lion child quoted: Didn't god give BOTH plants and wildlife life? There really is no difference between plants and life, just because plants don't have ears and eyes doesnt mean they have feelings and a soul. Idon't understand why ppl don't see this... Fateh veer ji just wanna ask a simple question, you know you said that plants and so on have souls and feelings but we eat plant. I f i am wrong please correct me, i don't wanna start a debate nor nothing but i am just curious. Does this mean that you dn't eat anything which comes from plants eg potatos etc. Bhul chuk maaf harsharon p.s thankyou for all the pms that i have recieved regarding this thread it has meant alot to me . :TH:

Welcome brian!

In RehrasChaupai, it is said, "(God), protect me by your hand and destroy all my enemies." In Ardas, we pray for the welfare of whole humanity, "Sarbat Ka Bhala". Does the word Sarbat exclude our enemies?

WOW1 neve actually thpught of it in that way. Thanx again fateh

Daas has written an article on daas' blog regarding the issue. Check out the article, it may be of use to you: I Want to Take Amrit, But MY PARENTS! Thank you this and all the other replies that i have had fro, people even PM'S have helped me alot. I hope i just have the strength to keep on going like this. may be even get my parents to take the amrit. This is one challenge that i will face, but then again life is all about tests. Life is a test. that is why i have learnt that you have to live it to the fullest, even if it means going against your parents wish, they will notice one time or another that their daughter is right. THANKYOU fateh! :lol: Thank you as well! I live in the USA. BUT i have a problem that my parents don't like me socialising, ecspecially going to the gurdwara. They are toooooooooooooo over protective. Like living in some kind of jail. I think this is the only way that i can express my feelings. But i am lucky to have brothers and sisters like you and other veer jis and penjis to help me decide on what i should do. May vaheguru help me get through this test and help me give my head very soon. VAHEGURU! THankyou fateh!

Thank you :lol:

veer ji, follow your heart and everything will be fine. harsharon

fateh! I have not yet taken amrit, but this is somethink that i would like to do. My parents they don't eat meat, drink cut their hair etc. they also believe in god. Nevertheless their belief is that if i was to take the amrit that i would not be able to keep, but the real reason is that they are just saying that because they think that if i was to take the amrit and wear the dastaar that no one will want to marry me. This is the real reason but they say it in a indirect way so that i don't get hurt. Is there anything that i could say to them. I just think they are too overprotective, as i am an only child they don't want me to do the wrong thing and want the best for me. They don't realize how upset i am over this. They just try to fix me up with these random guys who are just cold hearted and just want a wife. I have tried to explain to them, i have even expreesed myself about the passion that i have for sikhi, but they still refuse to understand this fact. Is there anything that i can, if anyone could give me advice on what to do them plz plz plz could you. I mean I know that i am ready to take amrit, as you may have seen i have posted a post before which outlines what maryada i should follow and so. From this I have come to a conclusion that there is no true or whast people call real maryada, because the only maryada that is true is the Guru Granth Sahib jee, and all the maryada eg. takhsali, akj, nanaksar etc are there to guide people and remind people of what not to do. Back to the point though, I can do my 5 bania in the morning and I basically lead a strict life already. There is just this one thing that has been bugging me for some time. I thought to myself that if i was to tell the sangat on this forum about this first then they might think that i was a melodrama etc. But i was wrong, however the sangat on this fprum helped me the most, and reading other peoples post and finding out the way that people help each other out i was amazed. Vaheguru! Just want to say thank you to everyone who has put up this forum, and plz plz could someone advice me on what i should do? thank you harsharon p.s sorry about the long post, i think i had to let my feelings out some way! sorry about the speeling mistakes!

Thank you to everyone who has replied to this. I know it may be a ridiculous question.post but nevertheless theres is no harm in finding out that what is wqrong and what is right. RIGHT! thank you anyways fateh!

get over it. have you got nothing else to worry about? veer ji you really did not have to comment on this if you did not wish too. I was only asking because i was unsure, Now if this a crime then let me know, but also take into account that a sikh is a learner from where i have found out and from where i know. Thankyou for your sacastic remark. Think before you TYPE! fateh! THANK YOU ! LOL:)

How would you spell waheguru/vaheguru?

:lol: Fateh ji penji I think i know you but oh well! Wanted to ask you waht is it meant by aaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaadddddddd!!!!! I am realatively a new sikh who is trying to learn more sorry for the not so realted question. and may your father be better soon vaheguru!

fateh to every one! i am a young sikh from the usa who would like to adopt sikhi, howveer there is a problem which i face. there are many many rehyt maryada out there in the world so my question is which one do i follow? i am very confused... if anyone could help me please do, it will be erally apprecitated. harsharon
