As you sow you shall reap". I read in a book called the miracle of ardas that if you knowingly do wrong your the cause of your own destruction but if while trying you fall weak to the five enemies/thives its a different story. I suppose its the the challenge of a life time for every Sikh to over come the mind.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>mandeep singhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-1140214778193391332006-02-17T22:19:00.000+00:002006-02-17T22:19:00.000+00:00Harpreet Kaur Bhenji - our Sikhi should be based o...Harpreet Kaur Bhenji - our Sikhi should be based on the miracle of Gurbani and how a Manmukh can be graced to become a Gurmukh. How a person's mind and life can change is the true miracle!!<BR/><BR/>These types of incidents, though true - shouldn't be the sole basis for our Sikhi. Perhaps thats what you mean by Babbe saying stories etc. The basis of Sikhi should be Guru Sahib and the beauty of Sikhi.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Regards to taking Amrit - "Raj Na Chaao, Mukt Na Chaa, MAN PREET CHARAN KAMALAARE"... a Sikh does not take Amrit for the greed of LIBERATION or SALVATION. A person takes Amrit because he or she wants to pledge his or her life to the Guru. Its a commitment. <BR/><BR/>Taking Amrit is declaring sole allegiance to Guru Granth and Guru Panth. If you love Guru then naturally you will strive to take Amrit and follow the Guru's Hukam. <BR/><BR/>Forcing anyone to take Amrit is not good a thing. It should be a personal act - the person should beg for the gift from the Panj Piaare. Go back to the story of 1699. Guru jee is always saying to us "ARe you willing to give your head?" "ARe you willing to walk to the walk, talk the talk and follow this path, thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword." The Five stood up and gave thier head because they TRUSTED THE GURU, LIVED FOR THE GURU, and WANTED NOTHING ELSE THAN TO FOLLOW THE GURU's PATH.... so there's your answer.Manvir Singh (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17987883036901467330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-1140211325252035692006-02-17T21:22:00.000+00:002006-02-17T21:22:00.000+00:00Oh my WaheguruOh my WaheguruOtpreka Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338424183366545074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-1140208979744857952006-02-17T20:42:00.000+00:002006-02-17T20:42:00.000+00:00Just to add look at the relationship between mothe...Just to add look at the relationship between mother and child. A father might go over the top and gave a hard slap but a mother usually gives minimal punishment... because she doesn't want to give more than deserved because she loves the child.<BR/><BR/>Through Simran and Saadh Sangat are Karma is washed away and Dharam Raj (the Divine Law/ Laws of Karma) tears up the account of our actions.<BR/><BR/>"Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, all the sins are erased. The accounts held by the Righteous Judge of Dharma are torn up."<BR/>(Ang 1348)<BR/><BR/>The Gurmukh - the Guru orientated person, who has faith in Waheguru, rises above Karma and its effects.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>Guru Rakha.Manvir Singh (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17987883036901467330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-1140202927143232002006-02-17T19:02:00.000+00:002006-02-17T19:02:00.000+00:00Mandeep Singh bhajiLets take a step back and look ...Mandeep Singh bhaji<BR/><BR/>Lets take a step back and look at Mool Mantr.<BR/><BR/>Waheguru is "nirbhau" (fearless) and "NIRVAIR" (without enmity or hatred).<BR/><BR/>Mool Mantr is a "Mangla-Charan," and invocation, which is to be used as a draw-stick (i think thats the right expression) when reading Gurbani.<BR/><BR/>God is without hatred.

In Sikhi it says u shall harvest what sow but if a Sikh due to his weakness falls weak to the five enemines inside does Guru Ji Get angry with that Sikh or does that Sikh just harvest what he has sowed due to his own weakness.<BR/><BR/>P.s confusing question I know but thank you for your time.<BR/><BR/>mandeep singhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-1140190168120763092006-02-17T15:29:00.000+00:002006-02-17T15:29:00.000+00:00truely, one word : Wahegurutruely, one word : WaheguruAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-1140187467911158942006-02-17T14:44:00.000+00:002006-02-17T14:44:00.000+00:00VAHEGUROOVAHEGUROOUttam Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845065698367132162noreply@blogger.com
