Well being emotional is not as bad as being heartless. I hope with time you understand to accept things in life.

Even if you wished it 100 feet under the earth or 1000 feet above in the sky, it would be listened to. God listens to you through you.

So what are you praying for?

2014-04-24 09:56:11 -0500 answered a question Hukam, Sikh Rehat Maryada

Hukam is understood through reading the Shabad. Maryada is our lifestyle in Hukam. So yes Maryada is our reflection of Hukam in temporal living.

2014-04-15 12:20:49 -0500 answered a question Insurance claim

Insurance claim is a safety catch against bad things in life. It is not as if you are looting someone in greed.

2014-04-15 12:19:46 -0500 answered a question Forehead tingling (Third eye area)

Rather than physical sensations, we must apply Gurmat to our actions and direction in life. That is true Kirpa!

2014-04-15 12:18:46 -0500 answered a question What Gurbani says on Pachtawa (Regret)?

Gurbani says that if we lose our human birth in pursuits of the mind, then we will end up repenting. The only way out is Simran and Sewa.

Guru Sahib never stopped any Sikh from doing any Paath.

2014-04-15 12:15:27 -0500 answered a question How to prakash Dasam Granth at home?

There is no requirement for Prakash/Sukhasan of Dasam Granth. It can be kept like Sundar Gutka or Amrit Keertan.

Veerji keep it open, have patience and let your hair grow back to their natural length. I too suffered from uneven beard but now all is fine. Guru Kirpa.

2014-03-22 10:17:06 -0500 answered a question about food

It's been more than 5 years that the practice at Nanded has been stopped.

No I guess not the struggles are wrong. But is it so hard to be right?

Till what time are you going to wait? How much more time you want? Time can soon turn to dust. Be quick my friend. We don't know when this dream would end and you will find yourself lost.

2014-03-22 10:13:35 -0500 answered a question Another sikhforum sites?

I think the issue is that there have been too many posts. There are not enough people to answer and mostly the question goes down and is lost in pages. Even you can help by picking up the unanswered question tab. I think this forum needs categories.

PS: try sikhphilosophy.net

Sadhna is an act of self meditations. Selfish act is one where you harm others for your own gain. There is big difference.

2014-01-20 10:32:22 -0500 answered a question Reasons for rehet

Rehat is like summary and life guidelines of the Gyan in Guru Granth Sahib. If you believe in Guru, you follow.

2014-01-20 10:29:44 -0500 answered a question Subconscious character

If you are comparing the happiness you get with kirtan to that of drinking, then you have not enjoyed Kirtan. If we are greedy with everything in life, why not be greedy with our happiness. Drinking would take us down a path where we will be lost. Kirtan would help us grow as a soul and find true happiness.

2013-12-29 12:40:19 -0500 answered a question Japji sahib

In India saying goes, that the forehead lines tell the future a person will have. Where as Guru Sahib says that a True person fashions the future on the forehead by their sweat - ie hard work and honesty.

Upjai is also synonymous with growth. So where love doesn't sprout, that place is not fit for cultivation of life. It is just like a cremation ground.

2013-09-25 09:58:25 -0500 answered a question Committing sin and not feeling regretful

You feel your life hasn't taken a turn by that one sin, or countless sins. You forget how each action affects your future. The vices blind you. There is no guilt and regret. You want to follow the right path but you don't follow it. The heart doesn't feel it is right. It will all go away in the end. What will be with you? The regret? Or the happiness?

2013-09-25 09:51:13 -0500 answered a question Does Naam Simran have to contain "Waheguru"?

It depends on what you think Naam Simran is? Is it about speaking Shabad? Or absorbing it? Living it? Is true simran just listening or doing?

2013-09-17 09:45:41 -0500 answered a question why women does not perform ritual duties in Darbar Sahib..Amritsar?

I am sorry @sat_mansimran ji! Guru Sahib has not taught us anything like that. There is no Sewa a woman cannot do! All teachings are for Sikhs, and they include each and every person. The issue of women not performing at historical Gurudwaras is more of the 'norm' problem and few women are coming forward to break it.

Guru Sahib talks about the powers but never 'names' them. He yearns for the Naam of Akaal Purakh. That is the most powerful force. May the Force be with you!

First of all stop complaining and realize your folly. It was your mistake you forgot your roots and went away from Sikhi. Don't blame other person. You are the actor in your own life. And only when you correct yourself, you can reconcile with Sikhi.

2013-08-31 03:44:42 -0500 answered a question motto of life

This is a very interesting question. Guru Sahib talks about it directly:

ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl:

ਭਲਕੇ ਉਠਿ ਪਪੋਲੀਐ ਵਿਣੁ ਬੁਝੇ ਮੁਗਧ ਅਜਾਣਿ ॥ Arising each day, you cherish your body, but you are idiotic, ignorant and without understanding.

ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਇਓ ਛੁਟੈਗੀ ਬੇਬਾਣਿ ॥ You are not conscious of God, and your body shall be cast into the wilderness.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਤੀ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗੁ ਮਾਣਿ ॥੧॥ Focus your consciousness on the True Guru; you shall enjoy bliss forever and ever. ||1||

ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਤੂੰ ਆਇਆ ਲਾਹਾ ਲੈਣਿ ॥ O mortal, you came here to earn a profit.

ਲਗਾ ਕਿਤੁ ਕੁਫਕੜੇ ਸਭ ਮੁਕਦੀ ਚਲੀ ਰੈਣਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ What useless activities are you attached to? Your life-night is coming to its end. ||1||Pause||

ਕੁਦਮ ਕਰੇ ਪਸੁ ਪੰਖੀਆ ਦਿਸੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਕਾਲੁ ॥ The animals and the birds frolic and play-they do not see death.

ਓਤੈ ਸਾਥਿ ਮਨੁਖੁ ਹੈ ਫਾਥਾ ਮਾਇਆ ਜਾਲਿ ॥ Mankind is also with them, trapped in the net of Maya.

ਮੁਕਤੇ ਸੇਈ ਭਾਲੀਅਹਿ ਜਿ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ॥੨॥ Those who always remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are considered to be liberated. ||2||

ਜੋ ਘਰੁ ਛਡਿ ਗਵਾਵਣਾ ਸੋ ਲਗਾ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥ That dwelling which you will have to abandon and vacate-you are attached to it in your mind.

ਜਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਤੁਧੁ ਵਰਤਣਾ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ And that place where you must go to dwell-you have no regard for it at all.

ਫਾਥੇ ਸੇਈ ਨਿਕਲੇ ਜਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਪੈਰੀ ਪਾਹਿ ॥੩॥ Those who fall at the Feet of the Guru are released from this bondage. ||3||

ਕੋਈ ਰਖਿ ਨ ਸਕਈ ਦੂਜਾ ਕੋ ਨ ਦਿਖਾਇ ॥ No one else can save you-don't look for anyone else.

ਚਾਰੇ ਕੁੰਡਾ ਭਾਲਿ ਕੈ ਆਇ ਪਇਆ ਸਰਣਾਇ ॥ I have searched in all four directions; I have come to find His Sanctuary.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੈ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹਿ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਇਆ ਕਢਾਇ ॥੪॥੩॥੭੩॥ O Nanak, the True King has pulled me out and saved me from drowning!

2013-08-28 10:04:56 -0500 answered a question Bad thoughts

I don't know if I should share this or not. I was meditating and I kind of asked myself.. what's your name? For a moment I was so lost, I couldn't recall.

I believe some sort of detachment is necessary before you start doing Paath, and understanding Paath would help you the best!

2013-08-28 10:01:45 -0500 answered a question turban problems

Usually the cloth is of type Malmal and length can be around 6 metres.

My brother, please review your history. Trousers are as old as 4th Century, a 1000 years before First Nanak came. No piece of apparel is good or bad. But Sikhi comes when it chooses you.
