[QUOTE="Abneet, post: 194470, member: 19402"] Spnadmin Ji, you are absolutely right when you say he is talking about a militant approach. I don't know why he says Khalsa shall dominate over the whole world. This is a hard mission but the main focus is starting bit by bit and move our way up. Now I know you aren't a parent yet and you have witnessed parent's grief for their children. But look at what our ancestors did in Punjab. They weren't laid back spnadmin ji. That's what parent's should fix nowadays. The word "must" has to be used you have to understand because without the word must you are becoming laid back and when the child does something that stuns the parents they know why exactly. spnadmin ji, I know "must" is a turn off but what other choice is there. I'm telling you right now we are running out of options. If you don't use the word must or educate your kid by force he will end up on the wrong path. It has been proven trust me many cases where the Sikh mother is laid back and realizes she has given a lot of room to her child to do stuff he or she wants. When their kesh gets cut who's fault is it? That's not the worst of it. The worst of it all is when the parents don't care about the kesh after a few days! They just forget everything in the past and move on! I can't explain how frustrating it is to see this in our society. A very good example even is my own family. My grandfather's dad died when he was only 8 months old. He died after fighting in 1947 I believe. My grandfather growing up with only a single mother had a lot of trouble. He was a alcoholic since his teenage years. But one day he met a sant ji in Amritsar. This sant ji was a very powerful and influential man who was even blind. He changed my grandpa's life around. He stopped the alcohol abuse and began to become a true Sikh. He taught my grandpa Gurmukhi literally everything he knew. My grandpa shaped my Dad in the same way. My grandpa had to use force and it was a must and today; I guarantee he'll say he doesn't regret one bit using force. Later on this blind sant ji was killed during the attack on Harmandar Sahib in 1984. My grandpa told me he that he was told back then by sant ji that one day Sikh youth will suffer a lot following just the basic principles of Sikhism. Things will need to be changed if any progress wants to be made. I know it will be nearly impossible to have a sant ji like this talking in each gurdwara in the world and even get the audience to listen, but it is worth a try. These influential speakers can help parents even Sikh youth themselves find the right path for them. It takes dedication and devotion, but it is very hard in America where most Sikh societies are ignoring the Rehit Maryada. Sikh education can start at home though. Sikh parents have to take advantage of this. If Sikh parents know that their gurdwaras aren't properly helping Sikh youth learn, then they themselves have to take charge of it. [/QUOTE]
