bahaahahahah its the BEST :doh:

but the most important thing is to stay on track .. there are always dangerous objects things along the way and we need to avoid them and not get stung by them .. or else we will be further and further away from guru ji ..

but i gotta say ..

i knew NOTHING about sikhi when i wasnt amritdhari 3 yrs ago..

someone told me i wont be able to play HOCKEY if i take amrit .. and guess what .. i actually HESITATED .. lol .. LOL.gif

and for people who know me know why .. cuz im crazily obsessed wit hockey .. but then i found out no thats not true.. and now .. i know that above all is guru ji ..

i laugh at myself for even hesitating on that account .. :)

As other people have mentioned, there are no words to describe the feelings after being blessed with Guru Jee's Amrit, the feelings can only be experienced. The following lines from Gurbani come to mind:

ibsm ibsm ibsm hI BeI hY lwl gulwl rMgwrY ]

bisam bisam bisam hee bhee hai laal gulaal ra(n)gaarai ||

I am wonder-struck, wonder-struck, wonder-struck and amazed, dyed in the deep crimson color of my Beloved.

khu nwnk sMqn rsu AweI hY ijau cwiK gUMgw muskwrY [

kahu naanak sa(n)than ras aaee hai jio chaakh goo(n)gaa musakaarai

Says Nanak, the Saints savor this sublime essence, like the mute, who tastes the sweet candy, but only smiles.

There is a sense of belonging to Guru Jee and a special relationship with Guru Jee is formed, there is no other relationship in the world like it:

so siqguru ipAwrw myrY nwil hY ijQY ikQY mYno ley CfweI ]

so sathigur piaaraa maerai naal hai jithhai kithhai maino leae shhaddaaee ||

That Beloved True Guru is always with me; wherever I may be, He will save me.

i took amrit when i was a little kid..so i cant remember much.

it just kinda "happened" in a way.

now that im older i kinda understand the purpose for it, but i know now that i sooo didnt deserve it. u got to have that pyaar and thirst which is what i dont have. i kind of cheated my way into it.

about 2 years ago, i quit doing my nitnem in the mornings becoz it was "wasting my time" and i didnt see the point of it. didnt keep a proper rehat. my parents didnt really bother to make me but sometimes would ask if id done my rehraas sahib and i would lie and say yes. in the begining they would sit with me and made sure i did my rehraas and nitnem propaly but after a while they stopped. they focused on my sister more because she was more "religious" and well as i used to say, she was a "goody goody" and hated her for it.

i do my nitnem in the mornings now and my rehraas but i still dont feel that pyaar. i regret everyday where i couldnt be bothered to do my nitnem and stuff.. no.gif although im not worthy of nothing, i beg for guru ji to forgive me. pray.gif i want to retake amrit...but i keep having doubts. im so scared of going to take pesh.

so how has it changed me?

well....to be really honest i dont really know. but i think i have understood its importance and taking amrit isnt just something you do to pass your time.. i dont blame my parents for what happened when i was younger but i do blame myself for not trying hard enough.

umm i think thats it really.. sorry for rambling on blush.gif

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • 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.
