Feel like leaving it all

I am in my 30s, have a career that is just starting to  take off and quite ambitious. It is stressful but I have a good support system. 

Yet I feel like leaving it all and just meditating. I've noticed whenever i do start my meditation I become a little sad. As though this isn't my home. I start seeing the futility of it all.  I stop engaging with the world. My needs and wants are very less, if it weren't for family and the poor that I want to help I would be happy working at someplace like tescos. 

I need advise on how to deal with this detachment.

Guest leave jee,

answering your queries highlighted in blue in your post above, I would say, you have the right feelings about when you meditate, but you have not recognized them correctly, neither have you seen them in the real perspective.

For when you say the words "little sad", actually it is not that you become sad, rather by His grace you are becoming a bairagee.

Meditation on Wahiguru, can never ever make one sad, because, He who is the unlimited fountain of love and bliss, can only bless us with more and more love and happiness.

Suppose you are lost in a jungle, and you are finding a way out and suddenly you see a light from far away, which in the beginning seems a bit dim due to the distance, but as you go closer, the light seems much brighter, until you reach at that point where actually you reach and see everything clearly and you know then where to move and reach your home.

in a similar way, if one meditates on Wahiguru, slowly and slowly, all positive qualities such as truthfulness, bairaag, nimrata, faith, love, mercy...start filling our being, so brother/sister, whoever you are, be positive and thank Him for being so meharvaan on you, for blessing you with such virtues, with just your initial  petty efforts.

You see,  about your description of your state when you meditate, you have to be grateful, for even yogis, tapsavees, do not achieve  what you have, even after extremely hardships,  or they leave their homes and families, and just look at yourself, while having a girastee life, yet you are detached. Like just as lotus flower, while being in the water, still has its face towards the Sun.

Cheer up, and stay blessed.

Sat Sree Akal.

Thank you for taking the time out to reply.  I am not worthy of being a bairagee. Just appreciative that Waheguru is giving me a chance to jap.  By nature I get attached to people and animals very quick  and have emerged  out of a  very unstable life, so I am unsure of what this might be. Hopefully not a mental condition!

What I am able to feel is that we are all one and that Waheguru is the start, middle and end.

    • 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.
