[QUOTE="gs_chana, post: 22646, member: 925"] WJKWJF, Jagmeet, unfortunately the whole meaning of what exactly is amrit has been confused by many over the years, through misunderstandings of gurbani. In gurbani it is written in countless places that salvation/muktee can only be achieved through absorbing amrit. Amrit is God, God is pure, God is without Sin, and by absorbing God in our minds, his name begins to automatically chant, his praises in your mind, NOT OUT LOUD, are chanted in your mind (as per Japji Sahib). One needs to understand that the whole meaning of amrit is misunderstood. Gyani Ji, knows more than a manmukh like me, but I have read sufficient texts and have been given explanations as to the meaning of such phrases by Giani Nasib Singh Dhillon, and he had explained to me that Amrit is not the one you take through the Panj Piari. That amrit is of symbolism, it symobilises the unity of one man to another, under a common khalsa flag, when amrit is taken we all take a sip out of the same bowl. It makes us feel strong, it has its symbolist power. However, Jagmeet, you shall attain salvation through meditation on God's Name, and such meditation should be done walking, sleeping, sitting (uttath, behtath, sovath jagath, hari jas gayehai). Sikhism is universal, you are a sikh by following gurbani and living life according to it. any person can be as sikh, a muslim, hindu, etc. Because as per Guru Gobind, religion is only by name, every one on this earth is a human. As a human, we need guidance as to how to live life. That is where Guruji Comes. He gives us the guidance, thus, read gurbani (in english translated is you wish) and follow it...apply it to your life, and then and then only can you be a sikh, and the same applies to me...I am not a sikh...how dare i call myself such sikh...i may be identified as a sikh...but call yourself a sikh only if you live by guru's command, and dare I say I am not practicing what I preach, though I do try to help others on the same journey as me (vand keh shakho; share you knowledge with others on the common path to God). And when you read gurbani, you will find in countless places, that the only way to attain salvation, is through Naam Japu, no other method. So in response to your question, you will achieve salvation if you meditate on God's Name, but do take the Amrit (Khanda Wala) if you wish to come within the fold of the Khalsa. You can still acieve salvation without being Baptised, for a non-sikh who is not baptised can still achieve salvation through his/her respective religion, so can a human being who is a follower of Guru Granth, as the common goal of man is salvation. Guruji is a teacher, who says to his student, a Sikh, you may only achieve salvation through continuous rememebrance of God. Other acts are fruitless and just ritualistic. Thank you for your time, sorry if I had gone on a tangent, and made no sense half way through, lolz, and for any offence I may have caused. WJKWJF Gurdip [/QUOTE]
