No single piece of cloth can cost you more than an Indian turban. Some Indians tie it only on ceremonial occasions. A disciple of the Living Guru uses one every day. You may go to a modern retail outlet and buy a ready-made one like any other headgear. However, it is a rare privilege to tie one on your own.
The turban is not a mere symbol for an Indian. It is an oath. The Living Guru expects unvarying commitment from every person who wears a turban. Any act or thought contrary to the word of the Living Guru increases its sinful impacts if the doer or the thinker wears a turban. Those who are vulnerable to lust, ego, pride, delusion, or anger, should shed their turbans.
A turban is like an Indian antenna. It connects the wearer to God. The innate spirituality of a person blessed to be an Indian is bound to his or her head by this sacred cloth. Practicing Sikhs may forget the meaning of a turban because they wear one everyday. A person of another or no faith will feel the difference on donning this headgear for the first time.
Daily recital of the Japji Sahib is an appropriate way to learn and to remember the oath of the turban. You get daily reminders on what to think and how to behave.
Are you fit to wear a turban?
