option yes, but then the whole package that comes with it is directly linked to it. We can't pick and choose the things we want and leave the harder things for other people who "want" to follow them, because quite simply things dont work that way.
Guru Sahib Ji is both forever giving and forgiving however we can't keep abusing this the way we are.
This step is most definately a step in the right direction, maybe Sikhi isnt for you if you dont think it is right... or maybe we need to wake up and think... are we really a Sikh by name, or can we stand up and say, we are Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Sikh, by nature?!?
Sorry if I have offended anyone
