Sword/Kirpaan: an emblem of manliness and self-respect. One of the five 'K's.
A Sikh sees AkaalPurkh in all, everywhere. He/she considers own self as dust of others feet. This vision makes him/her a Saint. Sikhs are given a DIVINE MISSION to upkeep the dignity of others. They are guardians of TRUTH AND HONOR. This makes him/her a Soldier. Kirpaan is a reminder for this aspect of Sikhi. About the use of this emblem, Guru Ji has also given very clear instructions(Jafarnaama)- one must use all the other means to solve any types of conflict before using the sword/Kirpaan.
Always remember -Sikh's practical life should be:
Sikh da mukh vi Vaheguru Bole
Sikh de chit vich vi ohee Akaalpurkh Vaheguru da vaas(one pointedness)
Sikh da vishvaas vi usi te(unshakable faith)
Sikh nimaana ban ke jeevay
Sikh is kind and generous to all
Sikh has unlimited tolerance
Sikh believes in mutual respect
Sikh believes in -justice for all...............
in all a Sikh leads a righteous way of life, while living this way let us not let the ego come in our way by any means.
Ego brings injustice.
Ego makes us unkind
Ego makes us think we are better than others
Ego brings intolerance........
Dhan Dhan Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji says in Jafarmana:
When all other means have failed,
It is but lawful to take to the sword.
just a few thoughts from me neech
humbly asking for everybody's forgiveness
