[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 120319, member: 138"] Arshi ji, Guru fateh. Thanks for the heartfelt response. I do appreciate it. I would just like to add a couple of points. As you mentioned and I agree with you that what Mr. Lamba did was fraudulent and then the Jathedars did not allow themselves to seek the truth which is the cornerstone of Sikhi and this incident went so far to ex-communicate the ex jathedar who spent sometime behind bars after the holocaust of 1984 when he spoke against the wrongdoings of the government. Now people are being threatened by the Badal gestapo Police that their houses will be burnt down to ashes if they invited Prof. Sahib to their houses for Keertan or any other gatherings and this is not a rumour but a factual thing. The latest one happened in Jallander yesterday. This is the net result of this ex-communication. Arshi ji, We, as Sikhs live the life of Miri-Piri started by Guru Nanak with the concept of a householder, meaning dealing politically with the relatives and the neighbours. In other words not running away from any problems that a person is faced with while living a truthful life based on Gurmat ideals. How spiritually one may be trying to live one's own life, but one can not escape from what life offers us, that is the reason that you were inclined to offer your opinion about the subject. Guru Amardas explains it beautifully in Anand Sahib: Khaneiyoh tikhi, valon niki, etehei marg javanah. Life of a Sikh is not just one high wire event but it is a way of life of a Sikh. As the high wire walker has the safety net underneath knowing that if he/she falls, it would not be the end, the same way a Sikh knows that his/her high wire life also has a safety net: Merah Satguru rakhvala hoahah. Ik Ong Kaar is my safety net. So, we as Sikhs have the duty to participate in the way our Gurus have instilled in us to live as Sikhs, that is, to live the life of Miri - Piri. One can not happen without the other. Lastly, I have asked the following questions several times in other posts/threads and they worth repeating about this modus operandi of the Akal Takhat. 1.What does ex-communication mean according to Sikh values? 2.Can someone explain what kind of Gurmat values it is based on which are prescribed by our Gurus in SGGS, our only Guru? 3. How can one stop someone from being a Learner- a Sikh- a Seeker? Ex- communication also defies and shows its disregard for Gurbani, which says, " Sabh Gobind hein, Gobind bin nahin koi". 4.How and who can ex-communicate "Gobind"? Perhaps only those who are drenched in the pool of Me-ism rather than the Amrit pool of One-ism. Something to ponder about! Last but not the least ex-communication, whatever it means in the mind of those who exert their own power unto others in the name of Sikhi, contradicts the concept of 4 doors of Harmander sahib. As they say when people make Sikhi into a blind faith, they themselves become blind to the Gurmat ideals of SGGS. Let us never forget that SGGS is our only and ultimate GURU and all decisions should be based on our only Guru’s teachings. Warm regards and looking forward to learning from your insightful essays.
