On social media and in life in general, I observe that many people are unhappy in their lives. They have bad vices and want to lose weight, quit smoking, drinking etc. So you see a lot of people making resolutions etc to eat better, join a gym etc. Then you have these NLP types that attend these Tony Robbins seminars. I know of a former work colleague of mine who attends these and got together to give food the homeless. Which got me to realise, don't we as Sikhs do this kind of things with our seva? It seems that even though society is becoming less religious or less spiritual, these kind of things would be found in religion (Sikhi in particular ) but it seems to be fragmented and manifest in different ways. Another example, you hear from these self improvement types is that you must meditate, make self affirmations and show gratitude. This is what naam simran and ardaas is supposed to do. I see many people wanting to improve their lives mentally, physically, spiritually etc. However, I realise that our Gurus encapsulate all these things so that we can become the best version of ourselves. The question then "Is Sikhi the ultimate self improvement vehicle?". Is there other things which you read or hear about with these self help types that has already covered in Sikhi? What other messages are we missing out on that are right in front of our noses in our bani that we only see with these self help, NLP, motivational speaker types?
