[QUOTE="Kanwaljit.Singh, post: 155196, member: 14616"] I have a prof here in Univ who keeps long uncut beard (and he is not a muslim!). He is one of the big names in the area of privacy and cryptography. He is gone this week for a talk where he is 'presenting' a paper. When he's back, am sure he won't be through trying to be more presentable himself. That's really brave of you. So they allowed you? In Canada? Some times we have to choose who we wish to be, even re-thinking our hobbies and social activities that may be too common around us. Do you relax or you just plus the power cord of your mind? Does it last forever or just a few hours? What if you took help of Gurbani, reading it so much that you had the Insight? Then you will be relaxed all the time, you will not mess up with your mind and body and you will connect to everything without external influence. I would just say that you keeping track of yourself and where you are going, is a great idea. Going one step at a time. I have an advice. Might sound weird. Don't do it for anyone. Do it for Your connection with Guru. You will keep long beard and find out no one is getting inspired. Youth are going on doing what they want to without listening to the Guru. But if you say to yourself, my beard is part of me and I have to be on my way of being complete, that will do wonders. Why would it be insulting to them? Only if they are talking to Guru, saying what has Sikhi come to? You did so much for your Sikhs and see what they are doing? What would Guru say? I only provide the sun and water, love and care, everyone will reap what they sow. Why is this fact humiliating? Sometimes, 3-4 things have to be done before you do the last bit. You cannot paint a wall if there is no iron frame, no brickwork, no cementing etc. I believe its best that you tackle the tougher bits of problems before you go for simpler ones. But anyway once if you have started doing something good, no matter how easy/tough, NEVER GO BACK. Don't turn your back to Guru, turn back to everything that is corrupting your body and mind. Keep walking and soon you shall be free of them, they are temporal things of this world and have an expiry date. But your love for Guru is Eternal and that is the only thing to grab onto. Truly said! Now it is up to you to inspire your young ones, by turning the tables. If you still wish to keep drinking option open, I will share what Guru says: ਮਾਣਸੁ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਣਿਆ ਮਾਣਸੁ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਇ ॥ माणसु भरिआ आणिआ माणसु भरिआ आइ ॥ Māṇas bẖari▫ā āṇi▫ā māṇas bẖari▫ā ā▫e. One person brings a full bottle, and another fills his cup. ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਮਤਿ ਦੂਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਬਰਲੁ ਪਵੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਇ ॥ जितु पीतै मति दूरि होइ बरलु पवै विचि आइ ॥ Jiṯ pīṯai maṯ ḏūr ho▫e baral pavai vicẖ ā▫e. Drinking the wine, his intelligence departs, and madness enters his mind; ਆਪਣਾ ਪਰਾਇਆ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਈ ਖਸਮਹੁ ਧਕੇ ਖਾਇ ॥ आपणा पराइआ न पछाणई खसमहु धके खाइ ॥ Āpṇā parā▫i▫ā na pacẖẖāṇ▫ī kẖasmahu ḏẖake kẖā▫e. he cannot distinguish between his own and others, and he is struck down by his Lord and Master. ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਖਸਮੁ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥ जितु पीतै खसमु विसरै दरगह मिलै सजाइ ॥ Jiṯ pīṯai kẖasam visrai ḏargėh milai sajā▫e. Drinking it, he forgets his Lord and Master, and he is punished in the Court of the Lord. ਝੂਠਾ ਮਦੁ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਪੀਚਈ ਜੇ ਕਾ ਪਾਰਿ ਵਸਾਇ ॥ झूठा मदु मूलि न पीचई जे का पारि वसाइ ॥ Jẖūṯẖā maḏ mūl na pīcẖ▫ī je kā pār vasā▫e. Do not drink the false wine at all, if it is in your power. ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਸਚੁ ਮਦੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਇ ॥ नानक नदरी सचु मदु पाईऐ सतिगुरु मिलै जिसु आइ ॥ Nānak naḏrī sacẖ maḏ pā▫ī▫ai saṯgur milai jis ā▫e. O Nanak, the True Guru comes and meets the mortal; by His Grace, one obtains the True Wine. ਸਦਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਹੈ ਮਹਲੀ ਪਾਵੈ ਥਾਉ ॥੧॥ सदा साहिब कै रंगि रहै महली पावै थाउ ॥१॥ Saḏā sāhib kai rang rahai mahlī pāvai thā▫o. ||1|| [/QUOTE]
