- Is keeping long hair essential for meditation or is it an outdated practice?

I'm not a Sikh, but I don't cut my hair, I respect my hair and cure them. My hair are most important for me. Thanks for this videos and this beautiful explanations of Sikh religion and philosophy. Thank you Nanak Naam!Sat Naam!
Tobias, the fact that you dont cut your hair...is God's natural form and you are his image of Woman...well done...
🙏
👍👍
em jay jesus wasn’t a woman
Tobias Fior I respect your opinion.
I am not Sikh but I understand this by living and working with Sikhs ..... Being Sikh is about good actions and living a good life . They are great people and the world would be a better place with a lot more Sikhs in it . If a man wants to grow his hair , grow a beard , wear a turban , thats just fine by me . I believe with his hair shaved off he will still be a good man , a great man even .
Yes I agree with you.
Sadly his community will not allow him to do public lectures anymore if he shaves his hair.
@@harmansuperstar2789 Is there even one lecturer of Sikhi who has cut hair?
@@Linesofjoy Sikh means sikhnaaa in Punjabi language and in English language it means (learn) every student is Sikh of his master. True saint is my master and I m a Sikh of my master.
@@Linesofjoy is there any scripture in shri guru granth sahib ji?? That we should not cut our hairs???
I am Native American, 26 years old, and I just befriended a Sikh. His name is Baljeet.
I grew up in Southern America (Mississippi) so I was always taught to stay away from people in turban/anybody with different skin color. I KNOW that way of thinking is wrong, it never felt right to judge anyone because of their outer appearance..
I am older now, I lead my own life. I understand different religions and I do my research. I connected with the Divine Spirit through meditation. I would kneel down on the ground and beg for forgiveness and for the Divine to watch over me and lead me away from negativity.
For a long time I listened to my ego...I cared too much about what people thought, I thought I would always be lonely because no one else I knew listened to the Divine. But now...my Sikh friend came into my life and opened my eyes. I am learning more about Sikh religion in a very tough time of my life and now everything makes sense...I am grateful for this religion. I WISH I would have been introduced to it sooner but I know everything happens at the time it is suppose to happen.
Now I do not feel so alone and I am never cutting my hair again 😂 💕
Thank you for this video.
Hope you get through this tough time of yours! If you need anyone to talk to we are all here for you! My IG is @prabjotmatta 💯💯
Har Har shall bless you greatly on your journey.
Hello brother, I have also done research on religions, Have researched about Islam?
abdussamiy mbuvi Islam is nice but jihad bad
I’m from Mississippi. Small southern town
I am blessed to be born in a sikh family. I hope one day to take amrit and become a child of my
Guru . Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. May God guide me to the truth God bless all
Hope not. Do Your own research! This is tuned into a religion. Guru wanted different.
I have a question 🥺❤️ Do shikhs ever cut their hair.? please answer 🥺
@@ZENOTH_HERE no!
I'm a sikh : rather than focusing on superficial hair and nails shouldn't we focus on whats inside our hearts and how good we are as people?
i think that if one cuts their hair and beard for practical reasons
i.e. their job requires it then it should not be looked down by other sikhs
but if one cuts their beard and hair for style or vanity then i dont agree
what do you think ?
SAT SRI AKAL I am a sikh boy...I am a registered nurse in canada and I had to cut my hair...coz it’s tought to wear stethoscope 200 times a day and hospitals weren’t giving me a job in turban
@@arunveergrewal4346 People gave their lives, they sacrificed their entire family and you sold your religion for just a job???
Debayan Basu So what should I exactly do? I respect people gave their family for it ..but it was centuries ago..should I just allow my family to starve..should I give up my job and become homeless nd sit on road...be at my position sir...it’s tough
Arunveer Grewal everything is alright but guru nanak ji would have decided something for you that will happen in future maybe they have decided a better job than doctor but you just sold him for your job.Its very sad to hear brother!i hope god bless you but god will take every revenge of what you’ve done and what you are doing🙏
You have a very soothing voice and persona.God bless you.
I'm not Sikh but I'm so much in wisdom of sikhism🙏❤
I am Hindu and do not cut my hair either. I see many spiritual & religious reasons not to. Thank you 🙏
Good ur so much better than, who claimed that they are sikhs... but cutting his/ her hair and doing evil things... may waheguru bless u...
Appreciate this. Are you able to bullet why and what spiritual reasons for you growing your hair? Vaheguruji ❤️

The Buddha shaved his head...there is nothing spiritual in having Hair OR having no Hair You can be spiritual without Hair! Bless
Im a Sikh and I cut my hair. But one thing I dont try to do is try to justify my ego of not wanting to let my hair grow out and make excuses for it stating that “Oh I cut my hair but im a nice guy”. Yes you can be a better person than someone who doesn’t cut their hair but the point of the matter is that you still have an ego attached to ur mindset that doesn’t allow you to grow out your hair, which is ultimately a flaw.
One who cut his/ her hair is not a sikh.. we don't want fake people in our religion.
@@dildeep01 Did you even read anything he said? He is acknowledging that he doesnt follow the religion completely. Please read before commenting.
@@dildeep01 If thats what you think - then you're a fool - simple. What a Sikh is clearly defined in Guru Grath Sahib!
Also, for those of you who are continually going on with the "we keep kesh to respect God's creation", well, in that case - why wear clothes, Waheguru didn't send us in these.
Guru Gobind Singh told the "Khalsa" to keep kesh as a sign of saintliness, but what a saint is - is clearly defined in Gurbani, therfore simply keeping 5 ks without studying and following Gurbani is like wearing an army uniform without any military training.
@@dildeep01 you sound like extreme muslims who wanted to kill open ideas, such as Gurus.
@@indrajeet you're right in saying that a sikh should understand scripture as well as following rehat, which is why santhiya is so important but wrong in saying that kes are just "a sign of saintliness" they're necessary in helping us during meditation and if Guru Gobing Singh Ji Maharaj himself has ordered all sikhs to keep their kes, then it shouldn't even be something that needs speculation if you're a sikh. If you do disregard this however, for whatever reason, you either think that you know more about god that god himself or you don't believe that guru gobind singh ji was God in the flesh, in which case you're simply not a sikh, and there's nothing wrong with that. You can talk about anything you want about cutting your hair and eating meat if you're not a sikh, the problem arises if people start suggesting that sikhism doesnt rlly say x or y when they know little to nothing in the first place.
Very informative, and a great way to help young Sikhs understand their roots 😊🙏
The best and most crisp answer to this question I've come across so far.
Prayers have nothing to do with outer objectives. Prayers are done from the heart and soul. Waheguru.
But Hair are important for Sikhs. We don't keep hair, they grow by themselves , people just cut their hair. Guru Gobind Singh ji has made it compulsory for Sikhs to not to murder hair 😊
Hukam Razayi chalna Nanak likheya naal 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very well explained Veer ji ,
Very Well Explained. WaheGuru Ji Ki Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fathey.
You explain in such a nice way to make all of us understand and avoid discrimination and hate to each other . You are such a excellent teacher bhai .
someone could be wearing a turban and following all the 5k's, but then also completely disregarding the teachings of the guru's. Sikhi focuses on the internal well being and then external. I do however respect whether u chose either, because with a turban or not, sikhism is about internally understanding the lessons given by our guru's.
Waheguru🙏
I'm sorry to say but i think You didn't get his point. It's about loving your body as it is, without worrying about what others think if you don't change this. If you cut your hair simply because you think you don't look good, that's a problem.
If you internally understand the sikhi then automatically will resulted in your external looks
A tad bit idealistic, it is one thing to agree from a sikh perspective that anyone could be a good person and express the importance of humility by understanding the passages of the likes of bhagat kabir ji who had this mentality of never thinking of anyone as being below you as it gives birth to haumai but to state that sikhism is all about "internal issues" is just not true and comes off as an attempt to say that no matter if you commit bujjar kurehats by eating meat, or cutting your hair, you can still be a good sikh, which simply isn't true. The standards for the title of "True Sikh" as maharaj describes are much more strict than simply someone who has taken amrit, but even by a sikh societal standard, you have to at least be someone that has taken amrit and follows rehat properly to even have the right to call yourself a sikh at all. Sikhism is about being a gurmukh through and through, and cherrypicking what you want to follow and leaving out what you find inconvenient while claiming vague things like "sikhism is about the inside, as long as a person's heart is clean.." etc isn't what sikhism is about, it's what being a manmukh is about.
@@Bwahahaaa what if someone loves himself/herself without external appearance according to sikhi? What if someone is loving himself or herself with hair cut?
@@sahejkaur17 who am i to judge? I wrote my interpretation of what the video was about. I did not state what's right or wrong.
Indeed. Kesh is the perfect symbol to represent miri-piri; asceticism and regalism. We keep our hair as a sign of respect for our Guru's natural gift, and we take care of it with kanga
It doesn't represent anything in most countries other than looking like a Muslim, lol. This is not my opinion, this is most people's opinion. If your argument is that the turban represents something, then it should actually be seen that way by the public. But it is not!
Tony Roy if you were intelligent and not ignorant you’d notice the difference between a talibaan and Sikh
@@-whackd nope, that's just ignorance.
What about rest 3 K's
Are you allowed to carry Kirpan in public place or plane ??????.......Hippocratic
This really resonated with me.
I think it’s not the way we look it’s the way we are inside!
But if we could represent the way we are inside outside? This is basically one of Sikhisims teaching that show your true self.
Kam D21 .... inside cannot hold without outside
Ur outside is careying everything i side
Awesome.. Explained so well 😇

It’s all about the internal actions not external looks. What’s the point in someone having turban & bears but their actions are bad such as talking about others, bad behaviours etc. So it’s irrespective of looks but actions of a person
I completely agree with you, many angry people in this comments section claiming if you cut your hair you can't call yourself a Sikh. Absolute disgrace to the Sikh religion, instead of focusing on actions they are more obsessed with looks. Now for anyone reading this, don't get me wrong here, keeping your hair is an important part of Sikhi but if your actions are terrible there is no point of it. Trying to discourage people from Sikhi is just horrible.
Sherguson Extra
External looks also measures of internal actions. If you know you know.
@@AmanSingh-se6dx I know many Sikhs who don't grow their hair who are much better and more religious than those who do.

So god gave me hairs ok i wont cut them now god gave nails too should i also not cut those ???
@Vicky Sandhu i like your thoughts and i want to tell you that i am 17 years old
In my school other children make fun of my beard because it is very patchy and uneven growth which makes me think why not get rid of it but i never do that because my father never allowed me
I want you to help me
It will be appreciated if you could tell me any of your social media account please

To all who are questioning the reasoning by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, I request you to atleast take the effort to read and understand Guru Granth Saheb ji, the one who really is looking for answers to the qus, I'm sure will go on this journey of understanding and finding answers in Guru Granth Saheb Ji and those who are here just to back fire, may God bless you. 🙏

Very interesting, usually people ask this question about hair and your answer is spot on.
But I have another question, if we let out be as it is or let it grow. Don't cut the hair why do we cut the nails. Isn't something should be let along and grow as well.
Your thoughts please
Here i got answer for u , we only cut dead nail so it doesn’t hurt , when sometime we cut our nail more what it need to be cut it hurts. So we only cut dead nail and same thing happens with hair as well, when we comb dead hair comes out . So we or our need to get rid of those things which need to be removed
Dead part of nails cant come off on their own like hair .
@@harryaulakh3521 No, sir! Ask any dermatologist and he will you that just like nails, our hairs can also be considered dead. You can basically consider any body part as dead as long as you don't feel pain cutting it.
Kabir sahib in his bani said.long hair or gardh shaved head.makes no difference in your bhakti.nam Japan and guru da dhayan is important.as I understood gur bani.
If someone doesn't want to keep hairs, he or she has endless excuses like migraines, sinus headache, dandruff, etc. More important is practicing what your guru has ordered you.
By the way, Kabir Sahab also had long hairs.
Rajinder Dhammi Is going through bullying nd racism is an excuse as well?
Arunveer Grewal yes, you are not the first or the last one tow have hair among non Indians. Some of us went through it when there weren’t hardly any Sikhs around North Americans Schools
@@arunveergrewal4346 our gurus also went through bullying by mughals . Don't forget that ?
You can understand gurbani, yes. But can you regard the nature's way of how you were created and stay that way? Thats what matters buddy.

I'm a Sikh. I cut my hair and I pray. It's a choice I made early in my life. I don't regret it, it was just something that worked for me. I agree with most comments here that it's not about the aesthetics but about being a good person and living a righteous life and to help others

The people who are saying that unshorn hair is not a requirement of being a Sikh are not arguing with the person in the video , they are arguing with the Guru. They should remember this fact.
The Guru said that his Sikh should accept the will of the Lord and remain natural , if you don't agree with what your Guru says how can you call yourself a Sikh ?
Harsimran Singh Bir, perhaps we misunderstood what is meant by natural. We mow our lawns, we weed our crops, we cook our food. Why do all that, just remain natural. You see how we cherry pick being natural as just applying to hair. Please don’t confuse tradition of keeping hair as requirement. The requirement only applies to Khalsa as it is specifically stated, the rest is just conjecture.
@@Bluelu69 very well said!
Yvng_ Jeet keeping kesh doesn’t make anyone more or less of a Sikh. We need to move on from 17th century traditions if we want to. Guru is always inside us no matter what.
@@Bluelu69 A Sikh is one who loves every word uttered by his Guru and tries to follow the teachings of the Guru to his fullest.
I'm not saying you to keep kesh. It was Guru who said that. If you don't respect the Guru's saying, what even makes you a Sikh in the first place?
Harsimran Singh keeping kesh is easy. It is being a Sikh inside that is hard. I wonder people who speak the loudest about kesh really have the Guru in their hearts or just a big ego because they keep outward appearance.
thank you very much
Beautifully said
I’m a Sikh too
I’ve kept my hair
I wear my turban everyday
I do path also
Only now I’ve started to question
If I am supposed to live by the hukum then why wear a turban over my head
Why cut my nails
Why brush my teeth?
The other day I was listening to a keertan
Named ‘Galli jog na howaei ‘
And I realised that Guru tells the shaving of head keeping a beard and shaving Moustache or keeping them brings you closer to god .
But I did like your explanation of the HUKUM
🙏
These are just curious questions
About the one thing I've been following for 20 years now
I don't doubt them
But I just ask WHY ?
@@sangeetbhatia5994 no it doesnt??? I read the whole shabad and it specifically states that shaving ypur head is NOT going to bring you closer to god. The entire verse is about how pointless rituals will not make you closer to god. Idk who mistranslated that to you but i highly suggest you go read the actual translations.
@@sangeetbhatia5994 also the point of the shabad isnt to state that you should cut your hair, or not cut it, its to state that the only way to god is to meditate on his name. I find it interesting that you cite this but completely ignore the hukams laid out by guru gobind singh ji maharaj.
When someone does tappasya and gains tappo bal, hair is necessary to retain that tappo bal or else it is lost... Thats why rishis, maha rishis all had long beard and hair....
Haha ha what a practical man

@@JasbirSingh-wi8sr your comment doesn't make any sense...
@@debayanbasu8964 are you having all these??
You are right. Sant Maskeen Singh ji also affirm the same. Kesh have their own importance in bhakti marg.
It all depends on which part of the hair you’re referring to. The part of the hair found inside the hair follicle is alive. The shaft of the hair (visible part) doesn’t have any biochemical activity in it and according to dermatologists, is considered dead. The visible parts of your hair contains dead keratinised cells. Can you clarify...

Based on the cocept of "letting your body go" why is nothing said about cutting nails? I am curious to hear your explanation.
Back in olden days everybody would work with hand and feet in the farmlands. While they work hard in farmlands their nails will automatically get cut. Those times there were no machines, everything was done by hands.
Now a days they need nailcutter to cut their nails because of everything is taken by machines itself.

I have a lot of respect of Hinduism and Sikhism and they are both rooted on the same land. different people are just leaving in different ways be Hindu or Sikh. Whats more important is how Humane one is... I agree all the gurus, rishis all grew and do have long hair.
I feel very clean and hygienic with properly cut hair...
very nicely explained. i'm hindu and wish dharma to prevail on this planet.
dark christian forces have taken over too much.
i too have noticed that all hindu rishis are depicted and describes with long hair. after reaching enlightenment they did not cut their hair.

Goid answer man!
Love you veerji
Also, you don't become a Sikh by being born and raised in a Sikh family, you become a Sikh when you practice the Guru's Hukam. Sikh literally means the person who follows the Guru's hukam and so Sikh is a definition of such person and not of a religion. Any one of any caste who practices and follows the hukam of his religion is a Sikh.
Then all the Punjabis living in western countries are fake Sikhs?
Wow this totally makes sense. Guru Nanak Dev Ji didn't come to start a new religion but to get people out of useless religious practices and connect them to naam Simran

@@harkamalpreetsinghWW3 hey, sikh living in a western country here and i can confirm that all the cultural punjabis who drink, eat meat, cut their beards, and even cohabit with people other than their wives not sikhs.

@@Chepperz I bet they're not even 15-20% of the total Sikh population
Like every other body part ...Hair also have important function that is connecting us with source energy, god,positivity etc whatever you say...But maintaining kesh are as important as other body parts...To fully understand this concept person need to do research on spirituality ,metaphysics etc more than Religion....Hairs are tools to trap the divine energy and whenever needed by thE body for healing, that(traped energy) energy is transmuted to the affected place and heals the affected area of our body.....Like battery holds electricity ,, Hairs holds divinity...🙏🙏🙏
Waheguru Ji 🙏
beautiful
Answer to the question is yes you can pray even if you cut your air
Nooo
First of all, Thank you for your wonderful teachings. I am still not sure about the hair thing. Why don't you see nails in the same way? I guess, for practical reasons. I see hair a bit in the same way. I don't mind wear a turban, but I would still want to have short hair underneath because it feels better. No one needs to see it. Anyway, I do respect your look and I find you attractive in your way but not completely convinced in the spiritual side of it.
We only cut the extra dead nails and if u cut the whole nail, it will bleed...Similarly, when we comb the hair, dead hairs get taken off. So cutting nails are like combing hairs. 🙏
Hi , nails have a very low cross sectional area but not in the case of hair . when you cut your hair they go into healing mode which affects your body nutrient value because your hair will try to achieve the desired length.
Growing Hair or nails is inviting bacteria in body.......it is really not practical. Its like you are in war and hiding in jungle with no resources.
@Sandy issar - Why don't you go bald .? You don't even know what you are talking about . Have you ever studied science ?. Please don't say dumb things over here . The bacteria you are talking about can grow on any length of hair whether short or long . Sikhs cut nails .
If you are talking about being practical then answer my question why do people worship idols ?? What is so scientific in it ?
@@13pinkrosethen you are also doing the same thing, bowing to your holy book and doing all rituals like an Ideol.
thanks 🙏
Exactly what I observed
Their is a big misconception that external things such as hair, beards, Turbans, 5k's, are a requirement to be a Sikh, this cannot be further from the truth. Sikhi focuses on the internal first, then the external.
to be a Sikh u should follow gurugrant sahib ji and it's written there to not cut hair
khalsa mero roop h khaas khalsa de vich karu m nivaas
guru gobind Singh maharaj said that he will give a unique appearance to their khalsa so they can recognize among thousands of people
Thousands of people? there is only one - EK ONG KAR
Be Happy, external appearance isn't a requirement in order to be a Sikh. The definition of a Sikh under the Sikh Rehat Maryada is anyone who faithfully believes in
1. One God
2. The 10 Human Gurus & Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
3. All the writings/teachings of the Guru
4. Does not identify with any other faith
It says nothing about keeping hair or a turban. If we apply those strict rules you're talking about in the definition of a Sikh, then all of a sudden most Sikhs won't even be classified as Sikhs anymore.
The Turbanator who faithfully believe in guru teaching is a Sikh according to u that's totally right brother
it's clear written in gurugrant that a Sikh is not allowed to cut hair and Wear cap so v should take care of this to ...
we all are cheating ourselves by saying that sikhi is inside us v don't need to keep hair and all to be a Sikh from inside is much tougher to be a Sikh from outside
so 1st start from easy 1 and guru will help u achieve d 2nd
it's my opinion no more argument
waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji k fateh
Be Happy, Believing and Practicing are two different things. Using you're logic, only fully practicing Amritdhari Khalsa are Sikhs. The Sikh Rehat Maryada is written in a way to allow non Amritdharis to also call themselves Sikh.
People grow their hairs and do sinns. What you will call them??
hey real sikh never cut his hair... u r doing sin and to back this u r giving reference of shri guru Granth sahib.. u r devil.. guru gobind singh said mainu rehat payari sikh nahi.. idiot.. we don't want fake people in our religion..

Fair point
Waheguru ji.
I have always been, am, and always will be a Kes-dhari Sikh. I had a very hard childhood and often wished I had cut my hair; things have happened to me which I would not wish on anyone.
But I am now glad that I have always been Kes-dhari and have never tried to hide that I am a Sikh. Because I have lived through the toughest times as a Kes-dhari and now Anmrit-dhari Sikh, I am intellectually independent, mentally tougher, more emotionally mature, and more open-minded.
I have had your discussion with numerous Sikhs without Kes. I told them that I understood that many career and personal paths would be closed to me because I am Anmrit-dhari -- and I accepted the prices I have paid and will pay were sometimes very high. They have more professional success than I ever will have, yet they all said they envied me.
Think about that.
Wahe Guruji ki fateh bregro
My hair is like flowering by god.I love my hairs

I’m afraid this sounds like a very shallow argument for long hair!
It has nothing to do with maintaining ancient Indian/ Hindu Tradition
In fact the whole effort of Nanak and the following Gurus was to tell them to stop blindly following tradition... on the bank of the Ganges Nanak tried to splash water in the direction of his fields rather than follow the blind Hindu Ritual/ Tradition of trying to splash water towards their dead ancestors in the celestial world !!
It was to tell them to break blind traditions and realise the folly of their superstition
Again he has no idea of who and what the Buddha did, or taught or wore!
In the times when all Mystics and spiritual seekers grew long threaded hair ( the Jattadaris) and smeared their faces with ashes etc, Buddha deliberately shaved his head and refused to smear his face with ash ... this was to tell the people that the outward dress and appearance has little with the inside journey ...
both Nanak and the Buddha were reformers and had to get the people out of their blind superstition and beliefs .
My understanding of why the Sikh was made to wear a turban/ long hair ?
Because the Guru ( Gobind) wanted the Sikh to wear a dress and be seen as a Sikh from far... to stand out bravely , courageously and be ready to be seen and identified by the enemy
To tell the enemy
“ here I am ... dressed as a Sikh... kesh and kirpan and Kada ... I’m not hiding from you ... I’m not scared of you ... “
it was to send a message to the tyrant , I’m not going to run away or fear you anymore
I’m not scared ... and I will no longer accept your tyranny
I’m the sparrow who’s not scared to take on the hawk !
Thats such a beautiful reasoning....thankyou so much!!!
I cut my hair and goto temple. That doesn’t make me a mad person I don’t like this pressure and judgement.
👍
No one said that cutting your hair makes you go crazy or mad , that's what he said , you fail to understand. you want to react instead of responding and after all he did not point you out , so why so salty ?
Chip Potato you are not a bad, nobody is judging you
Chip Potato what you did in temple.
Stop being stupid and giving idiotic statements
Well I'm from Punjab🔥🔥🔥
I listen to you, as I do to all Faith Traditions of our Great Subcontinent, with fervent respect, with a voracious appetite for spiritual wisdom and knowledge. Sikhism in particular commands deep admiration for its remarkably conciliatory basis.
I would greatly welcome the fundamental reason for long hair (given that cutting hair is the outcome of latter-day aesthetics)
What are the benefits of hair being nurtured in its natural state? The answer, please?
Felix Almeida the secular reason is it gives the individual a spiritual identity that is equal to their spiritual father - the Gurus. Collectively, it’s provides a sense of community and is an equaliser and an uplifter of the oppressed. So basically, it gives Sikhs dignity and sense of community cohesion despite being multi racial and ethnic in make up.
The spiritual reasons have been discussed - contentment and acceptance of God’s will and shedding the ego.
SS Singh Thank you for your reply.... content to contemplate
"If you cut your hair and it grows back, let it grow. Your body is telling you something"... What about nails?
themax316 just like how dead hair falls out when you comb dead nails need to be cut too. Alive hair when is pulled hurts. Just like cutting live nail hurts. When you cut a dead nail it doesnt hurt one bit.
+Sukhraj Randhawa dead hair falling out is a natural thing....cutting nails requires a man made tool and is not a natural procedure in the context of what this man is saying.
themax316 the clause of hygiene is not to be forgotten
Moreover, Sikhism is practical... long nails are going to create many problems in day to day life
themax316 i can bite my nails and cut them like animals...or work in the field with my hands and they can shed in size by friction. We can go on and on...

Internal is more tougher then external...if u not become external then how come be a internally.so its misconception that person first become internally then externally
Well said , your mind is on right path, waheguru ji bless you.
Yes ,it's true many ancient practices used to have long hair.
Hairs are like energy ,if we cut our hair ,that means we are cutting our energies ,
I have a very long hair but I do don't cut my hair it's just because I have started to doing path and ardas where I have got the guidance to follow the path of Gurusikhi .🙏 God bless you all.
What about sikh girl who don't like to grow hairs.
@@jaggibai8851 no such thing, cutting your hair is a bujjar kurehat, so is eating meat, indulging in inotxicants and cohabiting with someone that isnt your spouse. Doing any of these things will instant invalidate you as a sikh.
Hukam 👍❤️
When we cut our hair, our body turns into a healing mode. The hair starts growing to achieve its desired length according to different bodies. People who cut their hair are actually growing their hair continuously till they die. When you do not cut your hair, it will stop growing after achieving its desired length. It does not grow continuously. And when it grows it also absorbs nutrients from your body.
@@12_harkiratkaur58 but the nails do not have a particular length. It will keep on growing. Their speed of growing is less. Even the cross sectional area is very less as compared to hair on your head
@@12_harkiratkaur58 hairs do not behave as hindrance like long nails in your daily routine work you do.
@@12_harkiratkaur58 hey real sikh never cut his/ her hair.who cut is not a sikh
.
@@12_harkiratkaur58 Cus it's gross.. It goes unsaid I guess... And nails are dead cells and that's why it doesn't hurt when you cut your nails... And hair on the other side are a part of your body and the science says the key purpose of hair is to protect your body... 🙃
@@shelly9470 but outer hair also considered as deaf
No
I am Sikh. I cut my hair to shoulder length after leaving it to grow. I have osteoarthritis in my neck, longer hair is heavier and I struggle to lift my arms over my head to look after my hair.
It’s no one else’s business, to worry about what others do when it doesn’t directly concern you is to exercise your ego. Let the person be comfortable, you do not know their background and context.
I can still be a good person and connect to god without the hair
Hi.
Sikhism or any other religion is all about being human. Tunning with universe. It's a waste if you grow hairs but wouldn't able to grow your brain your higher self.
It's not mandatory. Nobody wants to clear this thing and nobody wants to listen.
It was a recognization of a sikh in battlefield. So that one can see them from far. They(Guru ke Sikh) used to be 40 versus 10 lakhs soldiers of opposition.
Sikh is all about khalsa ( pure) soul. Who respect humankind who respects others.
Hair and no long hair . A true Sikh is one who is pure, good human being, who served Langer, who respects everybody. Helps needy.long hair is only a tradition like other religion has their own traditions, dressing style and food etc. It is a recognization.
But one has to understand Universe. That God is one. That is true meaning of Sikh.
I hope I made my point clear.
P.S.- what this man in video trying to say is one can of course worship God (with or without long hair). But it was his point that there is no need to shave ,if it is going to regrow. It's growing in natural way. But it is itchy or for any good reason, you want to shave, then it's your choice. It has nothing to do with Gurbani, Guruduwara and good Sikh deeds.
It's just it is a recognization given us from Guru Gobind Singh ji. Sikh loves to keep them, following their teacher. They want to keep it as their tradition and roots. Everyone respects and love theie roots.
But of course there is no point in keeping long hair with bad heart.
Many regards
