    Wasting Time?

    Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! How to control wasting time on useless stuff and focus on building productivity in Gurmat or personal things? Sometimes, I genuinely feel like I could do something so much more; however, it all gets wasted away in stuff that I don't really need or think other people need, (this website being one example, where it just seems like debates and nobody really learns anything). Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
  2. WjkK WjkF Sangat ji, I wanted to know what happens to the soul when someone dies, does it stay to wonder through relative does it with draham raj? Answer with references to gurbani pls, as I have log conversations with some Singhs with lots of opinions.
  3. I hope this doesn't sound strange or delusional to any one reading this. Maybe there are other people out there like me, who "know " things, or "see"things, without trying. I am a very spiritual person , who does not know how to read Gurbani, but deeply believes in the true Sikh way of life. I believe you should care for all human beings and try to help and show compassion for them. I was born in England, and raised in Canada. We used to attend the Gurdwara every weekend, when we were children, with my parents. I am an adult 47 year old woman now. I used to see auras in University. I didn't know what was happening, so I mentally blocked it , as it would take tremendous amounts of energy from me, and I needed to focus on my university studies( specializing in Political Science at the University of Toronto). After many years , I started noticing that I just "knew " things. Random things, such as who would be on the phone, before it rang, or very coincidental things of a very unbelievable nature, at times. I started to think I had some type of psychic ability. Now, I understand, its not psychic ability, but rather spirituality. Long story short, this weekend I was at the shopping mall with my 12 year old daughter, and when I turned back to look for her, I thought I saw an image of Guru Nanak Dev Ji on a Christmas poster. Then I turned away, and looked back again, and again I saw the same image , with Guru Nanak Dev Ji holding his hand up at me, with a halo around his head. The third time I looked back and saw my daughter, and I told her she might think this is weird, but I think I saw Guru Nanak Dev Ji. As soon as I told her, and looked back again, the image was gone. My daughter coincidentally believed me, as we've had many psychic type events happen to us, including my other 2 children. My daughter said she also saw Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the poster. Before we arrived at the mall, I had the thought of Guru Nanak Dev Ji flash across my mind. What does this mean, and is this real or possible? Has anyone else also experienced this? Outwardly I am not religious at all, but I am deeply spiritual inside, and everyday I pray to my 2 pictures of Guru Nanak dev Ji, and Guru Gobind Singh Ji, which are hung in my living room.
  4. I feel I can be close to God but I am very far off so I might be a Gurmukh in my next life? What can I do to be with Waheguru when I am destined for reincarnation?
  5. If you went to bed one night and the next morning you woke up as your old three year old self in your old bedroom when you were three years old but you had you same intelligence of your adult self plus the memories. If this happened and you had a chance to relive your life, would you relive it in the sense that you would make sure that you never made the same mistakes in the past plus doing things you regretted never doing?

  10. How does karma effect the pain we will go through in our lifetimes? If one experiences a lot of physical pain and emotional pain in their lives does that mean that they have a lot of bad karma?
  11. Hi, I've seen a few topics around about people being depressed and I realise a lot more people may feel like that too but don't want to talk about it. If you have anything you want to talk about that's on your mind that's got you feeling depressed or worried post it and I and hopefully other people will try to give you advice. You're not alone, we are Sikhs and we look out for one another. Peace
  12. What if I say that I don't want anything not even my soul to exist in any form and wants to die.i just want to quit this is too much difficulty and weird for me I mean 84lakh just for one human life.we are already in a hell.Also it's too difficult to reach god.I am ok with one single life and after that a complete death but instead I am stuck here forever.I wish my soul never existed in first place
  13. I've heard that death is pre-destined. And I've also heard that one can increase one's years of life by yoga which many did according to our history. They simply slowed down their breathing and thus lead a longer life. Is this true? Does this mean that life is actually dependent upon number of breaths and if so time does not play a big part since it's up to you to decide how long you want to take to breathe each breath. Are there any quotes in Guru Granth Sahib ji on the matter? Thank you
  14. I mean we don't remember anything in afterlife.Also being animals doesn't look bad to me.Wild animals looks more happier than some humans also nothing to worry about if you are just a small virus.We probably wasted billions of lives so why not another one.

  16. My pagh taddi, 0 fikkar, still at uni Tell me about your wisdom
  17. I have been grappling a problem in my brain for the past 2 days. I have lost all interest in doing anything, whatès the point of doing anything in life, if there really is no way it is going to remain, or if the whole point of life is to remember god. Why did god create us in the first place..
  18. Few days back.... I got one question in my mind How does a person react if he is growing in spirituality... that is for sure that with reciting the name you are enhancing your spiritual power, but how can you judge it. I feel changes in myself a lot many times and I even feel relaxed and satisfied with my self.. a kind of peace is developing... Is it this, the sign of Spiritual growth? and yes i feel more relaxed while doing simran as compared to doing path.. this happened few days back.. Can anyone help me out to understand this situation?
  19. The writer Giani Pritam Singh ji Mastana studied in a Missionary college and was a firm missionary. He was strictly against Sant mahapursh especially against Nanaksar. But in this book he explains how he got surrendered himself to Sant Isher Singh ji Kalerawale. Every time he would visit nanaksar to argue with Sant ji but his missionary logical arguments would vanish without Sant ji even utterring a word to him. It was just the way Sant ji used to look at him and he used to feel ashamed and guilty. And all this would happen without any conversation. The book answers all the questions that missionaries put against sikhi and sants. http://jsks.biz/ishwar-darshan-giani-pritam-singh-ji-mastana A must read. A very very beautiful book, full of love. Unfortunately, the book is not available in pdf form to download online. Please do buy.
  20. Im only 17 and my parents are looking at rishta for me already..well people keep phoning and arsking for me its annoying. another thing is these people want to get there sons/grandsons or whatever married in the next year..so that means when im 18 basically. i keep on telling my family its too early to think about marriage as i want to focus on my career and live lifee...not make rotis and settle down and overthink what i could of done its very annoying as my family dont consider that..and say just loook...but once you look more goes into the matter. i feel like running away man..like i dont get along with my mum..she P****s ME off big time and my bro just wants me out the house so he can have the house to himself lol, he dont care about nothing. what i look for in a rishta is that click when you set eyes on eachother first, although i'd be shy to look straight to his eyes BUT also personality, goals..ambitions, if his reliable and looks..kind of but his personality should overshine that and his relaibility. i dont know if im being selfish..but my bro is older then me so they really should consider doing his first also i hate the age gaps. for me i'd personally choose 2-3 yrs but not 5-6.. which my parents are considering cos they have that age gap between them but then again that was there decadeee!!! i heard the bigger the age gap the better but i dont know.. if you know why that is please state. In my head i work it out as if i was in school again aha me being in yr7 and they'd being in yr 12 YUCK!!! also i dont want to go far but my parents are like the futher the better for you :| LOL! my dad is unwell.. but like i guess if i keep thinking that and force myself into marriage and it doesnt work out that be my excuse which is petty.

  23. If so how? ..... How do you personally react around people who dress a bit lazy (e.g. sweat pants, patka) compared to someone dressed a bit more professionally (e.g. suit, tie, damalla)?

    Something for all of you...

    I have been feeling this way and I need to get it out of my chest. To start off, I'm a 20 year old girl who's recently just started loving my religion, Sikhi. I had to experience a major downlow in my life for me to have my eyes truly opened and get my head out of this life, all this illusion..However, I did make mistakes in my past which I took self-pity for over 1.5 years and then I realized "that's it..I can't sit here and be sad anymore, Guru Sahib has already forgiven me". I am now starting to understand that my past actions are in the past - and whatever I have done wrong (which btw were A LOT OF THINGS!) ..I have to simply let go. Now, I read a few posts on here about people that went the same wrong path as me and realized how badly they messed up and were asking for forgiveness. However, I came across RUDE people that told them "oh well, you should've known better" or "Well, thats what you get by doing that, or doing this", etc etc etc...The list goes on. I just want to let everyone know - and I mean EVERYONE - cause I know all of you have made mistakes..that it is okay to make mistakes. Some are bigger than others, but as long as YOU can feel it in your whole body and soul that you were wrong and you ask with a pure heart for an apology to God...he has already forgiven you my friend <3 The hardest part is not too get forgiveness from babaji (because let me reassure you that he already has forgiven you), sometimes it's about forgiving ourselves for what we have done. It is not easy to let go of our past mistakes and the past can be such a heavy burden to hold on too every day of our lives but I realized that life is just that - life. Don't take it too seriously...you're here for ONE thing and that is to go back home. Your time is NOW - not the past, not the future but right here, right NOW. If you can truly feel your unconditional love for God NOW then nothing else matters. Do good things NOW - don't repeat your mistakes NOW - Love God NOW...it's all about right now (hopefully, i've said now enough to make you guys understand hahaha) I just made this post because I know a lot of you are seeking some kind of comfort from your past..or something "bad" you did yesterday. No one else is gonna give you comfort besides our guru sahib <3 you have to feel the love flowing in your body for him and that is how you know your life is slowly changing..Go recite some bani, spend some 'alone' time with babaji, etc.. All I know is I'm not the same girl I used to be a year ago. Living in a westernized society, I made mistakes (boyfriends, intimacy) and even though God has always been there for me, I am beginning to truly see him. He's always been within me, I was just so caught up with illusionary stuff that I forgot to look inside of me, my heart, my soul. Okay this is getting super long (and I need to get back to studying lol) but I just wanted to write this out to everyone who needed to hear a positive thought today. God is there for you, he is NOT mad at you...we're all his children and he's seeing us fall and stand back again and one day..we will be back at our true home. For now, hang in there <3 Life is too precious - our Gurus have given us this life because we are one step closer to God..let's take this chance, yea? and to all those mean people trying to make people feel bad about their mistakes...STOP. You are not superior to anyone - we are all here as equal's. Let's offer guidance to those that need it & love everyone. Wow, I'm sorry for sounding like Mother Teresa =P but hopefully, this makes sense and I'm sorry if I said anything wrong.
  25. Saadh sangat ji, Are there any examples in history where the life of person can be increased with Gurbani . Or its not possible at all. I know that Guru Sahib are capable of doing anything but i want to know if thats possible or not. Quite a few months ago i am geeting weired feeling that i will die soon. I am bit wooriied not because i will die but whatwill happen to my mother and wife. On the top of that i was installing the astrology software and based on me and my wife Kundli . It says wife is manglink and there is a possibility of death of one of us. So i think now i have very less chance to deny the fact. Although Gursikhi denies the Kundli and Kundli can't be 100% correct. But i think its better to accept the truth rather than waiting for miracle to happen. So i was thinlking provided i have less time. is there any way to incrrease it or not
