Mom And Family Won'T Let Me Amrit Chak

[Only five]

Your mom is completely wrong here, but still give her respect. You don't have to follow what she says and you can still give her respect. If she's really against taking Amrit then take her to your local Gurdwara and do seva together. Some people can't be shown just by words. They need to see the real deal. Start your mom off by doing seva of the sangat shoes. She might refuse, but just pick up the cloth and continue with your seva. Next time you go, do a different seva. Tell her to start doing paat with you and then actually talk about the paat you guys did. She might bring up excuses saying shes got other things to do, but don't get fustrated and give up. You do your paat and the next time your going to do it, ask her again. Either she will realize how devoted you are by just watching or she will find out by doing the paat with you. Doesn't matter how stubborn or arrogant a person is....Gurbani breaks there ignorance in a second and shows them reality.

i have a friend whose family is just like yours, especially his mother and sister, he and his cousin got into sikhi together they started by reading books about sants and mahapurakhs, and then went on to go listen to katha at the gurdwara, their parents were against everything they were doing but they kept to themseles and kept listening, they talked about amrit and just like your mom they would all get mad and be like no your not taking amrit your becoming a "baba" and stuff, but after about a 3 months there was an amrit sanchar nearby and without telling anyone they went and took amrit, no one knew where they were they just told them they owuld be at gurdwara, when they came home they hid the fact that they took amrit for at least 3 weeks before their families found out. when the families did, they got really mad at them and shouted at both of them for a long time about it, but after a few weeks or months both fmilies realized that they couldnt do much about it and let them be, even tho the families themselves still drink and party, and arent amritdhari, they still support their sons, they know that their sons arent going out and getting into trouble but are rather with good company. i would just say to take this as an example that you arent alone in this and if you really want amrit go for it, it would be hard at first but they will give in eventually.
