Daas thinks we need to draw a line separating Deerawad Karamkandee Babas and pakhandies from Gurmukhs who chose to abandon worldly pleasures and Maya to devote their entire life to Guru Sahib Ji only. Sangat needs to know the difference between Pakhandies and Gurmukhs. Otherwise, people like me would falsely assume any CHOLA wearing guy to be Derawadi Pakhandi.
