Knowing What Caste U Are By Ur Dastar...

[Sunshine]

Gurfathe Ji...

Are the youth of today going forward or backwards?

We say our last generation are those who believe in the caste system, we know its wrong as after taking amrit there is no caste and everyone is as equal as each other... BUT, are we creating our own 'caste system' and not noticing?!?

We can tell what caste people are by the way they tie thier dastar, are we now doing the same thing, but indiretly creating a caste i.e jatha / group?

From the way pople tie thier dastar we can tell what 'jatha / group - caste' they belong to and from this they think they can exclude themselves from each other, becuase they know more or better than the other.

We think we know what is right or wrong and so tell others what to do because its the 'right' way... but the ONLY way we can know what is right or wrong is by taking a hukamnama and read into what Maharaj is telling us and act on that, not do what others 'think' is right.

To beat this kuljug we need to stick together, help each other in need and help each other grow in sikhi, not create barriers between each other - this will only take us a step back, we dont know what guun (goodness) people have, if we stay away from these people because they are not from the same 'jatha / group' we dont know how much we are missing out by not getting sangat of these people. There are good and bad pople everywhere, we should help those who are on the wrong path and take the goodness from the people who have gyaan.

Your thoughts and comments welcome...

Gurftahe Ji.

I don't believe in castes but I always wondered this......it is obvious that the point of a caste system is to create a "hierarchy" or "ranks"........but people in Punjab fight over who is "better" or "higher"...."I'm the best, no I'm the best" .......is it more about EGO and SELF IMAGE?.....

is it more about EGO and SELF IMAGE?.....

BINGO DING DING DING DING DING.... and we have a winnerrrrr :umm:

[wannabekaur5]

could ya give us an example of a type of "caste" that ties a particular style???

[anjaan]

off topic slightly but - never mind knowing what caste you are by your dastaar type, this sikh guy at work asked me why we wear different colours, he was like do people that wear white believe in Guru Nanak Dev Ji and people that wear blue believe in Guru Gobind Singh Ji? lol i really didn't know if i should laugh or cry :sady: haha gosh bichara was so confused by it all

there are many ways to tie the dastaar, and i dont think we will be able to all agree on one type of dastar such is the state of the world, so its up to everyone to treat everyone equally and respect eachother, lets try and not judge by dastar type. lets rid caste from our minds and be grateful that those who wear a dastar have found the Guru.........
