Hi

from personal experience, I find a lot of negativity amongst people.  (in fact, you can see a lot from just scanning this forum).

an important part of religious outlook, of an outlook of life, is joy.  we should reject all negativity from our minds, which is ungodly.

Sikhs of old have encouraged an ethos of "Chardi Kala"- which i translate as 'the power of optimism/rising up", to *always* be in high spirits, even when faced with change, poverty, torture etc

negative thoughts and emotions are like illness- they may make a person feel dull, down, weak.  optimism does the opposite.

another thing- i find that it is easy to be optimistic if i have a attitude of humility, whereas pride cause feelings of negativity.

Nice observations.

Remember we are in Kalyug, negativity is at its peak, and the worst thing is, one negative fool out of ignorance is enough to ignite negative sparks, and many others follow them as brainless lambs, who otherwise seem normal people in normal circumstances.

Real Chardi Kala within, can never ever be achieved by words nor intentions, which may turn out temporary, but by staying in His bhaana, through devotion to Wahiguru alone, the endless fountain supplier of true everlasting bliss and goodness or call it positivity.

Sat Sree Akal

there is nothing Ungodly or unhoni in the universe as Akal Purakh created everything in His hukam;  instead of labelling positive negative, accept all as part of the khel . Chadrikala is not optimism it is the nishaani of  knowing who your benefactor is and how It/they/she/he will always be there for you, tehandi kala is the nishaani of agianta of this fact. 

if people are excessively negative they need to connect with naam

Very true.

 

Even the Gurus were faced with many negative situations but remained positive.

 

Even when faced with the largest most scariest seeming obstacles, we laugh and say, God I recognise you, it's all just you. That's the way of the Bhagat.

    • 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.
