Guru Gobind Singh understood that only certain types of people can become warriors, those who worked the soil and those who worked with their hands.

I understand what you're saying, but I disagree with it.

The old Indian concept was that of division among the 4 varans: Scholar/priest, warrior/administrator, businessman, and servant.

Guru Gobind Singh ji's concept was:
ਚਾਰ ਵਰਨ ਇੱਕ ਵਰਨ ਕਰਾਊਂ ... ਤਬਹੀ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਨਾਮ ਕਹਾਊਂ।
"I will make the 4 varanas one, only then will I be known as Gobind Singh."

What happens in a society without any level of cross-training is the "scholars" become totally detached from the realities and necessities of the society. Which is what happened in American society and is happening is Sikh society.

Also, if the warriors are only warriors and don't have any love of Gurbani then they will become violent animals.

Now, everybody doesn't need to be a full-on scholar, warrior, businessman, or servant. But everybody should have some level of familiarity with all of those. Now things are totally imbalanced.

Before anyone should be allowed to take Amrit, especially the men between the ages of 18-45, they should have to show that they have an interest in keeping fit

This is a good idea.

I was talking to some Ghanian business men and teachers a while ago, and they have a lot of migration to that place from black people from UK/US etc. and are welcomed to help develop the economy over there. 

The problem, and the difference, is that they have their own country. I realize that some things we still could do. But how much confidence could you have to invest in Punjab when you know the central govt could take it all away in a second with confiscation, nationalization, or a change in law or regulations? Even ones which aren't Punjab-specific, but still ruin the investment.

UK is facing bigger economic shock than 1973 oil crisis that could leave families £1,750 worse off as energy prices soar and ban on Russian imports is set to pile on more pressure

  • An economic shock worse than the 1973 oil crisis could hit Britain this summer as fuel prices march upwards
  • Rocketing inflation and rising oil prices could hit Britons in their pockets as food prices also rise fast
  • Tory MPs have warned over the Government's policy response to the crisis, amid fears inflation could hit 8

    • 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.
