Muslims do what they do, and it works regardless of the ethics behind it. If I was a Christian, I'd do what they do in India, which is "kill them" with kindness. I'd help the poor and disenfranchised with whatever social and personal issues ail them, whilst alluding to the desire that I expect something in return, i.e. conversion, AND hammering home the fact that the Sikh orthodoxy and it's adherents don't care for them. A gareeb wants medicine for his sick child, not a lecture on killing Ego, lol.

It doesn’t matter, killing the ego is still the end goal of a Sikh, and without it, one cannot become one with the One. 

Its at least better to accept the endgame of a Sikh (to kill the ego) rather than to create excuses to justify it. It’s ok if a person isn’t a saint as they start off, but that’s still something they work towards. 

I agree, it's something to work towards.

Only for the weak minded. The origin of all is without ego, as long as the ego exists of course the 5 Evils will exist. Bani clearly talks about killing the Ego, it doesn’t tell you to hold on. 

Let's not try to fly before we can even dream of crawling. For 99.9% of people aspiring to follow Sikhi to the letter, killing Ego is an abstract and unfathomable concept. How many people do you know that have destroyed all trace of Ego within themselves? It's not impossible if Gurbani prescribes it's true, but humanity isn't perfect. Control is the first step, and for most people, the last. You may call it weak minded; I call it being realistic and not over-reaching.  

They've got the infrastructure, support, and administration aspect spot on.

...having said that, its very frusturating seeing a culture that is so steeped in agriculture and the past and the notion of over sentimentality when it comes to "FAMILIES" ...as if having kids is the best thing in the world and nothing else really matters...what about overpopulation? what about science? why do Sikhs focus on such tradition instead of focusing on the here and now??

That's an inevitability when most of the Sikh influx into Canada are, or were, farmers and/or owners of agricultural land. You can't "educate" agriculture out of a people over the course of a few months or years, especially when it's in the blood, so to speak, for generations.

In answer to the first question as that's all I can lol...Stating the truth cannot be deemed as Nindya as one is not concocting false stories to make oneself look superior. There is a BUT. Sometimes it's better to refrain from telling the truth if we think it can cause heartache.

We see it all the time on this site. A person is "exposed" by presenting undeniable facts about their conduct, but his or her supporters adamantly present the nindya argument as a defence to shut down discussion. 

When does stating an opinion, or even cold facts, cross over into the territory of nindya? Does intention and the manner in which those thoughts are expressed have a bearing on how this issue is viewed?

Lol.

My daughter (not nails) at age 4 or 5 was cutting paper on her table, and by mistake (b/c her hair is long), cut a strand by mistake.  She came crying to my wife and I, and was truly scared that GOD would be mad at her.  

This thought was probably instilled into her by parents, and part of our religious culture. 

I see. Makes sense now.

Jagsaw is not a Taksali, lol. 

This thread is one of the more subtle wind-ups in the Gupt section. It's good.

I was kidding, but anyways you'd think that an assassination attempt would make him more active, its a bit odd that a man that preaches about letting go of life and not being attached would feel so terrified.

It's almost as if these people don't practice what they preach.

dont be so fatphobic.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Making an observation from a place of objectivity is not a criticism. He has gained weight. That's a fact. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the attempt on his life a while ago.

Seriously admins, you are doing a terrible job allowing troll posts

It's funny albeit juvenile stuff, lol. I look forward to what fresh reason these jokers think of in order to post another, "Should I pesh?" topic.

He's gained a noticeable amount of weight, too. I wonder if he's suffering from an obviously undiagnosed form of trauma?

I really hope he does not bat for the other side, that's the last thing we need a binga parcharak, could lead many astray.

In this day and age, if he was smart, he could turn it around and make it work for him. But he'd have to keep his head down and ride out the initial controversy. He'd have to wave goodbye to the mainstream rank and file, though.

Jagsaw has had it in for them since the 'iffy' allegation were brushed under the carpet in 2015...haha!

He may be onto something, but innocent until guilty I suppose, if not on the earthly plane, which is increasingly one of injustice and deception, then the one where the Big Guy upstairs resides.

Don't ever attempt to silence or suppress the voice inside you that provides you with such insight.

He's still a baalak. I think he's confused maryada with what he learnt in his sex education classes.

First there was jupping Naam whilst on the job, and now there's conducting an ardaas halfway through it! Do Sikhs actually do this? 

Are you being pressured by your parents into getting married to a Punjab based woman?

Premarital sex - I am not really sure about this one. You can't really do it accidentally. I was just told that if you don't take a moment to think while you do it then its bye bye for you, otherwise if you stop mid way then do an ardas to keep you safe.

What?
