A great sikh called Bhai Gurdass Singh jee wrote:
'Peevoh pahul khanda da - hoe janam suhella . . . Vaho Vaho Gobind Singh apay Gur chela'.
'Drink the nectar of the Khanda - this life is then successfull Wonderful Wonderful Gobind Singh : Himself the Guru and the disciple'
Taking Amrit is so important in Sikhi that even Satguru jee took it from the punj pyare. Guru Gobind Singh jee was leading by example.
The Satguru jee is always merciful and forever helps all and everyone regardless of their caste, colour, religion etc. Satguru jee has been sent into the world to shine a light to dispell the dirt and the darkness.
So Satguru jee is always there to help and protect and to guide the disciple. If people turn their back to SatGuru jee then Satguru jee still waits for them day after day, year after year, life after life if need be. The Satguru jee is so great that if the person should turn his face to Satguru jee and take even one step to the Guru, then Satguru jee takes millions and millions of steps to welcome that blessed person: 'Charan Saran Gur ek painda ja-i chal, Satgur kot painda agay ho-i layth hai'
All people who take a step towards SatGuru jee are welcomed. This is regardless of having taken amrit or not. However, the person who takes amrit has taken a very big step towards Satguru jee, this person becomes even more special to Satguru jee. This blessed person has in effect said to Satguru jee : O Supreme Satguru jee, I trust you totally and utterly. I am a sacrifice to you, I give you my mind, body and wealth. I give You full control of my life. The Satguru jee in return gives you very precious gifts in return. For your mind there are the daily meditations, for your body there are the gifts of the 5Ks and as you give daswand (one tenth of the wealth God has entrusted to you) to Satguru jee the Great Guru will bestow all treasures upon you.
All people are loved by Satguru jee, if they take steps towards Satguru jee they are welcomed. If they take amrit they are very special. But we are in the age of Darkness (KalYug), even people who take amrit turn their back to Satguru jee. Satguru jee still waits for them. People who take amrit should never fall in to the trap of thinking they are better than anyone - they are servants of Satguru jee.
