Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gyani Jarnail Singh" data-source="post: 146423" data-attributes="member: 189">HA..KESH !! This had to drop in to this thread...and so i digress out of necessity..apologies in advance..Jios...Many shaven heads never forget to cite Bhagat Kabir Jis Tuks on .."..IT doesnt really matter whether one has a long matted hair..or a shaved head...BOTH dont matter in religiousity/morality...." And of course Kabir Ji is Absolutley Right. In his time ( and today as well) many SADHUS cultivated MATTED HAIR on their heads...rubbing the sap of the Boharr or Pipall tree into the scalp to make hair grow luxuriously, then matting it all up in one huge mess on the head..as a SIGN OF RELIGIOUS HOLIER THAN THOU moral HIGH GROUND !!The Second group of SIMILAR SADHUS..took the exact opposite stand...they rubbed ashes into their scalps..and PULLED OUT all hair by the roots..this group felt Holier than Thou and on High Moral Ground via their shaved shining heads !!.............Leading Kabir Ji to further ask..OH Shaven heads..WHY are you so proud of your shaved heads when you HAVE NOT SHAVED YOUR MIND/MANN..of all its evil habits/thoughts etc ?? How can shaving the ehad make one HOLY ?? and neither can keeping Goldilocks or hair that reach to the ground from the highest tower...SO YES ...IF any Amrtidharee feels he is Holier than thou/and on High Moral Ground just by keeping uncut hair/beard..he is seriously mistaken..Bhagat kabir Ji has already made that clear..LONG before 1699....The INNER GLOW of GURBANI and NAAM RASS must shine out to make any meaning out of the Kesh Kirpan Karra kachh and Kangha....or we will look and feel like donkeys wearing lion skins. Simialrly GURBANI GLOWS from within..BEFORE any external "DIET" can take effect..GURBANI MUST GLOW long before merley eating/abstaining form meat or milk can be of any use...</blockquote>
