I'm in the middle of a bit of a dilemma and would like some advice plzz?

I've recently been approached by my uncle about marriage.

The key in question is from a non-gursikh family but his sikhi seems wonderful. In comparison to other singhs my family have asked me about, he seems genuinely passionate in his sikhi. I've not actually met him since I'm not sure what to do. However, I do know his parents, brothers and sisters are not into sikhi and eat meat etc. However, they are all meant to be incredibly nice and loving - he has a good relationship with all of them. It has been hinted that he does not want to remain living with his parents due to the anti-gurmat lifestyle and he lives in the same state as my family and so I would still have the sangat of my family as I wouldn't be too far away. My family has its concerns as my older sisters are all married into great gursikh families and so this is a new scenario for us.

Soooo, do I look at him or his family ? I also keep being told it is a matter of sanjog, which is true but then at the same time, I don't want to marry, regret it and then feel guilty. Tricky huh ? :lol: @

Thanks in advance

This is always a difficult choice. But I feel that you must look at the individual, and not their family. For it is going to be that individual you are marrying, not his family.

So take some time, get to know him, his views on sikhi, his thoughts and beliefs. If they coincide with yours, then strongly consider him.

Best of luck bhenji.

Assert yourself. If meeting is somehow embarrassing or difficult to request, then be bold and say that you wish to interview him. Be frank with him about your concerns regarding family. You will likely be much more comfortable about where you want to go.

Keep in mind that families are an adjustment in any marriage. Don’t attribute adjustment challenges entirely to faith differences. Sometime two families are equally honest in their sikhi, yet they are so far apart in other ways. Learning to accept different family approaches of ones spouse is part of maturing and part of marriage.

I admire those who move themselves toward sikhi without family support.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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!!
