Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh.

Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo Ji Ka Khalsa,Wahe Guru, Whaa‑hay Guroo Ji Ki Fateh。

I got snubbed today that I came late to the Gurdwara and I have made to, made you to wait. You have no obligation to wait for me, I have no obligation to be here, I want to be here. It's just a privilege for me to be here as a privilege for you to be here but sometime in spite of all human possibility there are certain emergencies which this Dharma needs to be served and unfortunately that falls on my shoulders. Sorry to be late that way but I am happy that I took care of what I had to take care of. I am expected to be here, I am supposed to be here, I should be here but I am not going to guaranty you the time, normally I come here eleven thirty, that's why I drove all the way to be here.

今天我被人呛了,说我来谒师所(Gurdwara)晚了,还让你们等着。你们没有义务等我,我也没有义务来这里,是我自己想要来。能来这里是我的荣幸,也是你们的荣幸,但有时候,尽管人已经尽力,还是会有一些紧急的事,这个正法(Dharma)需要有人去服务,而不幸的是,这落在了我的肩上。很抱歉这样迟到,但我很高兴我处理好了我必须处理的事。大家期待我在这里,我应该在这里,我本该在这里,但我不会向你们保证时间,通常我十一点半到,所以我才一路开车赶来这里。

But my personal feeling is my not being here was much happier that you sang a beautiful Shabad and you are in full swings. Why you want to listen to this old man anyway who you do not understand at all. You know, the tragedy is that you are just following a religion which has come to us from India and we are looking at, at this time in two dichotomies-one is the religion, the religion way and religion has a reality.

但我个人的感觉是,我不在反而更好,你们唱了一首美妙的圣音(Shabad),你们完全投入其中。你们为什么还想听这个老头子讲话呢,你们根本听不懂他。你知道,可悲的是,你们只是在追随一个从印度传到我们这里的宗教,而我们现在看到的是两种分裂——一个是宗教,宗教的方式,而宗教有它的现实。

has come to us from India and we are looking at, at this time in two dichotomies-one is the religion, the religion way and religion has a reality.

从印度传到我们这里,而我们现在看到的是两种分裂——一个是宗教,宗教的方式,而宗教有它的现实。

Let me address certain things today which I had in my mind. Let us suppose Bana, we do not want to wear Bana, we want to be the commoners and we are afraid to wear Bana and we do not like it, it make us responsible, it make us committed, it put us out among the commoners, it does everything which we don't want to be done and majority of the Sikhs hate it and some of you are starting hating it. Well, Sikh Dharma has money, take some money, go and shave off, we don't need you, you don't need us.

今天让我讲一些我心里一直想着的事。假设灵性装束(Bana),我们不想穿灵性装束,我们想当普通人,我们害怕穿灵性装束,我们不喜欢它,它让我们承担责任,它让我们做出承诺,它把我们放到普通人中间,它做了所有我们不想做的事,大多数锡克教徒讨厌它,你们中有些人也开始讨厌它了。好吧,锡克正法(Sikh Dharma)有钱,拿点钱,去把头发剃了,我们不需要你,你也不需要我们。

When a person cannot come out in identity and cannot identify himself willingly and openly that person is not a human, has no tangent of human touched and understood, you are using God and you are using prayer for your individual benefit which you understand your way and it has nothing to do with you and with your religion whether you are a Jew, you are a Christian, you are a Buddhist, you are a Muslim or you are a Sikh, period.

当一个人不能以身份走出来,不能自愿而公开地表明自己的身份,那个人就不是人,没有一点人性触碰过他、理解过他,你在利用神,你在利用祈祷来谋取你个人的利益,按你自己理解的方式,这跟你、跟你的宗教毫无关系,不管你是犹太人、基督徒、佛教徒、穆斯林还是锡克教徒,就这样。

to do with you and with your religion whether you are a Jew, you are a Christian, you are a Buddhist, you are a Muslim or you are a Sikh, period.

跟你、跟你的宗教毫无关系,不管你是犹太人、基督徒、佛教徒、穆斯林还是锡克教徒,就这样。

Religion has absolutely no benefit direct or indirect but to make, force, understand, dictate, command a person to identity himself. Do you understand religion? Or you are just making a mockery of the every religion of the world? Religion has no meaning if you refuse or half heartedly willing to commit yourself to identify yourself. Just understand a soldier, soldier stands on a duty, a person comes, solider puts the rifle straight and say who is coming. The idea comes, friend and the solider on duty, the sentry on duty, calls on, password; if the password is correct all is well, Passover, if not, the bullet comes through, the person is dead. And there is no other way in the court of God.

宗教绝对没有任何直接或间接的好处,它只有一个作用——让人、迫使、让人明白、规定、命令一个人去认同自己。你懂宗教吗?还是你只是在嘲弄世界上每一种宗教?如果你拒绝,或者只是半心半意地愿意去认同自己,宗教就毫无意义。你只要想想一个士兵,士兵站岗,有人走过来,士兵把枪端直,问是谁来了。来意一现,是朋友,站岗的士兵、执勤的哨兵就喊口令;口令对了,一切没事,放行,不对,子弹就穿过来,人就死了。在神的法庭上,没有别的路。
