We are all sinners, we are all full of vices and darkness-

If we were not we would be sitting in Sachkandh as the True Brahmgyanis(living) are. We do not judge, we never point the finger at others because we know we are worse. We have Sat in Gurbani but ignore it with every breath we all turn our back on the guru and spit in his face constantly but not following his will and his teachings each and every moment.

This is the worst sin as we cannot even plead ignorance to our misdeeds- the Sat has been given.

To the poster, we all sin every single second, ask god for forgiveness from the heart and he will forgive you, he loves you. What you do after that is up to you, just live gurbani as much as you can.

I was surprised that's all. Especially from two Amritdharis. Whilst I appreciate people aren't perfect, I'd expect folk who have taken Amrit to be further along the "road" than others. Possibly my choice of words to express my alarm was a bit blunt, but I've never heard of such shenangians from baptised people. I obviously need to get out more.

A bit off topic, but I think the problem is that the Sikh community has focused very strongly on telling people how important it is chakk amrit but not nearly enough emphasis has been given to make people aware of the jeevan and character that has to be built for such a feat. Hence you get very many amritdhari's who are not (dare i say this) 'fit' to be one. I certainly fit in this category.

I reckon I must be naive because, like I said, I'm flabbergasted after reading the original post. I always thought taking Amrit was the last piece of the jigsaw, if you know what I mean. It's that last step after everything else has been conquered. I'm not judging and I certainly hope I'm not coming across as holier-than-thou. Just a bit sad that's all. Anyway, I'm sure people will learn with experience.

No, taking amrit is opening the jigsaw box and taking out the peices. you still gotta put them together. The last peice is Brahm-Gian or Turya Avastha.

A rehatnama says " param rehat khande ki pahul shakke, meaning the first rehat of a sikh is to take Khande ki pahul."

The last piece of the jigsaw BEFORE the heavy, spiritual stuff which if we're being honest, a small percentage of your everyday Amrtidhari Sikhs reach that level.

Before you take Amrit, you've got to grow your hair and your beard, rise for Amritvela, recite your daily paath and gurbani, sort out your diet (according to the rehat you believe in), keep kakaar, etc. That's what I was referring to as 'the last piece of the jigsaw'. Unless people just wake up one day and say "I'll take Amrit" without preparing for the lifelong committment beforehand.

with some people it comes to them in a flash. or a certain event in their life makes them think this way.

experiences can turn peoples lives completely upside down. in seconds everything becomes clearer.

You should not be filling the girls mind with an undeserved sense of entitlement or making her feel like the victim. Both have indulged in serious Kaam and are both to blame. If a Singh and Singhni have a premarital relationship, they need to get married.

If a Singhni is stupid enough to get into a relationship with a Singh and send him dirty pictures, she does not "deserve better".

The two of them need to get married and build a Jeevan - it is this behavior of youth having lots of different boyfriends and girlfriends before "settling down" with one person that is disgusting and has no place in Gurmat.

I am depressed bhenji sab ahapne ahaap ho gaya.....puri mann toha amrit chaka c ki kuch galat ni karna par eda hi halat ho gayi ki dasa...............amrit break ho gaya?????????????

Why do they NEED to get married?

Its the right thing to do. If Singh Ji felt it was right to mislead Singhni and ask her to send dodgy pics of herself, then he should marry her. If Singh was only doing it for a laugh, then he should be ashamed of himself. I'm not saying Singhni is blameless (she could've told him to go take a running jump) but Singh should've known better.

    • 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.
