NamJap ji
The shabad can and does deliver us from our haumei. If the shabad were always in consciousness there would be no forced marriages, no child brides, no dowry killings, no little brothers being told to bludgeon their sisters to death because as minors they will receive lesser sentences in a court of law if caught, no young women being locked in the house before a wedding to a man they have never met, no men being forced into marriage, no selective abortion of girl fetuses, no purchasing of brides from Bengal because there are not enough women to go around in Punjab, no brothers pooling their money to buy one woman as the "bride" to one and making her the sexual partner of all of the others, no browbeating of women for not having sons, no NRI's keeping a wife in India and one in another country, no NRI's collecting dowries and impregnating a girl and then abandoning her. And all of this madness can be found on every continent.
NamJap ji - you are right. The world is out of touch with Universal Consciousness. The world is not walking in Dharma. If all of us understood we were the brides of Waheguru, and that we do not please Him when we are adorned in all the trappings and egotism of Maya, none of these injustices would happen.
But grave injustices are happening! And Brave Kaurs like Jasvinder Sanghera, herself a victim of the delusional thinking that Guru Nanak asked us to forsake, is living in the Shabad Guru with her own understanding of truthful living.
You know that Dharma is represented by a wheel. When the spokes of a wheel are broken then the carriage runs off the road into a ditch. That is where we are too often, in a ditch. Then along come people like Puran Singh (a man), or like Jasvinder ji (a woman), and they try to repair the wheel, to envision a world where all the broken hearts, bodies and spirits can be healed in some small way. They are trying to live the Shabad Guru, because simran is also in seva. This is a thread to honor Brave Kaurs who are using their brains to mend the wheel--right side or left side I don't know which side they are using. I am just glad they are using their brains.
Forgive me and my left brain - I am not their equal.
