Would you call that 'greedy'? I'd say that's being ambitious even ruthlessly ambitious to push yourself as far as you can to succeed, but as long as that ruthlessness doesn't negatively affect anybody else.

Kaljug say it doesn't effect others but corrupts your consciousness is that greediness still excepteble, as for the _Anon_ thats a contradiction to your original answer because of the Gurbani I linked and also 2. short sighted as associating with the Punj Choor guarantees pain and bad things in your life.

All Gurbani wants from you is to win vs the Punj choor (Kaam, Kroad, Loub, Mou, Hankar) As only this person can go back to his true home and emancipate himself from life and death

That's true but that's also why I said it shouldn't be treated as greed. Being ambitious is surely not the same as being greedy? Is It? Ambition to accumulate wealth IS greedy but ambition to be the best (in whatever you choose to excel at) surely cannot be a negative.

Theres delicate devide, first is that ambition for things which dont go with you is fruitless one

Deluded by Maya, the mortal is led into sin and corruption.

But to say that not having drive to achieve is wrong, your goals should be in line with Daram.

Yes, very good point. I suppose ambition to wake up at Amritvela and recite Gurbani for the rest of one's life until death is permissable OR an ambition to serve the Panth, etc., is also acceptable in the context of this particular discussion.

Harbouring an ambition to go out with every attractive girl living on one's street is the wrong kind of ambition. :blush2:

it is harder for some people to get away form destiny than others. through karam, it is harder for some people to increase than others. some only fine this at the start.. so basically, its hard to get started.. others, it carries on when they find a way to get started...

these things are har to get away from. and the only way is to go to charan. either, of sant, or sangat. i.e. jore di seva. doing bani is good and does halp. but jore di seva, is what u need to do. its ur choice, im not teling u to do it.

it can mean that you are destined to be able to handle alot more than normal people so this is why things happen in more of a way to you.

giving up makes u stat where u are. meaning, u dont increase how u are destined to increase.

karam plays a lota part in it.

It seva of shoes. You put them in a line (organize them), wipe shoes off with a cloth or tissue paper. and/or polish the shoes. Usually done at the gurudwara.

Then later you are supposed to wipe your forehead with the cloth or tissue paper(could be from regular paper roll) to get the dust of the sangat's feet.

^bump. yea, its seva of shoes. each shoe in the gurdwara, you put that on you forhead. with your hands, or cloth, or whatever. hands is best. some people also wash their hands in a bata and drink that as amrit.. (charan saadh ke dhoe dhoe P O )

this is true amrit. each shoe that u take, should be taken as your gurus jore. so u get a shoe, and think, this is the jore (the shoes) of my guru. :) this is a very very powerfull thing. so simple, yet u can change ur entire life with this! try doing it for 40 days (continous or not) then u will see an amazing difference. forget everything. just look at the shoes. do ur naam simran, and do that seva. yes, u can put it in a line etc.. even u can also bring sum shoe shiner!!! : D then the person comes back and finds their shoes like brand new!!!! :glomp:

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
