[QUOTE="Archived_Member_19, post: 49399, member: 2850"] <<Now to your question. Mardana is said to have PAIYAH GURU NANAK JI..that means he MERGED completely in Guru Ji....followed every single command of Guru Ji to the end. Would he be a "smoker" of Tobacco ? a misuser of drugs ? a person who would be lazy and good for nothing ? a perosn who wouldnt follow what Guru ji declares in His GURBANI ??

And i believe that though a morally degraded person as described by you might come and start sermoning, many wouldn't stay long to listen to him..... we aren't dumb folks... this process of giving/taking gyaan in Gurudwaras is good to intiate the young and novice... but someone who is seeking the true path and is not following a fad or just becoz his/her mum told them to sit and listen, would easily make out the sham... i feel this is exactly the reason that the sikh youth(not all..i agree a large number of sikh youth is misguided today) doesnot want to be like the people giving sermons.. my two cents here... also, on the point of a amritdhari but morally degraded person gets currency, this is because people are afraid to question them.....who will stand up and tell a granthi that he guzzles beer in the night ???? he will be shouted down and told that a Patit has no reason to speak up in front of "Akal Ki Fauj" .. i have seen this enactment a lot of times... the SRM is waved in face of the people who try to reason logically.....and the corrupt are given Shabashi, siropas ...just because they followed the SRM outwardly.... this culture is noting but showing the bravado and one upmanship this is no different from the moghul armies....something which Guru Nanak wrote beautifully about in SGGS.. i think the "khalsa" (behrupiyas) have hijacked the gurudwaras and what i see going on there is nothing more than a sham. Gurudwaras are being used for misleading people to believe that just by outer appearances and donating to Gurdwaras they become "True sikhs" this is no different from the Roman Catholic Church patenting its right on the Sermons of Jesus, twisting them to their own purpose [/QUOTE]
