Ax0547 ji and sangat ji, read what has been posted so far and then reply. I want to hear your views after you read what has already been said.

I did read through much repetition, and through escalating anger. I saw many quotations of what gurus have said being slung about like cannon ammunition.

Thank you for wanting to hear my view. What I see is that your ego has become quite inflated, and is expressing itself in both anger and self-righteousness. It is my view that you are having difficulty seeing past your ego to even see who is responding to you, much less what is being said.

It looks to me as though you need to do some yoga sets and meditations to help quiet your ego before continuing with this discussion. Again, thank you for asking for my view of what has been said so far.

ਥਿਰੁ ਘਰਿ ਬੈਸਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥
thhir ghar baisahu har jan piaarae ||
Remain steady in the home of your own self, O beloved servant of the Lord.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਕਾਜ ਸਵਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sathigur thumarae kaaj savaarae ||1|| rehaao ||
The True Guru shall resolve all your affairs. ||1||Pause||

Haha, I will.
I disagree on the anger bit.

<- This was me during all that.

sarbat khalsa is a congregation of all... and whatever they decide is the rule.... now if we add up decision of all sikhs regarding their hairs( I am not going by SGPC /political definition of sikhs)... we should all agree that cutting or keeping hairs does not really matter....

personally , Tenth guru ji ordained it for khalsa ... and not for all sikhs......Khalsa panth within sikh religion.
