Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Im in my final year of university, and have my exams coming up. I feel like i'm under so much pressure, i sleep like 3am then wake up around 10am, but it takes me a while to do my Japji sahib and listen to the rest of Nitnem, so I spend round about 2 hours in the morning doing path. I have breakfast at like 1pm then.

I finding no peace doing path all i can think about is study. Japji Sahib i just keep stopping in between and takes me about 45 minutes to complete, the same with Rehras Sahib. I currently don't any simran, i find it hard to make the time. When I listen to the rest of my Nitnem, i just feel like im sitting here so I can say I done it. When doing Rehras Sahib ji, i start feeling sleepy and again i feel like nothing went in.

I don't know why, I can never do path properly. One reason could be my health I'm severely underweight know as food keeps getting stuck in oesophagus and i'm waiting to get tests done.

I've been told many times just to do simran, but they guilt of not doing Nitnem gets to me. I don't what bania to do shall i just do a Japji Sahib and simran in the morning for an hour and a bit or shall i continue. Also is it ok if i listen to Rehras sahib, and recite along.

Please forgive me if i said anything wrong. Thanks in advance

Guru pyario, everything happens in Waheguru's will.

There are many stresses in the human form of life. Our natural instinct is to worry about these day-to-day things.

Just remember this life we are living is fake. Only Waheguru is real.

If Waheguru wants you to ace your exams, it will happen. Do not stress.

Going for a walk is a good way of de-stressing. If you can incorporate a few errands, then all the better. Breathing in the outside air, observing the world in motion, etc, it reminds us how small we are, and it allows us to keep our own lives in perspective, relative to everything around us. Breathe it all in. You'll feel better for it.

The above advise it good, and if you want to do paath, do it while you're walking around doing what u have to do in the morning. Sing it or do it in a way that you are able to continue with your life.

Life cannot stop because u have to sit and do paath, that's not what life is about, it's about Truthful Living- not just sitting and meditating all day. Do that, work during the day, excercise in the early eve, 6-7 and meditate(and study if u have to) in the evenings.

During studies, when u lay down to sleep, do a personal ardas, relax your body, and let go.

I try doing that, but the guilt really gets to me if i don't sit down and listen to a bani I did not do, I end up being even more stressed. But i went to the Gurdwara today, and the person briefly talked about the importance of Nitnem, and now i'm unsure what to do.

But then I should be doing my path with love so it starts being sweet to me, but currently i'm finding it really hard.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
