Ik Khat Baba Nanak de naam
(A Letter to Baba Nanak)
Respected Sache Pita jee,
Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa,Waheguru Jee Ki Fateh...!!
Since so long your disciples have been inviting you to come Baba jee, but it seems that you are busy in some important work. Panth needs your guidance once again.
People have forgotten your three golden messages Work, Worship and Share. Though it is easy to worship your pictures and scriptures but following your preaching and implementing in one's life is hard thing. New granth's, fake janamsakhi's and maryada's have been developed and associated with your name. Your Ucha darh has been shadowed by fake darhs of fraudulent individuals.
You would be glad to see a lot of gurudwaras here but these have categorised as per the different caste structures. I.e. Ramgaria da gurdwara, Sindhian da gurudwara etc. Many schools, hospitals, shops etc have opened on your name but when it comes to internal account reports you would find that most of the malak bhago's are using your name for money making.
Nowadays, Gurupurabs are celebrated with full passion (Bursting crackers, Delicious Langars, Big Nagar keertans) but we are missing the real knowledge here. Though the gursikhs are keeping proper baana (kesh, daadi, kirpaana, chole, dumalle etc) to be photogenic but still they are ready to kill each other on issues like eating meat, fasting etc. Rather than following your philosophy they are happy to follow their instincts.
Materialism has taken over the spiritual life. The "Bhai" word has been replaced by the "Sant". Politics in Gurdwara's are on its peak. Guru di Golak is not for the mouth of needy but it's for the committee's personal use.
Most of the sikhs are following the useless customs in the marriage ceremonies which leads to the wastage of money. Divorce cases are increasing day by day.
Our Sikhi is facing tremendous amount of internal and external attacks and yes, the Khalsa Raj is there Sache Patshah but on the internet only.
Very few of us know that you never left us. You are still present among us in the form of One Light (Guru Granth Sahib Jee) however, we are the only ones who are showing our back to you. Every day you show us the signs (Gurbani) but we are willingly ignorant to your teachings. With your blessings hope we would be back on the True path.
Utho Gur Kay Sikho, Utho Ya Nisaro | Guru Kay Falak Par Chamktay Sitaro|
(O Sikhs of The Guru, Rise Up, You are the Bright Stars of the Guru's Sky)
Jo Gaaya tha Nanak Ne Naad Allahi, Wo Mann Mei Basakar Kul Aalam Ko Taaro|
(The Song of God which Nanak sung, Keep that in mind and redempt this world)
Yours humbly,
Pardeep Singh
