Dear Kds 1980
I understand your concern and I also live in a place where there no sikh around me ( I am in N Ireland)
And I will never ever proclaim that I am the sikh with best Rehat
what i was trying to say that to say rituals are bad or bash them as some of our sikh fellows always try to do by bashing others religions for being ritualist is totally wrong in the essence that the only thing matters is one's spirtuality and love for god
I have seen many ritualist hindu fellows who worship idols but they are so spirtual and have love for God that feel myself so small among them so there is no question I can call them wrong
Now about keeping rehat ,yes it is chalange a big challenge and I will be difficult to keep it anywhere whether it is India or overseas ( as per my view for our young generation it is more difficult or atleast of same difficulty to keep rehat in Punja India)
As mentioned by Ds and acknowledged by yourselfabout the ten step point in above post I also believe that Becoming khalsa is the Peak of Spirtual journey in sikh way of life and offocurse would need Matching internal strength otherwise Just if some body want to immitate it then he will be in trouble and will suffer
Now I agree france is a special case and I agree that till sikhs win their write to wear turban they should try follow the agreed alternative as accepted by Government there and with God's will this problem will be solved in coming time
But If you are also including to this the problem the problem people face in Uk and canda for example
They cut theie hair just to fit in just to look more pleasant or make their life easy or something like that then obviously this shows the amount of their internal strenght to follow sikhi
And I am more than happy that they do so ( cut their hair) because it become useless if dont get it or understand it and will give rise to hipocracy In this situation as well their is nothing against the Rehat if you have strenght to keep it
Now about eating Halal by the Pak Sikh soilders
well I think If he make it a point he will get Vegetarian Food
And I hradly know how much that soilder is into sikhi we are just using the hypothetical situation
As per understand I have I think for a sikh there is no problem in eating meat but guruji Prohibited halal due the fact of sacrificial nature of it and the opressive element of it at thattime ( every body had to eat halal if they wanted meat)
I tell you my experience I live here with lot of peopels from Pakistan and Iran and obviously they eat Halal
They invited me for Dinner and then we had as usuall the disscusion aout halal why sikhs dont eat it
I explained to them about the two pints that first I am not allowed the sacrificial food and second Historical one
But the situation here was different because every body of us there were of scintific mind set( all doctors )
They also accused me of being ritualistic and told me that sikhs are not ritualistic and they asked me for solution as per will of akal the solution that came to my mind was
On the dinner table in front of every body I put my mind to Akal and Did ardass make the food non sacrificial in the same way iy was made sacrificial by reading Kalma by Muslim butcher
know some people will object ti this but This is what Akal has given me understanding If some body can make food sacrificial by reading Kalma I can make it non sacrificial in the same way their no chemical change involve in both the processes .
But I just made my point to them that I am not allowed Sacrificial food so I have to do it and they were more than happy with that
at last Sikhism is living religion and is not ritualistic so we have rehat but it is not ritual but our spirtual tool and Akal always help you just have to be willing to take it
