Dress how you like, but be ready to face the consequences when the time comes. If you dress provocatively, then when people get ideas about you don't be shocked or annoyed. This goes for both boys and girls, especially for girls.

It is hypocrisy to suggest others should be “tolerant” and “accepting” of who we are; when we as ‘sikhs’, either claim to be someone we are not or we as ‘sikhs’ are full of self hatred.

WAH!!!

If you want dvd quality movies, torrents are your best bet.

Pathetic Country LOL These jokers can't get nothing right

Of couse Inida is the only country where such incidents occur :rolleyes:

"We have all had the experience of failing time after time in changing old habits. Then suddenly these old habits lose their hold on us. What was so attractive suddenly becomes unattractive. This is a sign that God has accepted our repentance.

At this point, my sheikh used to say that we are no longer responsible for those old sins. We have truly changed and we are now someone who is not even tempted to commit them."

BRILLIANT !!!!!

Brilliant ta hega, but such has not happened to me yet <_<

WAH! Kya baat hai :D

Oh and I don't come anywhere near even a single tuk, how sad.

If you wish to discuss avastha of Kabeer Jee and other bhagats, please kindly open a new thread

Before I get told off on the premise that these writings of Kabeer Ji were not included in Gurbani; therefore they do not follow the Sikh thought and thus should not be looked at, let me just say that there are Gurbani tuk's that have very similar meanings to the ones I posted above. Only Guru Sahib knows why they decided to include some and not others. If someone is really curious I will be more than happy to provide the 'equivalent' tuk's from Gurbani.

I may post a few more of Kabeer jee's writings not included in Gurbani tomorrow.

[Renounce everything else, and do this]

Just want to clarify that I was joking in my first post, don't gang up on me! :o

On a serious note, how can I look down on anyone when looking at myself I'm so ashamed that I want to just disappear...

I look down on people who come to gurudwara in big dumalley and with rather large shasters :D

A few more, again I wrote them after hearing.

duK mih ismrn sB krY suK mih kry nw koie

Everyone remembers God in dukh, no one does it in sukh

jo suK mih ismrn krY duK kwhy ko hoey

One who remembers during sukh, why should dukh even come to them

AYsI bwxI boylIeY mn kw vwpw Koie

Speak such words [but first] loose the ego/negativity of the mind

AOroN ko sIql krY Awpo sIql hoey

[such words will] cool/satisfy others and your own mind will have the same effect

So what if you have gotten big as a khajoor (not sure what its called in English) tree

It does not give shadow to bird [traveller], it's fruit is too high to benefit anyone

[referring to ego here]

duRlB mwns jnm hY hoey nw dUjI bwr

Human birth is very precious, it does not happen a second time

pkw Pl jo igr pVw lgy nw dUjI bwr

just like once a piece of fruit falls off the tree, it does not attach back to the tree again

Death is better than begging, such is the teaching of Satguru

what good will repenting do now as time has now passed

You can hear them at

This is a doha by Kabeer Jee, Guru Sahib has not included it in Gurbani, that's the reason I did not post it in Gurbani section. I only heard it, and wrote it down myself so there must be lost of mistakes.

bIq gey idn Bjn ibnw ry

Days have gone by, without praising God

bwl ibvsQw Kyl gvweI

Childhood is lost to playful deeds

jb jobn qb mwn Gnw ry

When youth comes, intense ego also comes with it

lwly kwrn mUl gvwiea

lwly can be translated as 'slave'. So here bhagat jee is saying that due to 'slave' of God, i.e. Maya, you have lost the real thing, the root, i.e. God

AjhUM nw geI mn kI iqRsnw ry

But even then, your thirst has gone quenched

You can hear the above sung beautifully by Jagjit Singh:

^ Time to goto a my local desi store then :lol:

jassa sio, does neem da toothpaste count?

Thanks soo much for staying on topic and answering my question.

lol well let' see, things seemed fine till you brought up caste. As you have already seen, most members are anti-caste here. Citizen_soujla made a fair attempt to you help you initially. Do note that while the anti-caste lecture was started by someone, you did add to it by posting bani that you thought was supporting caste. So really I'm to blame, others are to blame, but you are also to blame. As the old Punjabi saying goes, "taari ik hath naal ni vajdi" (you can't clap with one hand).

"The sun never says to the earth,

'You owe me.'

Look what happens with a love like that.

It lights up the whole sky."

"Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others. "

"Enlightenment must come little by little-otherwise it would overwhelm."

"Whatever we perceive in the world around us tends to reflect who we are and what we care about most deeply, as in the old saying, "When a thief sees a saint, all he sees are his pockets.' "

"We have all had the experience of failing time after time in changing old habits. Then suddenly these old habits lose their hold on us. What was so attractive suddenly becomes unattractive. This is a sign that God has accepted our repentance.

At this point, my sheikh used to say that we are no longer responsible for those old sins. We have truly changed and we are now someone who is not even tempted to commit them."

"Silence is not the absence of sound, but the absence of self."

WAH!!!

Interesting...

I got in by accident and some force.

Paid in full yet there is an infinite amount left over.

There is a vaar by Bhai Gurdaas Jee, the key meaning is that a Sikh can not love the Guru as much as Guru loves his Sikh. In this vaar one example Bhai Sahib gives that relates to the story posted above. He says that a child simply can not love his/her parents as much as the parents love the child. If I find the vaar I will surely post it here, though my past attempts have been futile.

I would recommend you read the book Change Your Brain Change Your Life by Dr. Daniel G. Amen.

A small video of what he talks about in the book on Youtube:

You can order it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Change-Your-Brain-Lif...s/dp/0812929985

Without knowing the issue at hand, it will be impossible to gauge possible options.

Everyone person in the world is looking for love in a way that they think is best. He's just screaming for love Give him pyaar in the house and most likely he will stop going out looking for it.

Sorry if that sounded harsh, that was not my intention.

Guru Rakha

Balait, how much milk do you drink everyday? I suspect lack of calcium combined with lack of activity might be the culprit here. I'm being serious...

Dudh pio rajj key tey haddi tagri karo rajj key :lol:

I always notice when Canadian people giving American dollars for kirtan da satkar(to kirtaniess) and matha taak.

The real question is why are you noticing people giving money *scratches his chin*

PS my favourite emoticon doesn't work <_< People that know me will know what I'm talking about
