What About The Women In Sikhism?

Women are not incouraged to develop their spirituality by their parents because they know that once she is married off her future in-laws will not like her to give all her time to paat and pooja and nam jap. If they allow her to do this then who will wash the dishes, cook the food, wash and iron the clothes, mop the floors and shout at the kids? Most mothers-in-law like to gossip too so once the daughter-in-law has finished all her domestic duties, they expect her to sit with them to participate in gossip about all the other relatives, neighbors, other people's daughters and daughters-in-law and arguing. She will never be able to continue with her spiritual training she received in her parents' home. In other words it is not very practical for a sikh woman to allocate her time for spiritual activities either at her parents' home or in-law's home.

Penji as one lives a gristhi jeevan, one can also praise God whilst doing their daily routines. The thing is everybody is not free for long periods of time that they can sit in a quiet room to do paat, nam jap. My thinking is one can also praise Waheguru, whilst doing the housework. Same with men who work, try to allocate some time to God whilst doing the daily routines, if there is limited time. As long as it's done with love and devotion, God understands each persons circumstances.

As if men are encouraged to "incouraged" to develop their spirituality by their parents. LOL

The truth is that the parent themselves are not spiritually inclined and cannot they teach to their sons or daughters.
