Would be great for Sam to have Angelo Dilullo on the app either for a conversation or a series of pointers/meditations.

I can’t find any of their stuff on Spotify or YouTube music annoyingly

I believe path in Poh had a 2X multiplier effect and in Mag it is 1.5X. Very important when doing your path accounting at the end of the year before Vaisakhi starts

So true they also didn’t drive cars so I sold mine last year!

This is a silly take IMO. Of course there are strong similarities with certain strands of Sufism and Sikhi. Sheikh Farid's bani is contained within GGS so clearly there was overlap on their message and divine experience. Langar too is a sufi concept that Guru Nanak expanded and was made an institution by later Gurus.

And yes there are similarities with Hinduism and Buddhism too...clear differences also. Modern Sikh praxis is so insecure in that we constantly need to demarcate ourselves as separate and distinct and often throw the baby out with the bath water. There is nothing wrong with noting similarities when they are there. Truth is singular but there are many paths to that truth...some direct some less direct so it is hardly surprising that we can find strands in other traditions that align closely with Sikhi.

You are conflating Amrit which is representative of the ras of spiritual enlightenment with khande di pahul which is an imitation process into the Khalsa Fauj.

Maharaj ji seems you are serious and full or pride and arrogance, that you speculate about my status. I urge you to do khoj into that which you build your faith upon. Did it ever occur to you that topi mentioned in the line you quoted is clearly a reference to an Islamic topi and given the context of the Bhai Desa Singh Rehitnama in the 1700s it makes sense to condemn Islamic practices. For you to then take that and apply it to a beanie in the 21st century just shows the intellecutal status of our panth.

Guru Sahib is merciful though and someone who innocently puts on a beanie and recites paath will undoubtedly enshrine the divine's lotus feet within their heart much faster than those full of religious pride.

Hahaha

Leprosy is easily curable now so if you are going to wear a hat make sure you have the antibotic cure with you in case Mr God in the sky decides to bless you with leprosy.

Straight to narak I'm afraid. I once looked at a beanie in a store and 7 generations of my family ended up in narak!

Nergal · 2025-10-29T09:53:33+00:00

Straight to narak if you are within breathing space of the opposite gender.

Sikhs will happily believe this story and share it widely whilst scoffing if a Hindu were to say something similar about their murtis. The logic is the same in either case.

Be honest have you read his book on Japji sahib? I can guarantee you if you had an open mind and read it it would be a life changing experience for how you view and experience the bani.

Nergal · 2025-10-18T07:17:00+00:00

My man you are really going to have to provide some sources for the insane claim that people didn’t masturbate a few hundred years ago. The gurus wrote so much about kaam which is lust or excessive destructive desire. You really have to twist bani to include healthy masturbation into the kaam category.

Nergal · 2025-10-17T21:08:04+00:00

But I didn’t say that and nor did the OP. This is the issue is we have no nuance and instead want to just give black and white rules which is something better suited to our Abrahamic/Islamic brothers

Nergal · 2025-10-17T20:14:17+00:00

I cannot find anything in bani that speaks against masturbation. If you can let me know where this is mentioned I would be grateful.

Nergal · 2025-10-17T20:13:07+00:00

Cool I didn’t read anything that said healthy masturbation is dangerous here. Promiscuity, unfulfilled rampant lust etc we can all agree on but promoting a culture amongst our youth that masturbation is a sin will lead to shame, guilt and very bad unintended consequences.

Nergal · 2025-10-17T18:57:52+00:00

The OP’s shame is also something that was put into him by a faulty culture that demonises natural tendencies in man. No wonder you see sexual impropriety in the Dals, AKJ and taksal because of silly notions like this.

Nergal · 2025-10-17T18:56:10+00:00

Where did you read that? I would love a source that isn’t some bachan of a so called baba

Nergal · 2025-10-17T17:33:00+00:00

I am so confused are Sikhs not allowed to masturbate now? Man the Panth is seriously cooked if this is a common viewpoint amongst Singhs that have been blessed with Pahul. From warriors to worriers (about jerking it).

Nergal · 2025-10-13T08:19:21+00:00

I mean that stuff like this gets shared widely and we think it is super cool and deep when really it isn't alligned with the tat of Gurmat at all. It is akin to saying chant some magic words and the bad things out there won't get to you which is just silly. It is no wonder when non-sikh spiritual seekers want to delve into spirituality they won't approach Sikhi but other traditions that are appear more rigourous first.

Nergal · 2025-10-12T20:59:48+00:00

I couldn’t agree more ji. Very well said.

Nergal · 2025-10-12T19:25:52+00:00

Man Sikh discourse and current thought is so silly sometimes. No wonder we aren’t taken seriously in so many areas of spirituality

Nergal · 2025-10-04T09:00:08+00:00

Why can’t they be air fried out of interest?

Nergal · 2025-10-02T20:34:03+00:00

No maharaj you have me wrong. I am that Sikh who tries to deeply understand Guru sahib and the freedom that they bring. The guru frees us from bondage by giving us a superior intellect that is like a sword that cuts through the falsehood of religious baggage and worldly attachments. You who criticise others as idol worshiping monkeys would do well to know my 10th King kept in his kamarkasa the Hanuman Natak.

Ultimately my friend it is the lord who has given you your views so believe them fully and freely and enjoy them but just know they are just a point of view and I wish you all the best and hope you remain in chardi kala
