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.

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.

start learning proper rehitee things like shastar vidiya, archery, target shooting. also do sports.

Maybe find a dal or Shaunee who might do other things like shikaar.

Also go to sikhi camps.

Proactive lifestyle will help
