LOL where is the rest of the Shabad? you think taking a paragraph that is seen as postive can be used in a sly manner? think again.

OP. there is nothing wrong in having some leisure time, it's permitted as long as you don't fall deep into it and resorting into manmatt ways.

Gurbani have same literal meaning but it always have different interpretation. Sincerely I have no mentality to misuse the gurbani. I interpreted the shabad as i think. Because I am just a beginner of sikhi I may be found myself wrong in the future when I will go some deeper (If God grace).

OP. there is nothing wrong in having some leisure time, it's permitted as long as you don't fall deep into it and resorting into manmatt ways.

I think you don't have leisure time to read my earliear post in this thread,my brother!

Pedro since i was a kid i was never able to play shooter games. Not because I didn't have a warrior spirit, but because i got nauseous and a headache after playing for 10-20 minutes.

Only Singh- i agree

[KhalistaniGunMan]

of course we are allowed to game...like pedro i see shooter games as a tool to prepare ourselves for yudh....for example on battlefiled 2 (probably the most realist shooter out there) you have to have teamwork, good knowledge of the where the enemy is going to attack and learning how to cover your flanks, rear and how to properly cover yourself around corners....also it gets us used to the sound of bullets and explosions...everytime i kill a dusht i shout out a jakara...me and a veer of mine sometimes mute the volume and start doing sri chaupai sahibs paaths and sri chandi di vaar paths whiile we fire from our guns and lob grenades...in the future as games get more and more realistic..battle will become almost real..even if it doesnt compare to real war and battle now...its a start..it does condition our mind to some extent

[Beginner]

playing games where you shoot people and fight wars are good as it strengthens the warrior spirit and conditions our minds for yudh. A good exercise is to do simran loudly whilst playing the shoot em up as it will also develop bir raas.

However, other games such as social type games are a waste of time as they promote kaam and greed.

I'm doing it...this is gonna be fun

I bought MW2 with the ps3 around 2 years ago (only game i have) for ps3 because i thought i overcame my childhood nausea/headaches i get from play games like that. It first started with golden eye but i never got it with other games like tony hawk pro skater 2. Anyways, i've played online a few times with friends but after that i just stopped playing completely.

Never really bothered to figure out why this happens to me.
