Revision history [back]

My dad won't let me do seva at the Gurdwara anymore. I have been doing seva for 2 years at my local Gurdwara and i have fallen in love with it. I know everybody at the Gurdwara and i feel like i have everybody's trust. I feel incomplete whenever i don't do seva at least once a week. Well now my "dad" says that i can't do seva because only guys do seva and i do seva with boys my age, then it will look bad. I have a hard time sitting for a long period of time so i do seva and listen to kirtan/katha. My dad says that if i am not able to sit for too long, then i shouldn't go to the Gurdwara. My parentd and i have even taken amrit. Now I'm sitting here crying wishing i never started doing seva in the first place because to me.... it feels like a drug addict going through withdrawal symptoms. Another thing that really disappoints me is that, my dad thinks I'll do something wrong.

The biggest thing is... Seva is the only thing I'm capable of doing. My parents never taught me to do kirtan and they never let me learn Gatka. I'm ashamed because i don't know how to do much and now my dad is stopping me from the only thing that i can do.
