Sorry Bro, I never said those are sants about whom some people take them as such, and then, even then, their thought process has to flow with the teachings of the GURU.
Be it anybody, nobody is above the Guru.
Is that much, difficult to understand, third time?

Well brother,
I was just saying, that whom people refer to some as Sants or Mahapurukhs, then to know if they are truly what they are supposed to be, and as said above, their thought process has to flow in the same direction of the teachings of Guru Jee, otherwise they are fake and the cause of agyanta among mankind.

Bro,
If there are any true sants or mahapurukhs, their thought process  has to always flow in the same direction with the gyan of the GURU, the embodiment of light, gyan  and eternal Truth, otherwise they are pakhandees, thus the cause of thick moorakhta.and agyanta.
SSA.

Guru wins. 

Also. The reason parents say wait is it's really easy to mess up your college bro. Really easy. And it's a big deal. It's the modern day caste system but they call it a class system. And you have to answer their way which isn't the truth. Know their answers, don't beleive them. Insulate your mind. 
But because sex equals babies equals hard to go to class or take or vacation. Your elders want you to get schooled so you don't get poverty trapped. 
Amrit or no, keep as much Rehit as you can and see. If it will help you with school or be too much quite yet. 
 

Live at home until you graduate if possible. Save money for land. 

Watch this veer ji as seeing this video i was lost for words. You are on the right path as you want to take amrit especially at this young age.
 

Thank you for being you big bro.

My dear small brother,
it is all fine what you say, but also keep in mind that as per Gurbani, there is another Amrit which one can have it and attain eternal life, which can very well be reflected in the following verse:
Amrit naam parmaysar tayraa jo simrai so jeevai.
Your Name, O Transcendent Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar; whoever meditates on it, lives forever.
And believe it, to have this Amrit, there is no limit of time, age, gender, caste, creed, nationality or whatsoever .... it just needs faith, courage, and love for the Divine.
This Amrit, the Lord has kept it within all of us in equal measure without any manmukhee  limitations, any wadbhagee jeeva, who dares to go within by His grace, will drink it and achieve jeevan mukti, salvation while live.
Such is the aparampaar mahima of His holy purifier Amrit Nam.
Stay blessed.

Hi Bro,
I am going to share my 2 cents with the query in your post above .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GurjantGnostic   Posted 9 hours ago This translation looks weird. Thoughts on what this is saying? The bit on crucifix and the next particularly.    ਗਰਦਸਤਿਮਨਹਮੇਸ਼ਾਪੈਇਕਾਰਮੀਰਵਦ

Although my hands and feet are occupied in my mundane activities,
ਮਨਚੂੰਕੁਨਮਕਿਦਿਲਬਸੂਇਯਾਰਮੀਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੧॥
man choo(n) kunam k dhil basooi yaar mee ravadh || 28 || 1 ||
But what can I do, (because I am helpless) my mind is constantly thinking of my Beloved. (28) (1)
 
* Here it means, that though one may be busy fulfilling one´s duties towards the world, internally he is thinking about the beloved Guru Jee/Lord,  whenever there are a bit of free moments. jut as a mother goes out for work or anything, yet her heart and mind is always thinking about her child.

This is not the eye that will let out any tears,
 
*Though one may not be able to see the beloved Lord with these physical eyes, His Shabad Dhun, Anhad Bani, Sachee Bani, is always resounding within us non stop all the 24/7, which one can hear it if only we concentrate through meditative simran.
Moosaa, once having darshan of the Jot of Beloved within, always wants to have it at all times.

That this is the reason that it always keeps running towards (seeking) the latter. (28) (4)
 
*When one goes within and tastes the flavor of Nam, one gets purified and is fully receptive to the bakhshish of Waheguru, who is constantly showering love-prem and  devotion-bhakti, to any wadbhagee who is brave and goes within by the repetition of His holy Name.

Will have his neck and head high with pride in both the worlds. (29) (5)
 
* Any one who wishes to run within oneself (the Crucifix),  or has desires to go within, and have His darshan, is most welcome by the Lord Himself and thus that person can proudly say in this world and the world hereafter, he has fulfilled his duty, his purpose as a human being, of God realization and thus achieving the salvation of his soul.

* Goyaa has found the real life, which means, by His grace, he has found that eternal life, of freedom from the cycles and deaths, which is achieved by the only remembrance/ simran of His holy Name, thus is free of the desire of satisfying his bhog/karam indriyas which keep us trapped in committing sins/karmas, thus prisoners in the mayavee perishable creation.

That was my mothers, my aunts, uncles generation. Interestingly my mother was the least of a hippie, but stayed the same her whole life. And demonstartes those ideals while not liking hippies really. But her siblings who were hippies all changed into absolute sell outs. You'd never think they'd ever puffed a joint or been a hippie if you met them now. I don't really particularly like or respect them. They're very fake people. Backstabbing, selfish, nindaks. God bless them. 

Without Naam (gurmantar), human mind is under the control of 5 thieves like greed, attachment, lust, arrogance etc.

@GurjantGnostic I think the key is bro that Sikhs discard all labels be those known as Nanaksaria, Missionary, neo-Nihang, Chowk Mehta Dera premi, etc, etc, etc
The only identity we need is SIKH.
The only one we need worship or recognize is IK ONKAR (that has no gender = Mata/Pita).
And we only need to recognize folks based on their soch and their proven sewa for the Panth. 

SSA Brother.
Your love and faith for Guru Jee is admirable and praise worthy.
It is indeed a blessing  from Him. So be thankful for that bakshish.
Have faith in Him, if He has brought you to your present stage, for sure He will take care of you some more years and still more.
But at your present age, worldwise you also need to  mature by growing mentally/ intellectually and be a bit patient.
My advice is, do as your parents say to wait after you pass 12th standard, they really want the best for you, after Waheguru usually they are our guardians and the best well wishers also till their last breath.
You see, our relation with Him is interior, personal and spiritual , where nothing and no one can interfere. You can talk and pray to Him at any time and place, for He is omnipresent and omniscient.
So, just as you have grown from childhood to teen age now, these few years will pass also by His kirpa.
Study and prepare yourself to be able to choose your career and earn a honest living, and not dependent on anyone.
This will make you walk firmly and remain steady on the narrow road of spirituality.
My best wishes and blessings .
SSA.

You're on the right Paath bro. Fantastic start friend. A lot of worldly and Gurmat experience here both. Don't go into life blind. Use our mistakes. Ask anything, no judgement, if you run into difficulty.

Brilliant that you wish to become Amritdhari so young.
The only thing I think your parents might be concerned is possible discrimination or bullying at your school.
Or possibly that your studies could be affected.
So if you reassure them on the above or any issues they might be worrying about all should work out Chardi Kala

Some techniques to be able to comfortably sit in the lotus pose for longer time in meditative practices
 
 

SSA Bro,
I do not know what is going in your mind to say to descend into the gutter .... but there for sure is not a place to go, and I will never ever go, who the hell wants 5hit?
I am sure you have a different meaning by saying those words, so please say exactly what you mean and I may or not give my opinion ....
Secondly, Bachitar Natak is just a bit too much to understand and digest it, at least for a lowly person like me.
But then too, if you or anyone asks me, what have you found useful for you?
Then I will just bring forward the following 2 verses which are more than enough for me as a soul to understand and work on it, to reach my goal Waheguru Akal Purukh, rest is all His khel which only He knows about, so who can even dare to imagine His Infinity?
 
ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਨ੍ਰਿਬਿਕਾਰ ਨਿਤ੍ਯੰ ਨਿਰਾਲੰ ॥
Nrinkaara Nribikaara Nitaiaan Niraalaan ॥
निरंकार न्रिबिकार नितयं निरालं ॥
He is Formless, Flawless, eternal and Non-aligned
 👆 *This is what He is  
 
ਜਿਨੈ ਨਾਮ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਉਚਾਰੋ ਉਬਾਰੇ ॥
Jini Naam Taa Ko Auchaaro Aubaare ॥
जिनै नाम ता को उचारो उबारे ॥
Those who have remembered the Name of the Lord, have been saved, !
👆 *This is what I need to pay attention and do to reach Him.
 
SSA.

What others say, whosoever maybe is not that important if that does not telly with Gurbani,  for, Gurbani does indeed say, that the Guru, of the supreme heights as Guru Sahiban,  is the manifestation of Akal Purukh Himself.
gur mayree poojaa gur gobind.
I worship and adore my Guru; the Guru is the Lord of the Universe.
gur mayraa paarbarahm gur bhagvant.
My Guru is the Supreme Lord God; the Guru is the Lord God.
 
But the thing is, though Guru Sahiban are undoubtedly Akal Purukh, but, that does not mean that they will be our Aladdin´s genie, to fulfill our desires and wishes, or save us from sickness, poverty, riches, grant children and so onnnnnnnn.
Rather they firstly come to teach us learn to live in whatever happens according to our own karmas bravely, for the action/reaction effects of karmas is also His hukum.
He, is not like a magician with a magic stick to waver, or like corrupted politicians in changing/modifying the laws upon receiving bribery .... it is the most inhuman injustice man can do to Him, and then too blame Him, out of own ignorance about how Nature works.
 
Secondly, they come to release us from al our manmukhta/agyanta,  and teach us to connect our surtees with the jugtee or abhyaas  of  Nam simran, to the Shabad Guru within , the link between us and Him, in whose company will the soul return back Home.
That is why also the Bani says:
Mat koee bharam bhoolay sansaar, bin Satgur koee na utraas paar.
Bin Satgur kinay na paaya, Bin Satgur kinay na paayo.
 
Would like to end with humble tribute to Guru Jee : Guru Guru Guru kar man mor, Guru bina mai nahee hor

There is no such thing as over the marriage age. This a desi mentality (also others). 40 is a reasonable age to be married.
 
If you have health problems you should look in to getting yourself checked. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually you should be healthy to live a happy life. Eat healthy, workout, meditate..you know the whole list
 
You're looking at yourself very negatively which is very anti-gurmat (in my opinion). You need self confidence. If you want you can always change the way you look, up your appearance, etc.
 
I completely agree.
 

To teach us Humility. Also, to primarily connect us to Shabad Guru, as Maharaaj knew that their physical bodies won't be visible to everyone once they decide to go to Sachkhand.
