You've also mentioned amrit... that is the peak of Sikh commitment... what are your thoughts about that and what is the timeline you have in mind?

Not saying one must wait a lifetime before taking the plunge but your previous rationale was that wearing the 5ks is how you learn (sensory). "Amrit" is something different - what got you thinking about that already?

Kellyji,

There are two ways you can do this brother, put the 5 k's on the backburner until you have read a bigger big on sikhi, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is ideal, it is the biggest and most accurate book out there, and be the best sikh you can be, you will have direction and purpose.

Carry on the path you are on, wear your 5 k's with pride, read sikhiwikki, find other small books, browse the web, be yourself, but you will be like a helicopter without a tail rotor, directionless.

The 5 k's, amrit, all the things you seem keen to embrace, are actually not things to be embraced at all, they are physical and mental manifestations of understanding the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, there is no short cut, certainly, bypassing all understanding and moving straight to the external facets is a bit like using a balloon as a football, please don't go pop, take the harder route, its much more worthwhile, and you do not run the risk of someone asking you to explain sikh philosophy, and being forced to concede that you only look like a sikh....

Respected Kelly singh

Wearing of 5k is the dress of a sikh or Khalsa.It is related to body.Its really very good.
Now you should have to go for second step,that is as follow

Wake up early in morning,chant the name of lord Waheguru-waheguru as more as posiible.

Then Take bath and then read gurbani( jap ji sahib,jaap sahib,anand sahib) with ur mouth and mind,understand its meaning also.After this pray to God for ur mistakes And God will Bless you. remember the name of Lord in your daily work as more as possible.
I know its difficult in starting but it is main purpose of our life.Our soul want to meat Lord,but we are busy in other tasks,so our soul and mind feel sadness due to distance from Lord.
This is the time table for sikh By sikh gurus.

Love is the main thing which join us with lord by Guru Gobind singh,The tenth master
Love the God,He is inside us,so meditate with love

Another ways to Chant the name of Lord is as follow,it is easier after some practice

When you take breath inside say Wahe,and when outside say guru in ur mind.It is the secret way to chant the name of Lord.People in ur surrounding will never know that chanting the name of Lord.They will feel calm with ur presence.

This is the most recmended method by all Guru's'.

This is the method to find the Lord in yourself,Do it with love and also keep praying to Great Lord,because without his order we can do nothing.So never say I am doing,say O Lord your are doing from me.I am nothing,your are every thing.Keep away from pride.

If it is possible take Amrit from Gurudwara,Because Guru it is impossible find God.

At last i want to say that chat the name of Lord and appreciate other to do this,Because this is the only aim of our life.Other things are meaningless without this.

waheguru ji ka khalsa
Wahe guru ji ki fateh

Sikhism is strictly a non missionary faith and I am dead against going around converting people, but if the above poster is interested in Sikhism hen he/she should find out why other muslims converted to Sikhism:
