Guru Fateh!!

AM I ALONE?

Am I alone

Or is there someone else

Who feels my pain

At the state of the Panth.

We’ve forgotten the message

The message of Guru Nanak

“The path to Divinity

Needs no intermediary.”

We’ve become lazy

Want to be spoon-fed

It’s way to difficult

To understand the path of Guru Nanak.

These sants and babas

Have readily filled this need

Pseudo-claimants, Bedis and Sodhis

Have even claimed Guru-ships.

Heads bow to them

They are held in awe

For we lazy Gur-Sikhs

Believe they have the powers.

We’ve elevated them

To a state above their worth

By paying them special homage

Inflating their inflated egos.

Special utensils are brought

As they partake in “Guru ka Langar”

They sit in designated areas

Separated from the sangat.

I witness these shows

And don’t know what to say

My head hangs in shame

My eyes fill with tears.

I feel a sadness

As I hear the sangat share their stories

Of how these babas and sants

Can guarantee the birth of a son.

These sants and babas

In their white chogaas

Wearing Rado watches

Are the Sikh ‘Pundits’ of today.

“Ardaas” on wheels

Is the new wave

It is the easiest way

To fleece the sangat o

f today.

Wake up my fellow Sikhs

And see them for who they are

Just a bunch of clever orators

Claiming spiritual authority.

Take away their power

Do not cater to their egos

The path to Divinity

Lies in the Guru Granth.

I write this with love

As sewa to the Panth

Wake up my fellow Sikhs

Bow only to the Guru Granth.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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!!
