waheguru ji ka khalsa

waheguru ji ki fateh

I just want to quote someone from an email they wrote me.They said:

"These days every body is talking about how we' ve lost so many gursikhs, one after the other and like it seems like we will lose even more. the thing is, we need to realize now that everybody will die 1 day and we as the youth can't always hold on to the older generation, cause they've done their bhagtee and they will all have to go too. We can not live off that generation look at them they know punjabi properly they know how to read all bani and they have done yaers of simran they have lived their lives dedicated to Guru ji and im sure they'll get rewarded for it. but look at us!! Guru ji is trying to make us stronger khalsas but we don't know anything, at the most some of us know tabla and keertan on teh vaja. Thats very good, but do any of us know REAL bhagti? Have we ever sat in samadhi and done actual real simran/ do we even get up at amrit vela? Oh GOD who are we fooling?

No one but ourselves!

Do we even rise at amrit vela? do we even do full loaded regular simran every single day? And then when something bad happens we fall apart because we have not done the simran to handle it. This is an outrage and i truly worry bout all my brothers and sisters in THIS generation who havent done bhagtee or simran and who are still caught in the veekars, and honestly that's the majority of us.

We are all lacking!

I know its hard to be perfect and i'm farthest from perfect but do we even make an effort? I don't know. i look at how strong the puratan singhs were, look at baba deep singh ji. WOW can we ever be like that?? well maybe we will have to one day. The generations above us we have had amazing gursikhs passing away like gyani amolak singh and sant thakur singh ji and maskeen ji, such amazing people, even the 3 gursikhs in may 2004, and countless others. I'm starting to realize PEOPLE in OUR generation NEED TO become the next maskeen ji, the next gyani amolak singh, the next parminder singh, we need to get the bhagtee levels of baba thakur singh , which seems impossible but how else will the panth survive? If we're losing all our older gursikhs who are such great katha vachiks and strong singhs, we need to become like that ourselves. It seems like Gods taking all the good people away, so we need to creat more good people, amazing people, and start off with ourselves.

If all of us youth are still caught in my jatha your jatha seperations, how far can we get. If another morcha were to break out, how would we handle losing all our brothers and sister? Would we collapse and break down and cry or would we fight to the last breath like the khalsa panth should?

Waheguru, we don't do any simran.... We don't do any simran."

Yes iron arm that's true, but i think the main focus of what the gursikh was saying is that our generation should do more bhagti because the gurmukhs of the older generations are passing on and the future lies in the youth. So the youth need to be strong and do more bhagti like old school singhs probably did (even when they were our age). At least that's what I got from her mail

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • 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.
