khalsaman1

Why are we ragging on this girl?

She clearly had bad karams from a previous life. We should all pray for Waheguru to pay off our karams in this life too.

We recite JapJi Sahib every day. Read the 25th pauri and understand it Guru ke pyareo!

This a great thread brother.

May I suggest one thing? Let's say "Waheguru has given me XX and I've stopped doing YY"

Remember the Guru's words. We humans are capable of nothing. Everything happens in Waheguru's will.

Lol. I don't think he actually cares if he was a sikh or not - Did he apologise for the recent hate crimes and attacks on Gurdwaras and that Sikhs being shot at after his hate speeches? Nope, he will never do that because he is a bigot.

He is what Waheguru has made him, brother.

He is a tyrant but Waheguru has placed many tyrants on the throne. Waheguru has also removed many tyrants from the throne.

Re: Trump calling the dastar a hat.

Guru Pyareo, I have watched the video a few times over and I don't believe Trump knew the man was a sardar.

Trump says "He wasn't wearing one of those red hats...was he?" He then says "and he never will....and that is okay"

Trump supporters have been wearing the following red hat: http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/57/590x/Donald-Trump-up-close-595065.jpg

If he was referencing the red turban, why would he say "and he never will and that's okay"?

It's actually not that complicated.

The way I see it, Trump represents bigotry, divisiveness, intolerance and hatred. He is spreading that type of hysterical fear among masses. I don't care about rest as thats more than enough reason for me to take a moment to protest against his fascist views. I applaud what this singh did and hopefully, he realize this on a universal sense, condemn it on all levels and not make it complicated by boxing it as "us vs them" or other proxy war silliness.

Gursikhi is higher path, yes we can be smart/strategic but at the same time never loose the essence-tat of gurmat which is enshirned quite clearly such as in - akaal ustat.

Excellent post. Waheguru has blessed you greatly.

Do you know it's comical when apnay who can't even stick up for themselves or their own people in a tight situation, give it big talk about being some sort of crusader against injustice.

This isn't about Muslims but having a realistic appraisal of our own situation.

Waheguru.

ਸ੍ਰੀਰਾਗ ਬਾਣੀ ਭਗਤ ਬੇਣੀ ਜੀਉ ਕੀ ॥ ਪਹਰਿਆ ਕੈ ਘਰਿ ਗਾਵਣਾ ॥

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ਰੇ ਨਰ ਗਰਭ ਕੁੰਡਲ ਜਬ ਆਛਤ ਉਰਧ ਧਿਆਨ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗਾ ॥ ਮਿਰਤਕ ਪਿੰਡਿ ਪਦ ਮਦ ਨਾ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਏਕੁ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਸੁ ਨਾਗਾ ॥

It isn't just Muslims he's attacked though is it: Mexicans got it hard too.

That's cool. But I hope it isn't an excuse you've created in your mind to be lazy.

Why don't you train out of interest?

I am nothing. However, I can confirm that Waheguru has not made me lazy. Man is capable of nothing, dailysingh.

When we accept that everything is in Waheguru's will, Waheguru comes running towards us. Bhai Gurdas Ji states the following brother:

Charan Saran Gur Ek Paida Jae Chal.

Sat Gur Kot Paida Aage Hoye Let Hai

Waheguru is within us and within all. Waheguru resides in every being including Muslims.

Whatever one muslim has done to you brother does not make all muslims guilty. Sher Muhammed Khan Malerkotla is remembered by Sikhs everywhere for standing up to Wazhir Khan.

Sikhs stand up for injustice against all humanity not just injustice against Sikhs

Trump is going after groups who he deems (rightfully so) are behind todays problema, hes not blindly going after any minority. Hence I believe Sikhs wont be next, but these people fail to realize that. Bunch of whiny liberals, send them all to Iraq to their beloved muslims.

So a hard working Muslim man who supports his family and has no ties to ISIS should be deported?

This is not what Waheguru teaches us brother. I'm sorry but this is not right.

I think you have the right intentions but I don't think it is wise to ask how much bhagti someone does as it puts them in an uncomfortable position and I would not expect someone to truthfully answer. How many of us disclose our bank account details to any jana khana?

It was not just naam that helped Khalsa past to win battles, if this was the case why did Guru Sahib themselves practice mock battles from a young age and encouraged everyone to learn Shashtar Vidia and be shashtar dhari.

As per my knowledge, Trump no matter how much of a fool he is has not said anything about Sikhs 'yet', when the time comes we should protest and we have enough professional organisations that will step up to tackle him head on. We must not forget Trump is also acting within Hukam.

Guru Pyareo, forgive me if I have spoken out of line.

As we are asking questions: How much time do you spend physically training in a day?

Out of respect for my fellow Singh, I will tackle this question.

The short answer: Whatever time Waheguru has written for me to spend physically training.

Long answer: Everything happens in Waheguru's will. At times of struggle, some have been given duties to raise the sword while others have been given duties to spread the divine nam of Waheguru.

Bhai Nand Lal Ji was sent to spread the divine nam during many battles fought by the 10th Guru and their Singhs. Was this because Bhai Nand Lal Ji was a coward? It was not in Waheguru's will that Bhai Nand Lal Ji raise the sword as Waheguru had plans for Bhai sahib to spread the divine nam of Waheguru.

A more recent example is Dhan Shaheed Soorbir Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa sending Brahmgyani Baba Thakur Singh out to villages to continue preaching Sikhism rather than defending Darbar Sahib from the military. Does this make Baba Thakur Singh a coward? No. Baba Thakur was destined for greatness. For another 20 years after the military invasion of Darbar Sahib did Babaji continue preaching the divine nam and saving the souls of many thousands of beings.

I do what is in Waheguru's will brother. If Waheguru wants my head, Waheguru can have it.

Mate, you ain't helping yourself with all this.

Be a sant and a sipahi at the same time.

I understand if you're scared. These are trying times, where none of us know what to expect. There is a lot of apprehension around everywhere. But for your own sake, and the sake of others, start taking practical action instead of all this. Okay. What more can I say to you?

Wake up.

I was hoping you'd have an answer guru pyareo.

Perhaps some highly spirtual person can provide an answer to this question. If I had to guess, I would say bare minimum 4 hours a day.

Until we accept that everything happens in Waheguru's will, we will never break the cycle of life and death brother.

20 minutes a day. For a good few years now.

You happy?

Don't forget Bota and Garja Singh fought a Moghul contingent armed with simple clubs. People have to make do with what they have.

As we are asking questions: How much time do you spend physically training in a day?

Do you want to guess the nam simran time for an average shaheed Singh?

We must first become sant before raising the sword guru pyareo.

Chatanga,

We have not always seen eye-to-eye on this board but you are 100% accurate here.

Let's pray that Waheguru gives us the strength of deal with these masands.

Nah, we all know dasmesh pita wants us to to train and be be as prepared for trouble as we can be.

That's the conversation we need to be having.

If you can't do this (or don't want to) for whatever reason, fair enough - but don't undermine people who push this. We weren't supposed to sitting around idly waiting for miracles to save us in times of trouble.

Brother forgive me if I have undermined anyone. I don't consider that I have however, always seek out the good in others and seek out the worst in yourself.

dailysingh, forgive my question but I must ask.

How much of your day consists of nam simran?

Wat about the battle of panipat, between afghans n marathas? Who's side did we take? Did we intervene?.....erm NO! Why was that? Well because we r not that stupid, that we r gona spill our blood for others, knowing full well we get nutin out of it. The singhs waited for that battle to end, n smash the victors of that, knowing they wud b knackred, vulnerable n weak, n it worked like a charm. Thank god this khalsaman1 wasnt in charge then of the khalsa.

Brother StarStriker..

The Singhs waited for the battle to end because it was Waheguru's will. Man is capable of nothing. Gurbani preaches this over and over again.

ਰਾਜਾਸ੍ਰਮ ਮਿਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਨੀ ਤੇਰੀ ॥ ਤੇਰੇ ਸੰਤਨ ਕੀ ਹਉ ਚੇਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

We've been told enough times that we are supposed to be lions.

If you're scared, fair enough, but don't go spreading cowardice in the name of Sikhi for everyone's sake.

Calling me names accomplishes what exactly?

I am what Waheguru has made me. If Waheguru makes me a lamb, I am a lamb. If Waheguru makes me a lion, I am a lion.

I live in Waheguru's will. I am making this post because it is Waheguru's will brother.

Not going down like lambs to the slaughter. Making our own Lohgarh - a fort of steel.

Brother, if Waheguru wishes us to go down like lambs, than we shall go down like lambs. If Waheguru wishes for us to rise up and fight injustice with the sword, than we shall go down with our sword.

Waheguru placed Massa Rangar in Darbar Sahib. Waheguru then sent Bhai Sukha Singh and Bhai Mehtab Singh to remove his head.

Yeah of course I would, the thing about Muslims is that we can help them in the name of humanity but we should use extreme caution when helping them when it comes to their religious matters. You say after Muslims Trump will come after Sikhs fair enough (even though I think that will not be the case). But also when Muslims to start outnumbering other minorities their attitude always changes from oppressed to oppressors just look at history

Good answer as a true Sikh would always help a human in need.

We are all God's children. We must remain at peace. However, we must also speak out when injustice is about to occur.

Best thing is to be like f**k everyone and make yourself and your family as strong as possible.

Whoever wins out, Islamicists or white supremacists - we're going to have a rough time.

What principle of Sikhism does this fall under guru pyareo?

9th Guru Sahib was one with God. We all agree on that correct?

The 9th Guru knew that in the future the same Hindus he was going to sacrifice his life for, were going to betray the 10th guru and join forces in the raid of Anandpur Sahib.

Yet, 9th guru still sacrificed himself as Waheguru requested him to do so.

Everything on this planet happens in Waheguru's will. Waheguru gave this American Singh the courage to speak out and we are ripping him?

May Waheguru bless all Singhs with this kind of courage.

So you're comparing Trump to Aurangzeb ok.....

ghettosikh, guru da pyareo...

If a muslim was bleeding to death on the road with no one else around, would you help him?

Applying's OP asinine logic to the time of 9th guru sahib:

"Leave it upto some naive, fool of a Sikh Guru to go pick a battle with Aurangzeb when he has said nothing about Sikhs"

Leave it upto some naive, fool of a Sikh to go pick a battle with Trump when he has said nothing about Sikhs.

You have got to be kidding me.

Sikhs are to stand up for human rights and stop injustice. This man is a hero. He has done what our Guru's taught us to do.
