Nope I don't need to correct anything, Malwa and South of Sutlej is the same thing, nothing to correct here. 

No, there is something to correct. You wrote "much of Malwa" when you should have written "all of Malwa."

Writing "much of Malwa was not under Ranjit Singh's empire" implies that there was some part of Malwa that WAS part of Ranjit Singh's empire, which is not true.

What good does memorizing Dasam Bani do if you flagrantly break rehat all day every day?

Gurbani is useful if we act on it and ensure that it guides the way that we live our life.

Doesn't matter, you are in no position to question a persons Sikhi who was dedicated enough to learn entire Dasam Bani by heart despite being a illiterate, something which you yourself are very, very unlikely to achieve.

No, a few parts of Malwa were under Ranjit Singhs empire, like a few places in Ludhina. The places in Malwa which RanjIt Singh had conquered prior to the treaty he was allowed to keep. But these were only a few isolated spots.

I don't think being a king or queen in kalyug is an indication of prior Bhakti. In fact...one could say the opposite. 

bro I would imagine that the Kings and Queens must of done a lot of bhagti and positive stuff in their previous lives in order to be born as a King/Queen in their next life ?   If some one is really poor in this life then they must of done something bad in their previous life?

For me this is what makes sense, otherwise I don't understand why some people are born into extreme poverty/suffering and others born into billions ...

It would be interesting to know if any sant has done katha on this and explained it ...

I think there is a sakhi of a king from the time of Guru Nanak Dev ji who went for a walk in the forest and saw himself wearing rags and skinning dead animals. There is a community in India who skin dead animals for a living. This horrified the king and made him realise what he would be born as if he doesn't start doing naam and giving people justice. I can't remember the sakhi properly but it was something like that.

Queen Elizabeth must of done something in her previous life for her to be who she is in this life   lol

I dnno ...

Suffering is the medicine pleasure the disease. 

 

Also this place and time is inverted. And all worldly thrones subverted.

This came up in another topic too. But Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaja in Sri Dasam Granth Ji speaks about the quality of rulers in kalyug and it is not good. It's people abusing power, hoarding wealth, profitting from death and suffering, getting further deluded into a place worse than Khel from their excesses, their indulgences, their indifference. How can that result from Bhagti? Bhagti is a homeless man giving another homeless man half his food and a spare blanket. That's somebody who remembers Bhagti no matter what.

It makes sense that a lot of the rulers today are demonic, the Queen is head of the English Church yet there have been so many innocent children attacked by paedophile bishops in the church. Paedophile bishop Peter Ball was friends with Prince Charles.

Bani says suffering is a blessing as it makes you remember God. I can see that, but at the same time I can't.

I know bro. I'm nobody to understand the perfection of Akhal's story. Gurbani itself says nobody is fit to appreciate and understand it. 

I can't believe how this place has been and is. It's unspeakable.

yeah we see things which just don't make sense to us and then we end up trying to figure out why it happens only to end up more confused. Truth is we just can't see the bigger picture.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
