This is story from the time of Guru Hargobind Ji. One Sikh had saved up some honey which he wanted Guru Ji to taste first. So he decides to go to Guru Ji and takes honey with him. On his way, he meets this one person who is very poor. Clothes all ripped looks like a mess. He asks, “where are you going?” Sikh says, “I am going to Guru Hargobind Ji.” “And what do you have in that bowl?” asks the man. “Some honey” replies Sikh.

The poor man was very hungry and asks the Sikh to give him some but Sikh refuses and says “I want Guru Ji to eat it first. No one touches it before Guru Ji” and walks on. He reaches Guru Darbar and offers his honey. When he opens the bowl, it is full of germs and it is very smelly. Guru Ji says “You brought that smelly, filthy honey for us?” Sikh says, “No, Maharaaj Ji, it was not filthy when I left my house.” Guru Ji says, “I don’t want it now. When I asked for it you refused to give it to me.”

Sikh is just astonished by hearing this. He says, “Guru Ji you never asked me for it. I would’ve remembered.” Guru Ji says, “Yes I did. That poor man is Guru Da Sikh. He was hungry and you refused to feed him. I live in my Gursikhs. If you want to please me then please my Gursikhs. Offer them food and it will get to me. Go give him the honey.”

Sikh goes back to the poor man and opens his bowl and honey is all fresh. No germs and no smell. He eats the honey and thanks Guru Ji. So better to feed the poor than donating money to Guru ghar because “Gareeb Da Mooh, Guru Ki Golak”.

“Har Harjan Doyee Aek Hain, Bib Bichaar Kish Nahain”

Sat Sri Akal:

Gurbani's view on Sikh and Guru:

gurasikhaa a(n)dhar sathigur varathai chun kadtae ladhhovaarae ||

The True Guru prevails among His GurSikhs; they pick out and expel the wanderers.

(Guru Raam Daas Ji, Raag Gauree, 312).

gurasikhaa(n) a(n)dhar sathiguroo varathai jo sikhaa(n) no lochai so gur khusee aavai ||

Deep within the hearts of His GurSikhs, the True Guru is pervading. The Guru is pleased with those who long for His Sikhs.

(Guru Raam Daas Ji, Raag Gauree, 317).

guroo sikh sikh guroo hai eaeko gur oupadhaes chalaaeae ||

The Guru's Sikh, and the Sikh's Guru, are one and the same; both spread the Guru's Teachings.

(Guru Raam Daas Ji, Raag Aasaa, 444).

so guroo so sikh hai bhaaee jis jothee joth milaae ||1||

He alone is the Guru, and he alone is a Sikh, O Siblings of Destiny, whose light merges in the Light. ||1||

(Guru Amar Daas Ji, Raag Sorath, 602).

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
