Recent debate a questionable one. . .


Recommended Posts

If you accept something the way it is then that means you AGREE with it. This is a very good topic. I'll use worldly examples. Watching someone burn and not trying to help..well that means you accept it. Watching someone lying on the side of the street who just got raped and not trying to help and walk by without hesitation...that means you accept it. A personal example would be me walking into my mama's house after taking Amrit and this just guy starts blurting out ohhh you're gonna cut your kes and my mama not telling him to stfu...well that means he agrees with it.

Doesn't mean he agrees with him. The mama might be scared to say "stfu" to the guy. So he remains quiet. Inside he might be thinking that what the guy is saying to you isreally wrong but he doesn't want to speak up.

Agreed. my scenarios don't fit into this discussion. As well as looking at the discussion from a different point of view which involves Sikhi. But I didn't understand ..."Now if you add some unjustness and harm to the scenario.......Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji didnt agree with what the Muslims were doing against the Hindus but thats not because they agreed with the Hindu faith.......you can see where im going with this." I missed you on this Khalsa Ji. Can you explain please?

Yes but Guru Ji is trying to show people have a right to believe in whatever they want. No one can use force to persuade another. Guru Ji did not have agreed with the faith but he also didn't agree with the mughals forceful conversions. Guru Sahib protected the people of India and the human right to believe in whatever religion you want to. By doing this he was actually carrying out Sikh teachings, of protecting the weak from oppressors and upholding justice.

Veer Ji you said "If you accept something the way it is then that means you AGREE with it"

And im saying if you accept something the way it is, it doesnt have to mean you agree with it.

So at the time of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji there people of different religions around and Guru Sahib didnt agree with what they believed but still accepted them as they were, they were free to believe what they wished.

When the Kashmiri Pandits were being persecuted by the Muslims Guru Sahib didnt agree with what was happening to the Pandits but at the same they didnt agree with what the Pandits believed either. Nonetheless Guru Sahib still helped them.

My point was Guru Sahib helped them because the situation was unjust (like your examples). Whenever theres a unjust situation you're gonna help or well you should help even if you dont agree with that person on a personal level.

The OP asked "If you accept the way something is, it doesn't necessarily mean you agree with it or does it?"

She was talking about homosexuals. So lets say for example you dont agree with the homosexual way of life but you've still accepted them as a person.

Now lets say that homosexual is getting beaten up. You dont agree with the homosexual way of life but you'd still help them.....because the situation is unjust, theres no time for whether you agree or not.

Thank you!

    • 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.
