<<if the sikh religion isnt strict then im sure u can do ur 5 banis starting at amrit vela????? im sure u keep the 5 ks on u all the time?????? im sure u never make fun of others, eat stuff a non amridhari has prepared, or act in a non khalsa manner???>>
I wake up in the amrit vela as much as possible, I keep the 5 k's almost always, and I always try to represent the Khalsa positively. I'm not perfect but the Guru doesn't require that of us.
Often I eat food that was prepared by people who are not Amrit Dhari. It is merely my opinion, but this ritual is completely ridiculous. Guru Nanak was not Amrit Dhari, and if he was to feed me, I would certainly eat what he offered. Sikh's believe that all people are equal, not that Amrit Dhari Sikhs are better.

<<yes sikhi is in harmony with natural laws......but we are so accustomed to unnatural laws taht they seen strict>>

Speak for yourself, I'm not at all accustomed to unnatural laws. I was discussing this very issue this morning with my brother. He laughed at the concept of Sikhi being difficult. I agreed saying "life without the Guru would be difficult". "A life in which I broke the commitments of Khalsa would be difficult." If I was to start drinking, eating meat, sleeping around, and treating non-Amrit Dhari's as lesser people, then certainly life would be difficult.
My life as a Khalsa (i.e. meditating each day, wearing the 5 k's, respecting humanity, living clean and pure), is quite harmonious and far less difficult than any other path that I could even contemplate taking.
