I heard a sakhi in katha once by bhai harrinder singh from uk. he said there was a sadhu that stayed near village and used to sit in chonkra all day. these two farmers who did a lot of work used to walk by and see him. they used to say look at that behla bandha he doesnt do anything all he does is sit down all day. how easy it is to do that. he cant do what we do and work all day because it requires too much effort.

one day they said this passing the sadhu. the sadhu then said to them yes i sit down all day. how many hours do you work.

they both said we work 14 hours a day.

sadhu: come here one day and sit with me for 2 and a half hours and I will pay you four times what you get in a day.

both where like chardi kala he is gona give us 4 times what we earn for sitting and doing nothing for 2 and a half hours. mauja.

so sadhu said come at 2am

so next day they got up at 2am. even that part they found difficult because they where lazy in sikhi. then they both went to sadhu and sat down. they all started simran together. 2 mins they where thinking this is gona b a breeze 2.5 hours of this. 5 mins later they startedfinding it hard to keep chonkra. slowly started moving little bit. shaking legs etc etc. then they where thinking how does he sit like this all day, i can't even concentrate or sit still, he can sit here all day. they realised it was hard. after 25 mins they did benti to sadhu and asked sadhu to go.

those who don't do simran or bhagti for 24 hours will not know how hard it is to be doing seva simran day in day out that niahng singhs do and will have the same view of the farmers that they are behle. 99% of sikhs don't do simran baani. sant baba nand singh jee said minimum on top of nitnem (5 baania btw) should do a month either of... 1. sehaj path 2. 250 jap ji sahibs 3. 150 sukhmani sahibs 4. 108 malaas of 108 mool mantar. this was his mimumum to do in order to gain maharaj happiness. and i think he would know.

question was about degh/sukha. not dissing any jathebandi. that is just disrespectful to any jathebandi.

That sakhi isn't really relevant to this topic. Sikhs don't do bhang to do naam simran and Sikhs live a Miri Piri lifestyle therefore are very much a part of the world (not separate).

An example of a Mahan Sikh who did hard work is Bhai Taru Singh - Bhai Sahib Ji was a farmer and obviously worked really hard.

We needn't look further than what Guru Sahib Ji has told us :

kbIr BWg mwCulI surw pwin jo jo pRwnI KWih ] kabeer bhaa(n)g maashhulee suraa paan jo jo praanee khaa(n)hi || Kabeer, those mortals who consume marijuana, fish and wine qIrQ brq nym kIey qy sBY rswqil jWih ]233] theerathh barath naem keeeae thae sabhai rasaathal jaa(n)hi ||233|| - no matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they will all go to hell. ||233||

sakhi wasn't, neither was nindiya of nihang singhs. without whome panth wouldn't have got past bandhai khalsa. so was just answering that. rememeber it was khalsa who stayed from 6 pathshah to 10 pathshah and was bhai binodh singh bhai kahn singh etc who put end to it with kushttee etc outside akaal takhat. all parts of panth should be respected becuase they all make up their own part of the world. makes the play more exciting.

ok to your baani

1. bhang isn't sukha degh. bhang has extra ingredients, such as tobacco. which is wrong. so is not marijuana as translation says.

2. also what you quoted isn't relevant. because kabir jee is talkin about those in some place (can't remember - if you listen to katha should ifn the place in there) that they where very rich and used to take pride in their fish and bhang which they had a lot of. if you don't believe me then kabir jee also says

jinaa khaadhhee choparree ghanae sehanigae dhukh ||28||

Those who eat buttered bread, will suffer in terrible pain. ||28||

No one is doing nindiya of Nihang Singhs and many Nihang Singhs don't take Bhang.

I didn't just "quote". Guru Sahib is always relevent and always true. Someone who consumes marijuana, even a little will suffer in hell in the current life (the state of mind you're in) and the next life due to actions in the current because of wasting life away in intoxication.

I don't understand by what you mean by:

1. bhang isn't sukha degh. bhang has extra ingredients, such as tobacco. which is wrong. so is not marijuana as translation says.

What do you mean bhang has extra ingredients, such as tobacco? Bhang is simply marijuana WHICH IS ALSO WRONG.

If you want something healthy make some shardai. I don't know the exact recipe but you need almonds, milk and sugar.

Using cannibis as a painkiller for medicinal purposes is a completely different thing though since you're not taking it with the wrong intentions.

Also, that Shabad is by Bhagat Fareed Ji

yeah my mistake, bhagat fareed jee.

Bhang is mixture. like sukha is mixture. but bhang different. tobacco - kurehit.

singher23 jee was just trying making same point as you with use of selected quotes.

anyway topic isn't teaching anything about sukha that i was looking for. still does not make sense that so many of most respected jatehdaars. baba prem singh, baba hari singh, baba trilok singh also from past many shaheed akaali phoola singh baba mitt singh etc etc.

    • 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?
