Finding Out Who I Am

[Guest Amo]

Ok well i was just like to say that i was born into a moderate Sikh family and my cousons and i all were patka/turbans unlike our fathers probably due to the 84 incident however i never knew anything about real Sikhi. Some of my cousons (older than me) take drugs, gamble, sleep around, drink and yet call themselves Sikhs, ive learned alot about real Sikhi in the past few weeks and what i truely believe in since i was hardly taught anything from my parents apart from some main Sikhi history and from the panjabi school i used to go to. The thing is i too am guilty of sins (mainly lust) but my heart has also been touched by the presence of waheguru. Everyday for some reason which i dont know of i keep finding myself thinking of God and everything 'he' has given to me when i have prayed, for 'he' has given me great exam results, a humble heart and much much more. I feel ever indebted to 'him' but i see my family as totally different as in not real Sikhs for my father swears and drinks alot and many of the men in my family call themselves Jatts and hold there heads up high by practising the caste system, my dad makes me go to the gurdwara for free roti every sunday whereas i would rather go on my own accord to listen to the bani. I know it might sound stupid but i have a strong feeling that i have converted to Sikhism and would just like to know about other peoples experiences with their families.

I think that is just beautiful, the Grace that has been bestowed upon you is beyond words. Keep the flame lit, let your Simran(rememberance) of him create more thirst, let it burn within you...pray, beg for such a pain that could only be comforted by his Love...Ask for such a Love that could only be satisfied with Meeting...Ask for such Meeting with the Divine Mother that surrenders your ego and leave only that which is True. Let Shukar Hai, Shukar Hai be your daily prayer.

I am joyous for you my veer or bhen...im so joyous for you.. Wahh Guru

As for your family, let them come to the path on their own. Light yourself first with love and compassion. Fill your cup first so that you may be able to share what have been given with others.

dont treat waheguru as far away.. nor as a "god"..

actually try making them your mate.. someone to talk 2.. someone 2 ask 4 a fava.. dont be afraid of them.. fall in love instead.

JIN PREM KEEYO TIN HEE PRABH PAYO - Those who feel love for him can reach Him.

You are one brave singhni, no matter how bad your circumstances have been you still managed to get this far.. All Guru Ji's Kirpa. Dont worry about anything, it all happens for a reason ie: You may not have been a humble person if you got into Sikhi the "easy way".. if you get what I mean.

just leave everything In Guru Ji's hands - Your best mate :lol:
