पर निंदा करे अंतरि मलु लाए ॥

Par ninḏā kare anṯar mal lā▫e.

He slanders others, and pollutes himself with his own filth.

By continually slandering others, they carry a terrible load, and they carry the loads of others for nothing. ||4||

If I am slandered, I go to heaven;

These are just a few examples of Ninda Tuks to be found in Gurbani. I was listening to katha where the Gurmukh explained that when we engage in slander (ninda) of others , we are actually passing our Nitnem Phall (earnings) to that person. Sometimes we spend years accumulating Naam Dhann (wealth of Naam) only to lose it in a nanosecond by engaging in Ninda.

Should we refrain from speaking the truth?..........This is a question which is next on the list.

A teacher writes a critical analysis of the student's work in order to highlight any short comings in their work , but the teacher's aim is not to humiliate the student in public in order to make himself look big and the student smaller. The mission of the teacher is to strengthen that person so that may pass all the exams.

If a person has done wrong then they should be told in private. If they pay no attention then let the relevant authorities deal with them.

Can we afford to lose our Nitnem Pall by engaging in Ninda?

Do we have the capacity to take someone else's filth? ..............Aren't we dukhi enough already without taking someone else's karam too?...........

This is my interpretation of Gurbani , which all of the traditional Gurmukhs endorse. If anybody objects to this interpretation then I hereby apologise and request their forgiveness.

Anyone engaging in Ninda is a personal choice since they will have to face the phall of their own consequences but it does hurt me when I see my fellow Sikhs embarking on something that is ultimately going to damage them.
