To reword it means that if a group of Sikhsor any group really hate another individualgroup based off of geography or other characteristics that are out of the person ' s controlie . being born with a disability , race , sex , creed , caste , etc they need to look inwards . Why are they being hateful ? Why are they attacking someone verballyphysically for just being ? What are they not addressing inwardly that is the root cause of the problem ? What insecurity do we have internally that we have to ridicule another person to raise ourselves ? What is preventing us from seeing another person as an equal ? hindhoo thurak kooo raafajee eimaam saafee maanas kee jaath sabai eaekai pehichaanabo Some are Hindus and others are Muslims someone is lliifazi and another an ImamShafi but ye recognize all human race as one . Guess I am saying is that to hate someone for something they have no control over is deplorable . Hating anyone is not something that Sikhi condones . Hopefully that makes more sense . Sorry , things make perfect sense in my head . to others not so much . I would take a positive one over a negative one . I guess things are relative . Drinking , laughing , dancing , being a party animal might be seen as positives to the world but they are not something that a Sikh should strive to be . These traits or behaviors should not describe a Sikh . Ideally when one sees a Sikh they should be reminded of humility , seva , kindness , equality , the Khalsa , and ultimately the Gurus . Not some drunk that ' s dancing to some Bollywood number . This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 188 khaath peeth khaelath hasath bisathhaar Eating , drinking , playing , laughing and showing offkavan arathh mirathak seegaar 2 what use are the ostentatious displays of the dead ? 2 jo n sunehi jas paramaanandhaa Those who do not listen to the Praises of the Lord of supreme blisspas pankhee thrigadh jon thae mandhaa 3 are worse off than beasts , birds or creeping creatures . 3 I ' m not saying that a Sikh should not dance , eat , enjoy life but they should not be reduced to seeing themselves as someone who only does those things . Those things are more Punjabi behaviors and not Sikh ideals . Especially considering drinking is a condemned in Sikhi . Drinking wine , his intelligence departs , and madness enters his mindHe cannot distinguish between his own and others , He is struck down by his Lord and Master SGGS p 554 Hopefully that helps clarify somewhat . Punjabi culturewhich is what Bollywood usually portrays is not Sikhi . They are usually at odds . And veer jisorry if you ' re not a guy next time someone is mean to you for being a Bihari , kinly remember Guru Gobind Singh Jithe greatest Saint Warrior in the world hails from there . So maybe the rest of India is just jealous that they don ' t get to walk on the same land that Guru ji did ? Or you can always respond to hate with kindness . Ask them about what you can do to help . To make them less a hateful person in general . It would be good service to the world . Take care .
