Charanjit put up some quotations and here I have tried to explain them:-

What you have said is absolutely correct:-

>The underlying principles of Sikh faith as enshrined in the Sikh scriptures
and the lives and teachings of the Sikh gurus provide constant inspiration
and guidance to people of faith, whether they be Sikh or practice another
religion. Guru Nanak was affectionately referred to as

Nanak Shah Fakir
Hindu ka Guru, Musaiman ka pir

The above verse means:

Nanak the holy man
Is the guru of the Hindus and the spiritual teacher (pir) of the Muslims.>

That is perfect saying or proverb but do people understand this simple
saying? The answer is no as they are not Hindus. That is only Hindus could
become Sikhs and no Hindu no Sikh.

Hindu is not the one with clean shaven beard, etc but the word Hindu
originates from "HOND" or tribal identity or JAATI AUR BAASI, caste and
place of residence that establishes one's tribal or family identity. That
means Satguru Nanak Dev Ji makes disciples of Hindus only and He does not
want to know the non-hindus who conceal their tribal identities. That is, a
person who does not become of his father in flesh cannot become of his
Father in Spirit.

So, Hindus only benefit from the Preaching of Satguru Nanak Dev Ji whilst
the non-Hindus take Nanak for a Guru and think that He was a Brahmin moral
teacher, a Guru, who taught them.

Also, Nanak was a Pir of Mussallmaans of my type and not of the Mohammadans.


<Guru Nanak's house is described in the following verse:

Nanak da ghar kehra?
Jis da khula vehra.
(Which is Nanak's house?
That which has open doors and a courtyard.)

The Sikh place of worship is described as the gurdwara, the place of the
guru. It is open to all, regardless of race, religion, gender, caste or
language. Extremism is not what the Sikh faith is about. In Guru Granth
Sahib and Sikh texts, there is continued reinforcement towards leading a
balanced life, a life in which the three elements of living as a human being
come together.>

Yes. That too is absolutely TRUE. But tell me what the hell a person with
a spear is doing at the Gate of Harmandir please? Frightening the people
away or welcoming them in?

It is the same as keeping sword in front of Ad-Granth at Gurdwaras and
proclaiming that a Sikh has no enemy or stranger.

Sikhi is for the people of SURTI or spirit.

Rajinder Nijjhar Jatt,
Mussallmaan Pir Nanak Shah

Are you implying that Sikhism is closed for non-Hindus ?

Non Hindus are those who have no tribal identity i.e. people born of the prostitutes or worse are
those who conceal their tribal identity knowingly for satanic work.

So you call all Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. as "people born of prostitutes" and
indulging in "satanic work" ?
