Sikhi Trouble

Sangat ji,

I need your help. It been eight months since I have been blessed with amrit. Everything was going just great until a few months ago. For some reason my Sikhi has started to go down and I don't know why. I still do simran, go to the gurdwara daily, listen to kirtan regularly, and do my nitnem but I just can't concentrate. It's like my mind just doesn't want me to concentrate on SIkhi. Maybe my Sikhi's going down because I'm with sangat less these days because of school and work. Also, I have started to get angry very easily these days and I'm having a really hard time controlling it. I have done ardas many times but it has not gotten any better. I'm just wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing that I'm going through and if so, what did you do to fix it.

singh...it happens to the best of us..

the important thing is to keep plugging away..keep doing ardaas.. you're nothing! you aren't going to accomplish anything in life unless you ask Guruji to help you.. so ask him to help you.

i've been there... heck, maybe i'm still there i can't entirely tell... but as long as you learn from it, then these "down times" can be very beneficial too....to help us learn about things from a bit of a different perspective.

if any one baani really catches your mind...jus keep doing it over again..like for me, for example, i love love love love anand sahib... some of the poetry and the meanings are jus beautiful to me.....sometimes i'll do anand sahib 5 times in a day, jus cuz... it's the one paath i can kinda connect with when i'm down... and it helps... it's all about rebuilding the connection, and trying to keep it strong...

some people will offer advice on jus doing as much paath as you possibly can... and that's excellent advice for alot of people..but i know for me..sometimes just "doing as much" as i can doesn't help me feel the building of a connection, as when i concentrate on one particular baani, and take as much outta that as i possibly can and then work from there.....

but that's just my input singh.. don't get TOO down about it..it does happen to almost all of us, where we get into a sikhi rut..sometimes it's hard to get outta it... but no matter how many times you've done ardaas, it's not enough, clearly! so keep doing! and keep putting faith in guruji!

you'll be fine

I totally agree with Japman, it does happen to all of us at one time or another, I find in addition to ardaas, sometimes go back and reflect on the reason you took amrit in the first place, like your favorite bani and look a little bit deeper to rekindle the light.

I know that it might be difficult, but Waheguroo will help you in the end.
