@jkvlondon I wish you best of luck in the future and that you no longer face such an undeserving experience to life and that others including myself can take advantage of the faith bestowed to us by Gurbani.

Coming back to the OP's question. It seems like this isn't the place or time to be asking such questions @mahandulai

However to offer some form of hope, the answer is simple. Just like the weather, truth changes, history is retold and with it so do the principles and understanding of humanistic knowledge to be able to behave beyond our animalistic nature. Who's to say that in another thousand years there won't be a more relevant Granth for us to aspire to but for now our eternal Guru has given us a ray of hope, especially during a time where there was nothing but darkness.

truth is atal - that is what makes it the truth/reality/forever  else it would be jhoot/ perishable  please do not frame gurbani in the second category

@jkvlondon

Perhaps you have misunderstood my reference to what I'm regarding as truth as to me when referring to truth in Gurbani, it's not just about something as simple as "what goes up, must come down" so sayeth the Guru and it won't change. To elaborate, concepts such as duty, truthful living, virtues and acceptance to me are all part of the truth that I'm farming framing Gurbani in and what I'm regarding as "truth".

Guru Nanak Dev jee challenged those of his time and presented his truth. However there were plenty of other pre-existing granths but at no point did he or is successors name them as "jhoot/perishable".

Do you not think that in a thousand years time we may know something we don't currently know ? If Guru Nanak Dev jee was to come again (hypothetically) would he challenge the society and its issues with what he challenged the brahmins with in the 1500s? Would he still be talking about the narrative of Ram and Ravan?

" please do not frame gurbani in the second category " Please don't bring your emotion in to this as this is supposed to a forum of discussion and I assure you that I do not have any ill intentions towards Gurbani. Everyone holds the right to think for themselves. There's no perfect answer, it's a discussion for us to take something away and not always as black and white as it may seem.

not everyone has the time.

but you do..dont you?

the amount of time you spend on here asking question after question after question after question after question could be easily be spent researching just one of them and finding the answer that satisfies your mind and stops the curiosity/wondering..

you seem to expect everyone you ask here to know all the answers..but theyre still all learning too and one of the ways they do that is through independent research - do you consider yourself a special case that youre above this and expect the right answer instantly? thats not how life works bro..make the effort and youll get your rewards..simple as that.

then let it be known, that the answers are still being learnt,

instead of having 50 year olds namely @jkvlondon, from saying she knows everything.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
