The following controversial post by Archived_member2 had me thinking if he is a
Sikh, RSS, Namdhari, Nirankari or Radha Soami or own self-styled
Guru.
Was his intention to create confusion or meant to educate :-
Who told them that their Guru needs clothing? Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! Sikhs offer their Guru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee Rumaalaas. Who told them that their Guru needs clothing? Please explain. Archived_member2 He adds on to ask questions and make statements like:
May I ask if offering Rumaalaa is a technique of falling in love with the
Guru? Did He ask for it once? Is this a universal technique?
Parents also feel that the child needs clothing. They should protect him. This is the common sense.
In my view Sri
Guru Granth Sahib Jee is not our child nor the
Guru is sensitive toward climatic hazards.
The True
Guru is singing about people who offer clothing to wear.
ਅਨਿਕ ਬਸਤ੍ਰ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਪਹਿਰਾਇਆ ॥ अनिक बसत्र सुंदर पहिराइआ ॥
"anik bastar sundar pehraa-i-aa."
Many robes are decoratively worn.
ਜਿਉ ਡਰਨਾ ਖੇਤ ਮਾਹਿ ਡਰਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
जिउ डरना खेत माहि डराइआ ॥२॥
"ji-o darnaa khayt maahi daraa-i-aa. ||2|| SGGS 190-17
Like scaring in the field are frightened.
