HI THERE, GREAT WEB SITE.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW I EAT MEAT, CUT HAIR AND DRINK ALCOHOL. I KNOW US SKIHS ARE NOT SUPPOSED. DOES THAT MAKE ME A NOT PURE SKIH. OK MY MAIN QUESTION IS WAHT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I DIE? IF I DO PRAY EVERY DAY BUT DO THE ABOVE IS THAT OK. I BELIVE THERE IS ONE GOD, SO IF WHITE PEOPLE CUT HAIR EAT MEAT,ETC. DOEST THAT MEAN THEY WILL ALL BE PUNISHED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SIKH????? DOES IT REALLY SAY IN THE GURU GRANTH TAHT WE SHOULD NOT DO THE ABOVE???? OR DID GURU GOBIND JUST MAKE UP THE 5 K'S JUST TO DISCPLINE AND SELF CONTROL???? I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY. ALSO IF WE DO WRONG TO OTHERS AND WE ARE SORRY WILL GOD FORGIVE US IF WE PRAY WITH A CLEAN HEART?

The Sikh way of life is not a judgement of others. We all are taught different ways of living and different ways of worship.....We are not Catholics that say if you are not Caholic or do not beleive in Jesus that you will go to Hell.

For the Sikh, you judge yourself. We are given the Siri Guru Granth Sahib to guide us to live in awareness of God.Guru Gobind Singh gave the formula to be a Super Human being. Do you think that having a "clean heart" makes your stong and clear and intuitive and powerful? There is only one command in Siri Guru Granth Sahib. That command is "Jaap"

You can drink and eat meat and live lazy, but your hell will be how you feel in this life. You sound like you are not really happy with yourself. It is a very rare person that gets the gift of longing for God. Theere are mostly very stupid and asleep people on this planet. Why to be one of them?

Here is a formula for you to pick you up out of your doldrums. Go to: www.sikhnet.com/s/gurugranthsahib....look under english translation for "Jap Ji Sahib" by Guru Nank. Read this complete 40 pauri's every day for the next 40 days. It will give you upliftment and a blueprint for your life and your faith.
