Hi, I don't drink and I hate drinking. What should I do when i see "Amritdhari" people drinking?-I don't wana fight even though i get really pissed but---what can I tell them? I think they are disrespecting the sikhism. Thanks

Don't preach. Live your life as a humble example. Release your anger. It will only poison you. If one of them asks you a question, then you can respond with kindness. Ask Guruji to guide them. Ask His to help you forgive. GTKK

(REPLY) Sat Nam. Unless they ask you for advice, it won't do you any good to try to give it! It is sad but true that these people are disrespecting their own commitment to live as Amritdhari. But that is between them and God and Guru. Pray for them. And thank God that you are not the one doing the drinking. By all means try to set an example of righteous living, so that others may see at least one Amritdhari Sikh who walks the talk! blessings, SP
