I am amritdhari but recently have not kept rehat for a while due to problems in my personal life, i have not done anyhting bad like do beadbi of my kes or eat meat or any of the 4 kurehits. But i have not been doing my nitnem/amritvela/kakkar rehat- i.e. often I will go days without wearing my kara or kirpan etc and i used to listen to a lot of katha kirtan but now i just watch western tv and movies it's gotten quite bad i feel like i've forgotten my sikhi

how can i stop myself from doing all this in the future and what can i do to discipline myself into staying with rehit? do i need to go pesh to panj pyareh? but im scared if i go pesh i will fall off this path again and have to keep going back.. i really love sikhi idk why sometimes one thing leads to another and suddenly i haven't done my nitnem in weeks

Its easy to fall off the Path every once in a while but by dusting yourself off and carrying on on the Path is the main thing. Because right now, you are like a table with 2 legs, you are more prone to falling so try to surround yourself in the Sangat of Gursikhs, listen to as much Bani, kirtan and katha as you can. Motivate yourself with Katha to help you wake up in the morning. All other works are of no avail to you. Watching western tv etc is a load of garbage anyway lol.

As for your Panj Kakkars you have to keep them on, no matter what. The Panj Kakkars are the nishaani that you are a Sikh. Wear them with pride (not ego) but be proud that you have been blessed. I like wearing a massive Kara because when everyone asks me why I wear it, I love explaining Sikhi to them. Shastar you should always keep them on you 24/7 because you have to stay tyar bar tyar. I'm not amritdhari yet but Maharaj Kirpa hoping to take amrit when I'm around 17/18. However I am starting to practise now. 

You do need to go pesh because maybe you will feel like you don't want to go the Panj Pyare again if you go once. Please take it from someone who is so thirsty for amrit. You have been blessed with amrit so please keep it till the day you die. It is a truly a Gift that is priceless. 

You are part of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's family so you have every right to walk with your head held high.

All other still looks reasonable as lots of amritdhari people don’t wear kirpan and Kangha regularly, but i have never seen anyone who stopped wearing Kara.

its most ‘easy to adapt’ kakaar, even non.amritdhari and non.punjabis wear Kara all the time without taking it out.

thohda jiha hardwork te bai ji karna pena tuhanu vi ?

are you suffering from depression?  why do you miss nitnem?  do you not wake up early enough, or you are too tired? have you lost faith in them?

i'm asking these questions to help figure out the cause.

    • 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.
