    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh piyario!

    I was in the same situation a couple months back. But a Piyari Penji helped me out! :) This is what she said to me, and with Guru Sahibs Kirpa been following the instructions! Hope this helps! :)

    WaheguruJeeKaKhalsa,WaheguruJeeKiFateh!

    Getting back on track when you're at a low isn't always easy or quick, but joo can do it! I've found that starting with small steps can help...if you're struggling even with basic nitnem, then going all-out all of a sudden won't work in most circumstances. But pleaseeee don't let go of your nitnem. Missing even a single day will lead to more weaknesses and troubles down the road, so as hard as you may find it to stick with it right now, it's essential and you'll get nowhere without it.

    Maybe start by waking up just half an hour earlier, doing simran and nitnem, and then add a few extra short baanis to begin. Try Shabad Haazaray, Basant Ki Vaar and Raamkali Ki Vaar. This won't add too much time to your schedule, but it's a small start that will get your motor rolling again. Slowly increase time-wise and the number of baanis from there...this could be over the course of a few weeks or a month or whatever. Once you've added these to your nitnem, start doing these (or other) extra baanis in the morning AND at night.

    Another suggestion is to start a sehaj paath. Having daily darshan of Gurbaani is important, and doing a sehaj paath will also give you a sense of accomplishment. The spiritual benefits are obvious too. You could set a daily target like even just 10 angs per day to start. This is a good tool for times when you're low as you'll be setting a pattern, slowly attaching yourself to baani, and you'll see the change in how you're feeling from when you start to the middle to the bhog.

    The balancing act of managing career, family, friends, etc. with Sikhi is just a matter of discipline really. As long as you keep Sikhi on top of everything else, in addition to being intertwined with everything else, then you should be good to go. Basically, amritvela is a must. Without it, your whole day is already off to a bad start. If waking up at 2 - 2:30 is extremely difficult for you, even aiming for 4am is okay. Without these early morning hours being dedicated to naam and baani, you can consider your whole day a waste. This is what I've been told by Gursikhs and it rings true in my own experience as well. So once you've got amritvela going, career, family, friends...everything just falls into place itself. Having Gursikh sangat is also important as they can help keep Sikhi front and centre.

    Sadly, there's no "quick-fix" to getting back on track that I'm aware of, but with effort and discipline, it can be done. All of this will help create a "shield" around you and all the negative comments, self-doubt, etc. will bounce right off it without even touching you.

    Just try to make SOME small positive change, ONE small positive step and then all the right things will start falling into place and you'll be back on track in no time. Hope this helps!

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

    Hey everyone!

    I've been really confused about the following shabad:

    hm Avguix Bry eyku guxu nwhI AMimRqu Cwif ibKY ibKu KweI ]

    ham avagun bharae eaek gun naahee a(n)mrith shhaadd bikhai bikh khaaee ||

    I am overflowing with sins and demerits; I have no merits or virtues at all. I abandoned the Ambrosial Nectar, and I drank poison instead.

    mwXw moh Brm pY BUly suq dwrw isau pRIiq lgweI ]

    maayaa moh bharam pai bhoolae suth dhaaraa sio preeth lagaaee ||

    I am attached to Maya, and deluded by doubt; I have fallen in love with my children and spouse.

    ieku auqm pMQu suinE gur sMgiq iqh imlµq jm qRws imtweI ]

    eik outham pa(n)thh suniou gur sa(n)gath thih mila(n)th jam thraas mittaaee ||

    I have heard that the most exalted Path of all is the Sangat, the Guru's Congregation. Joining it, the fear of death is taken away.

    iek Ardwis Bwt kIriq kI gur rwmdws rwKhu srxweI ]4]58]

    eik aradhaas bhaatt keerath kee gur raamadhaas raakhahu saranaaee ||4||58||

    Keerat the poet offers this one prayer: O Guru Raam Daas, save me! Take me into Your Sanctuary! ||4||58||

    How do you love someone, but not to the point where you're emotionally attached to them?

    I got that off a friend, but never started it lol. It was back when I was looking to get into working out. What are the workouts like and how long are they?

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

    the one i'm working on right now is the "ab ripper x" and is about 17 mins long. It very very very intense. You'll probably ache a lot the first few days, but you'll notice it working after the first try.

    Edmonton Sangat would like to invite everyone to Edmonton to attend a Raensabaee Keertan on December 6th. There will be 2 buses leaving from Martindale Gurdwara Sahib at 1:00pm. Buses for the Raensabaee will leave at 1:00pm sharp from Martindale Gurdwara Sahib. One bus will depart at 12:00am from Edmonton back to Calgary and the other one will depart at 5:00am from Edmonton for those sangatan who want to stay for the entire rainsabaee. The fee will be $20 per person for the bus. This money will be given to the Edmonton Sangat as they are paying for the entire bus ride. The bus coming back at 12am may by full coming back so please have alternative transportation incase of that if you want to return at 12am. There is no longer need to register for the bus. It will be on a first come first serve basis. We apologize for all the changes and confusion.

    Waheguru Jee Kaa Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh

    In this book, in the first few pages, I came across this:

    Humble servant

    Baba Sarabjot Singh

    17th generation of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

    Guru throne of Baba Sahib Singh Ji Bedi

    Una Sahib (H.P)

    "Guru throne of Baba Sahib SIngh Je Bedi" what does this mean?

    Please explain to this ignorant fool.
