Choola and Amrit


Recommended Posts

In rehat maryada gurmat choola has no place.It is unfortunate that the practice of giving choola has continued.

Either Waheguru has made you ready to take amrit or not. Simple as that.

I also believe choola is a way out for any amrit dhari who may not have commited the 4 kraata but breached other provisions of the rehat maryada and by taking choola he/she feels the breach is rectified. Sorry, there is no half way house in sikhi for our own convenience. If one has done wrong he should not feel ashamed and once again appear before the panj piara and let them decide?

Some may become a little too relaxed in conforming to rehat knowing next year they can partake in choola.

Therefore, the practice of choola has to stop.Other family members must build up their hungar for full amrit quickly as possible.

There is a deeper meaning as to why amrit is taken and therefore one should not take choola. Very briefly inside us Waheguru has placed so much amrit(internal amrit) that when we are ready we take external amrit and the two must meet for the amrit to be sanchar. An example is within the wood there is fire but it will not light on its own an external spark is required to ignite the fire. An external flame is used to ignite the wood. Similarly the amrit inside us requires amrit from the panj piara.

Another example is a man carries seeds of reproduction and so does a women , but they must infuse the two separate seeds for life to commence.When external amrit meets internal amrit then WAH WAH DHAN NIRANKAR.

Also when one takes amrit we are supposed to be mentally ready whereas for the choola we would not have the same mental/ spiritual stage. However, the amrit is from the same bata thus it must be wrong to take the choola as the person is not ready.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

This is kind off topic ... but ... I heard further evidence of happenings similar to Bhai Pritam Singh's child from Katha by Sant Singh Jee Maskeen. He said that in places where there is a lot of Bhagti and Naam Bani, special angelic souls, devi and devtas come to do bhagti to fill their souls with Gurbani and Naam. These souls are waiting to be born into the right GurSikh families from mothers that have lots of Kamayee. These souls then come into Sikhi to be liberated by taking Khandae Battae Da Amrit.

suir nr muin jn AMimRqu Kojdy su AMimRqu gur qy pwieAw ]

sur nar mun jan a(n)mrith khojadhae s a(n)mrith gur thae paaeiaa ||

The angelic beings and the silent sages search for the Ambrosial Nectar; this Amrit is obtained from the Guru.

pwieAw AMimRqu guir ik®pw kInI scw min vswieAw ]

paaeiaa a(n)mrith gur kirapaa keenee sachaa man vasaaeiaa ||

This Amrit is obtained, when the Guru grants His Grace; He enshrines the True Lord within the mind.

These souls can only be seen by the Anbhav of Gurmukhs of really high Naam Kamayee, as was the case with Bhai Randhir Singh Jee (read the book "Unditthi Duniya by Bhai Sahib) and Sant Singh Jee Maskeen.

Maskeen Jee gave the example in his Katha of a Musalmaan soul which used to be constantly at Sri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar. The soul told Maskeen Jee that it really enjoyed his Katha. Maskeen asked what a Musalmaan soul was doing at Darbar Sahib, considering that it was Muslim in previous births. The soul replied that it had a real quenching thirst for Gursikhi Jeevan, and it had been unable to take Amrit in its previous lives. Darbar Sahib was the only place on Earth where he could receive the amount of spiritual food of Gurbani to fill his soul's needs. It said that it was waiting for the right chance to take birth into a Gursikh family as a human being, and then take Amrit, so that his Aatma could join with Parmaatma. But this was very difficult, and he was having to wait a lot, because the parents with such Kamayee to have such a blessed child are very rare.

Maskeen Jee also said that how could he be a Muslim, as Islam did not believe in reincarnation. The soul replied that Muslims could believe what they like ... Reincarnation will occur until the soul achieves its unity with Waheguroo.

Maskeen Jee had a lot more conversations with this soul ... but he decided not to divulge further in that Diwan, for fear of freaking people out.

    • 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.
