Bhagat Kabir Sahib was carefree, he had little regard of reputations and worldly praise and invited occasional slanderly. As his bani says, “slander me people, it is pleasing to the servant of the lord… slanders clean my ‘clothes’ ie soul’ “ One day he decided to see for himself how many of the village people truly followed him. 

He took a bottle, filled it up with water from the ganga river (considered sacred) and dyed it with color and made it look like alcohol. He then talked to the village prostitute and convinced her to walk with him throughout the village. She hesitated, she knew that Bhagat Kabir Sahib regardless of his various actions was spiritually elevated, close to God, Kabir Ji told her, don’t worry for this sins she will be forgiven. She agreed. Kabir Ji took her arm put it around him and he put his arm around her and walked the street holding a bottle to anyone’s naked eye would look like alcohol. 

All those village people who use to claim greatness of Kabir Ji started to slander him, they moved away, finally Kabir Sahib reached the kings party. Kabir Ji took the bottle (which was actually dyed water) and threw it onto the floor and it smashed and all the water came out.” This king had sworn in his life against alcohol, he had utmost respect for Kabir Ji (and never even used his name when calling) but today his mind became furious (His mind changed — God didn’t show him the truth) he was furious starting yelling at Kabir Ji using his name and slandering him. Kabir Sahib looked up and said king why are you upset, this bottle is just water there is nothing in it, there was a fire in the nearby temple, the fire was reaching the drapes (rumalas), so I decided to throw the bottle and the fire got extinguished.

 

The king not believing, sent his guards to the temple, they asked the priests there who said the exact same story at the same time. They said from don’t know where suddenly water splashed from the sky and extinguished the fire.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
