Guru - Shishia

Recommended Posts

If you regard Guru Gobind Singh Ji as your Guru (don’t get me wrong, of course he is) then your relationship with him will be that of a Guru and Shishia.

This will require you to be very strict in all that you do. When you present yourself to your Guru then first thing your Guru will ask you is – Are you proper in your rehat? Do you get up amritwellay? Do you do ishnaan? Do you do your required nitname and banies ? etc etc and if there is any lax you will get punished , because the relationship is that of Guru and disciple.

Rather, have a relationship with Guru Gobind Singh Ji that of father and son/daughter. It is a lot easier and a lot more rewarding.

Because just like a child comes up to their father and clambers ontop of him, then you can do this with Guru Ji and Guru Sahib Ji will let you sit close to him. If you are lax or have made mistakes then Guru Ji will forgive you , as a father does with his son/daughter. You ask for forgiveness then your father , so happy to see his child, will of course forgive our shortcomings.

Regard Guru Ji as your TRUE father, sure we have a mother and father who gave us birth but our true father is Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Yes! The concept of punishment doesn't really sit well with me... it doesn't make sense..

My Guru is my best friend.. someone I invite round to watch a movie or have a sleepover with.. someone who knows me better than myself.. someone who watches out for me..

Then you have a very personnel relationship with Guru Ji and don't have to worry about anything.

Just as a child misbehaves infront of his father, the parent will not say anything hoping that the child will stop on his own accord. But sometimes the parent has to intervene, even when he gives the child a slap he will then invariably hold the child close to his chest, because to make the child understand it had to be corrected but he loves his still the same. In the same way we do silly things over and over and over again, Guru Ji is watching us all the time hoping we will stop ,when we do not he will give us a slap - does not mean he has stopped loving us, but he has had to correct our faults.

    • 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.
