Kalsingh Veer Ji, I am sorry. I think we are on completely different pages. I had originally made the comment after I read you saying "If anything, it shows we are deeply concerned with sikhi i.e. turban and beard and the future of it." I just don't see keeping khes as concern for Sikhi, if you don't follow rehit. And on a few separate occasions you made comments about not being that much into Sikhi for various reasons. That is your personal issue. I just didn't like the comment that you were saying its your concern for Sikhi, like you said in your pervious post its concern for 'your' sikhi, not everyones. That was the point i am trying to get at. If it is for your personal spiritual journey more power to you, but please don't say your showing concern for sikhi in general by keeping khes. Sikhi is a personal experience. I am not saying you should cut off your hair or take amrit. A person takes amrit when they are ready. I am just saying if you keep your hair just to represent Sikhs but don't follow rehit, then you might as will cut off your hair. The you in this comment is not direct towards you, kalsingh but every sikh.

you misunderstood me. I am saying if you keep your khes and don't take amrit and aren't very religious, then you shouldn't say you are keeping your khes for sikhi. At that point you might as will just cut your khes. If you do it for yourself, more power to you. If you keep your khes because you want to work towards Sikhi and become amritdhari, then its great and you have every right to say your doing to it because your a sikh. you+sikhi = khes = good you+ khes = sikhi, doesn't equal nothing. You can't just keep khes and claim your doing it for sikhi. Khes to mean anything towards sikhi, has to come from you wanting to be a better sikh. I am sorry, I am just frustrated of all the people that look like they are sikhs, say they are sikhs but then go on to do stupid things to disgrace sikhi. I am not saying your one of them. I am just saying unless you working towards being a good sikh, don't claim you keep khes for sikhi. sorry, for any hurt feelings.

Happily Everafter… : The Key to Happiness Posted on May 30, 2010 under “I am not good, no one is bad,” is a shabad found on page 728 in Guru Granth Sahib Ji that every Sikh should chant each morning for a half hour before beginning their day. Over time that line will become so engraved in your mind you won’t have to chant it no more. Once engraved, you will notice that every time you go to say someone is bad, that immediately a voice will come from within and remind you “I am not good, no one is bad”. When that voice is automatic it will eventually stop thinking negative all together. And with that your ego well perish also. The day your ego is gone, you are ready to approach Waheguru. So put the dollar back in your pocket and present yourself to Waheguru as an offering next time you go to the Gurudwara. Tell Waheguru that you want to be his beloved and you are ready to do what it takes. After you have told Waheguru that, do ardass and then approach the true Guru, Guru Granth Sahib Ji for his hukam. Record the hukam and read it every day with your nitnem, so you never forget that Waheguru is your beloved. Listen carefully to each word your beloved says to you and do whatever your beloved asks to win his love. Trust in the fact that if you listen to him he’ll never lead you astray. While you work to blend yourself into someone that your beloved wants you to be, he is going to be busy fixing up your life. He is going to destroy all your bad karmas and fill your life with the happiness you deserve. But be pre-warned, that you have to trust him, that what he does is going to ultimately lead to a greater good. Things well happen that well tempt you to doubt him and to leave him, it’s up to you to keep faith in your love and devotion. While serving Waheguru with all your love and devotion your soul will begin to grow and expand to an understanding of the world you didn’t even know was possible. You will fall so madly in love that where ever you turn, you will just see your beloved. You will color your life, in his colors. You will wear the bana of a Gursikh because he gifted it to you and showed you the importance of it. Your body well be decked out with ornaments (the hair) he gave you. Never again you well find the need to modify his gifts to please yourself or others around you. With loving words he will provide you with every tool you need to become in peace with yourself, without having to change a single thing. Each imperfection will magically turn into a magical master piece, a work of art. At peace with yourself, you are ready to accept the spouse Waheguru has chosen for you. It’s important to accept Waheguru before your spouse because he is the one that is going to help you accept your spouse. Remember Waheguru is one and the in-laws many. So tackle the easier one, Waheguru, first. Waheguru gives you the full support for you to be successful in your relationship with him. With Waheguru at your side no issue with the in-laws will seem too big, no misunderstanding to great. Most likely you won’t have any problems at all because all problems will seem too little to even be labeled problems. Like if your spouse is overweight, your hands will automatically begin cooking healthy foods for him. Or if your mother-in-law is picky, your natural reaction won’t be angry, it will be doing double careful till she is at ease with you. In other words, you won’t see problems…you will see solutions. Waheguru is the solution to all your problems and Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the key to unlocking the door to Waheguru. Bow to Guru Granth Sahib Ji to begin unlocking your happiness today.

you know why girls don't reply? because boys just want to blame the whole problem on the girls. I think it was a mistake that i even replied. This is pointless. unless you guys are also willing to accept responsibility, girls will not reply.

Veer Ji, I understand we all are at different levels of spirituality. The reason I made the comments I did because at various times you have made the comment your not very religous, nor do you sound like you want to be. Maybe I just read into it the wrong way? I have read your replies in another similar topic and you stated you keep the beard because your a man and that's the way it is suppose to be, now you say its spiritual. Both are fine, its your life. But the comment I didn't like was " If anything, it shows we are deeply concerned with sikhi i.e. turban and beard and the future of it." Niether of your reasons have nothing to do with Sikhi and you shouldn't be trying to make it sound like it is. Your not doing this for sikhi, your doing it for you. simple. If it was for Sikhi, then my comments stand true because you should live the life of a sikh, not just look like them. That is what I meant, if you are just keeping hair and saying your doing it for sikhi, you might as well cut it off because its not for sikhi. Anyways, sorry if I offended. Next time I will just keep my comments to myself. oh and no one is asking you to go around acting like a powerful Gursikh, infact if you wear a turban and keep a beard and call yourself a sikh, you should be humble, not act all powerful. I don't know about others but when I am wearing a turban and I am out and about, I go out of my way to be extra good, polite and nice, so people can not say nothing bad about sikhs because of my behavior. Thats another thing, I personally rather see someone cut their hair, then to be wearing a dastar, beard and calling themselfs Sikhs and doing everything we are not suppose to be doing. I don't know what anyone else thinks but Dastar and the right to call ourselfs Sikhs comes with a heavy responsibility.

Can someone please translate this?

I just have one advice, don't drink the water. Get water bottles and insist on drinking nothing but those. I went to india last year during the summer and I made the mistake of drinking the water there. I was trying to be polite and didn't want anyone to think that since I came from America, I was acting pricey. By the end of my trip I was so sick, they almost didn't let me fly home and when I did get home, I had to be hospitalized for the whole day and get an ivy put in me and go on meds for awhile before I was 100% again. So if you grew up in the states, uk or canada or anywhere but india for that matter, don't drink the water. Our stomachs aren't use to it.

you make me laugh. no such thing as burka for girls. where did that come from? Okay, veer Ji many girls such as my self also have to grow up with long hair (you see its part of being a sikh) and many sikh girls today also tie a pagh. WE don't have the beard because Waheguru Ji did not bless us with that. Girls don't have it easy. It is just how one looks at it. Also if some girls don't bother with a kara, there also some boys that don't bother with it either. Why do all the good guys today don't want to get married? ask your brother how many amritdhari couples get divorces.

Since when do we let Muslims change everything? Take of your stupid cap and wear the pagh with pride man. It has been 9 years, time to get some courage already. Don't forget we are sikhs, we fight the situation, not change with it.

Today you are asking for the ban of the burkha, tomorrow they will ask for the ban of the Kirpan. They will use the same logical and similar statistics. Live and let live.

I would prefer that people that aren't into sikhi not keep their hair and wear a turban. Personally I think wearing a turban and keeping hair comes with a great responsibility, that you can't let Guru Gobind Singh Ji down because he gave it to us. So if you aren't serious about your responsibility, then you shouldn't have it. But end of the day it is your choice. Yes, we are all at different levels. I have been waiting for years for my parents to find me someone, so i can settle down. lol, but alas they don't think i am at that level yet. As for you meeting a partner, if I ever meet someone like you, I would say no because to me you would look like someone that is confused. Someone that looks like one thing but is another. I would prefer someone that has a clear understanding about what they want and not give off the vibes they are confused because that tells me, me and my future kids with this person will also have an identity crisis. also, pick a side. A person that rides with a foot in each boat, often sinks. you are not concerned about Sikhi or you wouldn't say your not that into it. You keep turban and beard for yourself, not for others. So don't act like your doing anyone any favor or showing concern. Concern for Sikhi is when you live your life the way Guru Gobind Singh Ji told us to live it and die if necessary doing the right thing.

Veer Ji, I never understood one thing about you. Are Guru's never encouraged us to be yogis or sadhus but yet you bring it up alot. you know it is easy to go into jungle and do tapsa but it is hard to live in this world and do tapsa. See if you ever come back from your jungle, this world is going to effect you again and your tapsa will not as fruitful, as if you lived in the world and did tapsa and rised above it all. I am a very big moorak and i am still learning about Sikhi, so if I am wrong please correct me.

it won't let me watch it. says service not available in my area. I live in america and sorry to say I have no pity for majority of the homeless here. I work in a convenience store and everyday I see these people that qualify as homeless, poor and etc come in and abuse food stamps. These people don't try to find jobs, they waste food stamps on junk food and whatever cash they have goes toward beer, cigs and drugs. It might not everyone that is like that but all that I have meet are like that.

I personally would never marry a singh that is so insecure that he is more worried about marriage then his sikhi. I rather not marry. lol that said, I will be marrying whomever my parents pick for me, I would prefer not to even meet him before marriage. I trust my parents and waheguru.

I used them to say they were lucky to fight for Guru JI. Just like women are lucky to give birth to those Saheeds. how can we be unlucky? yes there are lots of bad stuff happening to women but men have their own issues. so i don't see why ones karmas are worse then another. maybe are karmas are better because we are able to have kids? Maybe mens karmas are worse that they aren't strong enough to have kids? get my point. oh also if you read Gurbani, all of us referred to as women and Waheguru Ji as a man. (or atleast that is what I understood, I am very dumb so if i am wrong in my understanding please forgive me) So if we are the same, how are my karmas any different than yours? I think we are the same and it is up to us how we use our karmas. There are great men and women out there that are able to meet waheguru quickly and aat same time there are people like me that struggle. So we should not create this misunderstandings in the minds that one is better of then another, Waheguru loves us all.

waheguru

ummm, your confused buddy. We girls have better Karma's then men if you want to look it at that way. It is our Good Karmas that give us the power to deal with everything you mentioned, that make us strong. If didn't have our Good Karmas we would never be able to deal with life and everything we go through. Look at any of our Saheeds, are you saying they had bad karams that is why they couldn't live peacful quiet lives? Girls don't have bad karmas, no matter how you put it.
