Whenever I hear of Sikh's praises in India or from abroad, one recurring theme is "Sikhs are very hardworking people" . Heck , I even seen a video in which Indira gandhi praised sikh community for its hard work. Now anyone can be hardworking , if they have that mental state and the grit. But is there a particular application of Sikhi faith that makes us so ? also not all sikhs are hardworking, and there're religious sikhs who're lazers too . So , what trait is it that , what principle of Gurbani helps us become so ?

You. Yeah you. I've been perusing these forums for a while. And I must say the lack of intelligent thought is appalling. There are certainly some members like Harsharan000 who routinely post wise musings but are often ignored. Why mislead people when you are given this gift of being able to influence others? Don't write from your ego, write from your Higher mind and being a Sikh you should know how to get in contact with this Higher mind. That is all.

For example,children with their parents,how do you know it's moh or love.If a child is scolded,child starts crying is that moh? Is crying in general an expression of moh. Does being free from moh mean being a master of controlling your emotions.Controlling emotions when you feel happy,sad,angry being emotionally repressed like inputting commands into a computer? In essence does it mean to not be affected by emotions? Please explain.

I am not just talking about outward beauty but inner beauty. For me when I find a woman attractive it is always a combination of their looks and personality. Ie some women just turn you on and your not sure why. Many might not even be the best looking but their personality is sexually attractive and alluring. Now this is happened to me on quite a few occasions where the female may not be the best looking but they have erotic and alluring personality and ooze sex appeal that draws you to them. So anyone know where most of the beauties reside? . From my experience it has always been eastern european women. They have a combination of great femini…

Guru Gobind Singh Jee at the end of 'Ramavatar' in Sri Dasam Granth has writtten : ਸਾਧ à¨à¨¸à¨¾à¨§ à¨à¨¾à¨¨à© ਨਹ੠ਬਾਦ ਸà©à¨¬à¨¾à¨¦ ਬਿਬਾਦਿ ॥ à¨à©à¨°à©°à¨¥ ਸà¨à¨² ਪà©à¨°à¨£ à¨à©à¨¯à© à¨à¨à¨µà¨¤à¨¿ à¨à©à¨°à¨¿à¨ªà¨¾ ਪà©à¨°à¨¸à¨¾à¨¦à¨¿ ॥੮੬੨॥ It is difficult to decide who was a saint and who was not; it is a contentious issue. My job was to complete this epic with the grace of God which I have done In Sri Dasam Grant, Guru Jee also says that both Raam and Krishan are subject to Kaal. So, why do nihangs celebrate the victory of raam over ravana? thanks

What Happened to Sindhi Khatri Hindus Making Their First Child Sikh?
by Guest Jacfsing2- 4 replies

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh, something Daas wanted to know was what happened to all those Khatri Sikhs from Sindhi origin, especially since their first child was made into Sikhs? (They themselves were Sehajdhari at best), shouldn't there have been more Khatri Sikhs if such a scenario was the case, or did they become something else? (Hindus/Muslims/Christians)

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
