Does this remind anyone else of Guru Nanak Dev ji in Mecca? The more time that passes, the more Sikhi seems to adopt the very ideas the Gurus opposed.
I fully understand bani should be respected, but am I the only one that thinks this is getting a little too dogmatic?
Do you really think you are cleaner by not touching doors? How clean is the towel you used to dry your hands? Bacteria and microbes are everywhere. Wash your hands for sure, but you don't have to avoid touching a doorknob to get to the room where you keep gutkas. That seems a bit extreme to me.
Remember, the Gurus emphasized cleanliness of the soul.
Yes even i was thinking the same way. Where is the such soul. people are getting into keeping everything else clean.
we know we consider gurbani as our guru but by not washing our hands till our elbows or four times or not sitting on a higher place we are not neccerarily disrespecting our guru. Have forgotten how much importance our guru has given to dhana bhagat because of his clean soul.
