Bhai Gurdas ji Vaar In Satyug, Visnu in the form of Vasudev is said to have incarnated and ‘V’ Of Vahiguru reminds of Visnu. The true Guru of Dvapar is said to be Harikrsna and ‘H’ of Vahiguru reminds of Hari. In the the Treta was Ram and ‘R’ of Vahiguru tells that rembering Ram will produce joy and happiness. In Kalijug, Gobind is in the form of Nanak and ‘G’ of Vahiguru gets Govind recited. The recitations of all the four ages subsume in Panchayan i.e. in the soul of the common man. When joining four letters Vahiguru is remembered, The jiv merges again in its origin. ... Modern scholars, however, affirm that the name Vahiguru originated with the Gurus, most likely it was first uded by the founder of the faith, Guru Nanak, himself. (www.sikhiwiki.org)

Thanks jkvlondon.

Hello everyone, Hope everyone is well. I have been well. Something in me try's to avoid doing God's will. It might be fear. I think it is. How can this be overcome?

Thanks for your replies.

Hello, Thanks for that bhenji. Two days ago, I looked at bad stuff again. Maybe I don't respect GuruJi enough. What should I do?

Thanks luckysingh99. I make sure now to keep in good company (go to the gurdwara, i have hobbies with sangat and remember that you are better off by yourself than in bad company). I just wish i was wiser in the past and kept to the goal.

Hello all, I want to know why I am not surrendering to GuruJi 100% and how I can do this? (Do everything GuruJi says - full rehit).

Thanks for the video. I think to evoke god's love is a good reason to get up at amrit vela. I wanted to ask, what is the significance of having a mahapursh's darshan? Why are sikhs told to have the darshan of a mahapursh/ keep having darshans of a mahapursh?

Hello all, Happy Diwali to you. Yesterday I was with my paath class and was told that some mahapurkhs get their sleep in a blink of their eyes and puran mahapurkhs don't sleep at all. I can help sleeping. It's something I want to do when I'm tired. I am on track. I need motivation to do all of my nitnem though (5 morning bania). Can somebody post something so that we can all be inspired to do full amritvela? I don't keep full rehat and I need inspiration to do so (all 7 bania and ardas). I don't have motivation to do ardas daily. When I read bani my concentration is not right. I read it but I don't think I take it in. Any helpful words for me and others anyone?

What field of work do you want to work in?

Hello, Yes, I was back on track today.I definitely don't want to go without Guru Ji's blessings for a day, if the days have been this positive so far. I don't want to waste this life.

Hello, I woke up too late in amrit vela today so I didn't have ishnan but utilised the little time I had. I have been productive for the last few days. Working on my ambition and also being helpful to family. My mentality feels better and I am feeling life. As well as not lost. I really want to wake up every day for enough time at amrit vela. So I will be disciplined. Early to be early to rise. I didn't do ardas last night and was aiming to stay up until 1, but when it was close to 2 I was about to start ishnan but I thought I would wake family members. So I went to sleep but ended up sleeping too much, through my alarm. If I did ardas it could have been otherwise. But tonight I will make sure I do ardas. Talking here really affects my day/night. This is good sangat for me, definitely. It helps me and then it helps others through my actions. 3 out of 6 of my family members are amritdhari, including me. It would have been better if all were. I've seen near relatives suffer because of their moving away from sikhi.

Hello, Bless you everyone. _Sat_ I will try.

If you're interested in the website it's gsswebdevelopment.com. It's time to go to bed. Speak to you later.

Hello everyone, I didn't stay up until 1am this morning and then do bhagti. I went to sleep and then woke up at 4am. I had a good day though today. Yesterday when I got back from volunteering I began developing my own website and today I would say I have a website. I have been developing the website where I volunteer and am going to pursue a career in web development. I learnt web development at university. I developed a website and I feel good about it. It felt good to be productive. Being productive is cool. I love this lifestyle. Being on SikhSangat.com has helped me tremendously as you can see. I like when people tell me straight like _Sat_ did. It helps to keep talking on this website.

Harsharan000, I know you were refering to bhenji. But it is my responsibility to love all. I meant that to everyone. Today I did Jaap Sahib also. Also I was volunteering today and someone met me afterwards who was interested in me doing work for his daughter. We exchanged contact details and I will contact her. I've been working all evening to reach my goal. Sometimes I felt inspired, sometimes I didn't but I kept working. So I am quite happy with how today has gone. I am feeling motivated to walk the path though.

You're right harsharan000, it is my turn not to let you down.

Hello everybody, I did ardas yesterday after Kirtan Sohila and I got up at amrit vela. I did simran and Japji Sahib. I am going to keep going and hopefully I will keep on increasing what I do. I have been motivated by what bhenji said about life becoming awesome just by waking up at amrit vela. I will hold on to that. Early to bed, early to rise. I also want to keep talking on this website as it has helped, so please let's keep talking to each other and motivate each other.

You guys take care too. It's nearly my new bedtime. Speak to you soon.

Hello Bhenji, I will do ardas tonight to get up tomorrow at amrit vela. If life can become awesome just by getting up at amrit vela everyday it is worth it. You didn't sound mean when you said take it to the brain. I had read somewhere that a person gets into trouble when they don't use their brain. That was in my head when I was replying. May Waheguru bless you too.

Hello bhenji, UsernameTaken. Today I did realize my failings. Also deep down I know what I should be doing. Amrit vela, 5 bania. It's my own loss. I need to change my mind set. I want more will power. I make sure I'm in bed before 12. Yesterday I made my mother aware of the problem. So now she is aware. I can't believe I look at women in that way. I haven't for days and it has been ocassionally. It's true I don't let my feelings out, well I speak to my mother about my issues mostly. I've been trying to do good deeds. I need to use my brain yep. Now, how am I going to keep getting up at amrit vela. I need motivation. It just doesn't work on my mind. Maybe I need to let it work on my mind, I don't know. But thanks for your reply. I like it when I recieve helpful replies and would like to spend time on this site and see if I can help others too.

@simran345 Hi, I haven't done my bloods for a long time and haven't got the ones they normally don't check done for longer i think. Years. I will get them checked. I definitely think I should early to bed early to rise. I think I would like to change my mentality. I did have some counselling where I gained information on different thoughts you have and how to change them. Thanks, I feel I have achieved some things, just wish I was a better person? They said if I needed counselling I could go and see them again. I know this is LIFE, I feel stuck in my head. @Mehtab Singh Thanks, I will try that. I think that's a good idea. I'll try it in my room, safest option :biggrin2: @savinderpalsingh I do look at Facebook and get the impression that people show off. I don't think Facebook is a good thing. It's not sensitive. I sometimes feel like I'm desiring dopamine in my head. I think I would be way better off without this desire. @Wingz23 Thank you very much. :smile2: Thank you all.

Thank you very much satgyanpujari and harsharan000 for your replies. I will read them again.

Hello, I need help. I am a bad sikh. I don't work at the moment. I am on employment and support allowance which is for people who are unfit for work. I am claiming this at the moment for my mental health problem. I am only volunteering a couple of days a week. If I am honest, I don't want to work. I don't know what's wrong with me. I am apparently sad and weird which I believe is true. I sit at home and read stuff on the internet about religion and don't do anything productive. I find life hard. I am lazy. I can't face my problems like a man. I avoid being responsible. I wish I was one of the winners in life who everybody loved but it feels like people want to stay away from me. I don't talk much. I feel down and negative and angry. I am a coward. I used to walk with my head down. I now have been keeping it up. I had a good start in life, I think. I had alot going for me like I went to grammar school, then I got into Birmingham University to do computer science, but I couldn't handle it so I took a year out. I then worked at HSBC but didn't like it. I stayed there until I was going to begin Business computing and IT at Aston University. I don't think many people liked me at HSBC. I went to Aston and my four year course took me six years. It included a placement year which I messed up. I was running out of time to get a placement and a friend of mine who was my age was beginning a business. He helped me out and gave me an unpaid placement. It was a poor placement. I did the final year of university and left with a lower second. I am 30 years old. I finished university in 2009. I did some internships, voluntary work, then some paid warehouse work and now I am volunteering again. I think my personality is not strong. I am not proud of myself of the 'sikh' I am. I feel hopeless. I can't man up. I took amrit when I was 20 but I did not stick to rehat. I did read bani and study at university, etc but was not firm in rehat, i.e amrit vela. I even did kurehats of eating meat and trimming my beard. I now keep my beard and am vegetarian since ages. I read Japji Sahib after I wake up which is at 8am, and I read rehiras and do sohila before bed. However I am a lustful person who looks at bad stuff on the internet. But less than before. Today I felt so crap. I think I get angry when I have to do some work. It just seems so hard. I did ardas recently. I tried from the bottom of my heart to ask for the right things, just what it says in ardas and to keep me from the five evils. I also said to waheguru to bless me so that I always thirst for his darshan. I read at a gurdwara that Guru Ji encourages us to make this plea to waheguru so I try to do it from the bottom of my heart whenever I do ardas. I am a dull loser. I feel like I've been lost since I was young. I have no vision or dream. Can't see the positive side of life, or the good in life. I hate myself. I have a rubbish personality. I'm mentally weird. I want to look at bad stuff late into the night. What was the point of me? I am ashamed of whatever I am. Can anyone help?
