Can I be forgiven for not speaking up for right out of fear?

I am a student and I had always debated with my teachers about sikh rights. I had always proved my point with the grace of god. But once I was talking to my classmates about a sikh right issue and out of a kind of joke they told my teacher about my opinion. I had been never afraid to admit what I said. But on that very day instead of proving my opinion somehow out of fear or something which I had never encountered earlier I said to my teacher that I had not talked about any such thing. Even after this incident I had always debated with anyone for sikh rights and never had been afraid. But I am ashamed of that one incident that I had not been fearless. This problem may sound funny or weird to you but it is very serious for me. Its remorse is killing me. Every time I recall it, I feel that I had not been a true sikh. 

Am I a true sikh? And can I be forgiven??

Regret/ patchataap is good only if we learn from our mistake and promise not to do the same mistake again. 

Learn from ur mistake. Why did u back down and get fearful? 

A sikh is a marad which means bachan ke bali. Stands by their words. 

Dont look for forgiveness. Be a man. Accept that u did wrong. And that u wont in the future. Then let go of regret. 

All mistakes are to tests that u failed. This taught u, that u are not as truthful or as strong as u thought.so go work on these things, so next time u will pass. I hope it also taught u humility. Maybe u were too proud of the fact that u support ur positions. 

All good things even qualities, virtues, and gunn come fom god. So do thank God and stay humble.

As do some dasam bani for inner strength. I would reccomend chandi di vaar or shabad hazare patshahi 10 or brahm kavach.

You are without a doubt a True Sikh. But only you know what you said that made you feel fear when someone told the teacher. Another part of being a Sikh is admitting when you are wrong and trying to prevent yourself from doing the same thing in the future. We don't know what you said but you do. Accept that you made a mistake and don't do it again. Maybe it wasn't even what you said but you said it in ego. Talk about the Khalsa Panth with every ounce of heart you have but humility is also what Guru Ji taught us. Be humble because the manner in which we say things can make someone listen to us or ignore us.

I sometimes think that there is a power behind that fear sometimes.. maybe its the same when you get some work done but it felt difficult and stressed out the mind a lot, (eg professionals saying do the work that 'hurts' or your mind does not want to do as that is the work that is beneficial) and that power maybe good.

I might be wrong but sometimes there is a a power to some words and some names of people that you feel kind of scared of saying it is a strange feeling dont understand it.

    • 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.
