1. In youth when we have college, work and other duties to think abt we try the best we can to do simran as long as we do it with a true heart, follow basic teachings atleast b/c a sikh is a learner or seeker of truth however, what if one didn't take amrit in their life? does that mean that he/she is a sinne,r b/c guru gobind singh ji said he will be with those who are fully khalsas? would he still be with those who are learning? I always have and will consider him one of the greatest teachers in history, he was such a modern and awesome thinker!

2. Does sikhism believe in a "golden rule" like other faiths? always was curious abt that?

Doesn't the Guru take us from darkness to light? Doesn't the Guru take us to God. God is Universal, Infinite, limitless. Don't you think God is there for everyone, no matter what their status, merely if he or she acknowledges God? So, you answer your question. Is the Guru there for anyone, then? Do you really think the Guru is so limited, that He only embraces those that are perfect? What is perfection? If we were all perfect, there would be no reason to be living. The purpose of life is to finish our karmas. We may try to live as purely as possible, but none of us is perfect. If we were, we'd be ready to die and go Home to God. Blessings. GTKK
