LOOKING DOWN ON OTHERS!
We have heard many people say, Amritdhaaree Gursikhs (baptised Sikhs) look down on non baptised Sikhs.
If any Gursikh behaves in this way and looks down on even an animal, let alone humans, Guru Sahib ji will not be happy with them. Their mind will not find any peace and they will have to reap what they have sewn.
Guru's Sikhs, after baptism, should become very special, spiritual and virtuous people. We should all be a shining example to those who struggle to practise spirituality and we should become loving, compassionate and content human beings.
A few very vital teachings for Sikhs are very simply: Love, tolerance, patience, honesty, kindness, compassion, forgiveness and righteousness.
If we are making others feel this way, we are doing something seriously wrong. A Sikh should be going out of their way to help, guide, support, love and make others feel better about themselves. They should be a ray of light in this dark age of Kaljug. Others should look up to them for support, love and guidance but this is only because they have earned this love and respect through their honest, compassionate character and their loving, positive, ecstatic aura and energy.
A Sikh is full of humility. They see the good in all and disregard others demerits. They become the dust of all beings feet. This is the purity of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Sikhs. We need to work towards having a character and the attributes of the purest soul to have blessed this earth (Guru Gobind Singh Ji).
Some Sikhs look down on other Sikhs by thinking they are closer to Guru Ji, as they belong to a certain organisation (jathebandhee). Anyone who thinks in this way, has definitely not understood the pure and spiritual teachings of Guru Ji. This is a form of ego not humility. Guru Ji looks at all his sons and daughters as one. To earn the respect and love from Guru Ji, one has to live by Guru Ji's spiritual teachings and purify their mind through Naam and Baani. It's a personal journey and it's definitely not about which organisation we belong too.
The beauty about a Sikh is, they are very humble but if someone pushes them too far, they are righteous enough to deal with anyone under any circumstance!
The world also needs to understand, we are normal, average human beings, just like everyone else, hoping to become beautiful, spiritual, loving beings, through the perfect and pure teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. We are not perfect, we will make mistakes just like everyone else but as-long as we learn from them and rectify them, in order that we don't make the same mistakes over and over again.
If you feel Guru's Sikhs put you off taking steps towards Sikhi, for whatever reason, then take the teachings directly from Guru Ji and you will come to realise how pure, perfect and powerful this path really is! Don't let this be an excuse for your mind to fail you in life's most perfect journey.
Never speak from a place of hate, jealousy, anger or insecurity. Evaluate your words before you let them leave your lips. Sometimes it's better to be quiet!
Guru Arjun Dev Ji Says, "Hohu sabhanaa kee raenukaa tho aao hamaarai paas.
Become humble and the dust of the feet of all, and then, you may come to me to be accepted."
Vaheguroo!
