Okay.. this is very hard for me to explain.. but i will try.. this is general topic to all members... Reading this topic Hair color etc.. made me to open this thread.

There are something that many ppls would like to do but they can't do it because they think that "It might not be allowed in sikhi." Now, your mind says it 100% fine to do and you don't feel uncomfortable doing it but than you hear from someone that it's not fine and its not okay to do it according to sikhe etc.. That peson is certainly in tough spot !

Now i would say.. these days lots of youths do stuff because they hear/read that its not okay in sikhi rather than their mind speaks for them. Following stuff but still deep in mind it clashes with your soul, do you think its worth it? I am talking about small issues not issues like "Meat/Hair etc.." Issues can be anything like Hair salon etc.... What i think is that if you are doing good in sikhi like really amritvela/non-nida person (really following sikhi), then DEFINATELY YOUR mind will say.."Hey this is not what we supposed to do" That's what i call is true person.

I know there's a point "Maan jeetay, jaag jeet" Conquer your mind, you will conquer the world, but still If we do stuff with soul then it's more raas, means you actually 100% agree in terms with your soul that this is wrong or right. But if you do something which your soul thinks.. ummm or uhhhh then i guess that means one is living in false/contradiction world of their own which i really hate..

just my views.. :umm:

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

That topic was started by me, and I didn't start the topic because I want to know if it's allowed or not in Sikhi to colour your hair.

I asked about the sangat's opinion.

Personally I follow Sikhi as much as I can, and I do also follow what I think is right.

Regarding hair salon I don't think there is anything wrong with a person in a salon to wash your hair, as long as you don't cut your hair. But that's my opinion, alot of people might disagree with me........

And yes I do agree with you, follow what YOU think is right and don't let other people's opinions take you away from Sikhi.

But sometimes it is hard to be alone on your journey towards Waheguru, that one needs advice from other people.

My views...

Bhul chuk maff karni!

i guess what you are trying to say is follow your souls advise instead of a crowd. if so, the i say that is an excellent advice.

I don't think he's trying to say follow your soul's advice. Doing amritvela/controlling your vikaars is following the command of Satguru and not the soul. The soul is misleading, it needs direction from a realized soul (satguru) and being in the company of an enlightened group of people (satsang).

I guess to sum of S1ngh's POV, if you know the basic principles of Sikhi, of controlling your mind, controlling the 5 vikaars, and instilling naam within you, then you wouldn't raise such questions like "Should you color your hair?" or "Should I goto a salon to get my hair washed?" (No offence to those who started the topics, just using as examples)

It also brings down the quality of the forum and no-one likes to answer stupid questions (sorry if I'm being harsh), if you have a basic understanding of the principles listed above you would deem it unnecessary to fall prey to your mind's thoughts and do those things.

Lolz.. Correction, my post is NOT about should you colour your hair or not. I asked the sangat what their opinion is about colouring your hair, I did not ask what Sikhi says about colouring your hair.

"It also brings down the quality of the forum and no-one likes to answer stupid questions"

Hmm well you know daljeet everyone aren't the same (Thank God) I don't think I asked a stupid question. After all this is a Sikh forum, and for what I know you may ask the questions you want. There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers!

Well bhenji, seeing as nearly everyone here is a sikh.....you are asking what sikhi says abt it.... (as it wud be crazy to say 'I think its allowed' when u call urself a sikh and u know sikhi doesnt allow it) blush.gif ....as everything we do and think is based around sikhi....our way of life :umm:

Thats what i think anyway blush.gif

deal khalsa...

i feel i have to correct you on a point...

our souls ARE perfect...it's the fact that we have this thick cloud of ego, anger, lust, greed, attachment around the soul that blocks our access to it....

anything the souls says to do is right...cuz it's the only part that's totally connected with waheguru at all times...

our mind on the other hand is not..

The souls are not perfect. If one's soul has done alot of paap, murder, etc. their soul cannot be perfect with bad karma. Thats why we are in the cycle of reincarnation because of the bad karma, and our souls are not perfect, if they were we would be one with Akaal purkh.

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
