Why take pride in caste, you fool? Listen to the Guru's words!

With all of the false prides in castes, classes, titles, the human is lost in these divisions. Recent shooting in Vienna Gurdwara, fighting and arguing in others for all kinds of divisions and ways of worship and rituals. Jattpuna, marasipuna, Khatri sikh, rajput sikh, this sikh that sikh. This is all garbage. A wise Sikh rises above all this garbage like a lotus flower. Our Gurus clearly tried to steer us away from haomay (ego) and false pride, yet we all fall pray to this part of maya.
