jsb Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 well...i've got a response that may not be too popuular...but: so hair is hair... if we shave our arms, it's bad... if we leave our kesh uncovered.. it's bad... but if we leave our daari flowing and long and out and uncovered, and seemingly ungroomed...it's GOOD?? i was thinkin about this a few nights ago... people always say that our daari should be long and flowing...increases spiritual someting something.... so what if i leave my kesh on my head flowing... then i get the eveil eye looks...now i've committed a sin or something.i'm confused... what's the difference/? and if there is none, then therereally ios no harm in tieing our daari.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 On sikhnet preetmohan singh ahluwalia have written his response to similar question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "He (Creator) does not need to eat; His Hair is Wondrous and Beautiful; He is free of hate."(SGGS: p.98) "They pluck the hair out of their heads, and drink in filthy water; they beg endlessly and eat the garbage which others have thrown away." (SGGS: p.149) "Those humble beings, with whom the beautifully-haired Lord is thoroughly pleased, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord." (SGGS:p.203) ":with my hair, I dust the feet of the Guru." (SGGS:p.387) "Your nose is so graceful, and Your hair is so long." (SGGS:p.567) Obviously this was written before the tenth Guru. The fact most people forget is that hair has been highly respected in almost all traditions, specially by religious men. The thing about God's Will is basically living life fearlessly and in harmony with Nature. People talk about cutting nails and asking why can't we cut our hair. This has been discussed before. http://sikhnet.com/sikhnet/discussion.nsf/...800070ce4e?Open It was not Guru Gobind Singh but his predecessors who thought hair should be kept the natural way. You might ask what has fearlessness got to do with it. Everything. Let me explain. A Sikh has to be Khalsa because only when he is Khalsa does he reach the pinaccle of Sikhism. Unless you are Khalsa you are never a true Sikh. A khalsa is commited to the Creator only. He/she is beyond the dictates of society for the job of the khalsa is to safeguard a godly society by working towards such an existence. This is the key. The khalsa has reached such a pure existence that it can fearlessly live in a Natural form without being influenced by desires of any sort. They are at peace with themselves and their environment. How many people truly feel this way? Hardly anybody because our actions and thoughts are controlled by our desire and our fear of the environment we live in. It is not easy to overcome this fear and a Khalsa is the one who has succeeded in overcoming it. The desire to cut hair; the desire to conform; etc., is ineffective to the khalsa for the khalsa's desire is to live a life commited to the service of the Creator, that in Sikhism, requires a life dedicated to the service of mankind. This is what it means by God's Will not that God commanded anyone to keep unshorn hair or die in hell. People who keep hair are not khalsas. They just fulfill one requirement. As most people who keep unshorn hair will understand that keeping hair has already helped them win the battle to conform to societal pressures that are meaningless. This is one battle they have won. For those who could not win the battle, cutting hair was an easy way out. The effect of pressure on them became so unbearable that they cowed in and became a part of the crowd. Khalsa on the other hand, stands out as a "face in the crowd." The very look of these people makes us realize what we don't possess - insurmountable confidence.

honey81online Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Waheguru Satnam well i would leave it flowing because by tying up your beard you are effectively hiding it. any hiding your beard is a temporary version of cutting it, really. just my opinion.

Guest Javanmard Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 1. By tying it you don't hide it: it's still visible 2. by keeping it flowing you give everyone an opportunity to grab it on the battlefield or a fight which is tupid really 3.

CK Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Well, I voted "yes" because while I don't think a Singh should tie his beard all the time, I think it should be a personal choice that is up to the particular Singh. Some Singhs have extremely long beards. I know one gentleman that mentioned to me once that he "folds his beard" because it goes to his waist...and mentioned that his father has a beard that goes to his knees. I know another gentleman that has a waist-length beard that is not only long, it is extremely uneven. He also ties it and sets it to maintain a "neater" (his words) appearance. I personally like the way a Singh looks with a flowing beard...but I can also understand that different Singhs have different beards, and if tying a beard keeps a Singh from cutting it, I like the idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Well, tie or don't tie, doesn't matter as long as you don't cut it. SIkh soldiers or Ranjit SIngh's times had to tie them because of the guns they were using. Their beards were burning when the guns were fired. The French officers of Maharaja Ranjit SIngh then suggested they sould put a net around their beards! hence the net some people use. :wink: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
