Nimrata


Recommended Posts

VAAHGEUROO JEE KAA KHAALSAAA VAHEGUROOO JEEE KEE FATEH

I just want to make a benti to the sangat, that as a sikh it is our duty to be humble and have some nimrata towards each other. Whatever we write, should be humble. We are all SIKHS and im sure sangat know what it means. We should be humble towards others and if something offends anyone, they should respond humbly explaining what they felt was wrong rather then attacking them and arguing. We shouldn't need to call our brother and sisters disgusting names and attack them. This is only a benti for sangat to show how humble they are and practise this. Also everything on this site should be sikhi based and we shouldn't need to talk about any sikhi things. Naam, Bani should be our main focus and this website should help us to gain more knowledge of sikhi which will help in our life. This is just a benti for the sangat to make sikhsangat a website which lives up to its name.

I hope this moorakh will live up to this aswell, and please forgive me for anything that may offend you. Bhull Chukh Maaf Khaalsaaa Jee.

It's just sad, because to be blunt, no one will EVER listen.

Many of us have posted similar bentis over the years on here but I think this forum (with ALL due respect) mimicks what we see happening within our community:

Back-biting

In-fighting

Contradictions

Intolerance

I REALLY doubt that things will change that much because after all, we are only human. The mods do a great job to try and sort things out but to be honest, it won't help.

There has to be a grass-route change in the way we deal with things.

I for one will be bringing up my kids totally differently to the way my parents borught me up. I've see all of the above issue within my own family and others.

Our parents generation, the last generation to have settled from Punjab, I think is the reason for our state. They are firmly routed in their upbringing and belifes which date back to the 50-70's.....whereas our generation (born outside of India) will hopefully see all the isses mentioned and can make a difference for our kids and the future of Sikhi.

Raising children to be firmly rooted in the principle of honesty can go a great way towards reducing these problems in our community. Comparing honesty today with olden times, when a Sikh could get a loan just by lending a dead hair to the lender as collateral, it's shocking how far we have fallen from this principle.

When we debate/discuss no matter how right we think we are, we must realise that the ends do not justify the means and use that as an excuse to lie just b/c an issue is important.

i agree with everything else u say except for that ^^^ we are only human? wel how else we gna do it? by being a monkey? we have the capability to do so but because of the kind of humans we are we don't WANT TO be good, we r humans an we need to start acting like the humans that guru jee wants us to be

    • 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.
