How Do We Define 'brahamgyani'?


Recommended Posts

Gurbani is the truth.

ਕਾਚੇ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਹੂਆ ॥

Through a false guru, liberation is not found.

Waheguru jee kaa Khalsa

Waheguru jee kee Fateh

I said MAN MADE sources.Don't add Gurbani in this.I take it as a disrespect.And Yes ,from beginning I'm talking about a True Guru ,everyone knows a false Guru cannot help us.

I take that to mean man made Gurus who would mislead in order to control the masses. I totally lump those in there who try to push back women into subservient and subordinant role. False Gurus lead us away from finding the Divine within ourselves. They mislead us into thinking we cant find the truth within ourselves...

The True Guru is within us.

Consider this when you read the next few lines of that same shabad you quoted Paapiman...in fact the VERY NEXT few lines right after the line you quoted:

ਕੇਤੀ ਨਾਰਿ ਵਰੁ ਏਕੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ

Keṯī nār var ek samāl.

There are so many brides of the One Husband Lord - consider this.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਰਣੁ ਜੀਵਣੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਨਾਲਿ

Gurmukẖ maraṇ jīvaṇ parabẖ nāl.

The Gurmukh dies, and lives with God.

ਦਹ ਦਿਸ ਢੂਢਿ ਘਰੈ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਇਆ

Ḏah ḏis dẖūdẖ gẖarai mėh pā▫i▫ā.

Searching in the ten directions, I found Him within my own home.

Waheguru!! Waheguru!! Waheguru!!

Dhan Guru Ramdass Patsahh!!

Brides mean true souls ,gurmukhs,who have turned one with their husband(god))

Dhan hai oh mahapurkh ,gurmukh pyare!!

Dhan Guru Dhan Guru Pyare!!

And when one gets darshan of true naam in his own home(body),then he becomes another bride of one husband...

Wahhh!!!

May we get marry soon and get called as Brides!!!

Dhan Sache patsahh!!

papiman veerji but namdhari respect guru granth sahib too. i had seen thakur daleep singh ( present leader of namdhari faith[jeevan nagar] ) bow down to guru granth sahib and he is trying to unite the panth. Namdharis had given shaheedi to stop the bucherkhana which was made near harmandir sahib by britishers. they give full respect to women not like ddt.

Bro, I am guessing, there are many hindus out there too, who respect SSGGSJ. But the problem is that, Naamdharis equate Baba Ram singh jee (a saint) to Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev jee Maharaaj. They have the freedom to do so, but then we cannot classify them as Sikhs.

Namdharis did sacrifice a lot in the past. No one can deny that.

No I took it the same... to use the word cult on another sect is huge disrespect.

He doesnt actually know the meaning of cult.

Cults brainwash their members, isolate them from family, drain their whole money and possessions, abuse their members to insight fear and submission, and make them think that if they ever left, they would go to hell or threaten to exile or shun them rest of their life. I knew someone who had to be rescued from an actual cult and deprogrammed. It was horrible.

None of the Sikh sects fall under this term in any sense of the word!

I am not promoting any hatred. I will respect a Radhaswami, Naamdhari or a Sant Nirankari, if he is a better human than me.

The point of focus - how can a person affiliated with Naamdhari cult, who believes in a false theory - Baba Raam SIngh jee is the 12th guru of Sikhs - attain Brahamgyan? It is not possible.

Paapiman as far as I know Naamdhari do not fall under the meaning of cult:

You are only using the term cult because you disagree with them. You dont actually know the meaning of the word!!!

Naamdhari is a cult as they believe in a false theory.

AKJ is a cult, as some of its members, do not believe that Sri Raagmala Sahib jee is Gurbani.

Simple definition of a cult:

Quote

a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

Sooo DDT is a cult then too by that definition because they have extremist views of women, which are false teaching that go against total equality in Gurbani.

I'd much rather belong to a supposed cult (using that definition) that is only considered as such because *some* of its members disagree on one prayer, than to belong to a group who have an extreme view of women as being inferior to men and go against nearly the full SGGSJ where it states that women and men are equal (false teaching).

That is why I said earlier, hatred is different from truth.

If one says Naamdharis should be killed/beaten/discriminated/made fun of/punished for their belief - that is hatred.

Stating the fact - Naamdhari is a cult - Truth.

The reason I say "some" of its members (see below) is because some members of AKJ do believe in Sri Raagmala Sahib jee.

"AKJ is a cult, as some of its members, do not believe that Sri Raagmala Sahib jee is Gurbani."

To say who is a cult or not is out of my " under progression" mind.So,I can't put any comments.

A member of Naamdhari has just as much chance as anyone else of achieving Brahamgyan because the answer is WITHIN US.

Paapiman will consider anyone who is not DDT / Nihang as a cult because he will just call all of them false.

But he doesnt realize that DDT how they treat women is also false. Making DDT a cult by his own definition.

The reason I say "some" of its members (see below) is because some members of AKJ do believe in Sri Raagmala Sahib jee.

"AKJ is a cult, as some of its members, do not believe that Sri Raagmala Sahib jee is Gurbani."

And DDT is a cult because nearly ALL of its members treat women as inferior, want women to bow to men to signify and show that inferiority, and restrict women from doing a lot of seva. That is false teaching and against Gurbani. Nearly ALL of SGGSJ speaks of equality of ALL humans. Guru Gobind Singh Jis 52 Hukams does not distinguish inferiority of gender. Man made rhetnamas like Chaupa Singh were sexist and based on their own views (in Chaupa Singhs case he was of Brahmin background!). DDT go against full equality, teach that only THEIR view is right, threaten others if they dont believe the same or name call etc... and this is more of a cult description than Naamdharis, or AKJ!

Bro, just following SSGGSJ is different from worshiping it, as a living God.

How can one call someone a Sikh, if he believes his human guru/sant is equal to Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev jee Maharaaj? This is utter blasphemy.
