      @@LuciusDragonwolf A hardcopy would require a level of Satkaar (respect) to do Prakash, Sukhaasan, have a special room etc and be able to look after Guru Ji in this way. It is perhaps advised that you read from a digital copy or an app like iGurbani/Sikhitothemax, or if possible get help at the Gurdwara to read from a Saroop (form of Guru Granth Sahib Ji) there.

      I will be honest with you. If you havent been accepted by them yet. You wont later, with exceptions ofcourse. I have experienced this first hand. And the fact of the matter is cause they themselves dont know much about sikhi to be educating you. Thats why charities ike Basics of Sikhi are set up so people can arm themselves with knoweldge and others as well.

    Majority of sikhs think to become a sikh you start from the outside, ie the 5 k’s. Thats like putting on a karate outfit thinking you’re a master of karate.
    To me, sikhi starts from within. Its starts from changing your mindset. You can’t just take amrit and think you’re going to change your life. The internal must change before the external.
    The day I become a king within my self is the day i start to wear a dastaar. If I wear it before that, I’ll be doing myself and my ancestors injustice and I’ll end up having a religious ego like the majority of sikhs 🙏💚

    • @ravtejsingh4402
      @ravtejsingh4402 3 роки тому +6

      Changing your mindset is a very hard thing to accomplish. However, it requires discipline and many people find that by adapting the 5k's. This isn't like the 1800s where if you wanted to become a Khalsa, you would have to join the Budha dal, and you would only be given Amrit after they deemed you cleaned your mind of the filth that is the 5 chor of 5 vices. It's 2021 and Amrit is given out like candy.
      No one is perfect and it's just two sides of the coin. Some choose to adopt internally, while others externally. Your view on the matter is very naive because what you think works for you might not work for others. You are entitled to your opinion and that's that. And this religious ego you talk about, while there are people who choose to be controlled by the ego, there are also those who don't. It's your prerogative if you choose to not see the light and see negativity in its stead.

    I'm a follower of Advaita Vedanta but Sikhi really resonates to me. Within Advaita Vedanta the realisation (Mukthi/Moksha) of Ishvara (I see Satguru and Ishvara as the same) is primarily through Jnana Marga and not so much through Bhakti/Bagthi Marga. My first question is, on how Sikhi makes the distinction between Devotion and Blind Faith? And my second is, can a Sikh achieve Mukthi/ Moksha through Jnana Marga?
    Thank you in advance!!!!!

    • @anon21qwerty17
      @anon21qwerty17 2 роки тому

      i had to google jnana marg.basically it is knowledge through which people attain moksha. correct me if i am wrong.
      devotion and blind faith--- if you are doing meditation, there is no such thing as blind faith. the stages a soul goes through in meditation are felt physically and all these are described in guru granth sahibji.
      so the question of blind faith does not arise. as for devotion, in worldly terms, devotion= blind faith. but in meditation, what we can see can not be unseen. and gurbani talks of naam(word of GOD), which is present in every human being, but appears after you have done enough bhakti.
      sikh achieving mukti through jnana/ knowledge marg-----
      gurbani says padh padh vekhe bahut vikaar, je tan bani visar jaaye, jeo rogi pakka billahe. meaning---you can read many spiritual books and achieve wisdom, but it leads to nothing at best or arrogance at worst.
      if you are devoid of tan ki baani(again naam/word of GOD,which comes through meditation only), you are like a diseased/rogi person suffering in pain.
