[QUOTE="tony, post: 98662, member: 2152"] Dear Armapal j Thank you very much for your post, I agree with you entirely on the reason Guru ji Formed the Kalsa panth and also in the fact that a uniform was needed for them, Hence the need for Kesh, How ever if I may ask, Did Guru ji expect every Sikh irrespective of their individual abilities to Fight wear a uniform, One must take into account not only physical ability but also their mental ability, not all have the ability to defend themselfs even when armed. If a person puts on a uniform he then automatically becomes a target, no ability to fight = needless loss of life and thats contrary to Gurus teaching. So do you believe thats what Guru ji wanted, Sikhs to die needlessly, some people serve an army in other ways better and in those cases there is no need for a uniform. I personally cant imagine Guru ji saying that those who cant fight arent worthy to be Sikhs especially after his father Died for those who couldnt/ wouldnt fight. So to say that those who refuse to wear the Kalsa uniform arent real/ Proper Sikhs is unfair. In my own opinion Khalsa = Sikh army, Sikhism = journey towards enlightenment/ spirituality, or Khalsa/ army = the need for a uniform, Sikhism/ spiritual journey = no requirement for outward identity, Both can reach the same end but they tread slightly different paths to reach it. A simple way to look at it would be to say those that dont wear the uniform of the Indian army arent accepted as Real/ proper/ full Indians. the first part of your post says that Humans are spiritual beings lost under a dust of wordly pleasures, Agreed. and that spiritual beings live in harmony with nature, Agreed. the problem is that in england the majority do not work towards living in harmony with nature quite the opposite, The vast majority work hard get money buy big car big house and help to destroy the world with excessive carbon emissions, No person Sikh or other wise can justify the use of a big car when one only one person is in it, no person can justify heating and lighting a house for four when only two live in it, I could go on with many more examples but I think that we get the picture. May be instead of urgeing the development of beard fixers which arent in any way natural, may be the Sikhi institutions should be explaining and teaching Sikhs of the damage they are contributing towards the destruction of this planet with this open show of wealth. Btw before anyone shouts jealousy I have a 3 bedroom house which is sufficient for my family and also have 3 cars, 1 large for the whole family and 2 small low emission cars for single person use ie travelling two and from work. if the need arises to travel to town we use public transport. The bit about Sikhs who trim there beard to speed up getting ready not sure if you agree or not, please clarify. And still the question of where is it written not answered. Any way thank you for your post it has been very helpful in showing your personal view and in no way really puts down others. I hope my response has helped you understand mine.
