Why Sikhs get easily swayed?

[Guest Jacfsing2]

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! The purpose of this question is mostly to ask why so many of those who consider themselves Sikhs get easily swayed by various groups such as RSS, Pakhandi Baba organizations, Badal, Other faiths brainwashing, and so on? The reason I wanted to know is if there is some huge mental problem that our community isn't addressing that should be addressed that we get swayed this easily, or whether our loyalty as a whole to Guru Sahib, isn't really legit and mostly Sikhs viewing themselves as merely Sikhs for being born into a Sikh family. Adding on to that is why Sikhs are more interested in keeping our Pre-Sikh traditions over the time period when we have so much better stuff as Sikhs, (I don't know if they live in pre-1469 times or post-1469)? And finally why are Sikhs as a whole getting an inferiority complex, when Punjab before anyone came there was the best society in the world, (it would have been better as a theocracy, but it's still good enough), our people are starting to have Ghulami complex to Goras and others which I don't understand why? Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

But why do our people let themselves get brainwashed?

Because we don't teach our kids about Sikhi. We lack faith in our own religion. And since believe creates reality the result is in front of us ego filled <banned word filter activated> running the Sikhi in gurdwaras and politics.

Vahiguroo Jio,

Because our minds not strong to know they are creating havoc in our lives, my life, while we are barely surviving in jalanda jagat to peacefully walk the kanio tiki path jio_/\_

i think part of the reason is that our very practical religion has turned ritualistic. i see so many people talking about do this path this number of times and it will be beneficial. these practices lead to hollow beliefs. our 'PAATH' is guidelines to live and think. but if you don't know what the gurbani you're reading means then i don't understand how it could be beneficial. 

people seem to believe that if you do certain paaths that bad things won't happen to you. whereas bad things are the teachers you need to take your conciseness to the next step. sikhi teaches you to be mentally content in good and bad times. if you think nothing bad will happen because you do sukhmani sahib 5 times a day, then its all bad for you from the jump. 

for example (i know I'm about to get heat for this, o well): i still don't understand akhand paaths. people drinking hella strong cha and doing paath super fast and being up all night is not going to benefit anyone. but if we have sehaj paaths, and discussion of gurbani, now thats real saadh sangat. and doing the supreme beings 'sifat salah' in sadh sangat is what will lead to instilling pyaar of his naam in an individuals heart. and without that support you can't make it across "sansar samundar".

i feel like theses ritualistic practices can't build the strength necessary to stick to sikhi. all you need is someone to come along and promise "good luck" and "good fortune" or straight up buying an influential figure of the community out (RSS has become an expert in the buying out of our leaders lol). theres still a lot of true singhs and singhnis out here though.

just a thought...hope no one gets mad at me lol

i also think the explanation of keeping our hair told by the elders should run deeper than 'because we are told so' or because its tradition.

its being content with the hukam of nature (or waheguru), which in turn humbles the ego which you need to control to have dar, adab and pyaar of the supreme being anyways. it also controls your lust because you are not trying to look sexy every day to attract the opposite sex. and of course we all know the reason for identity, which makes us stand out therefore making us responsible for our actions.

for those who meditate, some cultures also believe that hair is your antenna to connecting to the universe. that is; if you believe in energy, vibrations and frequency that connects us all in this universe. for example native american used to be the best trackers but when they were took to vietnam, their hair was cut to maintain army regulations and they noted that they end up loosing their 'tracking abilities'. just an example. similarly 'rastafarians' also believe that their hair helps them connect to nature and universe, so they keep their locs. 

thinking out loud here?

It all boils down to choice. What do you choose Sikhi,Guru, Hair ... it's all one simple answer Choice your free will. Your will is Gods will. Since there is only One in multiple manifestations. No one will decide for you you have to. Gurus could get rid of all the misery disease from the world but he only cures the one who choose to go to him. Keep making choices and face consequences they are not punishments but a natural outcome of Choices. Just as in jail different prisoners release at different times we release from our illusions when we choose end Our drama king and queen lives. The Guru like the jail doctors comes heals goes and comes as he wishes for rest of us drama goes on.

Vahiguroo Jio, please watch video, has much insights to our rss dukh defense,  and Vahiguroo help me prove my maan suspecting rss also is who invoking wrath of isis, with their shiv jadoo, and on flipside, pretend to support fake muslims fools, as arminder of Punjab, helping Indira come back through Sonia, and Rajiv through son.

Sikhs thus,  thus have more need to strengthen our minds against more maya obstacles to kanio tiki bhagti towards Khalsa Raj_/\_

really sister...invoking ISIS with their shiv jadoo?

do you know who armed ISIS? are you familiar with the world banking cartel? (please look up rothschild). war is a money making machine. the elite who control the world need it to happen. and yes there is elite who control the world. they are the chosen few who own the media, the currency, the energy resources, and the defense contractors. i dont know if i should discuss these topics on a sikh website but please do your independent research on these topics.
