Dear SPN members, I am a Sikh by birth and choice and my parents have very strong faith in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ji. I have an elder brother who shares the same nurturing as me.
This is about him.
For the past year he has been away working in a some other city, though he comes to visit us every 4 months. My Brother was never very religious but until about a year back whenever he came to see us the first thing he would ask is to take him to a Gurudwara that falls in the way home from the airport. He even asked me once last year to do Japji sahib with loudly so that both of us can know about the mistakes we make while doing the path.
My parents are finding a match for him and he use to say that he will marry whoever our parents deem good for him
But suddenly from the beginning of this year he started saying that he does not want to get married. Never said why.
This April he came back home and told us the reason. He said that he does not believe in God and all religions are a lie. And wants to cut his kesh. And therefore he cannot marry as a Sikh when he knows that later he will get a haircut. Of course leaving my parents distraught and in tears and myself very worried.
Now for past 3 months there was no talk about it but yesterday he made it clear that he intends to get his wish fulfilled.
Moreover he does not want to come back home and live with us anymore. He did not say this but it is very clear from his actions and the way he speaks with us.
We asked him that is he in a relationship with some other girl but he denies it.
I am flabbergasted at this sudden change in behavior of my brother and don't know what to do or how to bring him back.
I asked him to at least read and understand Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ji once before he rejects his beliefs.
Before leaving in April he said that he will do it but I have all my doubts that he did it.
Someone please guide what to do and how can I reinstate his faith. Or can I at all?
