[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 97062, member: 189"] Guru Piayario Jios, The "Inner sword of GYAAN"...and the Outer sword complement each other...and THAT is the entire philosophy of MIRI-PIRI. One cannot do without the other. There simply cannot be ONLY the Inner sword of Gyaan...and no need for any self defence when the "Sant" is attacked..because the KHALSA is defender of the oppressed..the weak....We Sikhs have no concept of "turning the other cheek so as to get a stronger whack from the aggressor....Sikhs return the "favour" in a much stronger version,,always. I can well live with the assertion that the outer Sword is MUCH MUCH EASIER to carry..just BUY one from a Krpan shop....BUT the INNER SWORD may not materialise even after decades of effort....a person may become 70 or even 90 years old and still not have the "inner sword sharp enough /long enough to cut the tiniest bit of haumaii/lust/kaam/krodh/jealousy etc welling inside of him 2. Sword/Khanda as a modern weapon has been disparaged many times...yet when the Queen ( for example) wants to KNIGHT someone...she doesnt place a Nuclear Warhead on his shoulder..but uses a sword. A SIKH in the US Army or in his F35/Nighthawk F17 would certainly use the Nuclear Warhead attached to his plane...and NOT insist on using his Kirpan !! There is a PLACE for the KIRPAN?SWORD?KHANDA and there is a place for "modern weapons". Guru Ji in Anandpur Battles reportedly used a wooden Cannon...and also used RIFLES etc. This shows that even Guru Ji knew the value and time and palce for any weapon..and could have mandated the RIFLE as a personal weapon...or an AK47..or the Stinger Missile... The truth is the SWORD has avery special place as a SYMBOL of POWER..its still used all over the world as a SYMBOL in places where this required...in Malaysia also the Guard of Honour for visiting dignatories gives " shade with naked swords"...as required..and this is certainly done....as SYMBOLIC. 3. ALL KHALSA are SIKHS..but not all Sikhs can be KHALSA. That is reality but the KHALSA will always remain....and they will always be in a minscule minority..and these minority will never give up their RIGHTS..dastaars, full length kirpans...and they are getting more and more acceptance..even in the Western countries....shows their resilience in the face of much adversity and even suggestions that their kirpan can be tiny/sewed up..etc..THAT sort of "symbolism" is utterly ridiculous..it doesnt fool anyone.Kirpan _ small or tiny or sewed up is NOT Mandatory for SIKHS....only for the KHALSA....so sikhs who dont feel comfortable with it are not forced to carry it..just as no immigration will accept a "photocopied passport"..no self respecting KHALSA will accept a sewed up tiny kirpan. Its a fruitless task to carry on " defence" of a photocopied passport.:happy: [/QUOTE]
