Stillwater, Oklahoma.

I think I have sat down to pen down a few words of my mind after a very

very long time. Its been ages ever since I drew my mind on paper. I dont

know when will be the next time I do so. Perhaps today I needed to

finally express myself. So far I was busy gathering experiences of this

world, both good and bad. I have finally come to one conclusion, that if

anyone can accept man/woman as he/she is, good or bad, its only GOD,

the ONE who created man and woman. People will always pin point at ones

nature, and insist on one to change those features of personality which

they judge incorrect. This is not the case with the Almighty Lord. I am

seriously tired of watching people falling prey to pride, ego, jealousy,

hatred etc. The more sophisticated words describing these evils in

modern society are referred to as attitude problem, prestige issue,

backbiting or bitching. Time and again people are heard using phrases

like take it easy, cool it, chill, but they never seem to understand

what these terms and phrases actually mean. Attitude problem refers to

the nature of a person who is seen to be silent with a strong frown on

his/her face, or who walks with his/her nose touching the clouds.

Prestige issue revolves around an individual who is actually very

insecure about his/her reputation, and the slightest comment passed can

hurt his/her ego. Such a person can never tolerate the scene of someone

else getting more importance than himself/herself. See how wonderfully

society has renamed pride as attitude problem, and jealousy as prestige

issue!! Unfortunately

, people these days have too many issues. More than

the highest numbers any mathematics taught us. One fails to understand

as to why the human being has purposely made his/her life so much

complicated, when it can be lived in a lot better way. It is only now,

that I have started to understand what ills of society were fought by

Guru Nanak and His successors. The world was then on fire, and it still

is. Those who are getting the Gurus message are keeping themselves away

from all the above mentioned ills of the world. Backbiting is even worse

than attitude problem or prestige issue. It starts out as a general

discussion, and ends in one making a list of faults found in another

person. The Gurus were strongly against slander. There is so much

rubbish lying on this earth, I had no idea at all! No one is happy at

all. And the worst part is that one who tries to remain happy, the world

doesnt let him/her. It is a truly sad situation, and a grave danger to

a persons peace of mind. May the Almighty Lord free everyone of all

social and human ills, so that this world becomes a better place to live

in, and our short but hardly gifted human life flows smoothly free from

all complications.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • 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.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
