IMHO, you will touch meat every day of your life. You yourself are simply meat. A sikhs life is within gristi. We are not vaishnav. Are you going to refrain from learning the tabla as it's made from goat skin? Are you gona stop purchasing animal by-products like leather?

Living beings are everywhere and everything is living. Also congrats for when you accept amrit.

To disagree with the above, no you should not, because selling people meat (the product of murder of neglected animals) is not really proper Kirt Kamai. Could you imagine giving Dasvandh to the Panth of earnings made in this way?

When Shiri guru nanak dev ji pressed the roti earned from honest/dishonest earnings blood and milk poured out. Blood from out a roti?

Also how do you then justify beating a tabla brought from sangat money to the shabad of gurbani. Is the skin of goats used for our musical instruments any different to the goats meat? Do you think it's justified for those goats to be killed for the production of our musical instruments, aslong as us sikhs dont do the killing and the bad Karam goes on to the killer?

So, If SIkhs don't do the killing then its justified. How is that justified? Let someone else do the dirty work on your behalf and then reap the rewards.

To the original poster, if you need to work and pay the bills then this what you have to do. In our current climate, It very difficult to find jobs.

My grandfather was an Amritdhari and worked at our local butchers because that was the only job he could find at the time.

I agree with your statement about your grandfather, however I think you have misunderstood my point above about the justification of killing. I meant it as a question to the sikh I posted it to in exactly the way you just wrote back to me lol.

No offence to anyone but can't believe some of the responses on here.

Of course its not OK to be handling meat like that once you're amritdhaari. Once you take amrit you become one of the fauj. Could you imagine Guroo Gobind Singh Sahib or a Sahibzada working in that kind of environment.

As for your grandfather, no offence, but that it awful. An amritdhaari working as a butcher. Dhan Vaheguroo.

If still unsure please take a hukamnama.

    • 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.
