  1. Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal!

    Dear all and Shaheediyan Jee!

    Every day is new with evolving activities and awareness of God's Will for a true Sikh.

    A ritualist wears Dastaar, wakes up at two O'clock, does Isnaan and imitates Guru's suggestions again and over.

    I think I know where your coming from now. I too feel the same thing but you hear most sikhs theses days say, "Rituals have no place in sikhi" but I feel most sikhs theses days blindly follow them. But Guru Ji says without Naam any Ritual is useless. Guru Ji also says that people perform rituals in egotism but when Naam is within us, there is no space for ego.

    So I feel that without Naam any ritual is useless but with Naam, Rituals are like a selfless service (Seva)?

  2. Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal!

    Dear all and Rupz Jee!

    Quote "Did you ever look at the old pictures of old rich Sikhs? They dressed like royalty with the expensive Indian suits."

    I feel no true Sikh is poor. He always wears the royal dress of Naam.

    yeah true

    The Sikh is one who has learned true Simran from the true Guru and living doing it. Asikh is one who still has to learn it.

    Sorry I miss understood but either way your still a learner (Sikh).

  3. Lately I've been thinking am I ever going to take Khanda Deh Amrit. I've also been asking myself what does it mean to be an Amritderhi and would I ever take it in this life time? Do I need to take it? I dont mean anything by this.

    What is the meaning of Khalsa if it says in Aad Guru Granth Sahib, "‘Oh Kabir, they have become Khalseh [attained salvation], those who have known Prem Bhagat [love of devotion to God].’

    Maybe I'm asking questions I ready know the answer to it but haven't got the strength to say it?

    Some people say Amrit takes you.

    I've even heard that Guru Gobind Singh Ji said who ever trims his beard, consider that person in being a sheep. Does this mean Amritderhi Sikhs who have broke the code?

    But even Guru Ji said in Sarbloh Guru Granth, "If every hair of the body were to attain a tongue, even then the praises of the Khalsa cannot be said. "

    It seems like im getting people to force me into it? I dont know?

    I hope I didnt upset anyones beliefs. I've loved this journey so far, I dont know if im going to take amrit in this life? Guru Ji even said you need patience.

    Something I also came across today.

    ‘One time the complete being [Guru Gobind Singh] said these words:

    “In a hundred years my Panth [Khalsa] will reach adulthood. As adulthood increases and [Panth] matures, many are the vices that are found. Which vices?

    All castes will force their way into the Sikh nation, even the Malesh [filthy]. All the bad people will force their way into the Sikh nation. They will look like Sikhs but their actions will be of thieves, deceivers and Malesh. To look at, they will be Sikhs but, their actions will be of evil with the forbidden five [5 cults, ie. the Dhir Malia, Ram Rais, Masands, and Minas]. Those, cutting their hair who have become apostate [from the Khalsa faith] will have relations, and believe in the five Pirs [Muslim holy men]. Not trustworthy, misers, known as slanderers, evil persons, highway men, Guruless, speakers of evil words, etc., such [characters] in appearance they will seem as intelligent wise Sikhs”.’

    (‘Rehitnameh’, Piara Singh Padam, Pa.121-122)

    I was talking to this Hindu guy who raised a question regarding a line from dasam granth. The line from Dasam Granth was 'Chharti Ka Poot Hon, Baahman Ko Nahey, Kaiy Tapp Aavat Hon Jo Karon'. He said this line was written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

    He translated this line like this, "I am son of Khatri and not of Brahman who does 'Tap'." This guy asked if Guru was saying that only brahman should do 'Tap'.

    He then quoted another line from Dasam Granth, which goes like this, "Teh Ham Adhik Tappasya Saadhi". He said this line was written by Guru Gobind Singh. Here Guru Gobind Singh said that he did lots of 'Tap' there (in his previous life).

    This guy said that if Guru Gobind Singh refused to do Tap because he considered himself a Khatri, then why he did Tap in his previous life? Does it mean that Guru Gobind Singh was a Brahman in his previous life?

    This Hindu guy quoted a line from Bhai Gurdas, which goes like this, "Bhari Kari Tapassya Rorhan Ki Gur Kari Vichhai". He said that this line means that Guru nanak did lots of 'Tap'. He asked if Guru Nanak was a Brahman. He asked if Guru Nanak Ji did 'Tap', then what was problem with Guru Gobind Singh? This guy asked if Khatri Guru Nanak Dev did 'Tap', then why Khatri Guru Gobind singh could not do 'Tap'?

    Please share your views so that I could give him reply...

    First of all what does Tap mean?
