Its simple as this because it was Guru Gobind Singh Sahib jis hukam for Sikhs to keep their hair. For a Sikh there should be no other Skeptic thoughts after this. But we are Skeptic people and we want to know even more and more. In other words we want to know everything in this world and the universe, but even knowing everthing in this world is useless if you dont accept Guru ji. |

Please Dont compare nails with hair as we cut only dead nails not the live ones which lie on our fingre heads. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-youth/19409-regarding-sikh-girls.html
Similarly dead hair goes while combing.
So dont justify kattal of kesh by wrong example. |

They never accepted any Guru jis, and they always questioned the flaws in society and not only that they actually did something about them.
A big example and a common one is Guru Nanak rejecting the jenaeoo. His father ordered him, along with a pundit, to put on this jenaeoo. He questioned them and did not wear it. Bottomline, our Gurus weren't brainless zombies and neither am I. |

Bhagat ji
How refreshing -- I am going through a "mindless zombie" episode in another area of my life as a Sikh  and have had to just back out of a discussion for fear of being truly offensive. You are right. These men had physical and moral courage and they were uncommonly brilliant, schooled in human nature, and down-to-earth.

What has happened to the rest of us?  It proves we are not Gurus that is for sure! |
