Running Away From Home

Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm a 19 year old punjabi girl in the UK. Not the best of sikhs, neither the most informed. But not an ignorant lost girl. I haven't managed to ruin my life and neither do i have massive family problems persay. I'm not here to justify why i want to run away from home, neither am i asking advice on how to deal with my home situation.

I just want to know, from the sangat, if anyone has ever run away from home. What preparations they made? What was their destination? Did they manage to survive successfully? Were they tracked? How did they set about creating a new life?

This is a serious post, hopefully the Mods can appreciate that. And yes, i do plan to leave alone.

Thanks for taking the time.

i guess you r too young to make such a decisions dear don't think of such stupid things you better concentrate on your studies and if you have any problem which you cant solve then the best way is to find out a nice job and keep yourself busy ....that's the best thing you can do

but as of now i think its just a rush of blood .....19 i guess is d age when every teenager wants freedom even we at d time don't want anybody to interfere in our business ................be calm nd keep yourself busy

u said as u r Not the best of Sikh

well dear no one else is if there is any then let me know

But i can sure you if you take any such decision in rush of blood then no bdy else but you have to pay for that..

coz sooner or later ghar vapas ana hi payega

Bhul chuk maaf coz i think its a serious matter

Well see i won't be compensating my studies if i do run away. This is not a bid for freedom at all. I don't have an interest in the usual things punjabi parents so infamously restrict their children on. It's more a fear of a future action that a violent family member will soon pursue. I cannot deny there is a rush of blood involved in this, but the potential outcome for me staying is more massive not only for me but also my mother. Trying to decipher and explain a person's life story is difficult, especially on the internet, and i really didnt want to have to.

But i didn't want to disrespect you bhaji for providing your advice and i wanted the thread to move on from WHY i've decided to run, to HOW i shall do so. Thank you anyway.

I know a few cases when girls run away from home, since they dont agree how their parents control them. But is it really worth leaving home since you may not be able to afford the living expenses by yourself, therefore leading you to do bad things to afford them? It is only a dream if some one runs away from home and still enjoy the good life, unless you work full-time and can afford then maybe you could move out also our punjabi parents are not the forgiving type, so expect them to take you back. This just my thought on this wasnt directed towards just something to think about.

You are just about to ruin your life, if you decide to run away. There are some things, that once done; cannot be mended back. So, take advice from the proper ppl (mature sangat, not ur kid girl friends). Stay home or you might keep wandering for the rest of your life.

Try praying, understand the Guru's message. It will help you.

Vaheguru.

    • 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.
