You have an account on SS you GOI Agent and yet you have no understanding of the basics.  You ask me to share the basics...this implies you dont even know the basics

Look how entitled these feminists are.  To even ask for clarification for their opinions is to be an agent of a government who committed a genocide against the Sikhs. ? the feminist are the new white supremacist...how dare you ask me to explain myself? ?  It is a violent crime  against me to ask for clarification.  @ADMIN @MOD you better step in here, how dare @BhForce ask for clarification.   @BhForce should be banned forever from this site.

You need to understand that life is a mixture of free will, Hukam and karma. Its akin to a river. Where you are placed into the river at birth is due to your past actions, by the Hukam you are chosen to take a certain path in life which by your own free will you can choose to recognize or not. That being said, free will does have a place in Sikhi, just not in the absolute sense. We are a mixture of our past acts and the Grace of God! I hope this helped.

Now present Gurbani that says free will exist.

There are examples in Gurbani stating that free will exists. There are also examples stating that free will doesn't exist. One only has to look for themselves. Choice is a very real option in life. I am choosing to reply to you out of my own volition. God isn't putting a gun to my head saying reply to akalifauj's post. All that has been written about pre-ordained destiny refers to the fact we have a choice in either following it or rejecting it. Hence why Guru Nanak refers to the many netherworlds and many heavenly realms, designed for varying levels of consciousness. One needn't take everything written in gurbani at face value. It takes a discerning mind to know what is true.

Are you kidding, bro?

You mentioned that Japji Sahib discusses free will extensively.

I just very politely asked you to post them so we can discuss them, because of course a lot of teekakars have differences of arths on various tuks.

It's amazing that you leapt asking for a tuk to calling me an agent of the GOI.

FYI, someone asked me for "the tuk" in another thread just yesterday. So I just posted it (even though I had posted it before in the same thread). I did not berate them for daring to ask for a tuk.

If everybody already knows everything, then we can just shut down this board, right?

And also no need for teekas, because everyone already knows everything.

Does Vaheguru know what choice you will be making?

Present Gurbani to support your free will understanding.

Personally think Vaheguru knows every single option available to you, then you choose an option,  which will then depending on your choice will add good/bad karma.

Therefore YOUR God is not all knowing because he doesn't know what option the individual will pick.  The one and only Vahegu knows everything.  So find a better argument.

So you do not believe in good and bad karma? So if i sat in bed all day like a lazy bum, that is all Veheguru? ( Kum karan vich daridar nahee karnaa — Work hard and don't be lazy.) if I rape/kill/rob its all Veheguru? It seems like you want to take the blame off the person and just put it all on Veheguru.

    • 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.
