How Does Life Change After Amrit?

I wanted to know how exactly life would change.

Basically, you get amazing superpowers where you can read people's minds, predict the future, gain the strength of a thousand men, and just generally be an all-round Ubermensch.

People fall at your feet whenever you leave your home, because they're unable to tolerate the immense spiritual aura that exudes from your radiant self. Everywhere you go people are begging you to bless them with kalyan... even the goreh!

When you speak, your voice thunders and echoes in the air, so much so that it causes the earth to tremble to its core. You also gain the knowledge of hundreds of martial arts, such as kung fu, karate, jiu-jitsu, and judo to name a few. You don't have to train, they just come naturally.

When someone speaks to you, you don't use normal sentences like the plebs you see walking around. Instead, you communicate through the verses found in scriptures.

So, all in all, it's pretty awesome.

I was being serious, (also Christians and Atheists don't believe in Amrit).

It does not change. You will still have the same problems and issues as before. For example if you were addicted to alcohol, even after amrit, u will still be addicted. The only thing that changes is that u get more responsibilities and duties. You have to keep rehat. And u will have to fight all ur issues by ur self, alone. Otherwise u will disgrace ur sikhi if u give into ur addictions and dont foght them. and u will have to try to keep discipline like wake up amrit vela and do nitnem everyday and keep other rehits like not eating out or keeping ur head covered...(depending on wat rehit the panj pyare give u)

I was reading this post and by coincidence this shabad came on tv on one of the Sikh channels, so thought this explains it beautifully:

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

आसा महला ५ ॥

Āsā mėhlā 5. Asa 5th Guru.

ਹਮਾਰੀ ਪਿਆਰੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਧਾਰੀ ਗੁਰਿ ਨਿਮਖ ਨ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਟਾਰੀ ਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

हमारी पिआरी अम्रित धारी गुरि निमख न मन ते टारी रे ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥

Hamārī pi▫ārī amriṯ ḏẖārī gur nimakẖ na man ṯe tārī re. ||1|| rahā▫o.

It (Gurbani) is sweet unto me and it is stream of Nectar. The Guru has not diverted it from my mind. Even for a moment. Pause.

ਦਰਸਨ ਪਰਸਨ ਸਰਸਨ ਹਰਸਨ ਰੰਗਿ ਰੰਗੀ ਕਰਤਾਰੀ ਰੇ ॥੧॥

दरसन परसन सरसन हरसन रंगि रंगी करतारी रे ॥१॥

Ḏarsan parsan sarsan harsan rang rangī karṯārī re. ||1||

On beholding and touching it, I am sweetened and delighted. It is imbued with creator's love.

ਖਿਨੁ ਰਮ ਗੁਰ ਗਮ ਹਰਿ ਦਮ ਨਹ ਜਮ ਹਰਿ ਕੰਠਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਉਰਿ ਹਾਰੀ ਰੇ ॥੨॥੫॥੧੩੪॥

खिनु रम गुर गम हरि दम नह जम हरि कंठि नानक उरि हारी रे ॥२॥५॥१३४॥

Kẖin ram gur gam har ḏam nah jam har kanṯẖ Nānak ur hārī re. ||2||5||134||

By reciting it even for a moment, man mounts to the Guru and by ever repeating it he is not trapped by Death's Courier. God has garlanded Nanak's neck and heart with Gurbani.

Listen to this after 48:00:

Life doesn't magically change post-Amrit, like the flick of a switch without any conscious effort on your part. YOU have to change yourself. Hopefully, that process of change is instigated by the individual in question years or months prior to stepping before the Panj, if you're an adult.

Faith, discipline, and humility. These are the three qualities I feel are at the heart of what Amrit represents.

Brother,

Life can only change if only you want it.

You have no limits. Wahiguru is your reach.

You see, athletes or sportsmen in general, to just get a piece of metal, call it gold, do training for hours and hours daily; and we think that to get the Highest, we shall get it just like that?

The higher the goal, the higher the price....

And in this case, Wahiguru does not want big big words or hardships from us.

Only do more and more Simran of His Naam, and that also that much, that you cease to exist, and only He remains. And then when you taste the inner Amrit aslo, you will see by yourself that the 5 vikaars no more trouble you, you wil be filled withe divine qualities, such as : humility, contentment, detachment from maya:colors, forms, and the deadliest of them, lust, shall be overcome in a natural way, without any suppression, or any force, means effortless.... And then all this is noting, but a bakshish of His Daya Meher, for one just loving Him, through His Simran.

This the secret of Gurmat.

Sat Sree Akal.

VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

Boy, that was depressing.

It does change, and it is not just a list of chores you get to do daily as a burden.

The Amrit sanchar you are blessed with is based on the previous deeds of your life, any kamai of the past and Guru Sahib's/Akaal Purakh's grace on you, and what dedication and preparation you bring to Guru Sahib's darbar. There are those who have darshan of Guru Sahib in Amrit sanchars, those who achieve a state of never ending Simran, those who unlock their past kamai and pick up from where the left off previously, those who enter stages of bairaag and Anand in the Amrit Sanchar.

It is transformative, but it will also depend not only on the actions of your past but also the preparations of your present life. Gurbani is replete with references to getting Naam and Amrit and reaching high states of spirituality and Anand. Surely Gurbani does not lie. For some, it is simply a ceremony into Sikhi, for others it is life changing.

There are degrees of this change. Some will feel only the beginning of their journey that "something" has changed. Some have a gradual, subtle change in their life that opens itself up as time goes on, some are blessed in an instant. This is not an exclusive list and there are many in betweens and out of the scope of this list.

Brilliant and amusing post...HAHAHA.

OP - Anything is achievable, think of it like a profession you have to work at it very hard to be successful, in Sikhi you have no chance of knowing whether what you did is enough until you've done enough and realised the self.
