They have yet to grasp the real Definition of God as described in MOOLMANTAR .<?"urn:<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />ffice<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />ffice" /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">It mean there is one God. The name (naam) is everlasting. One doer. He is not afraid. He have no enemy ( He also have no friend). He have no image. He is never born. He can be understood by the grace of guru. No where in the mool mantar it says the granth is guru.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">. Guru’s parsad not elm. Parsad is given by guru on his own. When we ask any one guru or any one for any thing it is called begging. It is not parsad.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Maybe you should explain what u understand the meaning of mool mantar</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">2. They have failed to follow the real terminology of SHABAD ( WORD ) as Guru </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Shabad,mater,bani dhun naam. There are many names of same thing. How the naam can become guru? The naam has to be given by true guru. It is the vibration of this naam that become guru. There is no need for the guru to be alive. Ei:-</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">As the girl ger pregnant by husband so does the soul by guru’s given naam. It does not make any difference if the husband is alive or not for the child in the womb.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The naam have to be sat nam ever lasting Naam. That has to be given by true guru. It can not be asked. How can we know the true guru it is big question. Here it is how to know. If guru give naam to some one ans aske him/her to recite it every day and keep coming to him or mander,gurdwara then he is not a true guru. As I stated the need of husband is not needed for the child in the womb. Girl and boy don’t have to have sex to the child to grow in the womb. Same here if the naam is true it is not needed to be repeated. Or have to do karam kand to be saved. Those guru who ask him/her to keep coming and recite the naam is like homosexual act. It feel good but can not bare child.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Almost very negligible no of persons I have come across till today are clear about how Shabad ( Word / Gurbani ) is our Guru & how it can make us achieve the state of Living Emancipation ( Jiwan Mukt ) .</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">What is jiwan mukat? Just like pregnant girl have to be care full what she eat and how she look after her body by not working hard jumping up and down while she is carriing the child in the womb. Same the person who have received naam have to live the live of good person.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"> As a result the Sants , Babas etc step in to fill the gap whose only purpose is to fleece the gullible believers & make them worship himself only & not the LORD GOD .</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Can the worship of any person help to get jiwan mukat, no it does not. Can the worship of God needed to have jiwan mukat, no it does not. God do not need our worship. We only do it to satisfy our own ego that we worship God. As stated in mool mantar God do not have body that have heart. Worship affect the heart by emotion of worship.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">3. The MODERN Sikhs have gone one step furthur again questioning the very baisis of Sikhism, its requirement in 21st century, they simply do not want to follow the tenants of Sikhism but keep criticizing all the beliefs of Sikhism while at the same time calling themselves as Sikhs.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">All religions are created by men for their own power and ego. Those who are preaching us to be in the religion are doing so for their own benefit not ours. We have been brainwashed for thousands of years to worship and be true believer of religion. Other wise we will burn in hell. They will do any thing to keep us in the religion. Even kill people or kill us to keep the religion alive.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">4.The basic three pillars of Sikhism are </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">a. Kirat Karo ( Do honest labour )</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">b. Naam Japo ( Remember God )</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">c. Wand Chakko ( share your earnings )</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">There is nothing wrong with these three pillars. It is good living. It is the basis of almost all religion. I say almost, there is a religion that doesn’t have that basis when it was started. The religion were needed when there was no law and order. The kings ruled and they did what they pleased. Public had no rights. Now most of the countries are democratic. They have the constitution that protect the public. There is no need for a religion. We have the vote that we can use to replace the leader that we don’t like. In religion the heads are appointed by just hand full people or by powerfull leader like Badal in <?xml::<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />ffice:smarttags" /><st1<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />lace w:st="on">Punjab appoint jethedar at akal takhat. They issue paid hukamnawas as they please. Very good example is the sitting one fllor for the langar. If all sit on chairs then all are equal. The reason hardliner give is at the time of guru sangat sat on floor so we should also sit on floor. There were no chairs then. Now we have chairs. Now people are disable too they have problem to sit on floor due to the problem with knees.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">But Sikhs are all into external practices which are dogmatic heavily influenced by their sense of Ego & show off like Nagar Kirtans, Roadside lanagrs / Chabeels , Rumallas on SGGS , hiring expensive Raagis , Series of Akhand paaths , Building & Goldplating More Gurudwaras Hemkunt Yatras etc . </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />> </o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #001f4b"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">We will give money to build new gurdwaras but will not give the money for library or education for the poor child.

There is absolutely no effort on part of Sikhs to impart teachings of Sikhi , Gurmat/ SGGS to their children thinking it to be unnecessary .

They are looking for easy way to make money. The youths are turning to drugs n whisky. Most of the whisky shops are owned by the Akali dal party members.

[QUOTE="seeker3k, post: 121553, member: 6459"] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]IMHO Sikhs have failed on following counts : Read More:: Sikh Philosophy Network [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/7884-sikhs-failed-follow-spread-sri-guru.html"][COLOR=#001f4b]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=7884 (Sikhs Failed to Follow and spread Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Message)[/COLOR][/URL] 1. They have yet to grasp the real Definition of God as described in MOOLMANTAR .<?"urn::office:office" />[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]It mean there is one God. The name (naam) is everlasting. One doer. He is not afraid. He have no enemy ( He also have no friend). He have no image. He is never born. He can be understood by the grace of guru. No where in the mool mantar it says the granth is guru.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]. Guru’s parsad not elm. Parsad is given by guru on his own. When we ask any one guru or any one for any thing it is called begging. It is not parsad.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]Maybe you should explain what u understand the meaning of mool mantar[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana] 2. They have failed to follow the real terminology of SHABAD ( WORD ) as Guru [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]Shabad,mater,bani dhun naam. There are many names of same thing. How the naam can become guru? The naam has to be given by true guru. It is the vibration of this naam that become guru. There is no need for the guru to be alive. Ei:-[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]As the girl ger pregnant by husband so does the soul by guru’s given naam. It does not make any difference if the husband is alive or not for the child in the womb.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]The naam have to be sat nam ever lasting Naam. That has to be given by true guru. It can not be asked. How can we know the true guru it is big question. Here it is how to know. If guru give naam to some one ans aske him/her to recite it every day and keep coming to him or mander,gurdwara then he is not a true guru. As I stated the need of husband is not needed for the child in the womb. Girl and boy don’t have to have sex to the child to grow in the womb. Same here if the naam is true it is not needed to be repeated. Or have to do karam kand to be saved. Those guru who ask him/her to keep coming and recite the naam is like homosexual act. It feel good but can not bare child.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]Almost very negligible no of persons I have come across till today are clear about how Shabad ( Word / Gurbani ) is our Guru & how it can make us achieve the state of Living Emancipation ( Jiwan Mukt ) .[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]What is jiwan mukat? Just like pregnant girl have to be care full what she eat and how she look after her body by not working hard jumping up and down while she is carriing the child in the womb. Same the person who have received naam have to live the live of good person.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana] As a result the Sants , Babas etc step in to fill the gap whose only purpose is to fleece the gullible believers & make them worship himself only & not the LORD GOD .[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]Can the worship of any person help to get jiwan mukat, no it does not. Can the worship of God needed to have jiwan mukat, no it does not. God do not need our worship. We only do it to satisfy our own ego that we worship God. As stated in mool mantar God do not have body that have heart. Worship affect the heart by emotion of worship. 3. The MODERN Sikhs have gone one step furthur again questioning the very baisis of Sikhism, its requirement in 21st century, they simply do not want to follow the tenants of Sikhism but keep criticizing all the beliefs of Sikhism while at the same time calling themselves as Sikhs.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]All religions are created by men for their own power and ego. Those who are preaching us to be in the religion are doing so for their own benefit not ours. We have been brainwashed for thousands of years to worship and be true believer of religion. Other wise we will burn in hell. They will do any thing to keep us in the religion. Even kill people or kill us to keep the religion alive.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana] 4.The basic three pillars of Sikhism are a. Kirat Karo ( Do honest labour ) b. Naam Japo ( Remember God ) c. Wand Chakko ( share your earnings )[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]There is nothing wrong with these three pillars. It is good living. It is the basis of almost all religion. I say almost, there is a religion that doesn’t have that basis when it was started. The religion were needed when there was no law and order. The kings ruled and they did what they pleased. Public had no rights. Now most of the countries are democratic. They have the constitution that protect the public. There is no need for a religion. We have the vote that we can use to replace the leader that we don’t like. In religion the heads are appointed by just hand full people or by powerfull leader like Badal in <?xml:::office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">Punjab appoint jethedar at akal takhat. They issue paid hukamnawas as they please. Very good example is the sitting one fllor for the langar. If all sit on chairs then all are equal. The reason hardliner give is at the time of guru sangat sat on floor so we should also sit on floor. There were no chairs then. Now we have chairs. Now people are disable too they have problem to sit on floor due to the problem with knees.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana] But Sikhs are all into external practices which are dogmatic heavily influenced by their sense of Ego & show off like Nagar Kirtans, Roadside lanagrs / Chabeels , Rumallas on SGGS , hiring expensive Raagis , Series of Akhand paaths , Building & Goldplating More Gurudwaras Hemkunt Yatras etc . [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]<o:p> </o:p>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#001f4b][FONT=Verdana]We will give money to build new gurdwaras but will not give the money for library or education for the poor child. Most of us believe that if we give money to Gurdwaras the gurus will bless us.

There is absolutely no effort on part of Sikhs to impart teachings of Sikhi , Gurmat/ SGGS to their children thinking it to be unnecessary . Mostly even they themselves are not attuned to the teachings of SGGS , Rehat Maryada etc . 6 . There has been absolutely no effort on part of Sikh institutions to translate SGGS into other languages of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> starting with Hindi , English , Spanish , mandarin etc . There is no effort to make a consensus on which translations are treated as approved & start their use in daily Katha , Hukamnaamas . Nobody is ready to spend even single penny on translations whichever are done are with ill-intent under the influence of some sect , group which is actually a mistranslation done intentionally to create more confusion .

There are nagar kirtan and dharna every where. The trafit is blocked for no reason. No one willing to work for the living. They are looking for easy way to make money.
