Value Of A Siropa

[Wicked Warrior]

Happened to attend a boy's 16th birthday paath at a Gurdwara. After the ardaas and hukamnama, I expected the teen to be given a siropa. He was sitting next to me so I said to him to get ready to go up and matha tek. He had no idea about what was going to happen.

Duly, he was called to the front, matta tuk and was given a siropa. He sat down and put it on the floor. I told him to not do so and to place it on his lap or even hold it. After a few seconds, he put it back on the floor. Why? Because his dad told him to do so.

I can understand the boy not knowing what a siropa is. I know I struggled to understand such concepts at his age, though I'd learnt 80% of my Sikhi knowledge by that point.

What I can't understand is when the parents don't know what it means.

Why do you even get given a siropa on your birthday? Like shaaabash puttar you made it to 16?

You can even buy them now. Darbar sahib, PB, mathatekh with 500R and you get given one with a huge pathasa in it.

Modi cameron politicians etc get one. The badals get one on every visit.

Can someone please remind me what the value of a siropa actually is?

If the kid deserved the siropa, maybe he'd respect it because he'd earned it...?

Laughed, so true though. They literally hand them out to every next person lol.

Yes. Basically you're entitled to a siropa if you somehow succeed in maintaining a body temperature of roughly 36°C.

I've also heard it said that very very rarely, they actually give someone a siropa for performing seva for the panth - seva such as kirtan, katha, parchaar, or not being hit by a van for 16 years like the boy in the story. However, I cannot be sure that this isn't in fact a myth. You should see a folklorist.

Just like everything in life Nothing has any meaning you give it meaning. And ones experiences follows its given meaning.

In a nutshell you are the creator of your experience via free will and quantum physics.
