Well Japman, although your analogy is sorta questionable, you do make a lot of sense. But if we continue with that analogy... :T:

Q:How do insects and bacteria become resistant?

A: They mutate.

Q: So what?

A: That is how speciation occurs!! (Mutations accumulated over time results in new species, and analogously, that is how jathas will "evolve" into new "religions" on their own.

This is mearly an observation. I have seen that many times, some individuals part of certain jathas are closed minded towards other members of other jathas. They treat them as having ruined the spirit of sikhi by simply associating with them. To stretch the analogy even further, what happens when two organisms can no longer associate with one another (ie: mate?) A: Speciation and the separation of jathas into religions of their own. As you can see, this is happening already, although at a very minor level.

Just something to think about think.gif

interesting... i think its some bad eggs*sorry if u dont like this phrase...i couldnt think of another appropriate term* who practise sooo much exclusivity that jathas have become dreaded....when in actual fact a jatha isnt so bad after all.

To me Jathas means the caste system, I can not stand people who say I am from this jatha or that jatha. They are singhs from one jatha (not all of them) that don't eat in Langer becasue its not cooked by Amritdhari people thats a load for rubbish. That reminds me of the brahmins caste thinking they are better then every one else. Then you get all these different rehat which one to follow, one says you can eat meat the other says no meat, because we havew all these different things this causes fights within Sikhi.

So I think they should be no Jathas and they should be closed and we all should have one rehat and be part of the Khalsa.

I think that says it all.

Guru Gobind singh jee said "MANAS KEE JAAT Sabhe EK hi pehchaniyo"

And still we see everyone as different.

First we Differentiate humans into categories

Then we Subdevide those categories by Religion

Then Religion is divided into Jathas

We divide our selves so much that people say "we didnt know there were sikhs in france" ;) @

1 Waheguru

1 Guru

1 Khalsa Panth

You guys bash me again, I'm not saying that having Jathas is a good thing. I totally agree that we should all be one. And we all wish, including me, that we were all one. But that is not reality. I think for us to be one, we would all have to agree as to how to follow Sikhi one way, not multiple ways. I personally don't think that there are multiple ways. Its not just Sikhism that is divided up into groups. Look at every religion of of the world, they all have sects or subgroups. There is no religion that is all united as one, they are all divided. That's just the way we humans are, I guess.......

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Thats why the other religionshave gone off the right path thats why sikhi was created. so if we have all these Jathas we will be doing the same thing as these other religion with all these different rehat no one will know what to follow, thats why we should get rid of all the Jathas and have one called the Khalsa and one rehat.

First thing you should do is change your name to sikhiforever.

    • 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!!
