I apologize about the title of this thread. its too blunt and maybe be offensive to some. All I'm trying to say is that isn't it better to be positive and focus on our own Sikhi, instead of always pointing out the faults in others? There are always going be people who have different views than ours( whether it be a certain Jathabadi, Kala Afghan crew, Nihangs etc.) At what point do we stop pointing out and attacking these differences, and just follow the path we feel is right in our hearts? We are getting distracted from our true goal in life, which is union with God, and our lives become full of negative emotions when we keep following controversy. We can't change everyone. No matter what you do, you cannot change certain people's views, no matter what you say or do. I have learned this life lesson in the past 10 years of my life, because I used to do the same thing. Then i thought to my self...there are 6 billion people in this world, and 99.9% have different views than yours. I just say respect everyone, be a good Sikh, and let God be the judge. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

I don't think anyone was offended, but i think you misunderstood. No one is saying they're wrong, but as sikhs, we have the duty to protect our religion. If someone tries to change who Sikhs are it is our duty to clarify and spread the truth, for if we start ignoring it our children and their children may be effected by this misinformation. Through such misinformation the true essence and meaning of Sikhi could be lost.

vaise, I won't say it as I am protecting my religion. I don't think SIKHISM needs anybody's protection. Its US, Sikhs who need to be protected by SIKHISM. SIKHISM is the way of living, way to get salvation, way to get connected with our innerself, connected with GOD. Why would SIKHISM needs your protection? Isn't it you who needs protection/guidance/wisdom from SIKHISM.

Vaheguru doesn't need anybody's protection. ITs teachings contained in SGGSji, that one needs to survive and get out of 84million life cycle.

SIKHISM won't go down the drain just because some people don't think of their life as a golden chance as a human to jap naam.

Don't you think??

That's true I guess, but I didn't really mean it that way. What I meant was if someone tries to change what Sikhs believe in it could later on effect generations to come, even if it doesn't effect you directly.

I mean, there's a reason why a lot of people go to fake babay now a days instead of living a life filled with real Gursikhi.

Yeah I agree we are the ones who need protection guidance from Sikhi and Gurbani, I didn't mean it the other way. wacko.gif

Ratan do tell me, if some guys comes and he hits ur dad or anyone in ur family in front of you, would u just wait? and let police deal with it? and say u not gone do anything "cause it not ur job to fight".

there is big difference between defend and fight. When it comes to defend, u always gone have oppent who is attacking u, so most gursikhs are doing same. We will defend our sikhi and follow it.

    • 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.
