How To Conduct A Successful Rebellion

[theturbanator]

We (Parents and i) were watching today and i put both my hands on my head, my mum goes, dont put ur hands on ur head, i said why not? she said, cos u shouldnt.

So i asked if there is a reason i shouldnt put hands on the head, she said, she doesnt know but there must be a reason.she stopped complaining and i kept the hands on the head and took them off after a while when i got tired

I personally think parents think that their children arnt commited into doing something they have just become involved with, in another words its just a few weeks thing, so it is important to portray that you know what you are doing and you are ready to face the challenges etc.

Pay respect to parents no matter what they do to you and to others. Look at Guru Nanak Dev jee.. His dad was pretty mad at guru jee and once even raised his hand against guru sahib jee.. what guru sahib jee did?? Nothing.. he accepted it ..

THat's the example he gave to us.. no matter what your parents do.. don't go against it and if its about your sikhi then keep it gupt till you become independent (lots of ppls diagree with me on that).. I do against my parents wishes most of the time but deep within i know im not supposed to do that.. Respect them as they know you from day number 1.

Thats the problem! What if they're total idiots and telling you to do the anti-sikh things? Like..."here, have a wine cooler" or "don't you want a hair cut now?" etc. etc...Anyway Vicky, ur ADMIN so that ought to be the fattest clue ever what I might be rebelling against... :TH: ..but SSHHHHH!!!

if what your parents are asking is anti-Gurmat then there's really no choice. You respectfully refuse to do as they say.

how are you?

fateh!!

I think Guru nanak's parents also first prohibited guru nanak to do things related to sikhi, eg when he refused to accept the Jeneu and refused to marry mata sulakhani around the "bedi". Guru nanak sahib respectfully disagreed.

Even kabir sahib mother used to call kabir as crazy. So what did all these people do in such situations? I guess respectfully disagreed.

There is a shabad in gurbani where Namdev bhagat ji was forced by muslim king to utter allah otherwise he would be tortured, he refused even when his own mother said to naamdev to do what the king says as this is the best for him.

Namdev, Raag Bhario, ang 1165 & 1166

Naam Dev's mother began to cry and she said, "Why don't you abandon your Lord Ram, and worship his Lord Allah?"Naam Dev answered, "I am not your son, and you are not my mother. Even if my body dies, I will still sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord." The elephant attacked him with his trunk, but Naam Dev was saved, protected by the Lord.
