Why Do People Get Mad When A Sikh Girl Marries A Non Sikh In The Gurdwara

No worries.

Sikhi has been the source of boundless peace and tranquility of self in my life.

Anger and exclusion are not things that coincide with what little I have learned of Sikhi in my life.

The beauty and essence of that Sikhi is very important to maintain and please forgive me for being so bold as to make that statement as a newcomer.

I'm still learning but I genuinely struggle to bridge that with some of the themes and commentary on this forum.

And I'm guilty of making statements that sound like answers too! XD

But isn't being human the hukam?

Yes, being "human" is Hukam .

But , what is that Hukam?

And, what kind of person is that whom Guru Nanak says is "Human"?

The whole bani of Sri Guru Granth Sahib is about describing what that Hukam is and what it means to be “Human”.

If you start following the Hukam to be “the Human”, you have become a Sikh. So it is not correct to say “become a Human first before becoming a Sikh”. First step to become the “Human” (that Guru Nanak mentions) is also your first step on the path of Sikhi. The path of becoming a truthful human being and path of Sikhi are simultaneous and concurrent.

To be “Human” according to the “Hukam” is not pick and choose “what I like and reject what I don’t like” type of thing. It is about following a path of truthful living.

Guru Nanak says this almost in the start Japji Sahib “ How to become truthful ?” In answer to this, he says “follow the path of Hukam that is written ( for the Human beings) by the creator. ………. Every thing (every thing created by the creator) is within Hukam. Nothing is outside the realm of Hukam. …..” ( Japji Sahib Pauri 1 and 2 )

In light of other banis from Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the interpretation of the above

roughly can be stated as that each specie of life has a path chalked out for it by the creator. It is embedded in nature of things by the creator. As long as a person stays within that path, the person has a good chance of becoming truthful to the nature of that of a human being . If person deviates from that path, he is perhaps following a path that of an other specie - that is, he is following Hukam assigned to other specie . . Being deviant from the path assigned to you, will have its consequence.

“ As you sow , so you shall reap ……..”

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
