I Havent Seen Mian Mir Ji! But I Have Seen Qadri Gulam Haider Ji!


Recommended Posts

For me, I've always considered saintliness to encompass more than the physical acting of adhering to a religious path and being firm in its tenets. In my opinion, it includes physical fitness, a restrained yet nourishing diet, a broad knowledge of many subjects not limited to religious do's and dont's, a basic yet incisive grasp on human psychology, etc. Anyone in the modern age who has aspirations of genuinely reaching out to people in order to positively affect others on a spiritual level needs to know their stuff. The days of ill-tempered babeh sitting on stages, admonishing the sangat and adding masaleh to their sakhiyan are long gone. People aren't as trusting or gullible as they use to be.

Truer words have rarely been spoken about these matters (and I'm not trying to 'jock-ride'!).

In many ways, being a religious figure in the truest sense of the word is incredibly difficult, more so in modern times. I can completely appreciate why Dasme Paatshah said it's not enough to know only about your own scriptures. Scoping out the opposition (as well as the non-theist aspect of modern belief systems) is vital.

Sikhs are meant to be all rounders

I don't know. The gullibility of a lot of apnay and apneean, be it towards some dubious 'Guru' that gets them sterilised; or following deras in general; or the way they blindly jump abroad without any skills and training, thinking they will make a fortune because some agent promised them so; and especially the way quite a few apneaan end up getting sexually used and abused or pimped out (both girls from India and those here in England) makes me think we have a lot of dumbos amongst us without even the most basic commonsense.

Oh, we're cynical and untrusting when it comes to matters of spirituality and faith, but issues of wealth, sex, and general Punjabi degeneracy, and they're all babes in the wood who are supposedly "tricked" into making mistakes.

I wouldn't even say that. Our lot routinely jump on bandwagons on matters of faith and spirituality too.

It's a complex issue that has a bit of everything from various categories depending on the type of person involved. My original argument was focused on the average Punjabi for whom Sikhi doesn't play a role in their life on any level. They are more than willing to criticise even decent religious figures, but are unable to recognise their own hypocrisy when it comes to other issues that may not be spiritual or religious, but involve some level of morality and ethics.

Well, how many of those that overtly and loudly demonstrate their faith in various ways, are really engaging in some sort of tribal allegiance thing, within the panth. Sure, someone may robotically follow rehat, and surround themselves with people of a similar mind, but when it comes to confronting the big bad world, they lose all their bollox and conveniently (not to mention cowardly) duck facing all the social issues in the panth on some pretext or another (usually with the 'they are Panjabi - not Sikh, so they don't matter' argument). All the grooming, rampant casteism, alcoholism, domestic violence, drug addiction and all that good stuff doesn't exist for them because they live in a bubble. But come any sort of even mild controversy over some historical text or making ineffectual protests, they are aggressively at the forefront like lions.

If this giddhurfied detachment from your own people is what constitutes religious/spiritual purity, I'd give it a miss.

Right! I got that off my chest. lol

In the first video titled "zafarnama", around 22mins, qadriji says something about sesame seeds, oil and an arm. I've heard my dad say this in the past. Not sure what qadri meant by "afwah". I assume hes saying its false.

Can someone please explain? Thank you

    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • 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.
