  1. According to my understanding, ape beej ape khao bachan is matter of doer ship, if you do the actions with doership*/identity/ego then cycle of karma ensues then you will get fruit based on those actions. But if you allow actions spontaneously coming directly from consciousness then its direct expression of that consciousness-vahiguru- everything is expression of divine. Sukhmani sahib talks about this over and over again - how vahiguru is doing everything, enjoying, expressing itself. There is only one and there is no one besides one.

    Regarding- Akhan jor gurbani vak- it alludes to the point there is no free will everything is per-odained- you can will what you want but you cannot will what you will which means backdrop of everything is pre-determined*.

    Doership*

    Ang-278

    ਜਬ ਇਹ ਜਾਨੈ ਮੈ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰਤਾ ॥
    जब इह जानै मै किछु करता ॥
    Jab ih jānai mai kicẖẖ karṯā.
    As long as this mortal thinks that he is the one who does things,

    ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਗਰਭ ਜੋਨਿ ਮਹਿ ਫਿਰਤਾ ॥
    तब लगु गरभ जोनि महि फिरता ॥

  2. I don't think we have free will , just like we cannot stop breathing by our own will, breathing occurs spontaneously and naturally, there is no will either way to stop breathing by body even if he tries to hold breathing , one cannot do it indefinitely.

    This topic reminds me of quote by Einstein: you could will what you want but you cannot will what you will.  Back drop is preordained. 

    Good thread on sa regarding this:

  3. It's quite a shame mental health is undermined /almost look down upon in our culture, Guru maharaj already says- Nanak Dukhiya Sab Sansar || ... everyone is suffering so with that kept in mind. we should always help one another, and don't think for second one is better than other in terms of mental health, the fact there mind still active denotes suffering. Everyone is on the same boat when it comes to suffering and depression. 

     

  4. In order to answer your question, if I could take your attention back to mool mantar/maha mantar, it has all the answers to your questions:

    It starts with Impersonal all pervading ONE non dual Vahiguru/God which we all believe in -

    IKongkar(Non dual One Universal Aware being)

    Satnaam (its name is Eternal Truth/Existence)

    Karta Purkh(creative conscious)

    Nirbhauo (Without fear as its one in all, all in one its one without second)

    Nirvair(without enemy as its one in all, all in one its one without second)

    Akaal Morat (Timeless Being)

    Ajooni (Unborn)

    Saihbhang (Self Aware/Illuminating) 

    Gurparsad (Pure Awareness Existence Bliss) / realized by grace of personal God/Satguru (Jot of all our ten Gurus in PERSONIFIED JAGAT JOT -Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji)

    Sri Guru Granth Sahib is infinite ocean of bhramgyan (eternal divine wisdom), we pay devotion to Sri guru granth sahib ji by nine types of bhagti http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/16852-nine-types-of-bhagtee/ to give us grace/wisdom to meet and realize Vahiguru/IkOngkar-eternal truth.

    Because we are not attached to NAAM.

    Anything devoid of NAAM is Maya. Simple.

    Yes there are cautions every where in gurbani to rise above from human conditioning, wrapping our head around reference points, dualistic notions. Sukhmani sahib and Akaal ustat compositions comes in mind, where it clearly says without devotion of naam -dharam and karam are useless, so cautions are everywhere in gurbani to seekers not to confine themselves in only form-sargun /maya but see substratum ultimate principle behind all of this, seeing source of it and always remember -Aad purkh (Primal all pervading aware being) in midst of everything.

  6. In short, Gurmat supports both:

    1. Sarguna/shabad -Personal God- personification/devotion/ glorification of personal God/Guru-Sri guru granth sahib ji, sri dasam granth sahib, shastars-see nine types of bhagti, history)

    2. Nirguna (impersonal God all prevading Vahiguru by concentrating on shabad via abhyaas/ meditation, contemplating and abiding on wisdom-gyan of gurbani and one spontaneously naturally- abiding, living and being, Jot saroop- Non dual all pervading Awareness- Vahiguru operating or living from natural way of being.

    This is to help all seekers who are at various different phases of spirituality or state in their life without loosing main aim of merging back in Vahiguru( Gobind Millan ki eh teri bariya)/ Man tu jot saroop hai apna mool painchain || 

  7. This is why its so important minorities support one another to face bigger threat of current times- alt right white neo nazi. I am not sure about UK but in Canada - muslims and sikhs lets just say all liberal whites, brown and black people stick together as far as inclusion, human right case goes.. In many instances, muslims have supported world sikh organization and world sikh organization of canada support muslims as far as human right case goes.

    My boss in my previous job who was hindu with strong hindu nationalist views, asked me how comes sikhs support muslims here in Canada. I told him as far as human right goes, we support all minorities, advised target of neo nazis may not be hindus now but soon they will, tables can turn anytime, against anyone. They have very white agenda, unless hindus can absolute certainty prove they are heirs of aryan race which they can't-totally act like them, they can't. For neo nazis they treat muslims, hindus, sikhs and other minorities as brown just like rest of us. 

  8. Thats indeed surprising that they would have their own parchar stall at vaishaki nagar kirtan. If their stall was approved , atleast basic of sikhi should have been made aware, may be engage in debate, discussion. 

    On another note- I do find surrey vaishakhi nagar kirtan first time decision of inviting first nations inspiring and fitting though, here its bit of that video:

    John Ivison: On Trudeau's India trip and the Atwal affair, Daniel Jean had a line and stuck to it

    Jean revealed fewer details on the events surrounding the ill-fated trip than he did at the time to journalists (including this one)

    There can be no doubt that Canada’s national security adviser was telling the truth, and nothing but the truth, when he appeared before a parliamentary committee on Monday, in an attempt to clear up the Jaspal Atwal affair.

    But Daniel Jean was explicit that he could not tell MPs the whole truth, because much of it remains classified.

    The upshot was that Jean revealed fewer details on the events surrounding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s trip to India than he did at the time to journalists (including this one).

    Jean said he elected to give certain journalists a background briefing in February on convicted attempted-murderer Atwal’s appearance at a reception in Mumbai to counter a “false narrative.”

    Atwal posed for a photo with Sophie Gregoire Trudeau in Mumbai and was invited to another event at Canada’s embassy in New Delhi by Liberal MP Randeep Sarai. An article in the Vancouver Sun about Atwal’s presence at the event asked how someone with his criminal and Sikh separatist past could be cleared to attend official functions in India.

    Jean said this is what prompted him to call a handful of journalists in Ottawa the next day to offer an alternative to what he suggested was “co-ordinated misinformation” – that the RCMP, CSIS and the Canadian High Commission were aware of Atwal’s invitations to the events but did not act to rescind them.

    “I never raised a conspiracy theory,” he said. “What I said is that there was co-ordinated efforts to try to misinform and I said these were either private people – it was definitely not the government of India, and if it was people from India, they were acting in a rogue way.”

    Atwal was a one-time member of the International Sikh Youth Federation – now listed as a terrorist entity by Ottawa – who was convicted in 1987 of trying to kill a Punjab cabinet minister vacationing in B.C.

    However, he is no longer considered a terrorist threat by Canada or India.

    The issue for the security services was more that Atwal’s presence was an embarrassment. “It was a faux pas. It should not have happened,” Jean told the committee.

    He offered a much less fulsome account than the one he gave me on February 22nd, when he alleged Atwal’s presence in India “was not an accident”.

    Atwal’s own social media account shows he visited the Indian External Affairs department in New Delhi last year

    He said Atwal had developed links with the Indian government, as his views on Sikh separatism had evolved. “They no longer see him as the enemy,” Jean said at the time, pointing out he had been taken off a travel blacklist, allowing him to visit India twice in 2017.

    Jean said Atwal met with Indian diplomats from the consulate in Vancouver. Atwal’s own social media account shows he visited the Indian External Affairs department in New Delhi last year.

    The national security adviser suggested it might be convenient for some in the Indian government to embarrass the visiting Canadian prime minister over the perception that he is soft on Sikh separatism.

    When I asked which part of the Indian government might be so motivated, he said: “The intelligence service.”

    In subsequent interviews, he asked a number of rhetorical questions: Who knew Atwal was in India? Who took the pictures of Atwal with the prime minister’s wife? And who sent them to Canadian media?

    Jean’s intervention – unprecedented for a national security adviser, in my experience – led to the opposition parties accusing the Liberal government of peddling conspiracy theories that have adversely impacted Canada-India relations. The Indian government subsequently issued a statement denying any involvement – “including by the security agencies” – in the Atwal affair.

    It seems that he may have said too much in late February, although he denies revealing classified information

    But rather than pressing Jean for evidence of activity in Canada by rogue Indian operatives, the opposition members of the public safety committee were more intent on blaming the Prime Minister’s Office for wheeling out the national security adviser to engage in damage limitation.

    Consequently, they emerged from committee none the wiser, which was predictable, but also no better informed, which was not.

    It’s hard to know what to make of Jean’s testimony. It seems that he may have said too much in late February, although he denies revealing classified information.

    Still, his actions have attracted criticism within the intelligence community.

    Phil Gurski, a former strategic analyst at CSIS who now runs Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, said on his blog that Jean did what everyone in intelligence knows is wrong: “disclose sensitive information to those not entitled to receive it.”

    Jean’s questions about how the pictures of the prime minister’s wife and Atwal surfaced are valid.

    Atwal blamed “enemies” for circulating the photos obtained by the Vancouver Sun, in the article on February 22.

    But Jean’s defence of CSIS, the RCMP and the High Commission in India can’t deflect from the fact a simple Google search of the names on the invitation list to the Indian events would have revealed. The vetting process was clearly slapdash.

    But the national security adviser had a line and he was sticking to it.

    From the government’s point of view, any reminder about the ill-fated passage to India is a trip down misery lane.

    That Jean did not make things worse will be regarded as something of a triumph.

    Daniel Jean set the record straight today at the hearing -quite interesting and very telling-

    Rampant ‘misinformation’ on Jaspal Atwal affair sparked decision to brief reporters: Daniel Jean

    https://globalnews.ca/news/4147124/daniel-jean-jaspal-atwal-affair/

    Some really good questions from this:

    In his testimony, Jean confirmed publicly for the first time that it was he who provided a background briefing on the matter to journalists, including those at Global News, and told MPs he had made the decision to speak with reporters after seeing what he described as “misinformation” published by CBC News and the Vancouver Sun.

    1. Who was terry melswki CBC source and vancouver sun source?

    Let me guess- self loathing Ujjal Dosanjh and GOI cronies!!!

    What a gong show.

    I hope the edited version is just as good as the original. I watched the original before it got "banned". What a disservice to humanity. The movie is amazing. It is very inspiring ,  especially to people who don't know about Sikhism . The only people who are crying about it are the ones who haven't seen it. You're trying to nitpick every little thing, then why do you not do that at your local Gurdwara when Samparda Singhs do Katha that doesn't line up with your views? Or Nihangs? Or Taksal? Or Nanaksar? Or missionary? 

    There are so many different views that people hold, but everyone thinks they are the ones who are right. From someone who has actually seen the movie, it is absolutely not anti-Sikh. It's actually the opposite. In the movie, they show people doing Aarti and other rituals of statue worship, but Guru Ji leads them out of their temples and contradicts those teachings. Isn't that anti hindu, if anything? The movie was made with utmost respect. 

    We finally have something that could show the world about the teachings of love, bhagti, and service that are taught in Sikhism, but our own people are trying to stop it. People are leaving Sikhism  at an alarming rate , and finally something comes along that could inspire people  and we try to shut it down. Ridiculous! 

    Totally agreed,  if one hasn't seen the movie how can they judge it before even seeing it. I mean there are already calls to behead the director by crazy hot right winger sikhs in india on facebook. Absolutely grotesque. It goes out to show how emotional indian /feeble/insecure/paranoid/hot headed communal communities are. This is same underlining fear and emotions - bigger players tap into and watch sikhs ripping each other apart or big players create situation such as violent riots to kill more sikhs in name of subduing violent protest. History is witness, most damage is done to sikhs by sikhs inadvertently/unconsciously  themselves as they say only iron can cut another iron.

    Lets just say even hypothetically even if director of this movie is bjp rss influenced, ignoring or making similar right movie in future to counter this movie with another similar movie with all historical/esoteric events and messages would be only solution. Heck, its open field, none one is stopping anyone to remake Nanak Shah Fakir-real, remake or important chapter- part 2 those who are upset.

    Just ignore the movie collectively if you feel so offended, it will fall into abyss. Ego thrives on resistance, controversy sells. I plan to watch torrent copy of it when it comes out as i don't want to support the director financially yet only after watching it and if i see it and deem good i will buy dvd or watch in theater. 

  12. Couple of points-

    - SGPC approved this movie before, did through analysis provided recommendation which were followed  thoroughly has a approval from sgpc both old committee and new committee at current, signed by all scholars in SGPC

    - If some people find it offended, don't watch it or ignore it but if you think by banning or doing protest, blocking hwy and other tactics is way to go, its counter-intuitive this will increase curiosity in people, its actually more advertisement of the movie,  remember - controversy sells!!

    Just like if you strictly enforced everything is forbidden,  make things trivial or controversial for kids outlaws on kids, kids will revolt eventually in their life, will explore whatever is banned for sake of curiosity, rebel back whether watchin tv, fashion, cell phones. Look at the lives and scandals of amish life style, orthodox jews, church pastors

    -Provide detailed analysis with strong rebuttal , why one shouldn't watch this movie and leave it up to the readers

    - I do have a point i want to make. I watched movie- badla made on sant jarnail singh bhindranwale, there is a scene of sant jarnail singh bhindranwale coming on to maharaj darbar, they showed huge parkash aura on sant ji in maharaj darbar where aura parkash on sri guru granth sahib was virtually missing in contrast with sant ji parkash in same scene. Same people who endorsed badla movie have a problem with nanak shah fakir as well. 

    This is good video from director of Nanak shah fakir, lots of great points, decide it for yourself:

  13. He reversed the decision of demoting his mp early this week, now he is bit in calm waters with his caucus and has their support along with senior members. Here are some detailed good assessment/advise in article by one of very senior global journalist - john ibbiston-article endorsed by andrew cohe-who is also very senior journalist in journalist world. FYI they are both conservatives they may have underlining vested interest to get jagmeet singh up to speed to split ndp/liberal votes.

  14. I mean by no means language on this thread is no where near vile as this one below but it seems to be we humans are all affected by same underlining fears, insecurity, hatred and jealously- Us VS them mentality,  who are the victims in both cases- women who have decided to marry person they love. One is journalist below from hindu back ground supporting pro sikh cause narrative one of few besides sunny hundal in media while media is ripping us apart second above politician-preet kaur gill again helping us again raising sikh human right  issue /jaggi case in uk parliament. And not long ago, we went on over drive jagmeet singh and his choice of marriage have various amount of threads talking about their personal lives. Lets talk about their good work , commend them for it than being that insecure douche bag below:

  15. Sigh, conservatives are not letting this one go, they on hell bent making it worst for liberals, public safety minister gave enough hints* for these <banned word filter activated> idiots to get it through in question period but they are not getting it, they would rather use raw-foreign alien influence to bring down their canadian gov't:

    How dense can you be or dirty politics one can use, may be CSIS need to independently step up in non paristan way and set the record straight.
