[QUOTE="sarbjit_01, post: 47605, member: 133"] heres my little rant ur all gna be related to it, trusst me meaning i want allotta replies i dno if ne1s made this thread b4, they probs have but well theres nothin rong with gettin the same point across twice k so here goes Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh jeo [COLOR=blue]That music and those songs are welcome Through which the mind is concentrated on Him [I]with ease. (Guru III, Bilawal Rag)[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Ye, all good people, Sing the Lord's glory. [I](Guru V, Bilawal Rag)[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue] Some sang, but their minds die not enjoy, They sang in vain in egotism; They really sing, who love the Nam, And contemplate on True Word. [I](Guru III, Gauri Rag)[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Whosoever hath belief, His singing bears fruit, He is honoured in the Court of the Lord. [I](Guru IV, SuhiRag)[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]That Raga is the noblest of all, my brother! By which the Lord resideth in the heart. [I](Guru IV, Shlokas)[/I][/COLOR] then why people do we even bother listening to bhangra n bolliyan n rnb n hip hop n all that kinda stuff where the lyrics are not gna do us any gud when we finally leave these bodies of ours? whats the point why are we wasting our time chasing after culture, when this is the culture thats corrupting us? why dont we realise that in order to live peacefully and die in peac, we must jap naam but instead we listen to these lyrics about "putt jattan de" when we know the caste system is against our dharam and we listen to "ek glassy do glassy thin glassy chaar" whats that about? you know intoxicants are harming to both your body and your mind, alcohol is a drug, and not even a stimulant, its a depressant and if you really want to get high then listen to kirtan and jaap naam its a singhs ectacy. you cant reach chardi kala on a substance but you can with naam. and "munde ne akh maari, kuri sharmaa gayi", when we know that as sikhs the munda shudnt be akh marring in the 1st place cus its a lustfull action n then the girl shudnt me gettin all tomato colrd with sharam either, cus it means shes gt that lust aswel so people, why dont we forget this false love and concentrate on waheguru ji instead, because waheguru ji is the only 1 who will give us true peace of mind (thats my m8s wording not mine but im agreeing with it) also there are sm things that i find very disturbing, like sikhs keepin fasts fro karvachaoud whats that about? our gurus told us not to keep fasts and not to follow rituals then why do we still do it? [COLOR=blue]Performing fasts, religious observances and atonements, the mortals have grown weary.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][I]Guru Arjan Dev Ji Raag Aasaa 394[/I] [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Pilgrimages, fasts, purification and self-discipline are of no use, nor are rituals, religious ceremonies or empty worship. [I]Guru Nanak Dev Ji Siree Raag 75 [/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Keeping your fasts, reciting your prayers, and reading the Kalma, the Islamic creed, shall not take you to paradise.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][I]Bhagat Kabeer Ji Raag Aasaa 480[/I] [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]He bathes at sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and adheres to fasts, but he has no control over his mind.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][I]Guru Tegh Bahaadur Ji Raag Bilaaval 831[/I] [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Without genuine understanding, all fasts, religious rituals and daily worship services lead only to the love of duality. ||7||[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][I]Guru Amar Daas Ji Raag Bilaaval 841[/I] [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]and finally[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]O Nanak, serving the Infinite, Divine Lord, one earns all the rewards and merits of performing the six rituals, fasts, worship services, pilgrimages to sacred rivers, and journeys to sacred shrines. ||2||1||57||8||21||7||57||93||[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue][I]Guru Arjan Dev Ji Raag Bhairao 1153[/I][/COLOR] basically what im saying is theres no point performing fasts etc if your not gna do it with ek man ek chit infact theres just no point performing fasts anyway because japping naam from your heart (hridhay) is what will get you to waheguru ji, not starving yourself for your future husband. also bowing to pictures and photos of guru ji is wrong its idol worship its like doing puja to a picture, like a ritual which as stated above, wont get us anywhere if you want to meet guru ji, then go to the gurudwara, where guru granth sahib ji sits on a throne "sab sikhan ko hukum hai, guru maneyo GRANTH" the jyot of the 10 gurus resides whithin our 11th guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Guru Khalsa Panth. and also laydees stop tying rakhriya on your brothers arms because you can look after yourself, you dont need your brother to look after you n plus whats a lil string gna do? theres no magic in that string if you wanna show pyaar to your brother then show it all year round, tie a string on his arm everyday why do you need an excuse to love him?/ and brothers if your sisters dont stop tying rakhriya on you, then you should tie 1 on them, because there are tmes when the sister looks after her brother aswel arent there? sikhi is about equality for all including male and female equality women, remember Mae Bhago Ji, our sister Remember Mata Sahib Kaur Ji, our mother and remember Mata Gujri Ji, our grandmother these 3 are all women all strong powerful women who could look after themselves just like we can also why do you celebrate lohri? oh wow its a boy!! so what? what about when a girls born? dont you get happy then? without the mother there would be no males and without the father there would be no females if you cant have a child with just males and just females, then why do you celebrate lohri for only the male? if its a joint effort, then girls too should be celebrated anyway thats enough of the munda kuri argument all i really wanted to say is this is punjabi culture, not sikh religion dont call yourself a sikh and follow the culture alone, in order to call yourself a sikh, you MUST follow guru ji's hukum now you decide do you want to be punjabi? or do you want to be sikh? waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!! ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
