In Los Angeles, many years ago, I visited a Sikh temple and my friend told me that if we were hungry we were able to eat there for free. Such a nice gesture! It was the first time that I heard about the Sikhs, and since then I admire this faith.
excellent videos with lots of good information. I saw a group of sikhs all in purple, with large swords, walking along the ganges river in India once. I never knew why they were in purple until now. they were the "beloved ones"
Brilliant video, especially at a time where ignorant folk are slandering this great path A humble correction: Sikhi does actually believe in heaven and hell also (as per Guru Granth Sahib Ji) but they are temporary places not eternal like how Abrahamical faiths preach, the soul then undergoes rebirth according to it's karma, for a Sikh the material heavens and hells bare little significance as the Guru has set our aim as eternal union with the beloved which is beyond the material creation and realms.
“Kavan nark kya surg bichara santan dou raade “ Granth openly rejects the mythical heaven and hell One lives in suffering and rebirth is the hell and one tuned with god is in heaven
@@soothingandrelaxingmusic489 read the whole shabad especially few lines before the one you quoted my brother. The meaning is simple, hell and heaven exist but for the saints they reject them i.e they do not strive for temporary materialistic heaven nor do they fear hell because they attuned to one creator lord and as the same shabad goes on to explain they strive to merge with the Creator Lord ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੋ ਮੇਰੁ ਪਰਬਤੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਓਟ ਗਹੀ ਮੈ ਤੇਰੀ ॥ You are my Sumayr Mountain, O my Lord and Master; I have grasped Your Support. ਨਾ ਤੁਮ ਡੋਲਹੁ ਨਾ ਹਮ ਗਿਰਤੇ ਰਖਿ ਲੀਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਰੀ ॥੧॥ You do not shake, and I do not fall. You have preserved my honor. ||1|| ਅਬ ਤਬ ਜਬ ਕਬ ਤੁਹੀ ਤੁਹੀ ॥ Now and then, here and there, You, only You. ਹਮ ਤੁਅ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਸੁਖੀ ਸਦ ਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ By Your Grace, I am forever in peace. ||1||Pause|| ਤੋਰੇ ਭਰੋਸੇ ਮਗਹਰ ਬਸਿਓ ਮੇਰੇ ਤਨ ਕੀ ਤਪਤਿ ਬੁਝਾਈ ॥ Relying upon You, I can live even in the cursed place of Magahar; You have put out the fire of my body. ਪਹਿਲੇ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਮਗਹਰ ਪਾਇਓ ਫੁਨਿ ਕਾਸੀ ਬਸੇ ਆਈ ॥੨॥ First, I obtained the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan in Magahar; then, I came to dwell at Benares. ||2|| ਜੈਸਾ ਮਗਹਰੁ ਤੈਸੀ ਕਾਸੀ ਹਮ ਏਕੈ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨੀ ॥ As is Magahar, so is Benares; I see them as one and the same. ਹਮ ਨਿਰਧਨ ਜਿਉ ਇਹੁ ਧਨੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਮਰਤੇ ਫੂਟਿ ਗੁਮਾਨੀ ॥੩॥ I am poor, but I have obtained this wealth of the Lord; the proud are bursting with pride, and die. ||3|| ਕਰੈ ਗੁਮਾਨੁ ਚੁਭਹਿ ਤਿਸੁ ਸੂਲਾ ਕੋ ਕਾਢਨ ਕਉ ਨਾਹੀ ॥ One who takes pride in himself is stuck with thorns; no one can pull them out. ਅਜੈ ਸੁ ਚੋਭ ਕਉ ਬਿਲਲ ਬਿਲਾਤੇ ਨਰਕੇ ਘੋਰ ਪਚਾਹੀ ॥੪॥ Here, he cries bitterly, and hereafter, he burns in the most hideous hell. ||4|| ਕਵਨੁ ਨਰਕੁ ਕਿਆ ਸੁਰਗੁ ਬਿਚਾਰਾ ਸੰਤਨ ਦੋਊ ਰਾਦੇ ॥ What is hell, and what is heaven? The Saints reject them both. ਹਮ ਕਾਹੂ ਕੀ ਕਾਣਿ ਨ ਕਢਤੇ ਅਪਨੇ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੇ ॥੫॥ I have no obligation to either of them, by the Grace of my Guru. ||5|| ਅਬ ਤਉ ਜਾਇ ਚਢੇ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਨਿ ਮਿਲੇ ਹੈ ਸਾਰਿੰਗਪਾਨੀ ॥ Now, I have mounted to the throne of the Lord; I have met the Lord, the Sustainer of the World. ਰਾਮ ਕਬੀਰਾ ਏਕ ਭਏ ਹੈ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਪਛਾਨੀ ॥੬॥੩॥ The Lord and Kabeer have become one. No one can tell them apart. ||6||3||
@@soothingandrelaxingmusic489 thank you for opening this dialogue, now let us discuss The whole shabad is pasted below of the lines you quoted brother. This shabad actually confirms the existence of heavens and hells. You can see in the few line below that hell is clearly mentioned, so why to the saints reject the hells and heavens, it's because the last few lines of the shabad explain why, the saints do not aim for temporary materialistic heavens nor do they fear hells because they at eon the path to merging with the Creator lord instead! ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੋ ਮੇਰੁ ਪਰਬਤੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਓਟ ਗਹੀ ਮੈ ਤੇਰੀ ॥ You are my Sumayr Mountain, O my Lord and Master; I have grasped Your Support. ਨਾ ਤੁਮ ਡੋਲਹੁ ਨਾ ਹਮ ਗਿਰਤੇ ਰਖਿ ਲੀਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਰੀ ॥੧॥ You do not shake, and I do not fall.

Also, ਫਰੀਦਾ ਮਉਤੈ ਦਾ ਬੰਨਾ ਏਵੈ ਦਿਸੈ ਜਿਉ ਦਰੀਆਵੈ ਢਾਹਾ ॥ Fareed, the shore of death looks like the river-bank, being eroded away. ਅਗੈ ਦੋਜਕੁ ਤਪਿਆ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਹੂਲ ਪਵੈ ਕਾਹਾਹਾ ॥ Beyond is the burning hell, from which cries and shrieks are heard. ਇਕਨਾ ਨੋ ਸਭ ਸੋਝੀ ਆਈ ਇਕਿ ਫਿਰਦੇ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹਾ ॥ Some understand this completely, while others wander around carelessly. ਅਮਲ ਜਿ ਕੀਤਿਆ ਦੁਨੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਸੇ ਦਰਗਹ ਓਗਾਹਾ ॥੯੮॥ Those actions which are done in this world, shall be examined in the Court of the Lord. ||98||
@@user-hj3eo7xc5w so you mean granth has contractions?? When we have to explain to someone we explain in there language how they understand the line i quoted simply rejects the mythical concepts that others think to be true
I think saying all suffering is simply ‘ego’ is such a useless nothing of a statement. All bliss is also ego if all suffering is ego. All suffering is not ego and all bliss is not cessation of ego. Clearly all good comes from ego as life itself would be impossible without one. Competition to be the first to achieve enlightenment or spiritual awareness even largely creating all religions. In that sense suffering must be good on some level.
