Wat is cologne???

OMG Surinderjit I use Aloe Vera too!! Once my sister was jumpin on the bed and cos we were hyper she banged her mouth into my head. The consequences of this were that her tooth went into my head and so I then had blood pouring out my head.

It was kinda scary but my mum used aloe vera to help the healing....I had a fresh one every day over my wound which was kinda cool. :)

aww they are such cool plants....we have so many in our house....you should grow another one!

EDIT - I ran a search on aloe vera. It says

People in Tamil Nadu, another state of India prepare a curry using Aloe Vera which is taken along with Indian bread or rice.

I wonder what that tastes like!! Must be gooey and the only vegetable I can think of which is like that is erm bindiyaa? So does it taste like bindiyaaaaa???

How did I know that when I opened this thread tonight, you would take something, which I, along with many others, said many moons ago and bring it to the forefront? It's not fair!! :)

I'm sorry, MR T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pity me because I am the fool!

This reminds me......u can take different types of Amrit and once I met this lady who was forcing me to take Amrit of the Baba she took it off.

She was like his Amrit is amazing, I can still wear lipstick and jewelllery and still be Amritdhari, dear bheta ure young and u don't want to take a strict Amrit, you want to be young and enjoy yourself and so take the same one as me. It was such an odd conversation. Its like when you meet Amritdhari people and they tell you that their Amrit allows them to eat meat. You just dunno what to say...so all u can do is smile, nod and walk away.

I just looked at this aunty when she was telling me about her lipstick and she had makeup everywhere and I thought omg I'm not gonna take Amrit for the sake of it. I don't want to reach minimum standards. Being an Amritdhari is lifelong learning. Everyone has minimum for you to join but ure meant to progress and get deeper and deeper into sikhi.

What I mean by this is that no Amritdhari is perfect but your supposed to learn more and more and aim for the ideal state of mind. In this case adorning yourself is not the correct way. Its negative brain conditioning....it supports a fickle industry and brings about nothing good in the world...why waste time, money and energy on such a worthless pursuit.....in occordance with the teachings of bani and those of sants Jewellery has no place in sikhi due to its purposeless nature. I wish I could explain this better..

    • 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.
