Seems like the writer of the article in the link below imagines quite a bit, huh? Thankfully, Gurbani teaches me simply: Aad Sach, Jugaad Sach, Hai Bhi Sach, Nanak Ho Si Bhi Sach. http://www.beliefnet.com/story/146/story_14643_1.html

I once overheard a fellow Sikh remark to another (who had only lately begun to keep his turban back and and grow his beard - he was clean shaven for about 2 years), "Tennu ki hogya?? (What's happened to you??)". It's as if he had commited a crime or something by going back to Sikhi. It is really a tragedy to note how our own Sikhs make fun of their own. When wierd questions or remarks come from non-Sikhs, it can be understood, but when they come from grown up Sikhs, it really shocks you. They don't even realise that they are insulting their own Guru. But I also noticed how this Sikh replied and the answer has remained as the one of the best anyone as ignorant as the one who asked could get. In reply, he said, "Kirpa (Guru Di) hogayi." I think that answer left those poking fun at this newly awakened Sikh a good shake-up. I believe that the Guru protects the honour of those Sikhs who themselves preserve the honour of their Guru. This is what the ignorant Sikhs lack - love for their Guru. It is no wonder that they have no love and repect for Sikhi and cannot appreciate an iota of the Sikhi in others. May the Guru's Kirpa shine upon all.
