Sakhi Guru Gobind Singh and tobacco

Guru Gobind Singh sakhi

Guru Gobind Singh ji and his fauj were on their way to to Anandpur. Guru ji was on his horse when it abruptly halted infront of a field they were about to go through. Guru ji turned his mighty steed around and told the fauj they would take another route going the lond way arround the field. Later one of the Guru's soldiers asked the guru, " Guru ji why are we going the long way when we could have just walked through the field that we halted at, surely we would be home by now".

The Guru replied, "That field was planted with tobacco and it wasn't me that halted, rather it was my Blue Horse which having caught scent of the tabacco, refused to go any further. It refused to walk through such an unclean place".

So if my horse was not willing to enter the field of tobacco then niether should my Sikhs be exposed to such pollution." Every action of our Guru ji was done for a reason, truly the Gurus were the bright light in this kalijug.

Listen to the discipline of the Gursikh who shuns any contact with tobacco, avoiding, as they know that one is better off dead than being near tobacco.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji:
ਪਾਨ ਸ੝ਪਾਰੀ ਖਾਤੀਆ ਮ੝ਖਿ ਬੀੜੀਆ ਲਾਈਆ ॥(SGGS jeeo-726)
पान सढ़पारी खातीआ मढ़खि बीड़ीआ लाईआ ॥
Pĝn supĝrī khĝtī­ĝ mukh bīrī­ĝ lĝ­ī­ĝ.
Those who put betel nuts and betel leaf in their mouth
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਜਮਿ ਪਕੜਿ ਚਲਾਈਆ ॥੧੩॥

but do not contemplate the Lord, Har, Har - the Messenger of Death
will seize them and take them away.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji:
ਮਾਣਸ੝ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਣਿਆ ਮਾਣਸ੝ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਇ ॥
ਜਿਤ੝ ਪੀਤੈ ਮਤਿ ਦੂਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਬਰਲ੝ ਪਵੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਇ ॥ ਆਪਣਾ ਪਰਾਇਆ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਈ ਖਸਮਹ੝ ਧਕੇ ਖਾਇ ॥
ਜਿਤ੝ ਪੀਤੈ ਖਸਮ੝ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥
One person brings a full bottle, and another fills his cup. Drinking sharab, (alcohol), his intelligence departs,
and madness enters his mind; he cannot distinguish between his own and others, and he is struck down by Waheguru,
his Lord and Master. Drinking it, he forgets Waheguru, his Lord and Master, and he is punished in the Court of the Lord." (Ang 554)
Guru Maharaj Had given us his Roop (Image), to his Sikh also, in due course as our Guru was to do, we should ourselves.
"The Khalsa is my own form;
I manifest myself through the Khalsa.
So long as Khalsa remains distinct;
I bestow all glory on them."
