A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class

play a game. The teacher told each child in the class

to bring along a plastic bag containing a few

potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person

that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that

a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on

the number of people he/she hates.

So when the day came, every child brought some

potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated.

Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5

potatoes.

The teacher then told the children to carry with

them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go

(even to the toilet) for 1 week. Days after days

passed

by, and the children started to complain due to the

unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes.

Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry

heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved

because the game had finally ended. The teacher

asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes

with u for 1 week?" The children let out their

frustrations and started complaining of the trouble

that they had to go through having to carry the heavy

and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind

the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the

situation when you carry your hatred for somebody

inside your heart. The stench of hatred will

contaminate your heart and you will carry it with

you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell

of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine

what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your

heart for your lifetime???"

Moral of the story:

Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so

that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving

others is the best attitude to take! Love others

even if you don't like them...

=====

Love is not measured by how you feel, but how you make the other

person feel

      Some Observations After Visiting Punjab for the First Time in Over a Decade

      By BhForce · Posted

      Whatever problems the Afghan Sikhs have or Punjabi Sikhs have, it's much better to support them than the Muslims.

      Islam has become Redpilled in the West...Everyone is converting to Islam

      So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?

      Amritsar and Punjab: left out of the New Silk road

      By BhForce · Posted

      Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.

      Child marriage questions

      By BhForce · Posted

      Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By BhForce · Posted

      You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
