Go say its bullshit to someone in real life , they will teach you a lesson . If they physically attack me for saying that the claim that Iron is a mystical metal is bullshit , then they prove i ' m right becuase they can ' t logically counter my argument and must resort to violence . Attacking someone just becuase you disagree with them is against the Gurus teachings . Guru Hargobind told Sikhs to treat Sarabloh like Sona Gold . Thou art the philosopher ' s stone in the world , which transforms the iron into gold that it touches . 4 . The point of it was to tell Sikhs not to care about the aesthetics of the metal , but rather its functionality . At the time Iron had more practical uses than Gold . The Guru never claimed that Iron is a Mystical metal , which was the point I was disputing . The Gurbani verses use are using do not support your argument . Your arguement is invalid becuase you cannot logically prove from a Sikh point if view that Iron is a mystical metal or that it should exclusively be used in Kirpans as conservative Sikhs claim .
