    The Description of the Nature of a Warrior.
    ਸੂਰਮਾ ਜੁਧ ਤੇ ਭਾਗੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਤੇਜ ਰੂਪ ਵਹੁ ਚਤੁਰ ਸੁਜਾਨ ॥
    A warrior is one who never departs from the field of battle, with a splendorous form they are clever and intelligent.
    ਧੀਰਜਵੰਤ ਦਾਨ ਮੈਂ ਦਾਤਾ ਈਸਰ ਬਿਖੈ ਨਿਤ ਅਰਪੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ॥
    A possessor of resolve, a giver of charity, and always ready to donate their life for Ishvar.
    ਪਰ ਉਪਕਾਰੀ ਸੁਖ ਸਭ ਦੇਵੈ ਖਤ੍ਰੀ ਬਰਨ ਕੋ ਐਸਾ ਜਾਨ ॥
    Giving happiness to all, they always serve others, recognize the class of warriors as such.
    ਆਤਮ ਧਰਮ ਮੈਂ ਨਿਤ ਦ੍ਰਿੜ ਰਹਤਾ ਐਸਾ ਪੁਰਖ ਜਾਨੋ ਪਰਧਾਨ ॥64॥
    As a constant practice they always instill within them the awareness of the Self, recognize such a person as supreme.

    The passage below follows a passage wherein Guru Gobind Singh mentions how Indra's downfall was due to his ego. This is written within the Sarbloh Granth, following the defeat of the demon Beerajnad and before all the Devi-Devtey [Demi-Gods] come together to praise Sarbloh Avatar.
     
    ਤਾਂ ਤੇ ਤੁਮਹੂੰ ਹੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਗਰਬੁ ਨ ਮੂਲ ਕਰਾਏ ॥
    For this reason Gursikh, never ever allow your body or mind to assume egotistical tendencies.
    ਨਿਵਣੁ ਖਿਵਣੁ ਦੁਇ ਸੁਰਜਨ ਕਹਿਯਤੁ ਤਿਨੁ ਸੰਗਿ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਰੁਚਿ ਉਪਜਾਏ ॥
    Humility and Forgiveness; all the realized people stress that you should nurture your love for these two traits within oneself.
    ਭਗਤਿ ਬੰਦਗੀ ਸੇਵ ਸੰਤ ਕੀ ਨਿਸ ਬਾਸੁਰ ਮੁਖ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਲਾਏ ॥
    Devote yourself to love immersed worship, service to the Saints, and the utterance of Hari's Name day and night with your mouth.
    ਯਹੀ ਬੇਸ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਰ ਪਰਹੁ ਤੁਮ ਸਦ ਉਪਦੇਸ ਗੁਰੁ ਸਿਖ ਕਰਾਏ ॥
    Wear this attire which shall carry you across this ocean like world; and impart this same teaching to your fellow Gursikhs.

    The passage below is from the 14th chapter of the Gobind Gita, written by Guru Gobind Singh. One can find this composition in the Patna Sahib bir of Dasam Granth.
     
    ਖਾਲਸੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਕੀਓ ਉਪਦੇਸ ॥ ਜੋ ਅਰਜਨ ਕੋ ਕਹਿਓ ਨਰੇਸ ॥ ਏਕ ਅਕਾਲ ਸਭੀ ਕਛੁ ਜਾਨੋ ॥ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਆਪ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਏਕ ਮਾਨੋ ॥ 62॥
    I deliver this teaching to the Khalsa, which was delivered to Arjuna by the Raja [Krishna]. Recognize the One Akal in all, understand the entire creation as that One Gobind .
    ਬਰਨ ਆਸ੍ਰਮ ਤੁਮ ਸਕਲ ਤਿਆਗੋ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਗਿਆਨ ਮੈਂ ਨਿਸਦਿਨ ਲਾਗੋ ॥ ਜਾਨੋ ਸਭ ਕਛੁ ਏਕ ਅਕਾਲ ॥ ਜੋ ਦੇਖੈ ਏਕ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਲਾਲ ॥63॥
    Forsake all caste and ashram's [designated Hindu stages of life], forever be absorbed in the wisdom of Brahm. Recognize the One Akal in all, wherever you look there is that One Beloved Gobind.

    Notice that Shastars (weapons) are mentioned as a separate Rehat, as to keeping a Karad (small dagger).
    Maybe Shastars are a reference to the Panj Hatheyaar?

    In this passage, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, outlines to the congregation, three types of warriors. This account is found in Gurpratap Suraj Prakash Granth, [1843CE], written by the Great Poet Santhok Singh.
     
    ਉੱਤਮ ਮੱਧਮ ਅਧਮ ਹੈ ਜੋਧਾ ਤੀਨ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ । ਅਭ੍ਯਾਸੈ ਸ਼ਸਤ੍ਰਨਿ ਹਤਨਿ ਨਿਤ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਬਾਰੰਬਾਰੁ ।26।
    Warriors are of three types; Highest; Intermediate; and Lowest. A warrior is one who daily hones their skills, for extended periods of time practicing with their weapons how to kill.
    ਟਿਕੈ ਜੰਗ ਲਰਤਾ ਰਹੈ, ਬਾਮ ਦਾਹਨੇ ਹੋਇ । ਸਨਮੁਖ ਹਤੈ ਕਿ ਹੇਲ ਮਹਿਂ ਸ਼ੱਤ੍ਰੁ ਬਿਨਾਸੈ ਜੋਇ ।27।
    That [lowest] warrior who holds firm in his position, [does not take a step back/retreat] covers his left and right. Facing the enemy straight on, these warriors destroy their enemy.
     
    ਟਿਕੇ ਜੰਗ ਮਹਿਂ ਅੱਗ੍ਰ ਵਧਿ ਮਾਰਹਿ ਰਿਪੁ ਕੋ ਧਾਇ । ਮੱਧਮ ਜੋਧਾ ਜਾਨੀਏ ਪਰ ਦਲ ਦੇਇ ਚਲਾਇ ।28।
    That warrior who can remain firm in his position, and push forward; killing the enemy while pouncing forward, recognize them as intermediate warriors who can make the opposing armies run.
     
    ਭਾਜ੍ਯੋ ਪਰ ਦਲ ਦੇਖਿਕੈ ਦੇ ਧ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਭਿਨਿ ਹਟਾਇ । ਫਿਰੈ ਆਪ ਰਿਪੁ ਸਮੁਖ ਹਤਿ ਉੱਤਮ ਲਖਹੁ ਸੁਭਾਇ ।29।
    Upon seeing ones army lose ranks and run, [that Warrior] who can instill steadfastness and courage into them, turning them around and destroying the enemy head on - Recognize these warriors as the highest.

    The below verse is from Sri Sarabloh Gurbani:
     
    ਪੂਜਾ, ਤਿਲਕ, ਹੋਮ, ਗਾਯਤ੍ਰੀ, ਸੰਧ੍ਯਾ, ਤਰਪਨ ਧਾਰੋ ॥
    Conduct worship, [adorn a] Tilak, [conduct] Havans, [recite] Gayatri [mantras], worship at the prescribed times, instill these virtues [in your heart].
     
    Notes:
    ਪੂਜਾ, ਤਿਲਕ, ਹੋਮ, ਗਾਯਤ੍ਰੀ, ਸੰਧ੍ਯਾ, ਤਰਪਨ ਧਾਰੋ ॥
    Tilak has traditionally been seen a sign [nishan] of someone who does worship [bhagati] of Parmesvhar. At Takht Sri Hazur Sahib they still apply Tilaks to pilgrams. Traditionally when the Gurgaddi was passed to another Guru a Tilak was adorned as part of the ceremony. Furthermore, annoiting weapons [shastars] with blood is also seen as a form of Tilak, a practise which can be seen at Takht Sri Hazur Sahib and within the Nihung Singh groups.
    Hom here refers to Havans. Havan is a traditional practise where a fire is lighted and various materials are poured into the fire. For the Khalsa, Sant Giani Inderjit Singh Ji Raqbawale explained that making langar is a form of hom, as it uses fire and provides for the poor. Furthermore, traditionally the Khalsa would lite Havans when reading Dasam Guru Granth Sahib Ji or when preparing for war. It was seen to appease Vahiguru's Shakti, Chandi. Baba Deep Singh Ji before fighting the Mughals performed a Havan as recorded in Naveen Panth Prakash [written in the 1800s], it says:

    Quote
    The rainy season passed with much pleasantness, and the cold season was present. During the Saraadh Navathri (festival worshipping the 9 forms of Devi/Shakti) many people were worshipping the Chandi (devi).
    Guru Sahib commanded that, “Take out all of your weapons, Marvaari Sikh, cleaning your weapons will take all your filth (mail) away, then with your clean weapon, worship it.
    Then out of the Guru’s armory many different types of swords were taken out.
    Teghas, Dudhaare Kharag's, Spear's, Saif's, and Kirpan's were taken out.
    Two types of Sirohi’s, seekh vangu sidhan, thin swords, Misri and Guajarati swords, Yemin swords, swords from the city Halab, Irani swords, Armenian swords were all taken out to clean.
    Small and big katar's (punch daggers), great khanjar's (curved dagger), chakar's (quoit), bichua’s (scorpion bladed dagger) , and glorious pesh kabz's (armour piercing dagger) were taken out.
    Various types of arrows, (Neje Muhee Teer), (Badaam Muhee Teer), (Kikkar de thuk Vargi Dandedaar Mukhi vala Teer), Sarbloh teer jis Punj Khamb, Chaar Mukhe Teer, Ik chota teer jis dee mukhi dandedaar hundi hair), (thothi naali jis vicho chota teer chalondey han) te (vairi de than vich kumbh jaan vale teer) were taken out.
    Guns and pistols, spear's from Tehran Iran, and all the weapons out of the Guru’s armory, they were all taken out, how much more description can this poet give?
    The Marvaari Sikh placed the weapons on the floor near his feet then began cleaning. During this, the Guru came out and saw all the glorious weapons.
    The Guru then said, “You are disrespecting the weapons, why are you putting these weapons near your feet? Akaal Purkh loves the Kharag, on his very own battle standards it (the sword) is displayed. 9
    The sword is the Aadi Shakti (primal energy), and is the very form of Sri Chandi. One must always worship it. All demi-gods, goddesses, demons, and humans whose fate was kind contemplated upon this.
    Respectfully clean the weapons.” After saying this Guru walked on. Later on, a Khalsa came and received Guru’s darshan as Guru was sitting down.
    After a while a Sikh said to the Guru, “The Marvaari Sikh has placed many weapons (swords) on his head and is sitting, but is not doing any work”
    Listening to that, Guru ji went to go see. Upon approaching the Guru said, “What are you doing? You are not doing any service; you are spending your time only resting.”
    The Maarvaari Sikh said, “Maharaj, only with your permission can this respectful practice be carried out, the service of washing can only be done that way, in the way (you proscribed) before. That is the only way the filth leaves.”
    The Lord said to the Maarvaari Sikh, “you are blessed; you are always doing service to weapons. With great love you do selfless service to the weapons, with this happiness with always be at your side.”
    The Marvaari Sikh’s name was Ram Singh, after listening to Guru Ji’s word he prostrated before the Guru and started to clean some more weapons. After cleaning the weapons Ram Singh felt a great amount of happiness.
    After the cleaning; all the weapons were placed on a high level and the Sikhs started to worship them with incense. The festival of Navathri was starting and everyone was worshiping Chandi and Mata (mother) Kaalkaa.
    The recitation of Chandi Chritr was starting in both Sanskrit form (from Markhandya Purana) and in Brij Bhasa (from Dasam Granth). Incense, ghee-lamps, sandalwood were all used and great wreaths of flowers were put around the weapons.

    In general, Gurbani discourages the consumption of all intoxicants.
    Intoxicants were primarily used as pain killers by Singhs in the past.
