We see that even Gursikhs are getting stuck in worldly fashions
and it's not even that they are only stuck in fashion
but they think doing fashion is okay in Gurmat
They ask what is wrong in doing fashion
it depends on the fashion being done whether it is wrong or right
If it is fashionable to wear less clothes
or transparent clothes through which you can see the body of our sisters and daughters
Then this is for sure wrong for a Gursikh to do
Even if the fashion isn't flashy
even then to follow the world and give up the way of a Bhagat is a weakness
and is a sign of inferiority complex
When someone gives up their dress and takes on someone else's dress
then with this action he is saying that his dress is inferior
This is inferiority complex
Someone who follows fashion and does fashion
rarely focuses on Naam and Bani
What is right and wrong in fashion can only be understood by following Gursikhi
Doing fashion is a way to assimilate with worldly people
Here Guru Sahib has ordered that the way of a Gursikh is to be separate
But we must think what is this way separate from?
the answer is it is separate from the world
Why is the way of Bhagats separate than the world
The target of worldly people and Bhagats is separate
the target of Bhagats is meeting Vaheguru and doing Bhagti
whereas the worldly people don't even think about Vaheguru's obtainment
Their goals are worldly
such as accumulating wealth or obtaining a high position
That's why worldly people always remain ready to fit in with the elite
Under which pressure they cut their hair to fit in
They eat all sorts of garbage
they wear the type of clothes society likes
Bhagats try to please Vaheguru jee which is why they do Bhagti
They Jap Naam, do Keertan, and contemplate Gurbani
They keep Rehit of Khalsa
and they wear such clothes which suit a Khalsa Jan
Just with this Vichaar doing fashion is proven wrong
In Gurbani those who give up Bhagti for fashion are admonished many times
People did fashion during Guru Sahib's and Bhagat Sahiban's time as well
This Shabad gives the description of the majority of people who in Kaljug have forgotten Vaheguru jee
In this Shabad Bhagat Kabir jee
describes a rich person engaging in profligacy
and Bhagat jee tells how these rich people do fashion
sin, and eat garbage all day
During Bhagat jee's time, youth who were engaging in profligacy would tie a tiled Pagh
referring to which Bhagat Kabir jee says
That people who follow fashion also do everything crooked
meaning they sin
If someone tells these people who are stuck in Maya to Jap Naam
Or tells them to take Amrit
They say they will Jap Naam when they get old
now is our time to chill and enjoy
people were stuck in Maya then just like they are now'
and they remain devoid of Bhagti
Bhagat jee did Ucharan of this Shabad as and admonishment to them
The reason for doing Fashion is because everyone wants to fit into the elite of society
and to be part of the society you have to do things which please society
fashion is also one of these things
For example, if a new trend of suits becomes fashionable then all women want to make new suits
So they can fit into society
Same way men do new fashions of their pants, Paghs or even of cutting their hair
This is sheep like behavior
in reality, it is a sign of slavery
fashion is done to please people not for the self
and most do this out of compulsion
so this is the sign of slavery
the second reason for doing fashion is to look good in front of others
people think that if they can look good through clothing then it is easy
to become good through embodying good qualities is hard
by wearing fashionable clothing you get deluded into thinking you look good
Girls and Boys often use fashionable clothing to attract one another
which is another form of Kaam
Bhagat Kabir jee has admonished those who wear crooked Paghs
and this admonishment is applicable to today's fashionable people as well
Today the place of a crooked Pagh has been taken by cut hair
and the place of women's long beautiful hair has been taken by bangs
The intention of fashion is the same as it always was and this intention is not good
Girls and boys doing many types of fashion to attract one another
First girls would attract boys by wearing attractive clothing
But in grave Kaljug now by using the body
boys and girls try to attract one another
these relations which are established by showing the body are short lived
This is why relationships are created and broken without much warning
the honour of families has been thrown into dirt
and now parents have started to keep this expectation from their daughters
that they will themselves find their husband
how are young women supposed to know how to find the right husband
trying to find suitable suitors they fall prey to the lust of many men
and become miserable in this way
our youth now need to make the decision whether they want to please Guru Sahib or the world
If they want to please Guru Sahib then they should keep Gurmukhi Bana and engage in Naam and Bani
And if trying to please the world they want to do fashion
then they should remember that the world still won't be pleased
has anyone ever been able to please the whole world? Never
Half will be pleased and half for some reason will be upset
The way to get glory from the world is not by trying to please the world
If we please Guru jee then the world gets pleased as well
Meaning whosoever has Vaheguru in his Hirda has the whole world in his hand
meaning if Akal Purakh is in your Hirda the whole world sings your praises
we have no need to get stuck in worldly fashions
Gursikhs never get stuck in worldly fashion
people do fashion to please people
but a Gursikh doesn't care about pleasing people
the life of a Gursikh is devoted to pleasing Vaheguru jee
Vaheguru jee is unchanging so the Gurmat that He has established will never change
Guru jee has already chosen what the Gurmat clothing is
which is known as Gurmukhi Bana
to wear this Gurmukhi Bana is the fashion of Gursikhs
tying a nice Dastar with a Khanda Chakar is the fashion of a Gursikh
this fashion stays the same from small kids to old people
there is no differnece of age
and there is no difference for males and females
Gurmukhi Bana and Dastar is the dress of all Khalsa
and this is the eternal fashion of Gursikhs
Other than the Khalsa colours of Yellow, Blue, White, and Black
all other colours are to be avoided by Khalsa jan
Khalsa Jan knows that Vaheguru is pleased by Gurmat Gun
and not by worldly fashion and exhibition of the body
If you want to see the Avastha of a Gursikh then his dress is a big signifier
If the dress of a Gursikh is of worldly fashion and society
then you should understand that he has not attained any special Avastha yet
If you are going to stay engrossed in Maya then what is the point of becoming a Gursikh
There is a lot of beauty in Gursikhi but it is in simplicity
does a rose ever have to do makeup?
those faces which are radiant by Naam and Gurbani
have no need to put makeup on their cheeks
and if they even mistakingly do makeup
then the divine radiance goes away from their face
Gurmat simplicity is mandatory in a Gursikh's life
The speech of a Gurmukh is simple
His Dastar and dress are simple
and his walk is also simple
the meaning of Ruftar here is not only the way of walking
but is the way of your life
If a Gursikh makes mansions or accumulates wealth
then his walk of life is full of Chanchalness not simplicity
the life of a Gursikh is devoted to pleasing Vaheguru not anything else
