Inner Strength - 4
Baba Shekhpataji is a grave of a Muslim near Jandiala Guru off Jallundhar Amritsar Highway. The belief from this grave is spread that when cow or buffalo starts giving milk you make an offering of Kheer made from that cow or buffalo' s milk at this grave so that it gives milk for longer period and remains healthy during its milking season. Hoards of farmers come to make offerings from all over Punjab. The overflow of Kheer is so much that even the dogs in the area refuse to eat kheer. This blind faith in such boon is so nonsensical that the rational thinking stops totally. What a cow or buffalo needs is proper feed and healthy living area, love and care. The prosperity that a dairy can bring is not by this boon but a proper dairy management but the superstitious believes make a healthy mind stump. There is no lack of education in Punjab but we have stopped thinking rationally and analytically. The hoard mentality needs to be tackled genuinely with a greater understanding to dissipate the fears that create to originate such fears. Sikh intellectuals and university professors should make more interactions with farmers and discuss the matter with gurbani quotes.
