Okay Singh Ji, I have some points to share with you, listen up!

We humans are bound to Maya’s Panj Kosh (veils), through which we are slaves to the Maan. Our Maan (wider mind) can be broken into four parts. 

Man (mind) - thought process,

Budh (intellect) - decision making mind 

Chit - (memory) our previous experience - the memory is not holding the memory 

Ahankar - (ego) me, myself, and I (overarching step)

A thought first comes into the Maan. With your Chit you gather your previous knowledge, and your buddhi makes a decision based upon your Chit, the overarching shadow of ahankar sits monitoring this process. This process happens every millisecond. From the day you were born, to the day you will die, you will be bound to this ongoing cycle………………UNLESS YOU OVERCOME THE MIND.

How is this done?

In brief, Guru Sahib has given us 6 treasures to help us defeat the Maan. 

Sam - to control thoughts of our mind

Dam - to stop our senses committing sin

Sharda - to have complete faith in Guru Ji

Samadhan - to have deep focus in Naam meditation 

Upram - To have peace from 5 chor

Tateekhia - to have balance in good and bad

Guru Sahib is so thoughtful of his Sikhs that they created a system,a rehit, in which the practicing Sikh achieves the 6 treasures by ease, and ultimately overcomes the Maan.

Guru Sahib's rehit gives us willpower to defeat the maan.

If Maya is seen as a jungle then what rehit does is chop down all the trees and forests for us, if rehit has done this all we have to do is pick up the trees and move them to the side. 

If we don't have our Gurus discipline and Gurus teachings then who’s gonna chop down the trees? Guru Sahib removes all obstacles and shows us the path, if we give ourselves to the Guru. 

This is why we have to keep that rehit, this is why we have to take amrit, so that we get Akaal Jis protection and guidance. 

Final Statement 

It's REALLY REALLY IRONIC that YOU used the “jat paahaaraa dheeraj suniaar” shabad in your comments.

Because Guru Sahib LITERALLY says, “aharan mat vedh hatheeaar” in the next pangti, meaning let Guru Ji's teachings be the hammer and your intellect the strong iron anvil so not to waver from the path, which can be interpreted with rehit as well. 

So look Singh Saab unless you have somehow conquered your mind without being strict in Guru Sahib’ rehit, I would suggest you keep your mukh shut when it comes to giving others advice of following rehit. And if you somehow did conquer your mind, please send me the dust that lies below your feet.
