The weakness or idea of "human support" is completely taken care of in GURMAT. (Man being a social animal). But it is at a different plane. A sikh is never supposed to live without SANGAT. Those, as you say, are GURSIKH brothers and seekers. They are our companions. But, they all look towards, together, to SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI. No body, claims and behaves, as superior to others. SANGAT isby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Some thoughts: A basic weakness of general public is to be in search of some saintly person (in human body); whom they can call their master. This is obvious in many societies. Under such weakness; even after believing that SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI is our GURU; some weak minded sikhs keep their search open. And in this process, they get attached with different DERAS.

3.1 The age according to the class (varna) According to ‘Ashvalayan Gruhyasutra’ (1.19), this rite is to be performed during the eighth year in a Brahman (priest), the eleventh year in a Kshatriya (warrior) and the twelfth year in a Vaishya (businessman). The reason for this is that for Vratabandha the minimal requirement of the sattva component is 30% and a child of the respective class cby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Today at about 7 pm, I see a group of foreigner tourists in Harminder Sahib and when I was outside, I saw them boarding Rickshaws. Two of the women were sitting in one rickshaw and one of them was smoking. And then she gave the cigarette to other one. Avoiding the smoke, I hurriedly asked the lady, if she was keeping the cigarettes with her, when she was inside the temple. She said, "Yes, butby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Regarding Panthic Maryada, we must acknowledge that it is not a mere document, it was there even before and after its compilation. Moreover, trying and understanding Panthic Maryada, does not mean disrespect to the Panth or the document. I observe that people who often show more love with the document, are poor in their actions.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Waheguru JI Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh Veer Ji, I was of the impression that the topics we discussed e.g. JAPUJI path or Dhoof or Kunbh Jal etc etc are not of the nature that these can be easily put in MANMAT category, (as GURBANI defines MAN KI MAT). But you seem to be very much sure. Probably you are correct. May be, we can discuss it, when we meet. Dhanwaad Jiby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Please help.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
By the way, can we define; what makes something manmat and not Gurmat. To me, it seems, generally If we do not like a practice, we are convinced that it is manmat. Can not we use some alternative "word" for something, which we do not like. By "deciding and announcing" something we are not convinced, to be MANMAT, we definitely (technically speaking) say that GURU SAHIB agrees with me on thisby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Components: The two major aspects of a hadith are the text of the report (the matn), which contains the actual narrative, and the chain of narrators (the isnad), which documents the route by which the report has been transmitted.[7] The sanad, literally 'support', is so named due to the reliance of the hadith specialists upon it in determining the authenticity or weakness of a hadith.[10] The isby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Hadith Qudsi: Hadith Qudsi (or Sacred Hadith) is a sub-category of hadith which are sayings of Muhammad. Muslims regard the Hadith Qudsi as the words of God (Arabic: Allah), repeated by Muhammad and recorded on the condition of an isnad. According to as-Sayyid ash-Sharif al-Jurjani, the Hadith Qudsi differ from the Quran in that the former are "expressed in Muhammad's words", whereas the latter aby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
