I absolutely dislike superstition. I grew up
in a household believing in nonsense superstitions.
Don’t wash your hair on certain days.
If the cat crosses your way cross the road.
Dontbwalk under a ladder etc etc.
When ever I questioned my mother I was told to hush. As an adult it definitely is annoying when people you know are so gullible to such pathetic rules or traditions that are not related to the Sikh religion. The worst part is the generation today who follow such foolish things.
I can not blame people. They have learned from grand parents, they learned from their parents. The only solution is education, education and more education.
ਸਿਖੀ ਸਿਖਿਆ ਗੁਰ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥ (Page 465)
Sikhi is the way of life learned through the contemplation of Shabad-Guru.
If the contemplation on Shabad-Vichaar is missing in the lives of Sikhs, all vices including superstitions will occupy the place by default.
There has always been a section of society that tries to live as per Guru’s teaching, and other parts of society that haven’t embraced the Sikhi way despite being born to Sikh parents. I don’t think, at any point in time entire Sikh society (or any other society) will be free from superstitions. This makes the job of GurSikhs important and more meaningful, as it’s their responsibility to raise awareness about Guru’s Shabad.
