Sat Shri Akal,

I am a writer and I like to use writing to get close to Waheguru. Whenever i am thinking about writing something or I am writing something I think of Waheguru. Please help me stay close to Waheguru by suggesting interesting topics on Sikhism i could writing about. You can also suggest topics that you have always been curious about and I will do research on it and write about what I found on the topic. Just keep them Sikhi related.

And before you boys start suggesting that I write something to explain the bibi that they shouldn't do make up, thread their eyebrows and stuff. I am already in the process of writing a paper on this topic. Actually 2 papers, one for the boys and one for the girls. None of us our blameless.

Thank You!

Thats just not a question, at the end of the day Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the living Guru and there is no other way that proper satkaar can be ensured. Anyway you forget what Guru Granth Sahib Ji brings, i.e. wherever there is Maharaj there is pangat (langar, shelter) flowing to the brim. I think this would be a justifiable question if money was not actually spent like that on those suffering from poverty, however it is, so its a non issue. Rather, why not question our own luxurious habits, instead of the bringing of bani which actually teaches us about daya and sharing and is in fact the source of all of these things.

In regards to the OP, I'd would suggest an article on the importance of larivaar saroop of Maharaj, and how so many mahapurash have spoken against the act of paad ched of bani.

Good point. I guess if bring Sr Granth means langar/community service/etc. its still worth it to get as many as you can out there. Still seems a bit excessive to me though.

Still, good response. I guess if I could purchase a book and transport it to a location and the end result is langar and seva... seems like a pretty sweet deal. Very important to show respect to Sri Granth... I guess to what level is considered excessive is up to the individual community who is paying for them.

Just noticed, did my post get deleted? Why?

Thanks for your post phenji.

I have always found interesting the aspect of Gursikhi where Gurbani has changed the karam of a person. There are various accounts from many Gursikhs & if they were to post their personal experiences here I feel that would be an interesting point.

Thank you.

I love reading those accounts also. As for me personally sharing something, I wouldn't know what to share. For me every little thing is a gift of god and everyday he effects me. I just wouldn't know what to write and how to write it. Someday when I am better at writing I will share mine, until then if someone else posts some I would love to read theirs.

Thank You

    • 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!!
