Why Doesn’t Sikh Youth Turn Toward Gurbani?

For any revolution, movement, or awakening to gain momentum and sustain across generations, it is essential that its flame burns brightly in the hearts of the youth. They must feel a yearning in their veins, a passion to carry it forward. Among Sikhs, since 1469, there has been one treasure—unique, yet universal in its embrace, that sets them apart and at the same time teaches them to be one with all: that treasure is Gurbani, enshrined solely in 
Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

Can we ever meet Nanak’s fundamental condition for becoming a Sachiar?

In any school, subjects vary in their emphasis on theory and practical application. Some subjects, such as social education and language studies, are primarily theoretical. In subjects like science, practical work typically constitutes 25-50% of the curriculum, with the remainder dedicated to theory. Conversely, in physical education, approximately 75% of the coursework involves practical activities, while the remaining portion covers theoretical aspects.

Realizing Hukum

Learned Interpreters of Gurbani are unanimous on the theory that whole of Guru Granth Sahib ji is written as an answer to one question and that question is:

ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ  ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ II – (1) Kiv Sachiara hoyea kiv koorae tuttae paal.
(How can I become a Sachiar – a God realized Being Within; how can I remove the obstacle of my non-realized state Within?)
This is a quest of every seeker who seeks to be in continuous state of Spiritual Bliss and this is eternal question that Nanak answers in a unique and a beautiful way.

In Search of Gods!

Being born in Punjab and in a Sikh Family there was one clarity in my mind since childhood that a Sikh and Sikhi doesn’t believe in Hindu Mythology’s Gods & Goddesses & their imaginative stories. But like most of the Sikhs, my understanding of Sikhi was also based on hearsay, at least till the age of 34. Never before I felt the urge to read Gurbani and Sikh history myself.
