[QUOTE="Archived_Member4, post: 97092, member: 6184"] This statement has no meaning because a Gurdwara fight can break out and a person could have used it in [B]self-[/B]defense. Also the same could be said about the murder, it could have been [B]self[/B]-defense. Until the Sangat here and I don't get further information about these two situations you presented, we can't come to a conclusion that they were not in [B]self[/B]-defense. So go further into this statement. Also just because you have not read the Kirpan being used in self defense or to protect others doesn't mean it has not been used as self-defense or to defend others. I always tell my brother this, your not the center of the earth. And to counter this, I have heard it been used in self-defense when a Singhs family, was being harassed and himself by a angry mob. In this real life event the Singh protected himself and his family. Virinder, Guru Sahib wouldn't even take the Kirpan off when he would take a bath. Here's what I already said on this issue, no need to write it all out again. :D I'm give you my quote from this thread I repeated to you twice, this will be the third and from a different thread; Hair, where I make it even more crystal clear. 'The [B]importance[/B] is given more to the [B]inner sword[/B] because this will give you the [B]knowledge[/B] on how to [B]use the outer sword (kirpan) with control.'[/B] [B]This one from the hair thread:[/B] 'For me it does not matter as Guru Sahib taught us, if you cut your hair, kept your hair intact, and if you have taken [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/amrit/"][COLOR=#000000]Amrit[/COLOR][/URL]. The important thing in all three of these types of people is that they still have to progress on the path of Sikhi; and some are closer than others to attain the state of Khalsa. A person that cuts hair and doesn't follow Sikhi, a person that kept hair and doesn't follow Sikhi, and a person that took [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/amrit/"][COLOR=#000000]Amrit[/COLOR][/URL] and just wears the 5 kakkars are all in one category because their life has become a ritual. These last three because of their ignorance have thought for some reason all they need to do is keep practicing equality and deny rest of Sikhi teaching, kept hair but denied rest of teaching, took [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/amrit/"][COLOR=#000000]Amrit[/COLOR][/URL], but didn't bother to progress, take anyone of them and they are practicing a ritual. Progress and keep learning is what we all are doing. In this progress all I ask for is, if you don't want to progress any further, than don't try to justify it because there is no need and this is between you and Guruji. ( this includes all of the sangat here, which includes me neither am I saying a person is doing this.) When I declared myself [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/sikh/"][COLOR=#000000]Sikh[/COLOR][/URL] of the Guru then I took a oath and promised Guru ji i will not stop on this path till I reach the state of Khalsa, with your(Guru ji's) kirpa that is my lifes goal as you(Guru ji) taught me to give my head for the teachings.
