Inner Strength - 5
In last four write ups I tried to give picture of what malady is still gripping Sikhs particularly rural folks but grave worshipping is not the only malady there are few more I would like to mention and that will help in introspection. We have a set of smart managers who are good in oration of Gurbani and attracting follower ship.Guru Gobind Singh ji had a great vision and according to his age at the time of his Jyoti -Jyot he was only in his forties. But he knew that this Society, he and 9 Gurus have tried to install on principles of Kirat Karni, wand shakna, simran has not become fully purified and there will be more people with vested interests who will try to exploit people. The superstitious beliefs were not yet eradicated from minds of people. For this reasons he laid down the code of conduct for Sikhs to be followed in future. For this reason he passed on the Guruship to Granth Sahib ji and from now onwards Shabad Guru will be the only Guru of Sikhs and we are supposed to draw all the inspiration from Gurbani because that alone will show us the path to emancipation and union with Wahe Guru. Further he stopped the tradition of daswand and masands because he knew that money corrupts and the corruption in Masands had taken deeper roots. Contrary to his dictate in the name of preaching Gurbani many Deras have come up and they have attached themselves to prominent Gurudwaras or settled their deras in prominent places.They regularly send their masands whom they call Sevadars to collect cash and kind. During harvest time one can see medium size trucks and small jeeps collecting grain from farmers. They throw big bags in farmers homes to be filled with new grains and way back they collect them. They collect lakhs of tonnes of grains this way and sell it in the market and make cash. Kirat Karni is taboo for these Dera Chiefs only smart business enterprise.
