Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

We are supossed to follow Waheguru's Hukam, that's one of the reasons we mantain our body intact. We accept it as a gift, a great one. Waheguru Ji is not stupid and he made us this way, if we want to change us (even if it is not permanently) is like we are saying that He does not made us right and we are better than He so we change us. I think we should humbly and gratefuly accept our eyes, skin, hair color. Why to hide what Waheguru give us? Let's be pride of what we are and have.

Tatoos is a way of changing us, if Waheguru wanted us to have a sign on our body He would give us one for sure! But He didn't.

Besides, to get a tatoo has a very serious health risks; yesterday I saw an article on T1MSN (Mexico) about tatoos and piercing, it says that it's very dangerous for many reasons.

You can get VHI, Hepatitis B (dont know how to say it in english),Skin Cancer, Psoriasis, Toxic Shocks (some of them use ink for painting cars), etc. There have been many cases in Europe.

The article is in spanish, sorry, but if you want I can translate it and post it next monday (cause I'll be very bussy today).

That's my humbly opinion

About changing the colour of the eye, it is not a necessity and more like make-up. So it should not really be considered okay. Even attachment to jewellery is wrong too. Wearing rings etc. People say that they arent attached to their rings, but then why is it that they can't get themselves to remove 'em! Slowly we will get into 'moh' (wordly attachment) with bigger things without realising it!

Like bhainjee said, natural is the best. Thats an honest and clean look.

Veera khalistani,

I believe its OK to colour our eyes. Besides there are many other things we colour that you probably didnt even think of e.g. food with haldi, books, clothes, etc so whats wrong with colouring eyes?

I really dont think Waheguru Ji has time to punish people for wearing coloured contact lenses as there are more important issues. (Just joking about the 'time' thing as Waheguru is timeless himself but my point is wearing coloured contacts is nothing big).

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

Veer/Bhain Doctor_Mani jee,

You said that we even colour our food. This has no relation to whether we can wear contacts or not because food is not our soul that we are trying to spiritually make pure!

But Gurbanee does say about not to over indulge in food, Tohraa Kanaa, Tohraa Sonaa...we must eat little and sleep little.

Secondly, then you went on to say, that we wear different colour clothes. Again that does not have direct significance, BUT Guru jee says that we must dress simple!

NOW, then you went on to say that Vaheguru ji doesnt have time

to punish people who wear coloured contact lenses. This is actually our dillusion! Let me explain.

If I were to over induldge in food, i would excessively become fat and i would constantly crave for food and more food, when really my true craving and addiction should be NAAM.

If I were to over indulge in buying colourful clothes, i would be totally missing the point of living my human life. Why would i want so many colourful clothes, to attract wrong attension?? In the end, i may become a shoppaholic and instead think about clothes and not NAAM.

Slowly by over-indulging in food, clothes etc my mind will become more distant from Naam, or should i say Vaheguru jee!

Guru ji didnt leave behind Dhan Guru Granth Sahib ji for no reason. There must be something SO powerful about Gurbanee...Naam is our KEY to reach SaachKhand.....

We can now also say that wearing Contact Lenses does not have direct effect on our spirituality!

BUT it does...by wearing different contacts, over-indulging in clothes etc, i will become SELF-absorbed....Gurbanee says that we are to free ourselves from maya, duality, wordly attachments, ONLY after we begin to untie these bonds, then we can move towards Vaheguru ji. So in the end we hinder our spirituality.

AND hence therefore, we punish ourselves! Vaheguru ji does not need to make the punishment.

What we sow is what we reap, (Guru Nanak Dev ji)

Gurbanee also says that Vaheguru ji is the enjoyer of all pleasures. In the end, Vaheguru ji enjoys, but the funny thing is that it is us who have to suffer for it. But even that is medicine to our soul! Dukh Daroo, Sukh Roag Paiyaa!!

Therefore Marf Karnaa, but according to Gurmat, wearing coloured contacts is absolutely pointless. Its point serves no purpose for a Gurmat jeevan!

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
