See lessThe Sakhis teach us to be good Sikhs. Does it matter whether they are true or not? What do you think?
If some Sakhies give good message to be a good person one should get the message. If a Sakhi makes you a Karamkandi (Ritualistic) and give message of Gurus being Karamati (Miracles) one should shun such Sakhies.

Once you are connected with God through spiritual knowledge and wisdom of the Guru, you will realize that everyone is born a Sikh (Student) and with hair and take Khande Bate Di Pahul (Amrit). Those who are egoistic that they are Amritdhari don’t have reached that state of spirituality because spiritual people are humble, not proud.

Guru says blessed are those Gursikhs who, with their ears (consciousness), listen and acts on the Guru’s teachings; their egotism and duality goes away. Now Guru has distinguished Sikh from Gursikh. Sikh only listens to the teachings while Gursikh acts upon those teachings, lives life accordingly and abandon egotism and duality.

According to the Old Testament, God commanded Moses to wear the turban as the symbol of prophet hood, holiness, and divine power. Prophet Muhammad used to wear Turban and said “The turban is a frontier between faith and unbelief ”. In India everyone used to wear turban till Moghul rule who as a sign of slavery ordered that only Moslems can wear turban, others will cover their head with a cap (Topy). Sikh Gurus opposed it and continued to wear turban. The Sikhs call their turban “Dastar”. It is also called “Pugri” or “Pag”. The Sikhs do not cut their hair. They tie their hair on the forehead in a knot called “Jurha”, and the turban is used to cover the hair. For Sikhs Dastar is a spiritual crown.

Our every single mundane activity should be an act of Seva, like giving seat to needy in the bus, helping someone cross the road, helping co-worker, coming home from work and helping wife in cooking and cleaning etc. That way one can be ambassador for Waheguru, an agent of truth and love.
