SIKHS <---- last prefered

maybe we should start a different topic for this? it's interesting, and there could be a lot of reasons for it.

it could be because image-wise Sikhs stand out, and people can be cautious or afraid of new things due to ignorance or just apprehension. firstly we don't drink or smoke, and i suppose as you go further towards becoming a gurmukh things like socialising might become a lower priority in life? it also depends on what people think a 'sikh' is. i doubt many people know what a Gurmukh/'true' Sikh actually is. (sorry if that sounds bad.) but nowadays Sikhs can be seen to drink etc..not exactly portraying an accurate image. maybe if Khalsae/Gurmukhs were included in the poll they would be further up, who knows. i'm sure a Gurmukh would be a loving soul, attractive to all. (would back this up with Bani but the computer is too dodgy for sttm.)

to the orginal poster - there's no need to feel guilty if you're true to Guru Ji, you won't go wrong. Guru Ji always knows the truth/motives behind any actions. and killing yourself is generally against Maharaj's Hukam; not a good road to go down.

I think gurmukhs are rare to find, they are compassionate people they have piaar for all, quite often some people have differences with elders, or youngsters and after that if they ever meet they wont try and pick the good parts out they will always feel remorse and guilt one or the other about the specific differences very rarely do they look past it and accept that they agrree to disagree. This is where the gurmukh is different they will smile and carry on their daily routine, it makes no effect on them whatsover about anyones opinion or viewpoint. However guru ji did not just instruct them to ignore these people but stand up when needed, not sit quietly while someone is preparing to attack you or is going to attempt to, not to stand and watch clowns do inadequate acts in around any aspect of sikhi. Even then they will only seek to correct the person or solve the problem they shall not seek revenge.

But thanks alot for raising this interesting point, i wonder how many ppl will actually reply to this,.

gursikhs dont stand out, its the "punjabi ppl" that do

the sikhs are being portrayed as Punjabi

the tipical punjabi that drinks and partys and is very aggresive.

and also in class a somalian muslim girl started saying sikhs are so strict with their mirages, dont let girls go out, and she said sumtin else that really shocked the whole class which i didnt hear, i think it was like sikhs are so agresive and tempered ppl that cant control it. so now shes sending out fake negitive image for sikhs. ppl dont know the diff between the punjabi culture and the sikh culture.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
