Stop giving stupid reasons on Why we don't cut Hair.

[kidsama]

When someone asks why Sikhs don't cut their hair, most people on the internet and in real life try to be oversmart and end up giving stupid reasons.

Like "hair is a gift from god and we honor that" or "it makes us stand out"  or "we maintain the form that god gave us" . Even if these answers are partially true, these are not the reason we keep our hair. So why do we keep our hair? Because the Guru said so. Simple as that. [ Sikh - student (of the Guru) ]

So when someone asks you, Why do you not cut your hair? Answer, because My Guru said so.

And if we cut our hair are we no longer Sikh? Are people with Kesh and dhari better then someone like a buddist monk who shaves his head? Or anyone that shaves his head for that matter. 

Also reminds of of this annoying kid. Who wore a parka. He used to go around saying to people. 'Are you a true Sikh'?

When he himself engaged in all kinds of bad behaviours but thought he was saint because he wore the turban.

according to Guru ji yes we become patit i.e. non-sikh

listening to , then living in Guru's hukham is the first message of Japji Sahib after Mool Mantar.

the Patka is not a dastar it is just one step from rumal on jooda as it has no lads no sikh wore patkey before the eighties, and no rumal before the seventies. It is pure backsliding of parents

From tankhanama bhai nand lal ji

ਬਚਨ ਹੈ ਸ੍ਰ੍ਰ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਕਿ ਜੋ ਕੋਈ ਸਿਖ ਦਾ ਬੇਟਾ ਹੋਏੇ ਔੌਰ ਮੋਨਾ ਹੋਇ ਜਾਵੈ

Bachan hai srrrī gurū jī kā ki jō kōī sikh dā bēṭā hōē aaur mōnā hōi jāvai

This is the directive of Guru, that if the son of a Sikh shaves the head,

ਭਾਈ ਨੰਦ ਲਾਲ ਜੀ : ਤਨਖ਼ਾਹ ਨਾਮਾ ਪੰ. ੧੪੮

ਤਸਿ ਕੀ ਜੜ੍ਹ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਸ ਕੀ, ਔੌਰ ਜੋ ਮੋਨਾ ਸਿਖ ਹੋਇ ਜਾਵੈ ਤਸਿ ਕੀ ਜੜ੍ਹ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਹਰੀ ॥

Tasi kī jaṛhhh sa kī, aaur jō mōnā sikh hōi jāvai tasi kī jaṛhhh harī ॥

His posterity will be ruined, and if a shaven one becomes Sikh, his descendants will flourish.

ਭਾਈ ਨੰਦ ਲਾਲ ਜੀ : ਤਨਖ਼ਾਹ ਨਾਮਾ ਪੰ. ੧੪੯

ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰ੍ਰ੍ਰੀ ਤਨਖ਼ਾਹ ਨਾਮਾ ਸੰਪੂਰਨੰ ॥

Iti srī tankhaāh nāmā sampūrnan ॥

This concludes the Code of punishment

ਭਾਈ ਨੰਦ ਲਾਲ ਜੀ : ਤਨਖ਼ਾਹ ਨਾਮਾ ਪੰ. ੧੫੦

I agree    some sikhs also try to find scientific justifications   which I find really silly          

Keeping hair and dhari is a hukham   simple as

well said, it's a hukam simple as. 

But to be fair, there are probably spiritual reasons for letting hair grow to it's full length, even probably physical benefits.. but as sikhs we should just follow Guru's Hukam.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਰੋਮਿ ਰੋਮਿ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥

The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord with every hair of his body.

devte and rishis etc grew their hair out. The vedas were written by the rishis who received them through meditation. 

Buddhists shave it because for them it represents  attachment to the world. 

In some indian religions hair is associated with beauty and attachment so they shave them off    which symbolizes them leaving the materialistic world behind.  It's the reason why north indian women traditionally cover their heads when doing pooja or going mandir  because for them hair represents beauty (ego)  so they cover it.

Different schools of thought in india have had various beliefs when it comes to hair.

In judaism Samsons mother was told not to ever cut his hair. 

We have been given the hukham to keep it.
