[QUOTE="Gurmit Singh, post: 146424, member: 7784"] Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee Fateh You have raised very relevant and genuine concern, which needs to be addressed by the SGPC, DSGMC, Chief Khalsa Dewan and other Sikh Organizations since spread all over the world. But it is regretted to say that due to their ego and greed for money & power, they have failed miserably in spreading the Gurus' Teachings as enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib from Japp Jee Sahib to Mundavani. Now entire Sikh Nation has become like the cancerous body without any treatment. But I am of the view that let us not look what others have been doing, who have been following un-Sikhi Way of Living as per examples cited below ? When we read, understand and practice, Gurbaani teaches the righteous and truthful way of living. Once we start on the Guru's Path, we can then overcome such problems: (1) Gurbaani equally applies to Females and Males and as such both should obey as Guru Gobind Singh Sahib had ordained: "Sabh Sikhan Ko Hukam Hai, Guru Maniyo Granth". Then, there is no room for duality, illusion or imitating anyone; (2) Gurbaani teaches us equality without enmity, hatred but if someone does, he/she could be considered as an impostor and anti-Sikh element; (3) Gurbaani as well as establishment of the Khalsa does not believe in the casteism. Look at the Five Dear Ones selected by Guru Gobind Singh Sahib on 30 March 1699 at Anandpur Sahib. Guru Granth Sahib contains the Baani of Bhagats, who according to Hinduism, may have different castes, but for us they are as equal as Gurus Sahibaan. So we are to practice. In fact due to casteism, mostly propagated by Jaatts, Deravaad and some other Organizations, Sikhie has been disappearing in Punjab. Whereas Radha-soamis, Christians, Deravaad, Nirankaris, Naamdharis, Ravidasiays, etc. have been flourishing like mushrooms. It all due to the stupidity and weakness of the Sikh Organisations. (4) Gurbaani also tells us not to drink but it has become a fashion. But such evils are not restricted within Punjab only as the Diaspora Sikhs have also been following as well. In the Guru Granth Sahib at page 1348 (4), under Prabhati Mahla 5, Guru Sahib says - The faithless person burns ritual fires, wearing ochre-colour robes, leaving the comforts of his/her home and undergoes all sorts of sufferings. Then he/she wanders in foreign countries, leaving his/her own country, but all the five evils/vices like the carnal desires, wrath, greed, excessive love for worldly possessions, egotism have followed him/her wherever he/she goes. Hence, it is for each individual to seek guidance from Gurbaani, and not to imitate others. Episode at Hardwar teaches us to apply our own discerning intellect rather than following others blindly when Guru Nanak Sahib started throwing water towards west instead towards sun as the Hindus were doing! My request to Bibi Jee is to follow Guru's Way with devotion and humility. With best wishes and Charhdi Kalaa, Gurmit Singh (Sydney - Australia) [/QUOTE]
