So here's the thing:

A fella named Jagsaw (first person uneducated premier league footballer speak) started a thread here about how the Nirvair Khalsa Jatha were accumulating vast personal wealth in the name of Sikhi. After that thread started here NKJ, who were at the time on a worldwide tour in Canada, started to change their 'religious' sermons to justify their riches. We were on page 3 thread of the thread here when a source tells me they started the new theme in Edmonton, Alberta. By the time they came back to England the theme was in full swing. Their first program was in Southampton. They said "you can't help poor people unless you have accumulated money.....to be in a position of helping the poor you have to first have money to give to the poor.....,..we're financially well off because we done lots of path and seva.............You too can be rich by doing path"

This, my friends, is the prosperity gospel.  Our parcharaks have reversed Bhai Lalo's and Malik Bhago's moral fable.  And gone rich in the process.

Well, they're not entirely wrong. To give, one must have. 

In terms of attachment, should we not accept that which Vaheguru blesses us with? Accept poverty or abundance equally as it is Vaheguru's kirpa or hukam?

Now that NKJ has wealth are they sharing it, or succumbing to lobh and moh and hoarding it?

"must" Gurjant ?   To give one MUST first have what ?   Compassion ?   Love ?  Humility ? or MONEY ?     It's  question of values and attachment.

No. Both poverty and extreme richness are man made things. Waheguru gave us, as men, the capabilities to achieve either equality or inequality. Man himself, not Waheguru, has created the inequality.

Good question.It needs to be asked more loudly.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
