Vaahiguru Jee Kaa Khalsa Vaahiguru Jee Kee Fateh!

Sangat Jee, I have this friend, who isn't amritdhari or anything. She asked me alot about sikhi, and why we didn't cut our hair, or eat meat, you know the basics. I explained as best as I could. The next day she declided that she was going to try to stop eating meat for a month. She told me that she made so many mistakes and she feels really, really bad about them. I told her to do ardaas, and Guru Jee would understand. She asked me if Guru Jee would forgive her, for her past mistakes she made. I didn't know, because she already has a muslim boyfriend. So what should I tell her?

Please help!!

We can always repent for honest mistakes. We do a lot of stupid things because we don't know any better at the time so we live to regret them as mistakes. Guru Sahib is bakshanhaar...he will forgive us and give us the chance to change our ways. Muslim boyfriend, cutting hair, eating meat...all these mistakes can be forgiven if she honestly seeks forgiveness and sets herself right.

I'm not sure if this is answering your question but isn't Guru Ji suppose to forgive if you ask for forgiveness from the bottom of your heart? Maybe you could tell her that she's going to have to do a lot more then just Ardass. That's what I would think. And I also believe that if she has realized her mistakes, that's a good beginning because most of the time we make mistakes but forget to ask for forgiveness. So I would suggest telling her to go to Guru Ji and ask for forgiveness as well as to start moving towards God some more. Hope that helped and sorry for any confusion.

Thank-you for replying.

I agree with both of you. However, I thought you had to give up all these things, in order to be forgiven. She says that she feels bad about the kissing, and all those things she did with her previous boyfriends, and she won't do it with her present boyfriend. She said that she has stopped eating meat, but she still eats chicken. :) She wants her previous mistakes to be forgiven and I know she really means it, but isn't she a hypocrite? Because she's still dating, but she wants to be forgiven for dating in her past? im confused now! grin.gif

Tell her about this line from gurbani

"Pichle Avgun Baksh Le Prabh Aage Marag paawe"

People think that they had a bath in holy pool of amritsar so they are sin free now and they start commmiting new one thinking that these would be repented in next amritsar visit :)

Until & Uptil we are not moving on the right path the previous mistakes won't be forgiven. So our current path indicates if previous one are forgiven are not.

why she datin a muslim boy neways? she shouldnt be datin at all. whts with all the emeee lafunga. seriously u shud sit dwn with her an hav it out with her proper style, i would if i it were my freind.

as a gursikh she shoudlnt be doin this. i aint even gursikh, an i wouldnt even do this. it hurts to knw gursikhs are doing this. yeh the path to sikhi is hard, bt shes nt makin it any easier. younger people look down on older gursikhs as role models, what example is she setting??

Ask her to talk to other Singhneea that keep rehat and actually practice Sikhi. This will have the most influence on her, and help her by introducing her to several other Singhnees so she is given this sangat.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
