When a true Sikh connects with God any pain caused to his/her body is temporal meaningless their mind is care free they have given your life to the command of God, what has been destined and ordered for them they accept willingly and endure it in the knowledge they are going to a better place after this short life on this dunia is over.

This is how thousands of Sikhs were able to change from the mentality of sheep to lions, who went out actively seeking fights against their oppressors in order they could be sacrificed in the battlefield. This life is nothing without freedom to practise Sikhism in peace and non-harassment from temporal government or individuals.

In the famous speech made by Shaheed Bhai Jaswant Singh Kalra Ji, he said.. in the times of the Guru Sahibs, there would be some Sikhs (possible naive) who were keen to impress, thinking they may get "guru Gaddi" .. the ultimate status so to speak. Now that Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji Mahraaj has given the Guru Gaddi to Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Mahraaj, the eternal Guru.. what could be the ultimate achievement for a Sikh now? as you could never become Guru?

The ultimate prize is Shaheedi, and as Sikhs we are supposed to celebrate this, as difficult and heartbreaking as it is for mere moorakhs like me to understand.

Lakh wari Parnaam Shaheedan Nu.

The bit Highlighted in Bold is True.

But when we accept God's will, we do it without any expectation of return. A love- which is pure acceptance of Gods will unconditionally i.e acceptance of the Hot Plate of Matyrdom- is the gyan of God, i.e remaining pysychologically sound in every situation. It is is simply living in Truth, attuning yourself to His frequency- recognising God in everyone in every situation.

Who is the Hot plate? God.

Who is the torturer? God Himself.

Who is there to fear and whats there not to love when everyone and everything is Him?

It is a love beyond logic and our programmed maya knowledge, it cannot be explained, for his state cannot truly be described- to love and accept all as perfect (Nirvair) and to Fear nothing(Nirboa), knowing all is Him is the real love.

Because it cant be explained, we can only feel it- thats why reading gurbani is not enough, we must apply it.

Definately the enlightented Sikh recognises this and thus any pain or grief in his/her life they can over come without any sorrow because they know everything including pain is a gift. Gurbani says these are gifts from the lord, a Sikh must recognise this and accept them in order to understand escape this world forever (cycles of birth and death) and unite with the lord of all creation waheguru.

Wisdom from past experiences, knowledge of Gurbani, love and trust of Waheguru is the only way any of us are escaping from entering creation time after time maybe as lower beings or in human form again but harsher realities due to karma who knows.

Many people waste their time in useless pursuits when in this short and hard to get human life they should get these fundamental things sorted out first before other matters.

      Gurbani Santhiya

      By Dsinghd · Posted

      I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.

      Veer Manpreet Singh claims we shouldn't worship Guru Granth Sahib ji

      By BhForce · Posted

      Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?

      Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.

      Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.

      It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
