Why Are Spiritual Sikhs Not Willing To Become Leaders And Politicians?

I have been reading this interesting topic with great interest. While, everyone have great ideas of social/political activism and piri concept, the fact of the matter we forgot to mention is vahiguroo's hakum to his lella- including chardi-kalah of khalsa panth in all of this discussion. I think we can all agree- sant jarnail singh ji bhindranwale was greatest saint-soldier of 21st century..While loads of sikhs look up to him and have his pictures in their houses, hardly anyone know his life prior declaring dharam yudh against oppressors. He did seva of vadaie mahapursh- sant gurbachan singh ji bhindranwale for years, there was something poius about him...loads of senior mahapursh prophecised his future that he is the chosen one- saint/soldier that will stand up against injustice and succeed. Finally, It was divine deliverance at hazoor sahib from sri guru gobind singh ji himself to sant jarnail singh bhindranwale that gave him go ahead to start dharam yudh morcha against oppressors then only not before, but then only he declared war(took drastic steps) against injustice....now everyone should ask themselves, they were loads of bhramgyani spiritual sikh during sant jarnail singh bhindranwale time, how come they didn't that divine deliverance but sant ji did...it's naive to think he was the only saint around that time..The truth is it was hukum of vahiguroo..it was pre-ordained.

Now since everything is part of hakum, does that mean? we shouldn't do anything?. No. We should keep continue improve our spiritual jeevan first, continue to be social activist within our domain/reach as in activism in our community, country we live in with full respect to law of country we live in...rest will follow itself.

Starting an revolution/activism of same calibre as sant jarnail singh bhindranwale or taking drastic steps to quickly fixing major issues in the panth will only come with maharaj hakum....unless you are given divine deliverance from vahiguroo himself...in that case you are chosen one...until then we just have to do our part within our domain and reach.

You are forgetting something here brother. Desire to do something and then putting effort to achieve yours goals are also very important. Sikhism is all about ACTION, ACTION, ACTION. Are the spiritual Sikhs putting any efforts to become leaders of the Panth?

May be they are working towards becoming saints first then leaders if needed be...last time i checked it's saint and then soldier..NOT other way around...becoming saint itself requires lot of action, action and action (bairaag and tyaag). Following foot steps of sant jarnail singh ji bhindranwale is good inspirational tool and its one thing but imitating him from top to bottom is another..as i stated earlier, every spiritual sikh should do his/her duty of social activism by providing ideas and try to be social activist within his/her domain and reach..rest leave it up to vahiguroo..!!....

Any joe blow these days can have SGPC membership, and by using corporate politics make their way up to jathedar leadership you are talking about....but what would you rather see??-

- Person with great ideas becoming leaders of the panth going astray in middle after having force of power and authority?

- Saint with bairaag and tyaag becoming leader of the panth i.e- sardar kapur singh ji / sant jarnail singh bhindranwale?

If you want to see band aid fixs, sure go for the first one, but if you see things happening with hakum and sehaj..i suggest go with latter.

I personally by maharaj kirpa have loads of great ideas for benefit of the panth which i share from time to time, i also do have great potential to change things around for the panth..but i still refuse to engage in sikh world outside cyber world because I must work towards my own spiritual life as gurbani states - Human life is only life to meet Vahiguroo..and unless off course i get some of divine deliverance or current saints recommendations.

The other issue is that most spiritual people are aware of the mistrust that many members of the public have of religious people getting into politics. If a parcharik enters politics, their reputation will become immediately tarnished by that. For example, when the likes of Dhumma contested the SGPC election, Ranjjit Singh Dhadrianwale wisely stepped out and didnt allow himself or his reputation be soiled by getting involved.

Did Sant Jarnail Singhs reputation or the rep of the AISSF get tarnished when they contested the SGPC elections in 1982?

Maybe Sant Ranjit Singhs move tells you more about him? or should do?

We need to recognise who the spiritual sikhs actually are and not slander them so they actually have the backing to gain political power. At the moment there is a certian group which runs things of whom many of you are aware of. They've spread their power into the highest seats of every nation in the world- they would need to be toppled or severely damaged for our leader to be exalted into a high seat of political power or another 1984 would surely occur- Gandhi was their puppet.

    • 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.

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?
