The end of the masand system

The word masand is composed of the Arabic word masand, which means - pillows, throne, throne and sympathy. Thus, the masand's guru used to mean that the person who was declared a representative of the Guru who is seated on the Guru Graspdi. Those Gurusikhs used to collect a tenth of the earnings of Daswant, that is, earning and propagated Sikhism. They were called masands. The masand system was started by the fourth Guru, Sri Guru Ram Das. These masands had made special contribution in the preaching and promotion of those days, but in spite of the passing of time many masands started getting disturbed by the trapped in the trap of Maya. They started collecting the means of worship from the money of the idol. These people became lazy and inferior in nature because of their luxuries. These people did not want the state power and local administration to become immune or to cause conflicts due to differences. But in the meantime, the Guru was preparing to fight against the strategic policies of the rulers. Therefore, the masands started preaching such that the collision course could not be adopted, because their views had already been executed by Guru Teg Bahadur and now the death of Guru Gobind Tegh Bahadur Have to do The Sikhs of some sedentary attitudes also came under the influence of this kind of false publicity. Some Sikhs with such an idea counseled Mata Gujari that they should understand the Guru that the Sikhs should only be kept in the name of Naam Simran, and in some way peacefully took place under the Mughal rule. When such things reached the Guru, he said: The soul of these masands is contaminated with eating and drinking money. They have become lazy and neglected. Aurangzeb wants people to bow their heads in the spirit of slavery. We wish that the Sikh head should walk. We have to make the Sikhs eligible for this to stand as a wall of persecution, to break the bonds of slavery and to be the owners of this country's destiny. These days, a masand named Nalacha. Attended Guru Ji's Darshan with a service offering. But in his heart a grief-stricken man was caught by the teenager's condition. They began to fight the faith-unbelief struggle in Dubidha. He did not offer all the gifts to the Guru and hid a gold bracelet in his turban. But the Guru reminded him: He has given us a special lover of Sikh something special for us, which he has not given yet. In reply, Masand Dulcha said: No, Guru! I dedicate one thing to you. On this, the Guru told him to remove the turban: the kangan came out of it. Seeing this ritual, the sangat fell into surprise and the grief started requesting forgiveness. The Guru said to him while forgiving: You people have become corrupt now. Therefore, we will now have to establish a direct contact with the Sangat after eliminating the old system and the Guru announces the end of the masand ceremony on the same day. The Gurū ordered the sangat on the festival of Vaisakhi: They want to give whatever money or kar seva to the home. Let them protect themselves and when they come to Guru Darshan, please pay the amount in the guru's house. Thus the masand system ended.
