[QUOTE="Seeker2013, post: 203409, member: 19755"] [B]Let me say in advance everything I reply to your post , please don't take it personally and I certainly DON'T reply to confront you. I am just putting across my point. Thanks .[/B] Yet again , we're confusing between a 'sikh' and a 'khalsa' , aren't we ! sigh . Sikh means a student, a follower. Guru Gobind Singh ji created khalsa panth, but he also created nirmala panth and perhaps others. Panth means 'way' . And guru ji also said "khalsa mero roop hai khaas, khalsa meho karo niwaas", right ? it means "(while all other forms are also mine) but khalsa as a way and a form is special most to me, and in it I reside" note he said "khaas" (special) , a word that indicates that there are other lesser 'khaas' roops as well ! kes is primal kakaar among 5 kakaars. but then again its a sign of khalsa, and while every khalsa is a sikh, not every sikh is a khalsa ! IMPORTANT POINT the whole kaum has forget today ! My Guru Is Guru granth sahib and nowhere in it is written that a sikh ought to keep hair . I am sorry if I sound stupid to you , I might not be your level yet but thats what I interpret it as ! Having said this I am not insulting towards amritdharis . I do respect them for the respect of the outward symbols of Guru Gobind Singh ji that they wear with perseverence . However, and again this is important, I have been growing up hearing in gurudwaras that gurmukh is someone who wear 5Ks and is amritdhari and manmukh by definition is someone who cuts his hair . It could be that the amritdhari with 5K is busy with corruption, lust and other things and the manmukh is actually the one who wakes up at 4 am to read baani. but then again , that rarely cared to us at personal level or kaum level. We made such simplistic defintions of sikhi . We totally confused between sikhi and khalsa and we saw the result at personal and community level . The 'patits' , the 'manmukhs' and other terms we used for otherwise innocent (and perhaps curious) non-khalsa sikhs drove them away from sikhi. We could have said "it could be he's not keeping his kes, but maybe atleast the love for guru has sprouted in him. Fine we will start with it" but we started with the reverse approach : first outside, then inside . and we saw the results ! 'patit / manmukhs' went away and 'gurmukhs' became egoistical . I maybe totally wrong but thats what I feel at times. why do you assume brother ? :) it could be I woke up amritvela today . it could be I thank him everytime I go to gurdwara. lets not assume I am unthankful. I grew up in the 90s when the guilt-trip sikhi was very famous. I saw it all in front of me, though it rarely worked . Sikhi should come out of pyaar IMHO, not by shaming or other ways. self-loathing ? hate myself so much ? yeah when i was a 13-yr old little boy who felt attracted towards his same-sex peer, I didn't knew back then even in worst of my nightmares that i wil regret my sexuality just 12 yrs later ! I liked the way I felt and thats because there was no society and " straight " people to make me feel bad for who I am . back then I didn't knew that I would have little rights for who I am . I was made to hate myself and be scared of who I am by normals like you and your other 98% (read 'straight') who're hypocrite enough to use contraceptives but then say gays are unnatural because their sex doesn't lead to children.
