not amritdhari but imo we should love and care for our family whove looked after and helped us in life (returning the favour?)...but try to never become so emotionally attached to em that they influence your thinking, judgement and decisions in life.

but this can be difficult sometimes especially for certain elders who u respect n admire in life...

maybe try to read up on how great gursikhs lived their lives and how they treated their family? ask urself what maharaj would do in certain situations given what they did to provide for their family but also their sacrifice at the end of it all?

Emotions come from the mind. Sometimes we’re happy. Sometimes we’re sad. Up and down like a rollercoaster. Unstable. Unsettled.

The truly perfect Sikh is free from the emotional tanglements of the mind. They are lost within the blissfulness of the Akaal Purakh. Neither happy, nor sad. Neither angry, not depressed.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

How emotional is a Khalsa expected to be by Guru Maharaj? (In terms of familial relations)

That's a REALLY good question. 

I guess it's hard to get that balance between realising that all human bonds are temporary, and still loving and caring for your family whilst always keeping the greater Sikhi concept of our real eternal identity at the fore of our human consciousness (whilst we try and transcend this very thing through bhagti and actions). 

In an ideal world all members of a family will be striving to break that veil of illusion that somehow separates us from our divine true nature, but in practice it doesn't work like that. People are at different stages due their own karams and efforts. 

I think this is why Guru ji told us:

 

Nanak hukmai jai bujhay taan haumai kahey nah koe. 

I guess if we are striving spiritually (which is a blessing because: 'aap vichoraya aap milieyaa' ) we should have some compassion or understanding for those that haven't even grasped this as an objective of human life as long as they are not being destructive to others?

    • 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.
