    I am an amritdhari singh in university and i am in love wit a girl. i kno this is fake love, and i know it is all moh, as true love is only for waheguroo, but all i can do is think about this girl. she is a really good friend of mine and i just feel she would be the perfect girl to marry, she says the exact same thing about me, saying i am a perfect guy for her, the only problem is shes been in a relationship wit a guy for years now, and he is the one she is going to marry. she says i am better for her than he is, but because they been together so long, she cant end it wit him. she says if they werent together we would be. we talk almost everyday, because we are really good friends and all i want to do is spend the rest of my life with her and talk to her all day. i kno this is all stupid and i should jus concentrate on waheguroo and not worry about these things, but all i do is think about her all day and get upset becasue i cannot be wit her.i have been upset a lot lately, and see myself questioning gods plan more and more everyday. i c myself asking god y me? i am amritdhari and trying my best to be a gursikh, but god still gives me these pains? and i really kno these thoughts r bad, because god has given me soooooooooooo much in this life i cannot even begin to tahnk him, yet i find myself question him. i need help as to wat to do and how to get over these feelings...i kno people r going to say read bani and do ardas, but when i read bani she is always in my mind, and when i do ardas, i ask guru sahib to help me get over these feelings, but truly in my heart i am asking him to let me be wit her..i dont kno wat to do...please any suggestions will help

    thanks

    Veere,

    This is just a test from Waheguru, to see if you are a true Singh or not. A true Singh only thinks of women as his mother, sister, or daughter. A true Singh wil not "fall in love" with a girl. There will be only one women that you can "fall in love" with, and that will be your Singhni. Also you mentioned that she is already in a relationship, so FORGET ABOUT HER! AVOID CONTACTING HER! AND MY FRIEND IF YOU CANT THEN GO GET MARRIED (not to her) AND GET OVER THIS! We should love only Waheguru and only Waheguru!

  3. Veerji,

    There is a similar situation in one of the books, Dr.Gurbaksh Singh Ji has written. He talks about a man not wanting to take amrit because the others that have taken amrit are corrupt, do not to paatth, or main sikhi saroop. He thinks it ruins it for the people that are truly sikhs at heart. Dr Sahib's reply to the gentleman is, "Take amrit and be a leader and role model for those people. If people are seen by other members of the sangat as not following our Guruji's hukam, then you will be seen as the one following it, if you maintain your sikhi saroop and amrit." Just a little something.

    Thank You!

    PS;

    Lets not get into an argument about nails and hair. Its a whole different thing.

    when you cut your hair its gona grow back anyone have u ever thought that maybe theres a reason behind that? maybe your not supposed to cut it?

    Same could be said for nails?

    Q: Why Sikhs do not cut their hair but they cut their nails?

    A: It is often argued that hair and nails are similar, but even a superficial study of the two shows them to be extremely different from each other. Hair is not a hindrance to anyone. Because hair can be placed in a bun and kept clean and does perform a number of functions, it is only pragmatic to realize that hair is not bad. On the other hand, nails are an important part of the human body, having long nails is a hindrance to the body. An individual with long nails cannot functions and do everyday chores comfortably. In order to ensure that one can perform the tasks of everyday life, nails are trimmed.

    In addition, whereas the hair grows from a tubular pit (hair follicle), formed by sinking in of the most actively dividing layer of the skin (stratum germinativum) into the lower dermis, the nails are only modifications of the upper dead layers of the skin (stratum corneum). Further, the base of every follicle bulges out forming an inverted cup, which receives blood capillaries for nourishment and nerve fibers to make the hair sensitive. An oil gland, known as sebaceous gland, opens into every hair follicle, the secretion of which lubricates the hair. A muscle is also attached to the base of every hair for bringing about movement. Pigments are added to the shaft of the hair as it grows. None of these features is associated with the nails.

    Structurally also, hair is extremely strong, and resists breaking due to its elasticity and flexibility. Strength of hair can be estimated from the following facts, a human hair laid on a bar of steel and then passed through a cold rolling mill would leave an imprint on the face of the steel. A hair of a man’s beard is about as strong as a copper wire of the same dimensions. If a rope were made out of strands of long hair, it would be strong enough to lift an automobile. Nails, on the other hand, are very brittle and rigid, breaking off easily. Hair are countless (upto 1,25,000 on head region alone), thereby increasing the surface area, as if to meet a specific requirement.

    The differences between the two do not end with the structural features. Even the body’s response towards the two is totally different. Our body, throughout life, tries to maintain a particular length of hair. And if the hair is cut anywhere, the body responds by growing it again to the specific length. It clearly indicates the link of the body with the hair all along its length. The body shows no such response to the nails, which grow from birth to death at the same rate, irrespective of whether cut or not. It follows, thus, that cutting of nails does not tell on the body at all, whereas, cutting of hair puts extra load on the body. To sum up, if there is anything on the head that can be compared with the nails, it is dandruff!

    Nature knows best what to discard or retain. Whatever is retained is not without purpose. Hair is a gift from God, not a burden. Guru Gobind Singh Ji, in his infinite wisdom, commanded us to respect hair and refrain from tampering with it. This is the visible token of his affection for us, as well as our faith in him.

    OK, but I was just saying if you gave the answer you initially gave to me on the street, I would have probably brought up nails. You might have have had five paragraphs of Scientific talk handy to back it up so fast.
    I keep hair cos our Gurus asked us to simple as that if they asked me to keep ma nails i would have done that toooo!!!!

    S.crew all the scientific reasons and the personal reasons.!

    VJKK VJKF!!!

    i was only giving an example thats it
    xkaurx - yes they are structurally and physiologically different. So what?

    That still doens't say why, from a theological view - why did the Gurus say it's not ok to cut hair but didn't mention nails.

    Yes they are different - but the arguement is still valid - if we keep kes to respect the will of God, how is keeping nails any different. Just like kes, nails will grow back - I don't think the Guru's cared if the hair grows from the hair follicle, or that it is extremely strong and flexible - and nails are brittle.

    It does not matter. Theologically it doesn't make sense, if we say that Sikhs keep hair because they "take care of what God has blessed them with." Because the same argument can be applied with nails. They are different - but they are, just like hair, another part of the body.

    Also I believe that the argument that the growth of hair is effected by cutting it has be refuted. But I could be wrong.
