What do you think?
Soni79 ji

Yes Guru Nanak's descendants are walking the earth and they are private citizens. In sikhism status and rank in society should be of neglgiible importance. The lineage of one human being makes him no more and no less important than another. Only one thing is important.

Pride in social status is empty; pride in personal glory is useless.

The One Lord gives shade to all beings.



ਆਪਹੁ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਭਲਾ ਕਹਾਏ ॥

You may call yourself good;



ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਪਰੁ ਜਾਪੈ ਜਾ ਪਤਿ ਲੇਖੈ ਪਾਏ ॥੧॥
naanak thaa par jaapai jaa path laekhai paaeae ||1||
O Nanak, this will only be known when your honor is approved in God's Account. ||1||


What concerns me is that the idea that Guru Nanak's descendants is coupled with the idea that Sikhs are standing with muslims. What is the connection? Get ready for what?

These 3 ideas together have the sound of an Internet scam.

You follow up with the conviction that we should follow messages from Guru Nanak's descendants. I beg to differ. Guru Nanak has already given us the pillars of our faith and we have only to use our good sense to apply these principles of devotion, truthfulness and service in our daily lives. The message is found in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, repeated over and again, in many different ways.

ਪਿਤਾ ਜਾਤਿ ਤਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਗੁਰੁ ਤੁਠਾ ਕਰੇ ਪਸਾਉ ॥
pithaa jaath thaa hoeeai gur thuthaa karae pasaao ||
The father's status is obtained only if the Guru is pleased and bestows His Favor.

Please do not leave yourself to be misled by individuals who are looking for followers to support their personal need for power and ego.
