Sikhs Don’T Help Sikhs

[Guest Guest]

You say depression other Gursikhs say nirmata, maharaj expresses becoming low of the low and even lower, its a clash of western philisophy vs eastern dharma. Humilty is a great gift which is attained.

You may say depression, Gurmukh pyare may say Nirmata (humility) maharaj teaches become low of the low its good for us to become such, hankar ego bring so much corruption and poison this is the next step towards maharaj, we become very close to maharaj in biraag, dukh brings us closer to maharaj, the notion of depression, cynical, pessimistic is western theology. In the west the concept of material and worldly attachment is not vividly present and many notions of psychology contradict gurmat, another example would be the idea of being promiscous taking sexual partners being normal is against gurmat. Of course guru da sikh should be chardi khala in anand of naam, but one should be dead while alive and remembering god 24/7 doing simran sewa and satsangat.

Some may say depression in west, however in eastern dharma and Sikhi we would descibe the state as biraag and bringing nirmata (humility) maharaj teaches us to make our self lower then the low to grasp the dust of the feet of the congregation. In pride/ego great corruption comes. In dukh we remember maharaj and without dukh (suffering) we would not have remembered god and the concept of sukh (peace) wouldn't exist. Another example of western psychology contradicting eastern dharma is also partners and marriage, the west propogates ideals of courtship and norm of promiscious behaviour while alot of easter dharma consider this utterly dishonourable and disgraceful, we are a lucky breed of people who can get to pick the best of both worlds and choose not to do 1 thing or the other. This is all Satgur da panne (all in the hands of God, he has written what shall happen). We all really need to help each other, we are one of the only quam who finds pleasure in ruining each other as if we are in some competition with one another. Yogi bhajan talks about this problem even gives his experiences with Baba Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale

We all have a lesson to learn and should really do sarbat da pala, and help Sikhs and everyone else around us. As Sikhs we are a small minority of people 2% of India and smaller percentages around the world sooner or later our blood lines will mix, we are family, we will become family and we always were family even if we consider we all have one father, as a quam we need to help each other like ourselves as Humans we owe alot to this world and alot to do. May maharaj bless us all

Depression is most definitely NOT the same as vairaag. It is an illness, not something that one cultivates to gain humility.

Sikhs nowadays are divided.

I am a Sindhi Sikh living in Hong Kong, and simply from observation and comments on the Internet, I can say that Sikhs are dividing more and more by the day.

Punjabi Sikhs vs Sindhi Sikhs/Hindus in Hong Kong; very different practises of Sikhism, Punjabis are often denying on the Internet that Sindhis are Sikhs simply because they're not from Punjab.

Caste vs Caste: this is the clash that i despise most... Sikhs are all one but I always see Sikh "Jatts", as they call themselves, trying to differentiate themselves from what they call "lower castes". Guru Nanak clearly did not want caste in Sikhism but look what we've got here.

Khalistani Sikhs vs Loyal Indian Sikhs: the khalistani sikhs are generally from Canada/US/UK and normally have no idea about Sikhism because they tell others to murder all hindus and indians (is murder what Sikhism teaches???)..i've seen khalistanis argue with Indian Sikhs on YouTube and it is not something you'd wanna see.

Tejwant, trust me, the internet is not the right way to find out about Sikhs or Sikhi. I don't know what is wrong with some of the people who comment on Youtube etc, but it does seem to attract the worst part of society.

I've never heard any Sikh say "to murder Hindus and Indians", Khalistani or not. Many of the people posting as Sikhs on Youtube and other places aren't even Sikhs.
