HI I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR YOUR RESOPONSE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT U SAID AND YEAH I BELIEVE IT BUT THE REASON Y I DON'T WANNA BAPTIZE RIGHT NOW IS B/C ITS TAKE DISCIPLINE ABT KEEPING HAIR, ONLY BE A VEG, DOING ISNAN AND PRAYING THE MORNING AND PLUS STAYING UR NATURAL SELF WITH OUT PUTING ON MAKEUP SO THATS Y IAM NOT READY FOR THAT BUT I WANT TO LATER IN MY LIFE WHEN IAM READY. SO IF U COULD PLS MY Q THAT IAM STILL CONUSED ABT HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR A SIKH TO KEEP HIS OR HER KESH IF THEY ARE NOT BAPTIZED? B/C I PERSONALLY BELIEVE RIGHT NOW THAT I TRIM MY HAIR FOR ITS HEALTH AND PLUS SHAVING AND WAX TO B/C I FEEL I NEED TO ALTER MY BODY TO SOME EXTENT BUT I STILL DON'T WANNA HAVE SOME RESPECT TOWARDS SIKHISM. I STILL RESPECT MY FAITH AND TRY TO BE AS GOOD OF A SIKH AS I CAN, WAHEGURU HAS HELPED ME ALOT

Its all according to your consciousness. No one can tell you what is right for you. You have to look to your identity, your values, your integrity...not from external societal pressure...but from your own inner "knowing" of who you are. The answers are there within you. May Guru guide you. GTKK
