it is very difficult to say whether washing the floor of Gurudwara with diluted milk is ਮਨਮਤ or not as Sikh Rehat Maryada is quiet on the issue. it a tradition that in Darbar Sahib Amritsar the floor vis washed with diluted milk . I remember when my son was born my mother in law insisted that he be bathed with diluted milk and not with soap . When I reasoned that the baby was in diapers all the time he must be bathed with a good quality germicidal soap, she told me thatmilk was a very good cleansing agent and that I need not worry on that account. I believe that this belief must be behind the tradition of washing floor of a place which is visited by countleess people every day bringing all kinds of germs with their feet. A knowledgeable person may be able to throw light on the basis of this belief.
Sikhism advocates a life of Sehaj, a balanced life that promotes all round well being of a person. Hard work that kills or burns one out is no recommended even in the spiritual field.: ਮਨਹਠ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਉਪਾਵ ਥਕੇ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਇ। One should work hard honestly and lead a life of contentment.

This means that tthey are not truly husband and wife who live together physically. They are truly married who live a soulful life together and evolve themselves to the extent where are truly United. It is also said that no man is complete in himself, neither is a wan is complete in herself. Together they make a whole. Aim of life is attain wholeness.
According to Sikh thought attaining wholeness and living a full socially useful life to elevate oneself spiritually is the aim of life. Lesbian and gay relationship is not in sync with the ultimate purpose of life as per Sikh teachings. Only a man and a woman can create a family ਗ੍ਰਿਹਸਤ, which has been called the best ਧਰਮ। ਸਕਲ ਧਰਮ ਮਹਿ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਸਤ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਹੈ। Gay marriages are based only on one mission which to satisfy the urge for lust. Any marriage limited to such an aim does not find favour with Sikh ideals even when it is marriage between a man and a woman.
Cultivating godlike qualities by way of nam simran is being one with God. ਜੈਸਾ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਤੈਸੋ ਹੋਇ says Gurbani. Living life while remaining in tune with will of God is being one with His Will, hence being one with Him.
