    Caste System In Sikhism

    Dear Sekhon, Gurufateh jio. In the Sikhism , the real caste is "MANAS KI JAAT " (being hunan) . All other so called jaats are 'family names ', needed for identity in the society. What people call high or low, is the seed of EGO. Beware of it. Win ego with nimarta. Gurfateh ji.

    "Ilahi khair ho us carvan ki jis ka har shakas meer-e carvan ho" God save the carvan where every-one is sardar (leader). We need to follow one maryada, and check that no one be allowed to add or delete. Satguru Ramdass ji have compared these adulterers with 'son of a veswa' who's father will...
