[QUOTE="Mai Harinder Kaur, post: 152527, member: 3558"] Darkfantasyxz ji, This appears to be your first post here, so first let me say welcome to you! welcomekaur welcomemunda welcomekaur welcomemunda welcomekaur I think most of us have asked these questions of ourselves at one time or another. These are problems within all communities, I think, not just Sikhs. Before I go on, if your friend is being beaten by her father, she needs immediate help. Without knowing where you are, I can't make suggestions, but this is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed elsewhere. As for the rest, it hurts me to see other Sikhs drinking and gossiping and believing in caste and the various babas and cults out there. In practical terms, what can I do about it? First and foremost, I must make sure that I myself am not doing any of those things. I must work on becoming the best Sikh I can possibly be. I have found this to be a full-time job without a lot of energy left to worry too much about others' behaviours. I do agree with you on one thing. Amrit is a far from a ritual and those who make it such are missing the whole point. You never know, though. I know one woman who took Amrit just on a whim with no intention of taking it seriously. However, after accepting the blessing of Amrit, she realised what it meant and completely changed her attitude. As I said, you never know. One thing I have learned: judging others is a dangerous business. It is impossible to know what is in another's heart and mind, however well you know them. I would suggest that you try to focus more on your own growth and less on them. You are young; it is unlikely that your elders will listen to you with anything except disdain. They may, though, see your growth as a Sikh and realise what they are missing. Or they might not. Whether they do or not, you will be growing and that is good. Please remember to talk to Guru ji about whatever is on your mind. Take a Hukamnama and really listen to the answer. If you can do this is the physical universe, do it there. If not, take a cyberhukamnama. In either case Guru ji will be speaking directly to you. I am not certain as to how this works, but I know that it does. I had to smile at the title of this thread. "Why Some Sikhs Are Fake." Aren't we all fake in one way or another? I try my best, yet still find that bit of hypocrisy in myself. None of us is perfect. The best we can do is the best we can do - and leave the rest to Guru ji. You have my best wishes and will be in my prayers. [/QUOTE]
