Passive smoking


Once, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj was riding his blue horse and going towards Anandgarh, when suddenly out of nowhere Guru Ji’s horse stopped running. The Guru tried to persuade the horse to carry on but the horse wouldn’t go any further. The Guru tried in many ways to make the horse move but the horse remained stationary. On finding out why the horse had suddenly stopped and didn’t move it was discovered that the field which was to be crossed by the horse was where tobacco was sown.

Turn away, O my mind, turn away. Turn away from the faithless cynic. False is the love of the false one; break the ties, O my mind, and your ties shall be broken. Break your ties with the faithless cynic. One who enters a house filled with soot is blackened. Run far away from such people! One who meets the Guru escapes from the bondage of the three dispositions. I beg this blessing of You, O Merciful Lord, ocean of mercy - please, don't bring me face to face with the faithless cynics. Make servant Nanak the slave of your slave; let his head roll in the dust under the feet of the Holy. Ang 535 SGGSJ

  • In this day and age we will come across smoke on the streets, always try and avoid it much as possible but it is some what impossible to totally avid on the streets.
  • Mothers act like they care for their child and may even dress them up with the most expensive garments. But if they smoke infront of their child and cause their children to inhale passive smoke do they really care?
  • Women that are pregnant and smoke are destroying their child’s health even before it is born. (Not a good head start in life is it?)
  • Sikhs have Khanda Images in or on their cars and have a fag at the same time. (what a besti this is)
