confused about my career
I am really thankful to god for giving me life on this earth in a sikh family. I used to cut my hair and eat no-veg. But with god's grace, I'm away from all these deeds. i am also trying to do go on the path of being an amritdhari. But there is one obstacle in that!!! I have a shop, where we sell cigarrettes and lottery and according to our gurujees, it is a forbidden path. I feel very ashamed to tell anybody when they ask what I do for living. Recently, I was rejected in a gurudwara for giving in some money for charity from my dasaundh because of my career. I cannot describe how I felt at that moment. I sometimes think of changing my work but I don't know what else to do, because that is all I have been doing since I started working and it is going to unbalance a lot of other things in my life if I would even think of a change. Please help me in deciding what to do.
maybe you can stop selling these cigarrettes and lottery .... and this will slowly take you really away from these things.. maybe you can think what else can benifit you if sell that in your shop (except the bad stuff) .. i am not sure if i am right but i wish my advice can help you
Just do ardas in front of Guru Jii and ask for the right way and see what Hukam Guru Ji blesses you with..the fact that you are having these thoughts is a sign that Guru Ji wants you to do something else..so have faith & trust Him..He will guide...God bless us all...
