Very well said veerji !
Houme nave nal virodh hai doi na rahe ik thaye ||
Through constant meditation and listening to Guru's amrit bani I'm trying to rid myself of my ego and have succeeded to some extent

All of our suffering is of our own making ! This dawned on me from within one of my deeper meditations.
Lets see how our mind gets caught up in meaningless , petty things and prevents us from enjoying life to the fullest
(i) Financial Suffering
Buy only what you need and what you want - limit your needs , helping a kid go to school for example will bring you much more happiness than buying the latest gadget .
The most stupid thing to try to do is to keep up with others and put up a show of wealth - its called rat race for a reason - rats start scrambling when they see one rat running , we have a more evolved brain - don't we ?
Learn to take pride in your simplicity and even boast about it and others around you will find themselves shamed about their showy/flashy ways.
(ii) Physical Suffering
Again almost all chronic diseases - obesity, cancer, heart disease, diabetes etc are a direct result of indulgence - consuming way more calories than our body was ever meant to handle .
Keep a simple vegan diet (no milk , fish , dairy , meat) and fast one day in a weak - see your weight come off and all your diseases . Being vegetarian is not enough as we are nevertheless stealing milk that was meant for the calf.
Our health has a karmik link like all things in life - when we stop causing suffering to other sentient beings, in return our own well being is tremendously boosted -
Dukh an deyi kise Jee Pat Seo Ghar Jaye ||
Do not harm any being and you will go to your home with honour
And
Jehre khange Choprey Ghane Sehange Dukh ||
Those who indulge in lavish food will suffer a great deal.
(iii) Emotional Suffering
We all have a tendency to carry grudges - someone did or said something bad to us ....take some deep breaths and thank them for it for taking some or our karmic debt off...what happened to us was just a result of our own karma and this person was only the messenger ..in other words akal purakh himself wanted this to happen to us ,if not them it would happen through another person or another means.
लेखै बोलणु बोलणा लेखै खाणा खाउ ॥Lekẖai bolaṇ bolṇā lekẖai kẖāṇā kẖā▫o.As it is pre-ordained, people speak their words. As it is pre-ordained, they consume their food.लेखै वाट चलाईआ लेखै सुणि वेखाउ ॥Lekẖai vāt cẖalā▫ī▫ā lekẖai suṇ vekẖā▫o.As it is pre-ordained, they walk along the way. As it is pre-ordained, they see and hear.Remember there is enough in this world for every being , worry and jealousy are just wasted emotions - we are not truly happy until our happiness is infectious i.e. we make everyone around us happy.
Feel free to pm me or on this thread if you need any gurbani tuk for a particular dilemma / suffering you are facing in this maya infested world .

Apparently we sikhs get as easliy worked up as hindus over cow slaughter or muslims over muhammad cartoons , where is the depth of our spirituality , where is the avastha that is at the heart of this beautiful philosophy called sikhi ?

The Bedbi that happened was terrible. But Panthic Unity is at an all time high. So far the corrupt Jathadars are being backed into a corner, Makkar has been exposed as a power hungry old traitor who considers his post more important than the Sikh Nation. Honestly wouldn't be shocked if SGPC ends up dissolved after all this.
Everything happens for a reason, this shocking event has completely obliterated the veil of deception that SGPC, the Jathadhars and Badal wove on Sikhs and Punjab as a whole. I just pray that their siren song doesn't once again start enticing those poor souls.
They say History repeats itself through the ages. The hurt that we are feeling, I wonder if this is how those blessed souls who walked this Earth under the guidance of Dhan Dhan Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and Dhan Dhan Guru Arjun Dev Ji felt after the martyrdom of our blessed Guru Sahibs.
Good point veerji but I am concerned this might go the way of orevious Rajaona, noormehlia, jhoota sauda protests when our people after losing a few gems in police firing forget the whole thing as though nothing had happened .
So lets do not let another crisis go wasted - let us resolve to do something that anyways which as sikhs is our first duty - understand and live by gur maharaj.

Anyone reading this thread must resolve to very thoroughly study and implement angs that are reported to be torn and thrown in gutter .
e.g we see a report of angs 155-185 torn, the entire sikh quam treats reading those angs and understanding meanings top priority leaving aside all worldly things !! Of course after reading we go to gurughar and resolve to implement those angs in our lives.
Once the beadbi doers understand that by tearing pages they are bringing the quam closer to guru they will realize how badly it backfired.
Das can do english katha of any angs that sangat here has prolem understanding !!
Guru fateh !

Let's End All Suffering - Our Own And Of People Around Us

Two things -
We all go through excessive thinking in the initial phases , but slowly these thoughts will loosen their grip on you - so don't lose heart.
Also if breath meditation is not your thing you should try music meditation - pick a rag based kirtan such as this one and just focus on the shabad with your eyes fully or half closed (try to stay focused on the entire experience including the non vocal beats and muscial notes ), here is an example kirtan
ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਮਿ ਵਜਾਏ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਮਹਲੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਘਰੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
On a sidenote stop identifying with being a "ramgarhia" - in fact any label that was meant for our body and we tend to identify with (not just caste, it can be profession, religion, gender, economic status etc) is an obstacle to your deeper understanding of your real self - the fat that you are spirit and not the illusory mix of body and mind -
Man too jot saroop hai Apna mool pehchaan ||
Also for all meditations (music or breathing) do 5- 7 minutes of alom vilom as a warmup .
