"waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh "

I just wants to know some gurbani some other things that i am experiancing

"Raj karega khalsa
Aki rahe na koi
Khoar hoi sab milenge
bache sharan jo hoi "

i dont know what has happened to me i cannot sleep at nights sometimes i ask this question to myself why i am a sikh, why i can't be a normal person , i ask my father that why we wear turban and why should i have a beard Just as always he replied that we are sikhs so thats why we should wear turban and should have beard when i keeps on arguing he just reply that be a khalsa and say these gurbani words...

"Raj karega khalsa
Aki rahe na koi
Khoar hoi sab milenge
bache sharan jo hoi "

Everybody makes fun of sikhs in my university all jokes on sikhs, they make mokery of sikhs like anything....
when i joined them i pretend that i am enjoying there jokes but somewhere inside me i always feel very very awful...
I feel like a JOKER who is sitting in them and everybody is Enjoying Specially when some girls say aaeyee sardar ji(come sardar ji) and give that sarcastic smile that really hurts me only i know how i control my anger at that time.. ...

i do work out for about 4 to 5 hours so that i will be exhausted and sleep however if i dont do it i cannot sleep for hours, i dont know what has happened to me earlier everything was fine i dont eat non veg or drink alcohal i dont know why i am going through all this............

Now my professor is telling me that Sikhism is not at all a religion it is a modified hinduism but one cannot move without loosing it roots as guru gobind singh was a great hindu warrior who saved his religion from invaders from Iran,, he gave permissions to wear turban and have beards as he was hiding in jungles, but now war is over so you can come back to your roots if you want to...........

I am stuck in between what to do and what not to do ""totally confused"".
two of my sikh friends removed their hairs they are enjoying now but my father is not allowing me when i ask he say be a khalsa ,,,, Raj karega khalsa,,,

The truth is that i am sick of everything and everybody now !!!!

Khalsa Ji - The Gurbani your father is telling you is very simple. It means that those who are innocent, pure and merged in the One shall inherit the earth and that everyone, young and old alike, shall come under their protection.

You say "why can't I be a normal person." Normal? Why do you want to be what you think other people want you to be? Everyone wants you to be just like them. Why? Because it makes them feel better about themselves. It has nothing to do with you.

As Khalsa, our identity exists beyond time and space. We are Akaal Moorat. We live naturally - in the form Wahe Guru gives us. Relaxed, confident and ready to serve at every moment.

Your doubts come because you do not know who you are. Are you who some girls think you are? Are you who your professor says you are? Everyone has an opinion. That does not make it true. You be you! You be true.

You are the Guru's Sikh. Deepen your relationship with him. Find yourself in that relationship and not in any other. All these people will disappear. They do not care for you. Your Guru cares for you. Bow your head at His feet and ask Him who you are!

In the Name of the Guru, the Light of every Sikh, and the Holy Naam which holds the world.
