Dera Sucha Sauda -Sikh conflict in India

[Guest]

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Did Guru Gobind Singh ji also ordained that 'Sikh = Khalsa' and 'Khalsa = Sikh'? Sikhs must be khalsa is largerly the interpretation today. However, to what I have read, Khalsa was a situational and temporary emergence to protect sikhi, under the historical situations of the times.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Let's come back to the logic... Both Sikh and Khalsa are mutually exclusive!!

Sikh means Disciple of a Guru.

Khalsa means "Sikh who has taken a vow of Khalsa to wear five things representing kaam krodh lobh moh hankaar and satt santokh sabr daya dharm to become a Saint as well as Soldier"

You can be a Sikh and not be Khalsa.
You cannot be a Khalsa without being a Sikh.

Vast majority of Sikhs are only "Keshdhari Sikhs" and are not Khalsa. Because the rahit of Khalsa is too strict to follow... it is basically an Army. Sahijdhari Sikhs are those who take Sri Guru Granth Sahib to be their Guru but not wearing any of the five symbols (Radhasoamis will be in this category since they do take SGGS as their Guru but also revere some human gurus)

Khalsa was not a temporary thing as per guru gobind Singh... an Army to protect a society will required as long as society is alive.
