[QUOTE="Jugraj Singh, post: 3010, member: 442"] Veer Vaheguruseeker ji, you said >>>If Keshki were to be one of our 5K's rather than Kesh, then It would indicate that covering our heads is more important than our kesh. >>> Well no. This is illogical. You can not be a Sikh without your kesh. Cutting your kesh is a bujjar kurehit. If you cut your hair you are no longer an amritdhari. However if you take off a kakkar then you simply go to the panj and get forgiven you by no means have broken your amrit if you take off a kakkar. It seems to me that calling kesh a kakkar is giving kesh less importance then it's meant to have. >>> In other words SARDAARI ( only nobles wore turbans) came before spirituality, Or shall we put it in this way that MIRI had more importance than PIRI. >>> How did you come to associate a keski with sardari? Please explain your logic. how do you know what guru sahib was thinking when he gave us the gift of keski? The truth is you don't know. ONly guru sahib knows his reasons for doing things. We can only make guesses. >>>> Now the question arises, Did Guru Gobind Singh Ji who established Khalsa Panth want us to stand out without being outstanding? >>> What are you on about?

Without rehit we are like the honey bees... we have access to so much ras but never develop an appreciation for it. The sharda that we have in our hearts will manifiest itself in devotion to the guru... a longing and drive to follow his every hukam to the best of our ability and to beg for a chance to serve mindy body and soul. A lot of people can talk about pyar ... but those who walk the path don't talk abou it... they are too busy living it. >>>> If Keshki were more important than the Kesh then why would men be required to keep their facial hair? >>>> Not only men but all sikhs are required to keep ALL kesh on their body. I don't think you are familiar with concept of bujjar kurehit. 1) cutting hair 2) eating meat 3) intoxicants 4) pre marital sex/ adultery if you do any of these you are not a sikh anymore. You also said in one of your posts that, in your opinion, their is only one authetic AKJ person. Well all I have to say is this. We do ardass everyday and say, "... dekh kay andith kitay.." as in we are showing appreciation for those who looked away from others faults. Your posts seem to contradict themselves. 1st you say that it's what inside the person that matters... then you go onto say that you only know of 1 person in all of AKJ who is authentic. WEll how do you know what's inside of peoples hearts. According to your own logic you shouldn't be so quick to judge. It's easy to write off Singhs who are trying to keep rehit when you don't even know them... it's easier still to life your life in ignorance of Sikhi ... and easier still to not have any sikhi at all. No one ever said that the path was easy. Noone ever said you won't have to rethink your understanding of the world of and of yourself. We have to kill our haumai every step of the way. Putting guru's will above our own and asking for the strength to live in bhana. I know Singhs who keep a lot of rehit and I've known them for a while now. I have noticed a pattern as well. The more rehit you keep the more pyar you have for guru sahib. If it's all inside of us then why even bother doing paath. If we already have the thirst to meet God and are such pure souls then why did guru sahib say, "...antar gath teerath mal nao". The fact is that we are all here because we are not pure souls.
