We are nobody to judge others, when we ourselves we are not complete. What, if you are told, that what you say, are your own poor limited and distorted interpretations of the pure paviter Bani of our Guru Sahibans.
What if you are told, that you are telling others about Brahmin wadi influences ....but you yourself are not less, you are much influenced mentally by those orthodox sikh brothers, who have limited the pure and high teachings of our beloved Gurus, in the square walls of rituals and dogmas...like the rest of the world we too need the support of having our own identity under the misconception of so called sikh religion as such.
Gurmat is as simple as, having Wahiguru above everything, through His simran.
What a pity, our Gurus came to wake us up from all these outer useless activities which bind us even more harder to the world and the creation, and we cling on them . Shame on us.
While our Gurus, stress on each ang of the Granth Sahib, only one pointed devotion to the only one wahiguru Akal Purukh, through Nam Bhakti.
I myself am a sinner and a very low person, but I am blessed by Him with love for Him, and at no cost I shall leave any stone unturned if I see the Bani of my Satgurus is misinterpreted or misused.
We are human beings, we should help each other without being selfish or harsh... we should talk rationally .... not by imposing.
The teachings of our Guru Sahibans as said earlier are very high, pure and simple. When Prithi Chand could not understand His Father and Brother ...who were the embodiment of Akal Purukh, by being in their company and having their darshan ... who are we then?
So you see, it is not meant for everybody to accept and understand the Bani in the correct measure... it is only by His Daya Meher that one comes to understand the Bani, not otherwise, try however hard you may.
When you read: pawan guru, panee pitah, dhartee mahat.... it does not mean that we are made of water.
First of all, water is one of the five inert and consciousless elements from which creation was made... but creation means gross matter... our souls are like rays of that primal Sun Wahiguru ... we are not the body. Though we humans have all the 5 elements present in us, namely: earth, water, fire, air and akash or ether.... so you see, we humans are not made of water alone.
Secondly, when we read pawan guru, panee pitah, dhartee mahat, means, Guru is essential like as air for us, because we can not live much without air .... in the same way witout guru we are condemed in the creation, guru gives birth to his sikh in the spiritual realm; then comes the role of father, he is like water for us, because we can not live much time witout water ...then comes the role and importance of a mother, she is like the earth, the food we get from it, is necessary to survive, but in comparison to air and water, the earth occupies the third position.... So what Guru Sahibans want to tell us is, that to live in eternity, we desesperately need the help of a Gurmukh ... He is like fresh oxygen for us, in order to continue living.
In our lives, Guru comes first in importance, He is our spiritual father and mother, as said before, He gives us birth in the spiritual planes, then comes the worldly father and then the mother, to whom we owe our woldly births. That is all, we should not try to distort the above words to adjust them to our weaknesses, in order to justify our lack of maturity in spiritual matters.
We all know how much Guru Arjun Dev Maharaj suffered, when He was sent and kept far away from His Father, means it was like being suffocated for Him, without the darshan of His Guru, Sree Guru Ram Das...
That is why He beautifully said:
Mohe rehan na aveh, mohe neend na aveh... I do not know how to survive without You; I can not sleep, nor can I stay awake
Ik gharee na miltey ta kalyug hotaa... Even a moment without You, is like dying, my Lord.
So please brothers do not get angry, be calm and read over and over the bani, and still if any doubt ask and see, if what you are told has any common sense and rationality.
Faith sholud not be blind neither based on fanatism , but rather by being balanced mentally and emotionally. And this can only happen, by doing what the Bani says: Jin Har jaapiya, se Har hoeeya... as simple as that
Sat Sree Akal
