Revision history [back]

You don’t need to feel guilty or angry at yourself for studying, or not doing paath constantly or with full concentration. That’s how it is sometimes in life. I think you sound really stressed out and what you need is to find a way to relieve your stress. Maybe sit in sangat at the Gurdwara, talk to a friend, do things to take care of yourself etc. It is hard to focus on anything when you are in such a condition. Eat well, take care of your body. God will take care of your family and all your affairs, let that burden go. Waheguru watches over us. I like to remind myself that whatever happens, no matter how bad it seems, it is going to be just fine. You don’t need to be afraid of the results of this exam, just do your best. When we are stressed we do get angry at people and have a short temper, families understand that. You love them and they know it. Don’t feel bad about yourself. There is no need to fight the anger, just accept that sometimes it is coming and that you are slowly working to decrease this through your prayers. Do the prayers when you can, in that second you feel you must remember God, think Waheguru in that moment, and finish up your work. Be patient and the mind will come under control, don’t worry about it happening right away. This is a very hard thing to manage.
