first make a list of all the problems u see in the world, think about the root reason why these problems occur

then make a list of the main scriptures in the world and list how they address various problems, do these scriptures provide a cure for the root reason? if not then the answer to ur question is no

if yes, then list why and how each teachin can be used

ok, Das will put in front of the sangat an example of how SGGS has helped people in the 20TH CENTURY. perhaps you know this story.

there were a few hindus, who decided to embrace sikhi, and do sewa at sri darbar sahib (karah prasad di sewa). there was a problem with this, it was brahmins who controlled the gurdwaras and these hindus were chamar (untouchables), therefore, shouldnt and couldnt and even wouldnt be allowed to do sewa.

chalo, that happened.

so the gyanis of darbar sahib decided to take a hukamnama, hopefully and surly this would solve the question. as a result, guru amar das ji da hukam was read out aloud. i cant remember exactly how this vak went, but it said, ones main objective on this earth is to do sewa, then they will be sadha mukat. with this vak, the brahmins allowed the newly embraced to do sewa.

ok, so teachers are saying the aaj kaal di granths are useless, well they imply it with such questions.

but answer me this.

doesnt each granth say the same thing in how bad the world has become? and how to overcome it?

as for people saying why some granths such as the bible, koran dont comment on certain areas. well you tell me, do they not say stay away from things that take you away from god, just like the guru granth sahib? do they not talk about their vices? and seeing going into prostitution is kaami, the bible slams kaami people.

as for drugs, maya is around us, its everything around us that have nothing to do with god. everything around us has a possible effect in getting to become a knower of god. therfore, that answers your question on how granths can help us in the 21st century regarding the problems the yout

h face, such as drugs etc.

Sat Sri Akal:

"Books written down hundreds of years ago cannot possibly help us solve the problems we face in the 21st century."

Technology changed, dress changed, life changed, but humanity has the same turmoil inside. When was lust, anger, greed, worldly relations, and pride not a trap of humanity? Since when have humans been pointing to something beyond their limited lifespan and looking for something beyond the finite?

It has been religion, taught through the various sacred texts that have sought to answer these questions that are as intrinsic to humanity now as when they just began to peer at the world. The human is the same, the essence is the same, the problems are the same and only the sacred texts have tackeled the issue to some satisfaction. Only the sacred books have provided humanity with a guiding light to become beyond their physical cage and explore their true potential.

The question becomes therefore "Have all the advancements made by humans over the hundreds of years done anything to resolve humanity's inner conflict?"

Alright, I am done being a hippy...

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
