A Message For The Preachers...


Recommended Posts

i dunt think we shud go to random people and tell them tot ake amrit either

katha on stage is different

just going up to people and telling them is different

we shdunt force people, or bother them

let them make a decion for themselves

let them listen to katha

but odnt go running to them, like ure despreate for people to take amrit

if guru je has kirpa on him, he will take it

but us running up to people and being like jehovas witness is not a good thing, sort of annyoing

let them go to guurughar, and listen to katha

preaching is good

but dont go to indivusduls and start tellin em to take amrit

thas not how they gonna take amrit

u have to explain the bauty of sikhi first, and then slowly the person if kirrpa and in his karam will take amrit,

u cant do it all at once

first we have to show the beauty of sikhi, and let prem build up in them

if they have bno prem, was the point

i dunt kno, just my thoughts,im prob wrong, but w/e

bhula chuka maf

but veera, the situation HERE was that some guy around him jus vocally stated "i've been thinking about taking amrit", he wasn't forcing a view upon anyone, but deadquoteolymipan says that THAT incident was a solid case of preaching..

but you are spot on, we ain't no jehovah's witnesses...

nope japmans veera, the guy didn't say he was thinking about taking amrit, but he asked deadquoteolymipan to take amrit...

When I was 13, I was at a gurdwara and was being told to take amrit by a person i dont even know! I am now 15 and am still being preached too by people and am seeing it around me. I want to say now, PLEASE dont do that. It just angers people.

I havent read the whole discussion but i hope this is what you were refering to tongue.gif

I think the best way for a gursikh is to set themselves as an example.. we won't need to preach then... Let the image talk.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
