WJKK WJKF,

 

 first of all im very sad to hear ur story. sounds like u have been thru alot of rough times and i wish u the best and hopes mahraj blesses u.

 

i feel like its a common trend that people taking amrit at an early ahe then mess it up. I have also fallen victim to this stereo type. i took amrit at 14 and did a kurehet when i was 15 when i got involved with a girl. even now when i am nearly 20 years old kaam is still a very bad weakness. i never did any other kureheat and have never cut my kesh or anything but ever since that time when i was 15 i knew i broke my amrit so i fell of my rehet too. i really want to take amrit again but i do not feel ready yet. My parents are also amrit dhari and they still dont know what happened when i was younger, and i have not told anyone about it so even now when i meet sikhs i tell them i am amrit dhari bc i dont want to deal with the shame of saying i broke it. i feel so bad about doing that but i feel like i hav to bc of reputation of family. I hope to take a trip to india alone one summer and be blessed with amrit again. bbefore that i need to get into a routine again but i just cant stick to it.

 

if u or anyone is in a similar position  and wants to talk to someone who can relate pls reply to this message n let me know. its importsnt to have a support circle in times like this when u feel like u cant speak to anyone. i know i do anywaY

I totally understand. No one except the person Involved with me then knows that I Am a kurahti I And I must continue to pretend for reputation. Sad. Its hard becausw Its not me . acting perfect is hard  especially when Im not even on reht. I would give up sometimes.

Wjkkwjkf. I've been amrit shak for 10 years and I have startes to feel it is ritualistic. I know itswrong to say this but I think for me amrit defined me but maybe we need to learn and find who we are  first. When parent have given you rules to follow from day dot and you dont know any different what I personally feel is that I am pressured into this ideal image and sticking up for sonething that is a lie is very difficult.  Lifes too short to regret and not live.

- you should get Hep from psychiatrists/psychologist

dont repent much on past . This won’t bring any peace . Not every answer will be find in religion. Sometimes u need help from real people . 
 

Thanks for your message bro.

That's the thing...I totally know the situation and what will come of it here and after.

My mind is messed up. To be honest I feel as if I'm bipolar. Living two lives.

Thanks

see its stuff like this which makes me not think about taking amrit, kaam is the main vice that i struggle with too but i would never commit fornication, but the idea of just falling back and out of routine only after a couple of months after taking amrit. you hear so many stories like these. how do you know when its the right time because most these people also probably thought it was the right time and look what happened. my brother in law whose the only singh in my family said just stay keshdhari and in rehit for now as living as a true amritdhari is really difficult. i personally know of 2 women who took amrit and some months later broke it, my mums friends son did the same, and 2 people in my family,    it just makes you think twice  as i would never want to commit the sin of breaking amrit  

my parents especially my dad also wouldn't be too keen about it, not that i listen   i do what i wanna do

You never know, even if you have a great jeevan. Thats why you need a great support system, build your thinking and like minded sangat. Sangat of gurmukhs helps alot.

i dont believe theres ever a best time. Take it at a time where you feel comfortable but don't assume anything but what youve built already.

kande dinpahul is initiation not the final. So build upon it not make it an ideal.

also i would take amrit from hazoor sahib perosnally

with me iv never done anything myself, every move that iv made closer to sikhi is because of this heavy emotion that comes out nowhere, dont know how to describe it. all my family are moneh and my friends are moneh and non punjabis, so iv never had any1 around me telling me to become a sikhi   everything iv done is because of this heavy emotion/feeling that pushes me. 

i randomly started waking up at amritvela   not using a alarm but i just wake up at that time   and took it as guru ji telling me to start doing nitnem, at 1st i ignored it but i just kept on waking up at that time most days and then just accepted it and started doing nitnem.   i used to trim my dhari until 2018 dec   and i stopped trimming it out of similar circumstances.

as for amrit, last few weeks same thing has started happening, im keep on thinking about it and when doing paath its starting to feel incomplete without taking amrit,   i never used to feel this or think of this b4   its just started happening.

this feeling is probable gnna start getting stronger and stronger to the point where i will eventually take amrit,  but its a scary thought!  its like stepping into unknown territory.  like the people above kaam is my biggest and main vice, but i would never commit fornication or adultery, i have too much fear in waheguru/guru ji to do stuff like that even though in the past i have been close to doing it, might sound really stupid, but we have this painting of guru gobind singh ji in our living room and i struggle looking into his eyes for more than 5 secs even though its just an artists imagination, how would i ever look into his eyes in real life if iv blackened my face by committing sexual sin, so even though kaam is a big struggle for me i would never go down that route.   main problem is keeping routine and discipline! i do not trust myself with keeping routine and discipline.

    • 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.
