[QUOTE="kharkoo4life, post: 21731, member: 1348"] [b]Re: Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale- TRUE SAINT SOLDIER[/b] With all due respect veer ji, i know i may be going a bit off topic with this post of mine but i would like to point out a few comments made which i was quite suprised to read. Gurmat is a philosophy, a sidhaant, which was shown to us by the gurus. No guru forced anyone to follow this gurmat philosophy. If anyone chose to follow gurmat they did so voluntarily because they came to understand it and appreciate embodiment of Truth contained within. There is no tenent in Gurmat which teaches one to hurt or kill someone simply because they disagree with you. The only time any form of violence is justified by gurmat is to defend onself or somebody else against physical harm/death. Simply because one chooses to diasgree with you, or not follow your suggestions/advice is not enuff reason to condone violence. With regards to the above reference to the masands, i am curiuos as to exactly what tenants of gurmat the masands were going against which warranted their burning. I am fuly aware that the masands, being the nominated sewadaars to look after the gurdwaras, over time forgot about their original purpose and instead became engrossed in attainment of wealth and power. This lead a very hypocritical lifestyle of outer dispaly of religsosity while complimented with an inner impurity laced in greed, lies and treacheries (not unlike most gurdwara and dera managements today). But this in itself is no reason to have justified their alleged burning, and that too ordered by the guru, UNLESS the masands actively engaged in physical harm unto the general population. You may probably have more familiarity and knowledge of the stories, so if this in fact was true i would like to know exactly what they did. One of the saddest marks on sikh history is how a person as loyal, devoted, and unconditionaly committed to the path of Sikhi as Banda Singh Bahadur, has been relegated to a mere, lowly, self-centered, power hungry fanatic. Guru Gobind Singh was not so short sighted or careless to have bestowed such a great responsiblity and trust on the shoulders of a man who inside had the potential to later waver from his faith and commit acts of disloyalty and blasphemy. Banda Singh was not an ordinary average joe off the street. Even before having met GUru Gobind Singh, Banda Singh had always been a highly intellectual being with thrist for knowledge and truth. Granted that earlier he was never succesful in finding the truth and was led astray and got caught up in mindless rituals, rites and cults of the time (much like Bhai Lehna was earlier in his life), however, after being in the company of GUru Gobind Singh, he came to realize the message of truth thru the Guru. (the example of bhai lehna is merely to highlight that while both were engrossed in mindless rituals earlier in their life, they both did have an inner yearning and thirst for knowledge of truth. And this thirst was only satisfied after each came into the company of the Guru and was blessed by their teachings. Obvsiously Banda Singh was not a guru, and can never be givne the same status of one, and nor is it my intention) Anyways, the point being, that Banda Singh attained the gyaan, thru the logic based teachings of the Guru and became a selfless devotee of the Guru just as the other great Sikhs of the era, e.g. Bhai Mani SIngh, Baba Deep Singh. He was a man wiling to undergo the most gruesome of tortures and death without flinching or comromsing even the tiniest part of his faith. All the tales of how he became corrupted by power and wished to establish himself as the leader, or next 'guru' are nothing more than false propaganda perpetuated by those who feel threatened by the message of truth embodied in the teachings of Sikhi. How could a man who inked nothing but praise of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh on the coins be charged with being corrupted with greed and ego? How could a man who watched hundreds of his brothers tortured and killed before him, who had his own four year old son murdered and his heart forcibly stuffed into his mouth, and who was later himself tortured to death in a most painful manner be questioned on his loyalty and devotion to the guru? Banda Singh Bahadur was the personification of a true sikh, just like the countless thousands of other Singhs who lived during that time. TO turn such an inspiring virtuous man, of the noblest of character into a traitor of the Khalsa Panth who was more concerned with his own status then the message of Guru Nanak would be one of the gravest unforgivable errors we as SIkhs could make today.
