Lately, I'm not sure if I'm coming towards or going away from Sikhi.

I use to have sangat but they made me feel guilty for things I didn't even do, always accuzing me. They made me loose my confidence completely and I always left feeling horrible about myself and in general. I wouldn't be able to concentrate in anything, specially paath, and would just keep thinking about whatever conflict ocured and what they said to me and how they hurt me. Before this started, I used to do lots of paath, but then with increasing conflict in the sangat, my paath declined because I couldn't concentrate and always felt depressed and stuff about what was going on.

Since leaving sangat, I feel like my spirituality is soaring much higher than ever before and I got some weird spiritual things happening now (not bragging...thsi is gupt so you don't even know who I am anyway...but I'm just trying to show that I seem to be doing much better spiritually). My rehat, amritvela, paath, everything spiritual, PLUS even worldly social and family stuff is going good for me now.

But is this some kind of trick of maya by making me think I'm good without sangat? Or can I really be okay without Sangat? I know sanagt is important....I have sangat of my family and friends but I mean I don't go to gurdwara regularly now.

Can knowledgeable people give serious responses plz.

Why do you think that it is maya or your Ego that is giving you this suggestion of you are good without Sangat? Where will you go without your Sangat?

The mere fact that you considered this influnce to be arriving from Maya and not your inner voice, tell me perhaps you should stick with what you have going on. Trust your intuition.

I suggest you Sincerely pray for guidence and let the one who put you on this path guide you.

Sangat is relative... there are good sangats and bad sangats. It seems that you were stuck with "bad" sangat, and when you left, you freed yourself.

It is always important to have good sangat with you some of the time, because there are always things that (spiritually) you can improve on and like anything in life there are those better than you, and those worse than you.

If you found the old sangat as insatisfactory, look around for sangat elsewhere. Congratulations, and good luck!

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
