Jap naam bhaji/bhenji that was was sound advice!! Was reading your advice and thought...wow that is wicked....felt you talked from the heart and the fact that you used examples of what worked for you was helpful. It is important to change your thoughts, behaviour and feelings. Sometimes by just changing your thoughts (like changing negative to positive) can have an affect on the way you behave and feel. Or by just changing your behaviour (Like maintaining eye contact) can change how you think and feel. The advice given to Big tera has been in the form of changing how you think and behave - that is very good advice. It definately works. research has proven this. Big Tera get something on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from the library, you will find that the advice people have given you here is similar to the therapy. You can train yourself , you don't really need some therapist.

To be shy, i think, is a nice quality. Don't lose it....or think of it as a bad thing. Like someone said earlier if its disrupting your life and getting in the way of doing what you want then change it.

Good luck Big Tera. I am positive that you will overcome this. First step is that you asked for help and want to change. If you want to be more confident, you will!! Think positive and forget everyone else (i know easier said than done - it will take time). I hope the situation at home gets better, because when things at home are falling apart, then we do start to feel unstable. Build up a support system within yourself and maharaj - make that stronger.

The girl you mentioned that keeps staring - like someone already said you have no idea or any evidence to prove what she is thinking - so ignore it - or just stare back, lol! Maybe not too much. Maybe she is actually looking behind you, lol! Anyway who knows!

Let us know how it all goes!

err....... can i just clear up that i was just joking because a gupt person wrote that passage mentioned in the 4th post.

then peacemaker said it was him who wrote it, which i think it was, and i was just joking.

because he initially wrote it as a guest and so it could've been anyone that's why i said no it was me. explaining the joke totally kills the humour, oh well never mind.

good luck to big tera.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
