The Enemies Of The Khalsa?

[Sarbloh]

The day we start to believe that we have enemies in the world is the day we become our worst enemies.

Who are the enemies of the Khalsa? The reason I ask this is there seems to be current over paranoia about conspirators who are out to “destroy” Sikhi? Looking at our history, can Akal Purakh Ki Fauj really be destroyed? Sri Akal Purakh is nirbha-o nirvair (No Fear. No Hatred), then can Akal Purakh Ki Fauj harbour any hatred towards anyone?

Jab lag Khalsa rahe niara. tab lag tej dio mai sara.

So long as Khalsa retains the distinct identity, I will give him my entire radiance and strength.

(Dasmesh Pita Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj)

Does this over paranoia boil down to our own weakness’ and lack of appreciation of Sikhi. If our reni/beni revolved around Gurbani and Rehat (which makes the Khalsa “niara” or distinct) then we will see what hypothetical threats these groups actually do pose to us as. Until then all we will ever do is continue tormenting ourselves about these Islamic conversions rates, the RSS Hindus or all the thousands of other groups that come and go.

Elder Gursikhs sometimes say that these so-called "kumiya" (shortcomings) of the Panth that you see around you are your own "kumiya", no one elses but yours! As soon as you work on your kumiya then watch how the environment around you changes!

I agree with evrything you wrote up there and it is true, got a question now: but wouldnt we class people that use propaganda to have Sikh people convert to other religions as enemys?

If a certain group’s propaganda is so easy to convert “Sikh” people to other religions then arguably did that person who converted understand Sikhi in the first place? Is the propaganda creator unintentionally highlighting our weakness’ and poor relationship with our Guru? Is he then an enemy or someone Guru Ji has sent down to give us a reality check!

According to their own actions, some are drawn closer, and some are driven farther away.

ok thanks 4 clearin that up lol

Our own worst enemies are ourshelves. we do not teach our children nothing about sikhi. Not everyone is gonig to be perfect in sikhi.

a threat to sikhi other than that is the propaganda that is put out by rss and muslims etc... this obviously can be counter attacked by good parchar.

but the muslim issue where they use rape drugs etc. is a bigger problem we seem to always put this problem under the carpet. we seem to blame the girls for being in that positstion.

the khalsa used to go and protect and bring back girls that were taken away by the mugals... but todays khalsa cant even protect is own sisters

Do we prematurely label ourselves Khalsa even though we are still so far away?. The Khalsa, the saint-soldier married to the two-fold ideal of Bhagti and Shakti, who combine self-respect with humility. Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaj, the creator of the Khalsa regarded himself as a servant of the Khalsa. The Khalsa is given a position equal to that of the Guru. The Guru consists of two parts : the body and the Name. The Guru nominated the Khalsa, as his body and Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the embodiment the Name. That is why we use the title of Guru-Khalsa.

How many of us at this point in time are truly, honestly capable of carrying the title of the Khalsa? Not me. But our direction should be to attain the qualities of the Khalsa, not to adopt the title so easily. Through the merits of the Khalsa, we will be able to comprehend the real problems and the real solutions.

agree with you completly but thats not to say just because we aint khalseh we shudnt do nothing to prevent such things

[Prem]

Can you imagine a Punjab wide campaign by Khalse against the evil of female foeticide?

Do you think preventing the extinguishing of one quarter of Sikh girls in the womb is a good and righteous struggle? Or are we to get involved in superficial disputes?

The way I see it is this -- the Sikh race is heading for a catastrophe unprecedented in human history -- of killing and destroying all the females amongst us. This is an urgent thing. Why shouldnt the Khalsa set itself the task of combatting this?

No Sikh girls -----> moral degeneration of men ---------> no Sikhs ----------> no Khalsa

[Sarbloh]

Agree with Braham Vidya and Prem, I might be miscommunicating myself in that I am not saying the we should take a back seat in anything until we get the divine revalation. But we should always be looking at all perspectives and really getting to the root of all problems. What Prem is highlighting is a major problem and a classic case of we reap what we sow. Maharaj told us not to do the sangat or “kurimaars” (girl killers), yet we still bread a culture which put the birth of a boy superior over the birth of a girl, something that is still subtly practiced in Punjabi families today. We turned out to be our own enemies here because our egos were not willing accept what Guru Ji told us.

[Prem]

Khalsa are saint-soldiers ---- can you imagine anything more urgent than the need to defend girls inside the womb from mass murder? GIRLS IN THE WOMB!

Shouldnt the Khalsa be defending them? Khalsa was created to defend the weak. Can you imagine the power of Khalsa enforcing laws on this, linking up with scientists and activists, demanding action be taken?

How can there be anything more weak and helpless than an unborn girl? Shouldnt Khalsa be defending them?
