Gurfateh brother.

Thank you so much for your reply Bigcat13. Thanks for your care. I am genuinely happy that you are really happy.

Thanks Navdeep.

Yeah, should go to the gurdwara daily really. I need to silence my mind. I guess that's where the wisdom comes from. I think I should earnestly practice silencing my mind/simran.

I'm okay I suppose.

Thanks _Sat_.?

Thanks for the advice Dalbir Singb. I will go to the Jobcentre and ask if they can refer me to any organisation.

Apologies if I offended you _anon_.

Thanks a lot for your replies everyone. I haven't talked for a while. What I overheard when volunteering at the Nishkam Centre is that anything that stops us from doing what we are here to do is maya. I have thought about this and one thing I keep in mind now is something a friend once told me - put God first. I am so grateful for the time you each have given me to help me. I did become lost in Maya.

Keeping Kesh was a command for you out of Love. You think you know what's best for you better than Guru Gobind Singh? The man praised all over planet Earth? ?

Hello, Thanks for your replies. I want to be merged in God, free from fear, in bliss and not unconfident. I want to get rid of all the anxiety. Ultimately I want to be in bliss, merged in God.

Hello, I am just thinking. When we do paath without concentration what is thebenefit? I mean how does it help? Also how can one defeat the 5 chor, from a beginner level. I have to say whether I like it or not that I am not succeeding. I do find it hard to keep rehat. How can I succeed, i.e merge with God? Thank you for your replies.

I think i have some problem. Its like i live in my own world and dont understand the real world, whats going on. I'm always thinking. I have seen someone and they are refering me to Cbt

Hello everyone, I have stopped getting up at amritvela. Its been a while. I don't even know what I'm doing daily in my life. When I have to move forward, i.e. apply for a job - like today I just bottle out. I have always been gutless. I'm a loser. I can't believe how bad I am. My soul feels in dukh. My mind is always thinking weirdly. I want a life. I haven't got one. OK, I've got a family and stuff but I am unhappy inside. I am a born loser sadly. I wish I weren't who I am. I feel rubbish. Like a nobody. Everyone else in my family is happy - I think. They have lives. They've made something of themselves. I can't lift my self up. I don't think I am strong enough to break free. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've been a coward all my life. It's really sad. How do people do it. I'm a loser, a sinner. How can I move forward - it feel's intimidating and like a lot of work. I want to be a winner - i.e meet God at the end of my life. I just wish I was a Sikh that succeeded in life and - I just want to be happy and make everyone else happy. Deep down I wish everything was perfect - I do stupid things. I look at bad stuff now and then. It's like physically I can't get it together. I could never handle the real world. I'm a coward. One moment I'm thinking I want to meet God. The next minute I'm thinking of looking at bad stuff.

In SGGS Ji it says that without the sadh sangat you will not be satisfied. Also: Intuitive understanding, wisdom, cleverness, glory, beauty, pleasure, wealth and honor, all comforts, bliss, happiness, and salvation, O Nanak, appear by chanting the Name of God (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 1323). Kabeer says, you remember God in meditation only when the need arises. You should remember Him all the time. You shall dwell in the city of immortals, and the Lord shall restore the happiness you lost (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 1373).

Thanks BhenJi. I saw a video today that has had an impact on me and I want to share it. Please have a look at it everyone: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10203576250234046&pnref=story

Thanks alot for your replies. The voluntary work that i currently do is at the Nishkam Centre by Soho Road Gurdwara. Babaji from Soho Rd gurdwara is the chairman of the centre. I am currently responsible for the centre's website. I also go to paath classes at the gurdwara and tabla classes there. I have promised myself that my sangat is only ever going to be good company or none at all.Hopefully my destiny will be good. I just thought to myself why am i choosing dukh over sukh. I don't know.

Thanks hsingh8963. That was a good video. I feel I am spiritually weak. I am always thinking bad. I am always thinking of doing bad more than thinking of doing good. I don't do bad but it is a waste thinking bad isn't it. Also, if I am honest, something inside me doesn't want to follow truth. It feels like I will lose something. I know it's my ego but it is so strong. I want to be inspired to break free. My mind doesn't really get inspired.

I will make sure I get up tomorrow. Just wish I had the same motivation every day.

Thanks harsharan000. That is a very good post.

Okay, I'll drink lots of water. Can people please contribute to this thread why they get up at amritvela and what it gives them? So that we can all be inspired/motivated to do it. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. I put the alarm on for 1am last night and got up at 3am. The alarm didn't wake me but I got up and did amrit vela. I went to bed at 10pm last night. I will go to sleep about 9/9:30 tonight and put the alarm on for 1am again.

Thanks _Sat_

Hello all, for the last 2 days I haven't got up at amritvela. I have done ardas the night before and woken up by the alarm but then gone back to sleep. I have lost motivation. I don't know if I have the love for Guru Ji to be honest. I lack courage. Maybe your replies will help me? Please can you reply. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. I've been busy. My amrit vela is going well. Hopefully it has/will become a habit. What are the reasons you get up at amritvela? I have been getting up because it is the right thing to do and i enjoy this routine. How can I increase my desire for Waheguru? I read and listen to bani, do simran as well. When i read and listen to bani the words go into my head but during the reading and listening i don't really contemplate on it. How can a person always desire Waheguru? Develop a strong desire for Him? Once you have tasted Har Ras is there no going back? I would appreciate your replies.
