Why did Sardar Kapur Singh dislike Politicians?

Why did Sardar Kapur Singh dislike Politicians?


"KAPUR SINGH AS A FRIEND" by DR TRILOCHAN SINGH


Amongst like-minded people, Kapur Singh was always gentle and polite; amongst the learned he was always humble and eager to openly share his views; amongst friends he was always bubbling with humour and jocular outbursts, but among Akali politicians and pseudo-intellectuals he reacted as an intolerant and angry man. When I asked him the reason, he said once, “I cannot tolerate intellectual fools and political scoundrels. They pretend to know everything but know nothing about anything of importance. I have no patience with them.” Thus his impatience and intolerance became proverbial in many circles.

Respecting tradition can keep you mentally safe............

The excessive use of cannabis is forbidden in the Nihang Maryada, where only a pinch was used, to aid digestion. However some people, become Bhangars, take it on another level. They scar themselves mentally for life, and encourage other people to take ever increasing amounts of Bhang. Most people who have a high tolerance to Cannabis Sattiva use opium regularly.

Those people who take too much cannabis get erectile dysfunction, mood swings, paranoia, narcissistic symptoms, under achieve, drop out from education, lie, cheat, decieve, look for free roti, steal from the sangat, manipulate people, free loaf, and become self obssessed.......

Some of them suddenly become reformed and turn into "Gurmukhs". Where they continue to get free roti, beds, money, attention, ............
Nihangs also do Jhakta, but they do not get sick gratification from killing animals. A person who treats jhatka and degh as a game, is already dead. It is better for a person with this type of mindset to leave the Panth and detoxify their minds and bodies, or better still not enlist in the first place.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, need for admiration, extreme self-involvement, and lack of empathy for others. Individuals with this disorder are usually arrogantly self-assured and confident. They expect to be noticed as superior.

It is difficult to recognize a narcissist because he (or she) spends all of his time acting, protecting his ego by presenting to the world a false image of himself. Consequently he becomes a master of deceit. But it is extremely important to be able to recognize people whose behavior is detrimental to their organization's performance.
A narcissist is not capable of putting the organization's needs before his or her own needs.Ref
Researchers have found that a narcissist reacts much more emotionally than a non-narcissist, sometimes with "narcissistic rage" when his (or her) ego is threatened.
Because of a propensity to internalize failure, the narcissist's emotional response to failure is to feel shame, as opposed to guilt felt by people without the disorder. So in order to avoid shame, which the narcissist feels must be avoided at all costs, he externalizes blame for negative events. Ref As he feels someone must be guilty, he almost always attributes blame to others. Only when his self-esteem is particularly high, perhaps through some positive feedback he has engineered, does he accept blame, and only then if it can be seen as a magnanimous gesture.
A narcissist is someone who is overtly or subtly arrogant, exhibitionistic, vain, manipulative, and greedy for admiration. Narcissistic rage, character assassination and projection are some of the overt ways in which the narcissist expresses himself.
The denial of remorse and gratitude by the narcissist are two of the more subtle ways used to protect an internal sense of grandiosity. An example of a narcissist's ability to be subtle might be when he arrives late for a meeting. Rather than offer a sincere apology, he may blame someone else for keeping him talking, thus externalizing the fault ("It's not my fault") and maintaining his sense of grandiosity.
Despite tending to be exhibitionistic, it is very rare to hear a narcissist brag or boast. Instead, he tends to 'drop' information in the form of an ostensibly ordinary matter-of-fact report, which appears to be intended to elicit admiration without asking for it. For example, rather than say, "I was so please to meet our CEO, Peter Smith", he will casually allude to "...lunch with Peter", in a way that induces a sense of distance and inferiority in the recipient of the information; again maintaining his sense of grandiosity.

Here are a few pointers that may help you identify one:


Their lack of empathy colours everything they do. They may say, "How are you?" when you meet, but they are working from memory. They are not interested in how you are.
Virtually all of their ideas or ways of behaving in a given situation are taken from others, people they know and perhaps think of as an authority (mirroring).
Their sense of self-importance and lack of empathy means that they will often interrupt the conversations of others.
They expect others to do the day-to-day chores as they feel too important to waste their time on common things.
Listen for the constant use of "I", "me" and "my" when they talk.
They very rarely talk about their inner life, for example their memories and dreams.
They feel that the rules at work don't apply to them.
They will always cheat whenever they think they can get away with it.
If you share workload with them expect to do the lion's share yourself.
They love to delegate work or projects, then interfere by micro-managing it. If it goes well, they take the credit, if it goes badly they blame the person they delegated it to.
There tends to be higher levels of stress with people who work with or interact with a narcissist, which in turn increases absenteeism and staff turnover.
They get impatient and restless when the topic of discussion is about someone else, and not about them.

Video of Akali Sant Baba Nihal Singh Ji talking about the Rahit and Kuttha


At 3: 28 in the video of a giving the Khalsa code at an intiation, Akali Sant Baba Nihal Singh Ji clearly says "that the Kurehat is Kuttha, which has the Kalma read over it and Halal". In a very clear tone he states that, "this is a Bhajjar Kurehat for the Khalsa". This is in line with the Sikh Rahit Maryada which states that eating Jhatka meat is ok for those Sikhs that eat meat. The Sikh Rahit Maryada states the second Kurehat is:

2. Eating the meat of an animal slaughtered the Muslim way;

Being a vegetarian is a lifestyle choice, it is not a part of the Sikh Rahit Maryada. Read this article, it explains in modern terms, why the tenth Guru forbade the Sikhs to eat Halal:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2977086.stm

Akali Baba Nihal Singh Ji is one of the greatest Sikhs in modern times. He is one of a handful of Sikhs to know the Adi, Dasam and Sarbloh Granths, as well as exegesis, correct pronunciation, martial arts, shooting, and Horse riding. Baba Ji has spent his life in the service of the Panth.

However some people have manipulated the actual reality of Baba Ji's beliefs, to suit their own agendas. The panthic.org a part of the Akhand Kirtan Jatha, state in this article that:

http://www.panthic.org/news/131/ARTICLE/4518/2008-11-14.html

"There are many good Nihang Dals (groups). Missel Shaheedan Harian Vela is the one that comes to mind first. They do not consume meat, bhang, or alcohol, and their Jathedar, Baba Nihal Singh, suffered through torture after 1984. He was tied up behind a jeep and dragged, causing him much injury. This is at a time when many other so-called Nihangs were towing the government's line. The problem is not with the true Nihangs"

Conclusion: This is a deliberate distortion of truth by panthic.org.

If being a vegetarian gives us spiritual salvation. Then we should worship cows and rabbits, as by following that way of life they must be pure, as they have incurred no negative Karma. The principle held in Gurmat is that only the soap of God's name can wash away the inner darkness.

A clarification:

Bhai Sahib Sant Randhir Singh Ji was a great Sikh. I have read the Jail Chittiya, about ten times. I love the book from the bottom of my heart. Bhai Sahib was a great being, who suffered torture at the hands of the British Government. His great actions speak for themselves.

However only the God, Guru, and Gurbani are perfect. Naturally the rest of mankind is fallable. Bhai Sahib Ji was close to Babu Teja Singh, some of the practices of the AKJ reflect that relationship. The aim of this blog is to see if these practices fall in line with the Sikh Rahit Maryada. I am sorry if my blog causes offence.
