I don't care if I do or don't get married because thats not the purpose of this life. Our goal is to merge with God.

marraige is suppose to help you achieve that goal rolleyes.gif there is a reason guru sahib told sikh to be gristee

I know, I agree with you but if no marriage is arranged because it some how doesn't work out, then I don't mind. I'm not desperate. Whatever Guru Sahib makes happen will happen and I will have to accept that. You can still reach SaachKhand even without marriage. For instance Dr Sukhrinder Singh and Bhai Sahib Rama Singh never wedded but still achieved union with God. I never said I won't get married or will get married. Whatever is written for me will happen.

I believe Guru Nanak proscribed that Sikh's should live the life of a householder, and therefore not to be celibate for the rest of their lives due to a failed marriage.

The Guru has given us the easiest way to live life and to merge with the All-Soul. Yet some people want to make the journey harder for themselves.

What can I say? The world is full of weirdo's.

An additional footnote: I've heard that women who don't have children die earlier due to poor health.????

Any female who would want to throw away the opportunity to experience the miracle of motherhood due to fear of remarriage, has 'a screw loose'.

..and there's nothing wrong in having 'a screw loose' as long as your receiving treatment for it.

Your replies are very rude and therefore unpersuasive. If we all spoke the way you do we won't get anywhere in life. I mentioned about not remarrying is mainly because I wouldn't want more than one spouse. And if I love Vaheguru then I can surely meet Vaheguru. That doesn't mean I'm in fear if I don’t want to remarry. You can experience the miracle of motherhood if you’re that desperate. And I don't mind having a short life. What ever Vaheguru has written will happen according to his will. We are all different and so have different views – respect people. Just because someone thinks differently from the way you do doesn’t make them a weirdo. Remember that Vaheguru exists in everyone, so you are calling Vaheguru a weirdo as well. Oho !!! :@

Alas, this gift God bestowed on Women alone.

...Why call women inferior?, when even the most mightiest king owes his life to a woman...

That's fine. Its up to you if you want your own desires to go ahead of what Sikhism teaches.

Not necessarily for all cases.

Remember that Vaheguru exists in everyone, so you are calling Vaheguru a weirdo as well. Oho !!!

Vaheguru existed in Hitler when he was alive, and yet Hitler was a pychopath.

Vaheguru existed in MSK when he was alive, and yet MSK was a moronic terrorist.

And still no polite reply. Its anti-gurmat to have more than one spouse. Besides if the first marriage never worked out why would I care about remarrying? To be honest, I don't care about marrying, I'm only marrying because Guru Sahib did this and because of my parent’s orders and it helps you get to Vaheguru. Don’t start attacking me just because I don’t care about marrying- it’s the way God made me , so argue with God if you dislike of what I say.

    • 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.
