Sikhnet Fallacy

gurmsutuk singh ji has emailed me, i emailed him twice on this issue. anyway, this is what he said, i suggest you email him if you have any other problems...

Sandeep, Again as I had said before in other emails. Everyone has a different perpective and opinion of how things should be done. GTKK just giving advice and trying to have the person think for herself. The forum is not a place to tell people what to do and be judgemental. They try to be very open minded and have people think about the questions and make

decisions themself. The Gurus were very openminded and we cannot get caught up in judging what is right and wrong. There are always two sides.

No matter how many emails we send then, nothing is change Becasue Gurumustak Singh has a very different views. He posted something on Sikhent Discussion Forum that i i did not quite like. I could not find it. Probably they deleted that post. I will search again and if i found it, i'll post it here.

OOOOOOOOOOS! I found that post. Here is what he says:

"One thing to think about: "Is there a difference between Sikh and Khalsa?" That might give you a different perspective instead of grouping the two.

To me (in a simplistic way) a Sikh is someone who is a Seeker of God and who follows the principles and teachings of Guru Nanak. I feel it is not necessarily someone who wears a turban. Another thing which many people overlook is, Women. Why do most Sikh women not wear a turban also? There is no Gender in Sikhism right? Or is there. There seem to be multiple standards."

Please click on the link below to read the entire post. There are some things that I agree, but some I don't. Please also read the replies by other peole to hispost. The link is:

Sikhnet is a funny site. I use to read it's news and discussions everyday. However, now I turned to Sikhawareness and SikhSangat, and found more rational answers.

Although, Sikhnet is a great site, especially its matrimonial service, and information about Sikhi, shabads, and International Sikh News, it has some of the stupidest moderators.

For example, I use to read answers from the YOUTH & QUESTION FORUM, and they gave the most ridiculious responses.

Most kids had problems with depression, or other things that normal adolescents go thru. And the responses from the moderators go something about these lines: "Place your index finger to your thumb, press it slightly and relax in the name of Waheguru and repeat these words everytime you touch ur index finger with another- Sa with your index, Ra with your middle finger, and so on...

I laughed at their answers. They make religion seem so mythical. Kids that need help don't need bs responses like these. Or even some post replies as "GO PRAY TO GOD"...how will a simple kid that doesn't know anything about Sikhi, know how to pray God. Most teens are rational thinkers, and sometimes these questions can be answered in simple terms, not in some outrageous terms.

Bhul Chuk Maaf Karni,

Gurjote Singh

    • 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!!
