Support

[Guest Guest]

Is it wrong to talk to other gursikhs and ask their advice if you are feeling upset, in pain emotionally etc?

Doesn't Gurbani say "sarb rog ka aukhad naam" meaning that all pain is dispelled by doing simran? And what about all the tuks in bani that say that Guru Sahib is everything to us and therefore we should not rely on other people to help us through difficult times?

It's just confusing because sometimes it can help to talk to people when it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunel, but at the same time, we should be able to deal with things ourselves and only take Guru Sahib's support.

What does the sangat think?

Hmm it is definitely not wrong to seek support from gursikhs and talk to them about problems you might be facing. On the other hand, this has got me wondering for a long time and I personally know of many such cases, what happens if the gursikh you seek support from suddenly turns his/her back on you(the one facing problems), ends up badmouthing and making things much worse than before?? Won't this put people off from seeking help from the sangat????

You are right ! humans have many weaknesses and failure, one can trust God and God only.

But that doesn't mean that you should not seek advice but that you must be really judicious and selective from whom you seek advice and be really careful about advice you must believe and follow ??
