Hello japmans,

If it were not for your interest shown by asking about it, I would probably have just let the 'Essay Marathon' laid to rest.

I think that the exercise turned out to be a little too time-consuming or uninteresting for many, so I thought of letting it go.

May be I should give it another try. So the next topic will be up this Friday, 18 June 2004. And maybe we will keep the topic open for a month.

GuruFatehJi.

Bhai Lakhvir Singh Jee,

your seva is appreciated by the sangat. Please don't give up.

I know how it feels that sometimes your sangat is not interested in the seva you're doing or they are not supporting as much as they could...

...but the most important thing is if you do something with full love, for the right cause, Guru jee never ever forgets one fraction of a second of your time spent in devotion.

bhul chuk maaf karnaa jee

stay in chardee kalaa :wub:

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw!

keep that spirit alive, your sewa will be appreciated, look how many viewed the posts.

heck i know what its like when you try to do some sewa, and people dont approve, ha, some people said i was no good because i'm a moona and should be a singh. you can only be a singh through pyaar, not otherwise. Bhullar was reading as well (on msn).

But the point is, ignore it when people say to you do something you dont want to do. If someone told you to lay your essay's to rest, tell them to shut it, like i did to that Sodh Angad Singh and Harjinder Singh (both from sikhnet.com) and all them other singhs who told me to be a singh. Just carry on with what you do, let them go to hell and you carry on with your sewa (people need to look at themselves before they can critisize).

(admin sorry for the nindak gall, but thought this story would be appropriate to this thread).

Lakhvir ji DON'T GIVE UP ON THE ESSAY MARATHON! ohmy.gifno.gif

I read all the essays and I liked the effort everyone put into them, they were really cool. ^_^ :wub:

I didn't write one cuz I couldn't think of what to write. I was really REALLY close to writing a few paragraphs for it, but then...I dunno, I changed my mind. I guess it wasn't in my fate to write a little essay for that topic.

but if there's a topic that I feel I will be able to write some words on, I definately will.

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      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…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!
