Why Aren't All Sikhs Same?

When I say mind I mean a collection of thoughts and life experiences that they have gathered from birth. Each individual has different life experiences and different thoughts as they are brought up differently that causes them to form different principles from each other.

We accept they looked different because of their varied genetic make up but why can't we accept they had different thoughts, temperament and ethics? As well as differences there were also similarities.

Cause the gurus only had one same thinking.If you read Sri guru Granth sahib ji all the gurus are on the same wave length.For example people say that only guru gobind Singh ji wore kirpan but in reality it started from guru Nanak dev ji maharaj.

I respectfully disagree with you I would only believe they had the same thinking if they all looked alike.

Of course they did.

But they had the same SHABAD JYOT which was passed as per gurgaddi.

The VERY important part that you guys are forgetting is that they PROVED they were different bodies and different genetics !

What i mean is that it was the norm for any kind of gurgaddi to continue in the family lineage. This is because people used to say the same thing that we are saying above- that the bodies and gentics NEED to have been similar or same !!............WRONG. ..............They proved this by passing gurgaddi as per gurmat teachings and disciple and NOT by genetic/ family lineage.

So, what i'm saying is that Hsing68 ji is absolutely correct !

I'm sure their physical behaviors were different. They probably all had different dhal/sabji as favourites.... got out of different sides of the bed..........left/right handed maybe?....wrapped their turbans differently.....etc...etc.

BUT the WORD or shabad was the same in each.

'Shabad' means a lot more than just the written word. In fact, the 'WORD' means a lot more than letters spoken or written as we saw in another topic talking about similarities in the bible with references. But i won't go off topic with that now.

When God created the whole of creation, the SHABAD was present from then.

Who doesn't have the same shabad jyot? Everybody has it as without it we would not be.

I was referring to the Guru's bani specifically here.

I mentioned that the shabad was present in creation from the beginning and is still present everywhere and in everything.

In terms of the above and the Guru-Jyot, we have to equate that to the gurbani uttered from their mouths and written with their hands. This same SHABAD JYOT is present inour eternal Gur maneyo granth -Sri guru granth sahib ji.

.....I think you follow what i'm saying ?

I understand what you are saying but my interpretation of bani is not only limited to guru granth saheeb. Guru jyot is everywhere as it is equally in creation it is equally in guru granth saheeb. My understanding is shabad and guru jyot are the same. Thats what guru jee was bowing to in sidh gost when he was bowing down to the sadhus

Gurbani is what is given to us by Gurus.

Can you call anything outside this scope as gurbani ?

If so, then what exactly ?

What do you mean that shabad and guru jyot are the same ? What does 'Shabad' mean to you ??

Until these differences are not addressed, no understanding will be gained.

I agree with what you are saying your questions are good and I would address them but they require such a huge write up. If I write a few sentences explaining your questions then I don't think it would make any difference in understanding for both of us. When and if I get time I would love to explain myself further as each question in itself is a whole new topic.

    • 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.

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?
