we have the same "enemies" counterparts is a better word,as in the GUru's time nothing has changed. those enemies are KAm,Krod, Lob, Moh Hankar and the Boss Kal and don't forget our bemaan Mann
Baba Kabir Ji Said "Sura So Pachanie Jo Lare Dean Ke Hate" he is brave that fights for his Lord.

But Baba Kabir ji did not set foot on a physical battle field.
his battle field was this Keth (Farm, Body), that Wageguru made and sits within and in which Naam is Hidden. Within this body he sat and fought with the ultimate weapon his Guru gave him the Gurmantr.
there is no other way to fight these forces, but with the Waheguru Gurmantr, by doing Simran.

Please visit Simran.info (Meditation Information) too learn the waht the Gurbani is telling us. this Site features the Akath Katha which is very helpful in understanding what the Guru's Updesh is.

Ji, the Punjab does not hold a monopoly on idiocy or stupid behaviors. Such may be found everywhere.

Therefore, let us all strive as best as we can, with Guru's Grace and each other's assistance, to develop true discernment, peace of heart and clarity of mind, so that we may all learn the true facts of any given situation. In such way we may be ready, willing and able to face any crisis, solve any difficulty, take care of those who may need our help, and uplift and inspire everyone around us to the highest good for all.
Wahe Guru,

you're funny..
but to put it a bit differently...it is the ability to think metaphorically rather than just factually...then we will interpret our history (including the so-called "stories" differently.. with IMAGINATION - imaginatio - spirit - then we read about Guru Gobind Singh's Amrit ceremony in a way that transforms us.. it is not all about FACTS, which newly exposed to western education Sikhs think is all great. Western thought is fraught with Dualism...which started with the philosopher Descartes...what we need is to return to an imaginative, integrated way of looking at our history and bani. then it will IN-SPIRE us, in spirit...then it will not matter if we can prove factually whether Guru Gobind Singhji cut the heads of the 5 Beloveds and sewed them back and raised them again as factual history...rather in our imagination we return to that time/space and see the event as a transforming symbolic event, full of symbolic meaning, ie raising the spirit..resurrecting the dead...and to be curious about the significance of HIS seeking the AMRIT...to make us go beyond our literal mind and emotionally and creatively experience it...that has been my AMRIT ceremony and I return to it over and over again....so its not just idiocy, but the extent that we are able to hold and contain uncertainty, ambiguity, and ambivalence which we have been taught to banish in the name of dead facts...which no one will ever be able to fully prove.
