Can Non-amritdharis Avoid 4 Cardinal Sins


Recommended Posts

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh

Veer Ji, I'm a little confused as to whether you're asking can they, or do they. Of course they can, if they are aware of this way of life but whether they do is a different story. Also, please forgive me and someone please correct me if I'm wrong but is it not 5 "sins"? Kam (Lust), Krodh (Rage or uncontrolled anger), Lobh (Greed), Moh (Attachment or emotional attachment) and Ahankar (ego)

A friend of a friend who was a goraa from Russia and was not a religious person as far as I know (I never met him) pretty much lived his life according to that as well as not smoking, drinking etc. So I guess anyone can, if they want to! :)

Bhul chukk maaf karnaa ji,

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh

Anyone can with the grace of the true guru, i suppose if you have taken amrit you are more likely to have that grace.

Actually, i asked this question to a pretty nice amritdhari and he told me that if an amritdhari does not keep a good rehit, he will be beaten by maya and will get patitt sooner or later. I agree rehit is the key to a spiritual jeevan but if one is weak in rehit, will that person get pattitt ?

To be bit more clear, what that person meant was that the 4 bajjar kurehits are the 4 special evils of Maya and unless one keeps an ok rehit, one will be beaten and will get pattitt.

Are there non-amritdhari punjabi people or people belonging to other faiths who dont commit the 4 cardinal sins mentioned in Sikh rehat maryada ?

For certain Christians alcohol is consumed in Church. Some Muslims and Jews believe that you must cut your hair/beard in a certain way. Other faiths accept polygamy. And others condone the eating of certain types of meat/halal meat.

But having said that there are probably spiritual people in the world who do not have these beliefs and personally adhere to the same "rules" as we do. However whether they follow this rehit because of of faith/religion is a different matter.

    • 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!!
