Balwinder Singh

any links to the news?

Are your parents forcing you for RIGHT reasons or are they just want u to be Sikh due to social reasons?

Understand the situation fully to get rid of this duality.

I personally do not beleive in "forcing" as it affects the soul directly.

I was in same situation when I was in my teens. I trimmed my beard and use to listen a lot from my Dad.

But with time I myself started liking my beard and I grew it back. It look nice now and I love it.

So I think give urself time and things will become more clear to you (in either direction).

People will tend to make u emotional (by citing Guru's stories or other things) but that emotion stays for a while and after that u will face the same dilemma. So make ur decisions wisely.

Also, you NOT a bad son as u r thinking too much abt ur parents. Bad people do not think this much about their parents. You are a GOOD son.

"Guru Ji right in front of all cut of his head from his body in one stroke"

Well I heard something else.

The head was cut, but NOT in front of everybdy, People say that there was a tent. Guru ji gave amrit to Panj in that tent also.

Its' all good, its' better to use Singh after you take Amrit. Because like this any average Balwinder could himself a SINGH, it doesn't mean that HE IS.

Thats so true.

What is it with people giving their kids english or just weird names . It relly does my head in. :<Edited>:

I see some people trying to move away from sikhi and their roots to such an extent that they have stopped using Singh & Kaur after their names and just using their family surname.

What' going on!!!!!!!!!!! :

I think "singh/kaur" should only be addded after they take amrit......cuz that what guru ji originally did. right?

gandhi freed india but when pakistan attacked india right after independence then what happened to fasting? next time pakistan attacks india, let's all sit on the border and tell pakistan we are going to fast until they leave. please. real and true methods of resistance don't change over time. the methods of the great mahatma barely lasted, whereas the spirit of the "misguided patriot's" khalsa protects the nation to this day.

i'll give you depth, but what is depth to an enslaved mind?

saanu lalkaarna howe ta soch samaj ki lalkaar, assi koyee aire gare ni, saadi wi hik wich punjab di dharti da khoon wagda.

Gandhi philosphy doesn't work everywhere or in every situation but he gave a good food for thought.

His life was very open to public view.

I personally do not acknowledge Gandhi methods but still he had the courage to do something which people never tried to its extreme.

Finding faults in every person of this world is very easy job. We can rip apart anybdy. But still I admire Gandhi as a unique creation of the almighty.

No matter how far you go, He is always behind you, following you. He causes you no interference, no matter what path you tread. He does not even stop you from going wrong, if that's where you are heading. He allows you to be wrong if you so wish, and in His tender love He does not remove His energy from you, but waits. He awaits your pleasure. He hopes that one day you will return and when you do -- ah, what joy, what ecstasy he feels!......

......We have a very deep connection with existence, and existence feels pleased -- so the Hindus have known from time immemorial. That is why it is said that when a person attains buddhahood flowers bloom out of season. Flowers open when Buddha passes by, whatever the season, for existence is filled with bliss at that moment.

This is what Nanak is saying, that He is so filled with joy and dances in ecstasy whenever the prodigal returns. This is the union of freedom and love. Do what you will, you cannot displease Him. His love for you is much deeper than anything you might do. But His attachment is not like yours. He doesn't chain you by the neck. God is not a prison; God is love and freedom. It is difficult to explain, for they appear so contrary, for when you love a person you take away his freedom, and when you give freedom you say goodbye to love.

This is soooooooo beautiful. It smells like Osho, but I am not sure. Specially the last line is like soooooo true.

Thanks for sharing.

i have a question....

if a person does good deeds... helping others... dont cheat...dont lie... etc etc..i mean everything good!!

but.. does no jap.. or paath!!

so... whts his position in life???... will he be accepted in the court of god???

reply sooonn.... i have to tel the answer to one of my frend!!!

vahegurroooooo

I am really really impressed by the answers given by Pheena ji. I need sources of all those experts in your above posts pheena ji.

Now, curious veer ji, your questions are very valid and u r going in right direction. I just want to mention beforehand that NO answer will satisfy u...u have to get ur answers by urself.

Like u r saying that "doing good deeds" against "naam japna". Naam Japna or "any other practise" which has a capability of making u balanced "mentally and spirtually", so that u can make unbiased decisions leads to "doing good deeds". If u r biased then there is a chance that u may do a "bad deed" but if u totally balanced ( or enlighted) then ur every action will be " good deed"....no matter what.

Bad deeds become bad because of the bad intention behind the deed. So "nam japna" or simran (I am not saying here "tota rattan", I am talking about real simran) or "any other practise" which can change u internally can do miracles.

So in summary, I can say, Nam Japna or any other practises are there to ensure that ur every deed become good and acceptable in Lord's court. When u r enlightened then u are like a flute played by the lord himself. "Har jio gufa andar rakh ke baja pavan bajaya."

On a side note:

I think u should do ur homework otherwise u wont get time to go to gurudwara

IMHO you should sleep well....and try not to stay awake late at night to avoid such "brain ticklers"

Why do u seprate human from God. Whats happening is God's play. Creator is in the creation itself. Its like Dancer is in Dance itself. Some people depict this with natraj....I hope i made some sense.

^ that was some cool advise.

This is new to me ....that somebdy is saying something abt Guru ji....but I have seen here a lot of "sikhs" saying derogatory stuff about hindus and their gods.

They use hindu word as if its a discease and use castiest words like bahman etc. forgetting one jot in all message by Guru Gobind Singh ji.

My very very sincere advise to you.

DO NOT make any ASSUMPTION about him and his ego. You may be WRONG

Talk to him and find out whats going on.

Do not discuss with some pre-judgement in ur mind about him. Ask him innocently about ur doubts.

Hope you will find something new.

Sarbloh veer ji its easier said than done. People have a habit of seeing things in black / white...good/bad......etc.

They can't acknowledge the diversity of the nature created by the Almighty.

when animals have sex...they dont get married...but we humans do!..so if we had sex before mariage.....what is the difference between us and animals??Plus.....sex b4 mariage is just PURE lust....just LUST..thats all..there is no love.(no matter what u people say).....Sex after mariage is a resposibility*edit* u learn how love them and live with them as Per Gurmat Maryada.....

Dhan Guru Ram dass jee......

beign married does not mean lust is not their , people get married and divorced nowadays what about them ?

Without being married also doesn't mean lust is there. God made everybdy unique.....every case is unique. You cannot generalize something in one ctegory.

Its called Spirtual Darkness.

its again duality....light/dark.

ummm

does Anand has it's counter part?

If anand is a state where u r mukt from duality (like happiness/sadness....or sukh /dukh) then its a grace of the Guru.

Its called Spirtual Darkness.

its again duality....light/dark.

think bout it...evrytin cums in pairs...

up/down

happyness/sadness

male/female

etc....

getz meh...

Very nice reply. It means a lot if we think about it.

Spirtual beings just break this duality.

i see youths like militant singh and his side kicks youth wanna be soorma's online to have demonic qualities (tamoguni qualities) which is quite opposite of qualities of khalsa.. khalsa is satoguni and rajoguni never ever never tamogun... its quite obvious when you dont have the concept of bhagti but more attuned towards shakti (just bir ras)...with only bir ras you can only get as far be a mob without proper jung maryada.

I agree with most part of ur post but I *think* khalsa is above all guns. Like real khalsa is above rajo,tamo and sato gun.

I know that its not at all related to the topic.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

lol, i love the above crazy answers.

Tell him as a friend that what he says is untrue, that many women, like yourself, don't want a clean-shaven Singh. Don't go outright and tell him about your feelings, but see if he changes his mind on his own.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

Nice advise.

Its hard to find people whom u really like....so....I dont know.

Responce to aman kaur ji:

that actually can be classified as idol worshipping.

I think people should first define what is idol worshiping and whats not.

Also, why is it bad to worship idols.

Guru fill a sikh with compassion and Love. I dont know love, so I dont know whether its an emotion or something else.

Caste is a big problem in India where members of lower castes suffer daily at the hands of upper class hindus. Before you begin to support Gandhi could you tell us why he did not wish to see the abolition of the caste system?

That's just one point.

I disagree with this statement about Gandhi. Can u prove ur allegation?

I dont think the original poster wrote anything about "conversion"....why everybdy is thinking the issue from that angle only?
