Basic Fact Of Sikhee


Recommended Posts

So much you talk, just tell me, when one dies, are the 5 Ks going with you, or any other material things? So then when one´s soul goes there, how do they know that this a sikh or a hindu or christian? Do you think, your soul is going to wear the physicall 5Ks and go there, after death? Only one´s karmas and bhakti (Naam Simran) goes.... that is why it is said as you sow so shall you reap? Changeea Buraeea vaache Dharam hadoor (Dharam Rai watches your good or bad karmas, when you die and go before him), and Wahiguru sees if you have done His Naam Simran, he is not bothered how you dress, eat or whether you are rich, black or white or even if you are illeterate, or the language you speak, nothing of that sort, only if you have done Nam Simran, that is why it is said, Jis vakhar lain toon aaya, Ram Nam, Santan ghar paaya. The real wealth for which you have come to gather in this world is Ram Naam and that is to be found in the refuge of the saints, nothing more nothing less. Not the outer things which shall be burnt away. Here nobody preaches, yhat is your inferior and negative entity, your ego, which makes you behave so. Here, only we can share each other´s points.

We should know these facts:

Wahiguru is an spiritul being, to reach Him , only Nam Simran should be done because that only, transports our soul same in essence like Him, to His court. This is all about, all else is material and perishable, without any spiritual gain from it, as it has no chetanta in it, You can not learn from a stone(inert, lifeless), you need a conscious( livefull) teacher, with knowledge to learn and become mature, because only conscious entities can transfer consciousness.

You do what you like, for me my Wahiguru is with me, and it is Him I only need. You are a stubborn person, you are much steeped in the outer things, that is why you are not mature in the Bani, and so you are insecure to talk and read about it than the Bani itself, on the other side you are strong on the material, but remember the material shall be left here, only your soul and your karmas or love for Him shall go with you, I could laugh at you for your this behaviour, but I have pity on you, may Wahiguru bless you with real wisdom

Harsharan ji your posts show egotism only. People like you say amrit and kakkars are not important because they dont suit your lifestyle. So you try to convince others to justify your weakness. If amrit and rehat was not important why did Guru gobind singh ji introduce it and take it himself? No one says naam and bani is not important it is. You sound like those dera cult babas desperate for followers of your version, who want to twist bani to suit there lifestyles rather then change themselves. I am not amritdhari myself but even I can see what you are trying to do. May mahraaj bless you.

Kaam is one of the 5 deadliest enemies ( the others are: krodh, lobh, moh, ahankar ..... ninda, jalan, chuglee, jhoot, lalach, laziness...etc) that attack the soul without mercy. The mind uses them as tools to keep the soul imprisoned, apart from many other ways, along with Maya. The soul is being harrased, since it left it`s Father`s (Satnam ) house (Sach Khand ). It´s condition is very dreadfull, without any shore or anchor to lean on, there is no thaao. Constantly roaming in the wheel of Chaurasee Ka Chakar. And for that, we alone are to be blamed, we do not listen nor pay attention to the real teachings of our Gurus`.

When our first Guru came on earth; orthodox practices were common in those days, would be better said, even before.....up to nowdays.

While they are, they remove our agyanta, our prejudices, our manmukhta, our outer or external practices, which are futile in results, and are just like smoke, no reality in it, they ( our Gurus) show us the realty, by attaching us to their Nij Roop, Nam or Shabad.

Since they left us, we have been manipulated, our reasoning power has been extirpated, by the so board members, the Truth they made us know, has been darkened with their poisnous behaviour, they have spread poison everywhere and in almost all.

These members have politizied the real sikhee, but we understanding the teachings of the Gurus`, it seems that, all is the fantasy of these leaders, I personally do not believe what they say, that our Patshah Guru Gobind Singh said.

We can see it by ourselves, reading and understanding the Bani of the previous Gurus`, is simialr, there are no such external practices, politics, rules, regulations, they taught that Nam and Shabd is everything. Nobody can take the place of a real Satguru. After all, these leaders, at most what can they offer is only what thay have, and they may have everything, but not the love and essence of Nam, and this void has to be filled with something, so they fill it with symbols, and external practices.

It is a pity, that Sikhee is such a noble, and a beautiful summary of some of Wahiguru`s virtues, grace, daya, meher, inmensity, truth, bakshish.... and that all this, has been reduced and polluted, between the four walls of rules and regulations, then zaat, paat, land, rituals, rites, dogmas...etc.

This is the pitiful and hopeless situation of mankind in general, but here we refer to our sikh brothers and sisters, with whom we are concerned. There is nothing wrong in following the customs and traditions in the dharam whre one is born, but we should be not so blinded with them, that we loose the truth out of our sight. I know, many will be hating me, when reading this, but my love for Wahiguru, and for the truth, and then for all the mankind, which has the ray of divinity in each individual, has propelled me in writing this, all the four corners of the existence has the right in knowing the realty of Wahiguru Akal Purukh in the real measure.

And all this, what has been said, is based just from the bani, for that purpose some lines are been given as proofs, of that truth, which our Gurus showered on the mankind equally on everybody without any distinctions:

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਨਾਉ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਕਿਆ ਸੁਆਉ ॥ bin sathigur naao n paaeeai bin naavai kiaa suaao || Without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained. Without the Name, what is the use of it all?

ਮਨ ਰੇ ਰਾਮ ਜਪਹੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ man rae raam japahu sukh hoe || O mind, meditate on the Lord, and find peace.

ਸਬਦੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਰਵਿ ਰਹੈ ਨਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਕਾਲੁ ਸੰਤਾਇ ॥ sabadh pashhaanai rav rehai naa this kaal santhaae || One who recognizes the Shabad merges into it, and is not afflicted by death.

aapay nirmal pooj karaa-ay gur sabdee thaa-ay paa-ee. ||9||

The Immaculate Lord Himself inspires worship of Him; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is accepted and approved. ||9||

poojaa karahi par biDh nahee jaaneh doojai bhaa-ay mal laa-ee. ||10||

Those who worship Him, but do not know the Way, are polluted with the love of duality. ||10||

Those who have the Shabad deep within, understand themselves; they find the way of salvation. ||15||

ayhu manoo-aa sunn samaaDh lagaavai jotee jot milaa-ee. ||16||

Their minds enter into the deepest state of Samaadhi, and their light is absorbed into the Light. ||16||

sun sun gurmukh naam vakaaneh satsangat maylaa-ee. ||17||

The Gurmukhs listen constantly to the Naam, and chant it in the True Congregation. ||17||

saachee banee sach vakhaanai sach naam liv laa-ee. ||19||

True are their words; they speak only the Truth; they lovingly focus on the True Name. ||19||

bin sathigur naao n paaeeai bin naavai kiaa suaao ||

Without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained. Without the Name, what is the use of it all?

These are just few sample lines from the bani, as we can see only importance of WAHIGURU as objective, through Nam and Shabad are written on each parragraph, on each page, and then too we are so manmukhs that we fail to see the truth in them.

Mind is always fond of sensual pleasures, so unless we give it the taste, of something superior and everlasting taste, like Nam....it will never give up it`s bad habits. So Nam is the truth which our Gurus taught as remedy for fighting the mind and these vices, and also Nam is the only vehicle for returning our true real Home Sach Khand, anything apart from this is wasting our precious time.

Benti: you don't use the term "pages". Guru Sahib is NOT a book so the correct term would be Ang (limbs).

Thanks.

bin sathigur naao n paaeeai bin naavai kiaa suaao ||

Without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained. Without the Name, what is the use of it all?

These are just few sample lines from the bani, as we can see only importance of WAHIGURU as objective, through Nam and Shabad are written on each parragraph, on each page, and then too we are so manmukhs that we fail to see the truth in them.

Mind is always fond of sensual pleasures, so unless we give it the taste, of something superior and everlasting taste, like Nam....it will never give up it`s bad habits. So Nam is the truth which our Gurus taught as remedy for fighting the mind and these vices, and also Nam is the only vehicle for returning our true real Home Sach Khand, anything apart from this is wasting our precious time.

Benti: you don't use the term "pages". Guru Sahib is NOT a book so the correct term would be Ang (limbs).

Thanks.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
