Kabeer, what can the True Guru do, when His Sikhs are at fault?
andhae eaek n laagee jio baas bujaaeeai fook
The blind do not take in any of His Teachings; it is as useless as blowing into bamboo. ||158||
Limb 1372, Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
How can we call ourselves sikhs is we dont wake up in the early hours to meditate? (link - click me for more info)
How can we call ourselves sikhs if we lie/cheat/steal or make another person unhappy?
A wise man once told me, Sikh's are like the farmer who has a candle and goes into the field at night but yet he still falls into the well. Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the candle, the well is this world/maya - an illusion.....
Ksmu ivswir kIey rs Bog ]
khusum visaar keeeae rus bhog
Forgetting his Lord and Master, the mortal enjoys sensual pleasures;
thaa than outh khuloeae rog
then, disease rises up in his body.
mun andhae ko milai sujaae
The blind mortal receives his punishment.
vaidh n bholae dhaaroo laae
O foolish doctor, don't give me medicine. ||2||
Limb 1256, Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist!
[Devils Advocate]
In the same way the greatest test of God is asking us to put our faith into him when he never shows Himself, however his creation oozes a creators touch - next time your out, look at the tree's dancing in the wind or the water falling from the sky, God is ever present - all we need to do it open our eyes!
oh vaykhai onaa nadar na aavai bahutaa ayhu vidaan.
He watches over all, but none see Him. How wonderful this is!
Siri Japji Sahib (First Daily Prayer of the Sikhs)

narrow definition of a sikh. cutting the hair is needless cultural ritual and for vanity, in sikhi hair is kept because we should not change ourselves. BUT remember that even some of the authors of the guru granth sahib cut their hair! were they not sikhs?
