God gives his true devotees true honor. All they do is put their reliance in God and in no one else. This is how they love him, and so in return God helps and honors them; as they recognise him he recognises them, hence recognising our needs. For example, when Harnaakash was arguing with Bhagat Prahlaad due to Prahlaad worshiping and reciting God's name, Harnaakash's enemy. Harnakash asked Prahlaad while taking out his sword preparing to kill his own son: "where is your god now", Prahlaad answered:"The Life of the World, the Great Giver, is my Help and Support in the end. Wherever I look, I see Him permeating and prevailing." In that instant, God came onto earth tearing down a pillar and appeared as NARSINGH (man-lion), and he then tore harnaakash with his nails, killing him -

ਸਰਣਾਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਹਲਾਦ ਜਨ ਆਏ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਸਵਾਰੀ ॥੨॥

Slave Prahlaad sought Your Sanctuary, and You saved his honor.

God honors us because we honor him. The Creation honors the Creator. Similarly, Bhagat naam Dev ji was honored by God; he was kicked out of the temple due to his caste but God made the brahmins bow down before him making a miracle occur, the temple turning towards his way.

This shabad sings about how Waheguru turned the temple to face Naam Dayv

heres a shabad by Bhai Niranjan Singh Ji

Bhai Niranjan Singh Moko Thoo Na Bisaar

This Shabad is by Bhagat Naam Dev Ji in Raag Malaar on Pannaa 1292

malaar ||

Malaar:

mo ko thoo(n) n bisaar thoo n bisaar ||

Please do not forget me; please do not forget me,

thoo n bisaarae raameeaa ||1|| rehaao ||

please do not forget me, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

aalaava(n)thee eihu bhram jo hai mujh oopar sabh kopilaa ||

The temple priests have doubts about this, and everyone is furious with me.

soodh soodh kar maar out(h)aaeiou kehaa karo baap beet(h)ulaa ||1||

Calling me low-caste and untouchable, they beat me and drove me out; what should I do now, O Beloved Father Lord? ||1||

mooeae hooeae jo mukath dhaehugae mukath n jaanai koeilaa ||

If You liberate me after I am dead, no one will know that I am liberated.

eae pa(n)ddeeaa mo ko dtaedt kehath thaeree paij pishha(n)ouddee hoeilaa ||2||

These Pandits, these religious scholars, call me low-born; when they say this, they tarnish Your honor as well. ||2||

thoo j dhaeiaal kirapaal keheeath hai(n) athibhuj bhaeiou apaaralaa ||

You are called kind and compassionate; the power of Your Arm is absolutely unrivalled.

faer dheeaa dhaehuraa naamae ko pa(n)ddeean ko pishhavaaralaa ||3||2||

The Lord turned the temple around to face Naam Dayv; He turned His back on the Brahmins. ||3||2||

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
