are amritdharis allowed to wrk in a a supermarket behind a counter selling cigs and tabbaco, are we allowed to touch such products in the process of work..... whats the sangats view on this

When you take amrit do they say you're not allowed to? You're not drinking/inhaling so what is the problem?

I'm not amritdhari so forgive me for replying but id say try to avoid it. My dad was amritdhari whenever we would go shopping. He wouldn't touch any bags containing eggs etc even. I know you wouldn't be consuming them but see if you can avoid it. It would be weird to see a amritdhari singh selling cigs I think.

Bhull chukk maaf

Big big no no! its one thing to drink it and consume it, but to sell the poison to another human being is on a next level! Also, if Guru Gobind Singh Jis horse had enough sense not to go anywhere near a tobaco field surely we shuld b a bit more brighter!

what if you could not find any more work..... would you just go on benefts then from the government.........

Khalsa ji if non skilled work is what you are talking about (where you don't degrees etc) there's plenty around. Try looking for a job at security 3000 in birmingham trust me you won't have to go on dole. Veer ji, have some faith in akal purakh, He will take care of you if you be in his hukam.

Sorry if I've said anything wrong..

sangat jeo.. i have been working in a gas station for about 5 years... i started wen i was 15 and now i am nineteen...

wen i statred i had short hair.. and cared less about sikhi... but wid vaheguru ji's kirpa i had to change me self and came closer to sikhi..

so the time came wen vaheguru ji blessed this paapi with amrit.. and made me nihaal...

so before takin amrit i worked with Paki owner.. he started to give me wierd looks when i began to grow my beard... but i did ardass to vaheguru to do something where eveyrthing works out..

and one day while i was doing seva in gurdwara this guy out of noewhere began taking to me. . and asked me where i work and everything and at the end he was like if u need a job call me up..

so suddenly evrything at my workin began to change... like my manager was punjabi... and she moved to other state... and all the managemet changed.. so then i had to leave too..

so i called the guy up.. and he was like he have gasstation and work wid him..

but wid him, he inspired me to wear dastar at work.. which i never wore before.. and now i feel 100% comfortable working wearing my dastar.. and confident about myself then ever..

now i still work at gas station and i have also taken amrit... but my still ardass is vaheguru will give me chance to better job...

i agree wid brother up.. to find another job.. but my brother problem is that my dad don't have a job rite now.. and me and my sister work part time to support our family.. and at the same time we go to school..

so please ardass for this paapi.. and u are right.. i hate to work at gasstation.. when i work there i feel all my my kamai goin away.. and feel upset.. and so many negative things i learn from there.. which always pulls be back from vaheguru...

but my hope is only vaheguru.. and he will do kirpa one day...

again forgive this paapi for any worng thing saying.. vaheguru ji ka kahlsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ....

    • 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!!
