He Alone Is Known As A Spiritual Warrior

[militan4evabains]

He Alone Is Known As A Spiritual Warrior In Sikhi, we learn to balance the Saint and Soldier aspects of our lives. This means we fight a war throughout our entire lives in the battlefield of our minds. The daily battle is to neutralise the 5 Evils of Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Egotism and Guru Ji equips us with the Shastar of the Lord's Name.

Spiritual Warriors like Bhai Mani Singh Ji were cut piece by piece with hatchets but remained true to their faith. Gurbani is the greatest weapon as it pierces where those hatchets cannot reach. Once we equip ourselves with this Shastar then nothing can conquer us and we see ourselves as an instrument in the hands of the Lord's Will to be used as He sees fit. Then we use our faith through the soldier aspect through helping Society in the world around us. Sikhs are inherently activists and seek to help others. Do selfless service and correct injustices. One can fight in defence of their faith against the 5 Evils with the sword of Piri or spirituality as well as temporal injustices.

Shabad by Bhagat Kabeer Ji in Raag Maaroo on Ang 1105 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj:

The battle-drum beats in the sky of the mind; aim is taken, and the wound is inflicted.

The spiritual warriors enter the field of battle; now is the time to fight!

He alone is known as a spiritual hero, who fights in defense of his faith.

He may be cut apart, piece by piece, but he never leaves the battlefield.

On Panna 1015 of Sri Dasam Granth Ji:

O Surya! O Chandra! O merciful Lord! listen to a request of mine, I am not asking for anything else from you; whatever I wish in my mind, by that with Thy Grace;

If I fall a martyr while fighting with my enemies then I shall think that I have realised Truth; O Sustainer of the Universe ! I may always help the saints in this world and destroy the tyrants; bestow this boon on me.

On Panna 1015 of Sri Dasam Granth Ji:

O God, grant me this that I may not hesitate from performing good actions.

I do not fear the enemy, when I go to fight and assuredly I gain victory.

I may give this instruction to my mind and have temptation that I ever utter Thy Praises.

When the end of my life comes, I die fighting in the battlefield.

From Ang 1412 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj:

If you desire to play this game of love,

then step onto My Path with your head in hand.

When you place your feet on this Path,

then lay down your head and do not fear public opinion.
