[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 170371, member: 16886"] [b]Re: Where are have all the true Sikhs gone...[/b] Harry ji, Giving a laptop that would just be sat around and eventually binned was the correct thing to do. It is exactly what I would have done, I just could not have said 'no, it will cost you' Forget what others say about the word getting around and that you've been abused or taken for a ride, this is ALL nonsense as you clearly know. What he does with the laptop after, wether he abuses it for porn or sells it or maybe just uses it to skype back home- like you say, is NOT your issue. Any wrong doing anticipated after your kind help should not concern your action. Gurmat and being a true helper is for NOW and the MOMENT in time, not for next day, next week or next year. The problem with society and even some close family around you is that they love to criticize others actions. If you do something out of greed and self pleasure, then you will be rightfully corrected by critics, however doing a good deed and helping someone in need can also cause much criticism. I too, have often encountered this. I used to encounter a lot of tramps back in UK, and I would often give whatever spare change I had or even a fiver if I had no loose change. I never had the heart to refuse and say no or even to think like others that reply 'get out of my way you scum'...etc....etc.. If someone were with me, then I would often hear a remark such as, ''he's only going to buy cider with that'' or ''he's only going to get some more drugs''...etc....etc... -Hearing this, it never made me doubt my action, I always felt correct and still do with my help of kindness.

In these instances you do verify that it is a legal charity ..etc..BUT in the same manner, I am just (A) giving to (C), via a route through (B). If (B) decides NOT to give to (C), then they have been unfaithful not only to themselves but also to Me and (C)!!- ...-That again, is NOT my path to be judging. AT my moment and place, I have given to the correct being at that time and place. - MY conscious is clear and will still remain clear, even if it doesn't reach the destination.
