Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

its all maharaj kirpa. My desicion to become veggie was subconsious, i dont really know why i really gave up, its just happened as I learnt more about Sikhi. If you have been eating meat all your life (like i was), then obviously it will be difficult. One tip is, as with anything that ppl want to give up (e.g. smoking/drinking) is to give up slowly. I know ppl who cant leave meat for even a day. Start by reducing the amount you eat in a week and carry on till u only eat once in 2 weeks or something. lol, hopefully buy then you will stop altogther.

Stoping straight away can be very hard, as its like running before you can walk. another thing to try is to research into why your actually givng up in the first place, im sure u already know, but researching in the scientific part can help, mentally and phycologically (sorry bout speliling) you can train urself up.

Im sure the sangat at urseldf may find this simple and common knowledge, but simple way is the best way, lol.

anyway, sorry if offenfed anyone, may have said something i mean in different way, lol..

Look at it like this:

if you are eating outside on a picnic and a pig or a cow walks over to you and licks your food, you would not eat it, because it has been dirtied. So then why is that eating the actual pig or cow is ok? Isn't it worse? Also you are taking a life to satisfy your tongue, when you know you can live perfectly and more healthy without meat.

rsingh ji this is good question cuz i wanna know same thing...i'm trying to experiment with it and become vegie person. But I have problem that my whole family is meat lovers.

I was big meat lover too but now its juz kinda starting to taste gross. I think cuz i got more into sikhi stuff so everytime I start to eat meat all that stuff I learned is in the back of my mind and I can't stop thinking bout it. THat really puts me off from eating meat and I wanna eat something vegie.

Heres another one that puts me off from meat. When we cook chicken usually theres leftover in the pateela. Sometimes I get the duty to transfer the leftovers into a corning ware dish. The smell from the pateela is juz so disgusting and strong, it makes me wonder how the heck i ate this nasty smelly meat. :|

It'll be hard to juz stop eating meat totally. You'll have to ease off of it most likely. In the meanwhile find alternatives.

if i think of more i'll post more........in the meanwhile wheres all the rest of the vegie ppl? come on post and help us out here.... :wub:

    • 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.
