[QUOTE="Mai Harinder Kaur, post: 111504, member: 3558"] Just to try to clear things up. Randip Singh ji says: Narayanjot Kaur says: Both of you are right in part. My Dad was a Sikh originally from Punjab, my mother was French Canadian Catholic. As far as I was concerned, I was always Sikh, but my mother had other ideas and insisted that I be baptised as an infant and educated to be Catholic. I hated it, but went along until it was time for confirmation when I would have to publicly make a statement of faith, which I could not do, of course. I schemed and plotted and managed to get myself unceremoniously kicked out of the Catholic Church. As usual, I have a blog link: [URL="http://mai-sometimes.blogspot.com/2007/03/day-i-became-sikh.html"]The Day I Became A Sikh[/URL]. I think this particular post is both hilarious and poignant. So, was I born a Sikh or not? Who cares? Clearly I was called by my Guru years before I was able to be outwardly what I had always been inwardly. I personally believe that one can be a Sikh only if called by Guru ji. But who am I to say what form this might take? Perhaps this whole situation, Goragorarang ji, is Guru ji's rather strange way of calling you. I have no way of knowing. That must be resolved within yourself. I will say this: this nibbling around the edges sort of Sikhi won't make it. To try to be a Sikh without looking like a Sikh is missing too much. Being a Sikh is a glorious, fulfilling experience/way of life - costly at times - and well worth it. But you'd have to throw yourself into it completely. Your Sikh friends who don't do this are also missing out. Forgive me if I get a bit preachy. Most Sikhs have no idea the all-encompassing depth of what we have. Shri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj contains all the answers to life's questions, if we will make the effort to find them. And we have a method of actually having a two-way conversation with Guru ji. I think the fact that I had to fight and sacrifice (in several different ways) to be a Sikh gives me an appreciation that many lack. By the way, as for my ancestry, I am half Punjabi, 3/8 French, 1/16 Prussian and 1/16 Inuit. Go figure. :crazy: :ice: [/QUOTE]
