Hey, I recognized how many people say that we should keep the sikh uniform for identity. Sure, that may be appropriate but in a lot of cases people do not even know the meaning of sikh or what and who they are.. Also some or even a lot of people who look like sikh from the outseide are not very true from the inside. So how do u recognize a true sikh? Mere appearance cannot do anything , in my opinion. WHen i look at a person i usually get this vibe from them, or feel an ora around them which kind of allows me to justify if this person seems positive or not. However, after i get to know them is when i truely know if this person is Godly(good and spiritual) or not. Also, I dont know if i can really feel that good and free when i try to keep the sikh identity. Because then  i start to focus on that more. For about 1 month so far i am a totally changed person. Outwarldy i look like a sikh now but to be honest i do not feel like myself anymore. I feel trapped a little bit. I feel like i have too much control on myself or becoming too extreme.  The only reason I am keeping an outwardly appearance is in the fear of God; WHat if I am not accepted by the Guru? It si not for myself at all. JUst for the love Of Guru. Today, however, I feel  better when i allow myself to understand that Guru will be there for me eihter way. If i love him, he willl definitly love me too. Also, If Guru Granth Sahib Ji is one for everyone-muslim,. hindu, christians etc...- then why am i any less of a loved one if i alter my appearance. I believe God and Guru Ji will love me either way, just that God and Guru ji just do not want me to spend too much time on meaningless things where i forget about God.  I promise I wont. God has always been and will continue to be a part of me. Im less afraid of him and have more Love for him. I dont need to prove to anyone what my relationship with him is, He already knows that and i think thats all that matters. I am not saying that anyone is wrong, I'm just saying that perhaps everyone has a unique connection with God from the Heart, and nobody can really judge for anyone else their relationship with Him.
