Which Is A Better Job For A Spiritual Lifestyle?

[Barfi n Mithai]

Akalifauj are you from India or did someone from India say 24hours naam abhiyaas to you? The only time I have heard people refer to things as 24hrs is when they say 'chaubi genteh' e.g. 'He works chaubi genteh i.e. 24hrs - What they actually mean to say is that all he does is work. The person in reality does not work 24 hours. Instead 24 hours means something close to 12 hours as the person sleeps, eats, toilets, washes etc. Looking back on your comments I think people from India use this as an expression rather than actually meaning 24 hours.

A true Sikh doesn't need to speak waheguru 24/7. It's like every part of his very being is saying waheguru 24/7 without words, the entire universe itself is already praising waheguru. They may live in the realm of humans but their minds and souls are at the feet of Waheguru

This is a open question to all. What profession did Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji have and how successful was he in this profession.

Guru Sahib was the King of Kings who cannot be compared to any human. So think before you write or it is too big a thing to expect from you?

He should read Batchar Natak (hope I spelled that right). Guru Gobind Singh Ji's entire History is unique and one off. There's never been a man born like him or could be like him.

To find out Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji profession and how successful he was in the profession.

Dashmesh Pita was a polymath if ever there was one. A master swordsman, horseman, archer, poet, general and politician. Although none of these can be rightly said to be his 'profession', as he was hardly in receipt of a salary.

As for the measure of his success, one need only consider that his Khalsa Panth has established itself across the entire earth.

What you have listed is skills and not a profession. I dont think you understood the question. A profession would be like a doctor or lawyer or engineer.

Yet you did list general and politician. These are professions. So answer the second part of the question. How successful was he at being a general and politician?

No Ji, I understood the question. A profession is an occupation for which one is paid. Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, in his capacity as a general and politician, did not receive payment, so neither of these can be considered his profession. I said as much in my earlier post.

Guru Sahib did a very respectable job in forging his political alliances, he succeeded in winning over Aurangzeb's successor Bahadur Shah and thereby ended the Mughal oppression of Sikhs, at least for a time (it would resume after his departure during Banda Singh Bahadur's ascendancy in the Punjab).

You know the military history of the Khalsa, I don't think I need to reiterate its impressive litany of victories (or its dignified losses at Anandpur Sahib and Chamkaur Sahib) against invariably greater odds. Guru Sahib presided over the victories at Bhangani, Nadaun and Muktsar. - http://www.info-sikh.com/PageLead10.html
