I was 13. The experience stopped me turning lazy

Guru Sahib Ji’s happiness is on completion of nitnem. When starting the journey of Sikhi my ardaas was Guru Sahib please wake me up at 6am to read Japji Sahib. (I started with Japji Sahib and built up to 5 baani slowly). Guru’s blessing at 6am my eyes automatically opened wide. It continued, each day my eyes open, when I look at clock it’s bang on 6am down to the second. One day (weekend) I got lazy that I’ll sleep 5 more mins and closed my eyes. I heard a voice ‘fine stay sleeping’. Then a crushing pain on my right leg. I was screaming and biting the duvet so my family didn’t hear. Hours I couldn’t move. Finally when it felt ok to move same thing happens on my left leg ? Either it was Guru Sahib or a Shaheed Singh punishing me I’m not sure Guru Sahib really aren’t happy if nitnem is missed ?

Same situation for any 15yr old ? Self esteem is just another skill to work on. Make a list of skills/things you want to develop, including Sikhi related ? like learning paath by heart, kirtan and work through them Learning a marital art will help with self esteem. I started Karate age 11 ?. I only did it a few years but it gave me so much confidence. I been learning some boxing too during lockdown watching YouTube videos. Goal being to develop my self defence skills As a fellow citizen of the world, I’d rather you were humble (whether a little or a lot) than the opposite ??

I like your nimrta, very good ?? Getting into Sikhi young is special beyond words. Enjoy this time period in your life. You’re definitely going to look back and miss it one day. My experience that day will come quicker than you think. Take one step at time and build your jeevan slowly (both rehit and simran).

There's a theory called enantiodromia - excess of one thing gives rise to the opposite. E.g. no recession = confidence. Confidence leads to risk-taking. Risks lead to recession My parents/grandparents generation came to UK because they were poor with little opportunity in India. (1) Problem - Sikhs coming to UK didn't know English or have qualifications = had to work manual jobs = low income, trying to build stable life here (2) Solution - Encourage their children to study hard = good qualifications = good jobs and higher income (3) Excess - Comfortable off-spring enjoying the life their parents made for them here, 'wrapping our children in cotton wool' - not teaching them how to fight, defend themselves. What happens next? Comfortable life, living in a safe country = we think it will last forever, but it might not ? “Logic is an invention of man and may be ignored by the universe"

I had a quick look, there’s some kind of personal agenda behind that channel. I’d invite everyone to visit my YouTube channel called Mata Sahib Kaur Ji, where the sole aim is to experience anand of Guru’s shabad. No ads, no negative comments. Just a beautiful space created to serve the Sangat ? https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC5gb595ghH7AzjECzZqbHXQ

Dear friend, your post means you have deep compassion and love inside you ? (Dhiyaa comes with simran) I'm sorry it sounds harsh, but it really is everyone's karam. Equally, it's your own karam that you met the true Guru and he gave you compassion towards others. There's 3 mindsets you go through in simran: 1 - God please bless me 2 - God please bless everyone, but begin with me 3 - Praying for Sarbat da bhalla I think greatest thing of being alive right now is you have an opportunity to turn that compassion into something. Through seva/volunteering we can do this ji

Yeah I really hope they do, because right now you’re the weakest link. This forum could be a discussion forum for throwing insults and gossiping. Or we can leverage having a platform to connect with fellow Sikhs and use it to really motivate and inspire each other to ‘be better Sikhs’ - this is what our dear brother Bhai Jagraj Singh Ji BOS would probably say. Elders should be doing this - writing inspirational posts for younger generation, especially simran related. But there’s absolutely nothing from them. A few people do try to write encouraging posts, and I think like me, they are young. Lot’s of thinking needs to be done...

I have been reflecting a little bit. After deciding to leave the forum I came back to share a post last week. The purpose was sharing something inspirational with the takeaway being - make Mool Mantar part of your life. The way people judge and insult others here is vile and disgusting. What you don't know is I am someone who sufferers depression on/off, have got close to ending my life a few times. These sly comments written hidden in a bedroom affect people. And I shouldn't have to share this before people might think 'oh..''. I see no excuse in the slightest for an online space where this kind of behaviour is tolerated @ADMIN ji. I'm talking about 'akalifauj' I'm 25 years old and a genuine spiritual seeker. I'm not part of any jatha, group or organisation. Sikhi means everything to me. Age 15 - I setup a YouTube channel called Mata Sahib Kaur Ji to share katha extracts with the world. To date - 10k+ subscribers, 1.5M+ views. Here is 1 video, have a look at comments and explore the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3HSz4lSkfw - Simple Katha of Chaupai Sahib ~ People started simran/paath, got faith in gurbani, even took amrit after watching my videos. I run my channel with absolute zero tolerance policy. Any negative comments result in immediate user ban from entire channel. I won't allow anything to compromise my vision to create simply the most beautiful space for experiencing Sikhi. Negativity/doubts in naam simran destroy everything and I don't allow it. The sole aim is to experience anand of Guru's shabad. Last few days I was working on building a blog to share more simran posts because I haven't even scratched the surface yet. Bad experience on this forum makes me realise just how special these things are to share. The project is now on hold for a re-think. A very serious strategic review is required for this forum. Because I am the next generation and one who can really contribute - yet I'm feeling I don't even want to be on this site the culture is so aggressive and bullying. Handing over the forum blindly assumes the next generation want to use it. Some members would make the greatest contribution to promoting Sikhi by being blocked. The value I can offer to promoting Sikhi is enormous, and filled with genuine passion for what I do. I've already created a 7 figure engagement impact on YouTube which is awesome for what started as a 15yr old school boy in his spare time project. My goal is big impact, my YouTube is already having more impact than this whole forum in promoting gurbani and naam simran. So I need to have a serious review also about where to dedicate my time. I've even got a personal Sikhi strategic plan for projects I want to do in my lifetime - that's how important serving the Sangat / Khalsa Panth is to me. (One project is cyber security related. 'What happens if you open your gurbani app tomorrow and it says error?' 1 enemy with a laptop can modify, damage or destroy apps we rely on. Many of us no longer keep gutka/pothis or even have gurbani kanth. And what if WW3 and Internet & Youtube goes down? I want to create huge digital backup archives to keep today's content available for future generations) Aap Japo Avarai Naam Japavo Sangat Ji, you want a simran tip? Do Sikhi parchar - when someone connects because of you, it lifts you higher too. It can just be at home to encourage your family, or sharing the odd kirtan link on your Facebook, whatsapp etc. Or dream bigger.. Next Generation are already making huge things happen and have been for years!

A place where negativity doesn’t exist. Coming Soon... ? #GurbarAkaal

5 paragraphs were written explaining how God is behind everything. You are all Guru’s sangat, if you get something inspirational to read, the Guru is showering his blessings himself. The story is way deeper than x user writing something. I honestly learn things myself reading back after writing. When the mind focuses on the Guru, words can come from within. My comments were intended just like a giani finishes katha by saying anything said is the Guru’s words, for I am not worthy. 4 minutes later this troll had drawn his conclusions and replied to say I am claiming to be the Guru. 4 minutes! He is so target locked on attack mode. Maybe he could try sleeping on things and looking at it with fresh eyes in the morning! Original post was written in our mouj, a tribute to my Satguru, how much he does to help his Sikhs, to encourage you all to make Mool Mantar part of your life so you reap the benefits. Yes my Guru showed me how his pyare leave this world, they also showed how jamdoots unforgivingly beat the life out of people to drag them to hell. I have no reason for sharing such types of posts other than trying to help you, motivate you to jaap naam. I asked a Saint once, doing simran you get feeling of sarbat da bhalla, you want whole world to be liberated. They replied people haven’t got same feeling for you, they’d stab you in the back given the chance. Some people here insult me, judge me, are more interested in trying to guess who I am, speculating things. I don’t judge any of you at all, to me you are just souls I thought let’s encourage. If I do judge you the result is why do I bother, they throw everything back in my face. How often do you think such posts come along? In dhiyan we remembered all of you, let’s write a motivating post for them. 1 person insulting someone in dhiyan is enough for God to take everything away.
