Purity of the Khalsa Guru Gobind Rai was

the Tenth Guru. He started at the age of nine. He became Guru Gobind Singh much later. He was installed by the Khalsa. Look at the purity and power of spirituality given to the Khalsa that they can install a Guru like Guru -Gobind Singh! Gurus have disciples, and disciples had never before become so pure that they could install a Guru.

ne Five K's

Sometimes you ask me, "Why do we wear a sword?" Guru Gobind Singh was the most wise human. He was the one wise human on this planet who knew not only the psychology but the instinct of the human. If you are made to worship the arm, then you will also know to respect it. You, will never misuse it. He made it binding on you to wear a kirpan. When you become Khalsa, it is subjective. It is a symbol, and symbolically you must wear a kirpan. The sword is the symbol of all arms. When you worship the sword, then you will be, subconsciously, the last person to use an arm. You will be most restrictive. You cannot play madly with something that you worship. Have you ever seen any man, in his madness, throw his altar out of the window? Never. And when a rèrson can do that, he is not a human.

Guru Gobind Singh was the most scientific of all scientists. He gave you the wooden comb (kunga) so that you would create your own electric energy for your brain by combing with wood. When the sun is up, tie this kundal, (hair knot) which Samson talks about in the Bible.

He gave you keshas, the hair. If a. person, from birth to the end, does not ruin the antenna of his hair, then insanity cannot come near t h a t pe r so n unde r any circumstances. He told you \p keep it intact. He told you because there is some reason to God's scheme. There is a play this hair sitting on the head has to play. He knew, otherwise, that you will go impotent at thirty-five or forty. He knew men.

He made you to wear underwear so that the polarity of the second chakra, in the movement of the second chakra correlative to the nostrils, ida and pingáis, can be maintained by itself. He designed the underwear purposefully so that you can have your own air pocket around your genitals. That tiny, tiny underwear you wear on that area (jockey shorts) is just like a fig leaf on you. But he took you out of the fig leaf and made you to wear the kachera. The kachera is designed so that, when you walk, it presses an area called the calcium

area. It creates its own air pocket. Tie that knot anywhere,, and the first four vertebrae will" always be in that air pocket. (In this way) a man must enjoy his creative energy in life.

He gave you liara, a bangle. On your right hand he gave you a sign of slavery and freedom. He made you a slave to God so that you could be free of everything.

Turbans for Women

The word "Khalsa" has no gender. There is one Indian Sikh who married a 3HO girl. Now he is an Indian Sikh. He doesn't want her wearing a double turban, and convinced her that the turban was not for women, and, because of that, they betrayed Guru Gobind Singh right on the spot. He convinced her: for a woman there is no turban. Now she is an Amritdhari Sikh; she is Khalsa. And one day I said, "What happened to your head?" She said, "What?" I said, "It has become a canteloupe. Somebody has messed you up. You were all right." She said, "I am jinani." (She wanted to please me in Gurmukhi; Jinani means woman.) I said, "From Khalsa you have become a woman. Who has applied the reverse gear?" She said, "I don't understand." I said, "In Khalsa, there is no woman. There is no woman, and there is no man. It is the purity of God. It is the form and shape of Guru Gobind Singh as he saw in his divinity."

Now in India no woman ties a turban, except for one group among Sikhs, they do. But they are only 2-3%. But when the Khalsa took form in America, the difference in spirituality between the male and female got totally resolved. Now, in this Sikhdom, in this Sikh Dharma of the West, male and female have exactly the same standard feeling, with the perfect respect to divinity and God nature.
