bhai anoopji,
satsriakaalji..well i too am not fr ma keshdhaari background however am interested in sikhi...and have always felt as a sikh....veerji i know its not easy to convince folks who are not in this path.
A few years back and sometimes now too i have been also prompted by many others to take amrit....but there is a lot of conflict in the mind....
I had a chat with a close friend of mine who has been a devoted sikh and he said...' I appreciate yor love for sikhi but let me tell you a sikh just by look is not a perfect sikh...A person who follows sikhi with devotion understands Gurbaani and loves the Guru is more sikh rather than a person who wears dastaar and keeps his kesh but doesnt follow the Divine Path...he drinks, boasts, eats kuthe da maas.....that is absolutely of no use...
Love the Guru...ask Him...converse as you converse with yor friend...Its easier said than done ...but keep trying ...its like connecting to the internet...in those early days ..keep trying u shall succeed..The Guru will make your Path....He shall guide you... Seek refuge in Him and He shall guide you...and you will find solace.....
If I have written anything too much...bhool chuk maaf....i m too small of a human being ...to say all this ...but this is what is read and discussed....and this is what i know ...
with love and regards...
