The following is from Salok Fareed Jee on Ang 1379 of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj:

ibrhw ibrhw AwKIAY ibrhw qU sulqwnu ]

birehaa birehaa aakheeai birehaa thoo sulathaan ||

Many talk of the pain and suffering of separation; O pain, you are the ruler of all.

PrIdw ijqu qin ibrhu n aUpjY so qnu jwxu mswnu ]36]

fareedhaa jith than birahu n oopajai so than jaan masaan ||36||

Fareed, that body, within which love of the Lord does not well up - look upon that body as a cremation ground. ||36||

Birhaa is the mind's pain of separation from someone and those pangs to be around them. Birhaa is repeated twice to show the heartfelt agony of separation. Aakheeai as the abandoned female separated from her Husband can do nothing but go from pillar to post talking about her pain to anyone and everyone who listens. This happens to people all over the world so many people talk of the pain of being separated from their Beloved. The pain is then called Sultaan or the ruler of all. Many think of worldly kings as rulers, others think of the Lord as the supreme ruler but its pain of being separated from the Beloved that rules over every heart, every soul, every mind everywhere... its the hurt of living as female souls without the having the happiness and inner peace of the Husband Lord with us which is the suffering of sufferings. This Chief of pains drives the entire Creation because if we were to achieve our life aim of merging our souls with the Lord we would be free of the cycle of birth and death, free from any hurt by the vices, but more importantly free from the agony of being without the love of the Lord as one who has the Lord needs nothing else..

Any tan or body where the love of the Lord does not oopjai or blossom is considered a cremation ground. Similarly on Ang 89 Guru Angad Dev Ji states "naanak jis pi(n)jar mehi birehaa nehee so pi(n)jar lai jaar | O Nanak, that human body, in which there is no pain of separation from the Lord-take that body and burn it." This is the place where the five vices burn away; turning all the love and energy of the soul into ash. The cremation ground of the body with a burning and writhing soul is considered the place where demons reside, a place where death surrounds you; a place of neverending sadness and despair - such is the body without the Lord...

    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • 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.
