Dear Guru roop sangat ji, (My second post, lol)

Another happening I want to share with you guys. This one is something that I realised today, and the above Tuk of bani from Guru Amar Das Ji, really says it all.

Every tuesday I am at a GP Surgery for teaching and seeing patients (Im studying Medicine). Today I saw this guy (gora) in his fourties, and he was an alcoholic. I did the usual, took history and examined him etc.... He drinks over 2 and a half bottles of whisky a day (That is alot). The rate he is going he will prob be dead soon. It was soo sad to see this, as i spoke to him i felt alot of bairaag, i felt his pain also, he spoke of his problems, of his worries, and that without the drink he would die. I really understood what he was talking about, he was talking from his heart, he was slightly drunk, but said to me he behaved today becasue he was comming to see me so he only had 4 cans of beer in the morning!

this guy is soo addicted that he NEEDS the alcohol to survive, he has neglected his family etc... (i wont go into details), and the only person he cared about was himself, or the fact that he needed alcohol. I thought to myself, 'waheguru' this is the piyaar, the longing that a person should have for GOD, not sharab. Its sad to see how the panj chor (5 thieves) an totally take over a person. This guy was really nice to talk to etc..., and he was well aware of the problems he had and the xonsequences of them to his health and to others around him, but he looked me in the eyes and said, honestly, that he could mever stop until the day he dies. This really hit the spot, I was just speechless, i even tried talking to him in an unpofessional way, like a friend, just saying things like what are you doing, think of your wife, your kids etc... But to no response......

its amazing, we can do nothing, all is in his hukam.

Its sad to see though,

just think sangat ji this is the scenario with alot of punjabi people, esp sikhs, lets try helping them, talking to them etc....

ALSO just appreciate what we have, even the air we get to breathe, the food, the two legs, we have etc.... WAHEGURU WAHEGURU WAHEGURU WAHEGURU WAHEGURU WAHEGURU

The very fact that we even get a chance to think about GOD, and have darshan of guru ji is next level, its sooooooooooooo amazing.

There are poeple in this world who are just lost, truely lost.

May Guru ji bless the world, its such a sad place, kaljug is in full force, thats why 'we' the Khalsa, Guru Gobind Singh Jis Army must be tyaar par tyaar, ever ready to GIVE

Waheguru ji!!!!!!

The foolish self-willed manmukh does not remember the Lord's Name; he wastes away his life in vain.

But when he meets the True Guru, then he obtains the Name; he sheds egotism and emotional attachment. ||3||

Brother, I work with Alcoholics in our community in my spare time.

Alcohol is destroying the flower of our youth. It tried to destroy me and killed my Grandfather. Luckily I found our Guru's will.

What I suggest is get in touch with AA, and get some literature from tham and give it to this man. I have been as an external observer to an AA meeting (Open Meeting), and their programme is a spiritual one, very much based on the Sikh principles.

They have a prayer. Its called the Serenety prayer and I must say I like it and it state:

God grant me serenity to ACCEPT the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things Ican, and the wisdom to know the difference

Sounds very must like something our 10th master wrote hey! :lol:

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.
