Jealousy


Recommended Posts

Fateh Jee,

I was wondering how do you all cope with jealousy? I am about to start higher education in September meaning i will have to make new friends etc. I know how it goes, where new people arrive and your old friends drift off. I have a brilliant mate at school who has always been there for me. I just know that when i start higher education he will drift off with his new friends and cousins who are going there. I would like to know how to deal with this. Some of the people i know are rubbing it in my face that their actual best mates and that i get the feeling ill be left out.

Many thanks, take care

Vaaheguroo Jee Kaa Khaalsaa Vaaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!

I remember when I started my higher education I was glad I was no longer going to be with my old friends because they always had a negative impact on me since they were Manmukhs. Although I still ended making new friends and avoided socializing with them outside of classes but I ended making a manmukhi friend. I would prefer to be alone because from experience its sometimes better. I don't believe you will be left out if you don't have any friends to be with. Vaheguru Ji is with you and no being can replace that. Whatever Vaheguru Ji makes happen happened for the right and perfect reason. It won't matter if you’re left out if you have naam. But if you are, doesn't that show that they are not really your friends.

I usually call my "friends" by name, you know, Bob, Jake, Gagan, Susan, etc., but since all your friends in the past were manmukhs, did you just refer to them as Manmukh with a big head or Manmukh # 2 with small ears and so forth?

Just because I call them Manmukhs (someone who follows their mind) doesn't mean I hate them. I'm a manmukh too. The reason why I didn't want to be with them because they had such a negative impact on me they really corrupted my mind. From experience I can understand why Gurbani says not to socialize with Manmukhs because it’s terrible how you actually begin to think the way they do. I could never find a decent friend. I've had so many friends and they all seem to have hatred for you inside and will show it to you indirectly and directly. At the beginning they were nice but then after a while they would begin to show what they really thought of you. I've experienced a lot and made myself suffer because of those Manmukhs but when I see them now I still show kindness towards them. I only believe a Gurmukh can be your friend. I know it’s a sad story which is the reason why I'm not going to carry on.

Sorry if I have offended anyone

vaaheguroo jee kaa khaalsaa, vaaheguroo jee kee fateh...

funny that, cuz my frend thinks the same way about me, but i keep tellin him that i aint gonna drift off, cuz i dont want to, that friendship is too good to just 'drift away' from, impossible. But hay, thats what 'I' am going to do if my frend goes to the same palce that i goin to, not everyone feels the same about their best frends...

hope this helped...

vaaheguroo jee kaa khaalsaa, vaaheguroo jee kee fateh

Accept it. Embrace it. And let it pass.

    • 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…
    • 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!!
