As the title suggests, I believe this has to be done sooner or later. Don't wish to end up like Californiasardar all lonely, frustrated at women and being a partypooper on every thread(just kidding). Lets discuss,suggest,encourage,discourage me on this thought of mine.

Waheguruji ka khalsa Waheguruji ki fateh, saad sangat Ji, I would like your opinion and advice on what paath I should do, as I’m going through a lot mentally and emotionally because of my father . My dad has a bad habit of drinking. He’s learnt from his father. He can’t control his alcohol. He drinks like a fish. Once he’s drunk, he starts getting aggressive and verbally abuses family members behind their backs and even taunts me saying “ur a girl, I wish I had a boy” or/and “ I am grieving because I have two girls”. He’s one of those dads who wanted a boy but that never happened. He’s in kalyug. I can’t even begin to describe the terrible things that come …

Sick of being religious

Hello all, *deleted*. Im 23 years old and I’m utterly sick of being a religious (edited) and carry around this burden. It feels like being stuck in a rut. I have enormous respect for the founders (edited) and what they were about. I feel like I just can’t live up to the expectations expected of me. I have enormous respect for my fellow community (edited). Day by day I get farther and farther from it. I’ve stopped doing prayer (edited) and it’s been painful going about my day without it. The trauma is surreal almost as if I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a drug. Is there anyone else out there that feels this way? Anyone who’s overcome this? Any guidance woul…

Issues in the Sikh Panth
by Guest Guest 805- 1 follower
- 1 reply
- 694 views
How can we deal with issues facing the panth? Ignorant youth is a major one, parents are not putting Sikhi first. So many Sikh youth can't read Gurmukhi outside of Panjab, let alone understanding the message of Gurbani. Sikhs are adopting practices and ideologies against Sikhi, especially overseas. Seeing Sikhs like this is dispiriting for the future of the panth.

Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it. -
Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.
