[QUOTE="JtotheAtothe..., post: 60424, member: 4666"] The world is illusion, entrenched in Maya. So intructs our guru, Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Although I am nowhere near comprehending the meaning of these words (I am striving hard), I will offer my opinion and story on the subject. Through the confluence of many events in my life, a few months ago, I cut my hair. Part of it came from this society we live in, part of it came from my depths of doubt, part from my supposed need to further my spirituality (I have many similarities with your story). I had taken on the atheist path because my reverence for God was returning to me in the form of a society that rejected me and partook in the very actions which I refrained. So what was religion doing for me? Only too late did i discover the answer to that question. Even when all the people around me looked down on me or disregarded me, God shared his love with me. By walking on his path, living by his will, I am not separating myself from society, but I am showing my appreciation for God's love, thus in return I am offering him my love. The doubt in my life came from the period when I stopped opening myself to God's love. I had forgotten what faith means (I am still struggling to bring this back) thus I had become very cynical. So in the end, I guess what I am trying to say is that often, some of us, who are born into a religion are not able to truly grasp what we have. I wasn't able to until I cut my hair (Yes, I am going to grow my kesh, and proudly wear a turban in the future some day). We often get lost in this society. But think of it this way. Forty years down the road, you might not even have the friends you have now. But you will still have that one friend who has always been there with you, God. You are a spiritual person, or you wouldn't have such a tough time with the issues you face. Have faith in God (yea, i know it sounds easy when i say it), and you will meet a woman just as spiritual as you. Or, maybe, you yourself are looking towards the women who do not have spirituality as you do? And secondly ask yourself, is a women who judges you by your appearance really a fitting partner ( marriage i have read is supposed to be a spiritual partnership- M. Scott Peck)? Remember, youth does not last long and most of us young do not see this. Sorry for the incoherency of the thoughts I have written. Its kind of late and my brain is a bit fried. But my message is that: your situation, as you first said, is not unique. I am sure there are many other people like us. Keep you kesh. Do not forget the one friend, God, who will be with you always. In his remembrance keep your sikhi saroop. The rest is just minute details. [/QUOTE]
