What do you mean by having your mind read? Are you saying you're mind has been damaged or am I misunderstanding the situation?

My mind has been read as in someone has read my mind. Don't know where you got the damaged mind from.

So we've gone from a medical / psychological issue to a supernatural / psychic-related area of discussion?

To be honest Singh, going by the symptoms you've described if you don't think you've got a damaged mind, then I don't know how else you'd describe the problem.

Mate, I didn't say I haven't got a damaged mind, I was just replying to what you asked about that particular quote you referenced. To be honest, I've found your posts quite abrupt and unhelpful. Sorry, but you may as well stop posting for this topic.

Bhaiji.... I have had the same problem too.. not the women issue lol but the wierd look thing. I have recently started wearing my patka/keski to sixth form as my sikhi has grown stronger. However living in a majority western area of Birmingham I felt the same as you. Like a lot self consious and like I was always being looked at. People would mistake my identity as a Muslim and I felt annoyed at their perception of me. However looking back to our history I grew stronger and seen how much our brothers and sisters gave for us and sikhi and realised I was not going to trade my identity away just because some people are igorant and are not open minded. Instead of taking anger out on them we should educate them of our religion and be PROUD. What would our father Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj say if we would all cut our hair and change our identity just because of people's opinions??

Stay strong, read our history (the shaheeds)

Take care.

Thanks for the advice.

Unhelpful? Possibly, but only because the situation is alien to me and I'm trying to understand it myself. Abrupt? Nah, I think that's you seeing something that's not there - coincidentally which is why you started this thread in the first place. But fair enough. Hope you find a solution to whatever issues you're facing at the moment. Take it easy and good luck.

Whatever man. I think its kind of foolish of you to say that I'm imagining the things I have described, there was no need to do that.

Even if you change your physical appearance, your own perception of the world will stay the same.

Some questions:

Do you ever hear voices when nobody is around? do you notice significance in certain numbers/patterns. Do you feel that you are part of some sort of conspiracy and people are after you/talking about you? you've mentioned that you sometimes think people know what you are thinking, do people ever interfere with your thoughts/withdraw thoughts/insert thoughts into your head. Do they ever block your thoughts? are you withdrawn/guarded and like to keep your own company. How is your mood at the moment.

Ultimately singh, you had some very good advice a few pages back that you should seek professional help as it is difficult to help you over an internet forum. I suggest seeing your GP. Whatever you do, dont compromise your sikhi

I don't mean to be rude.. but sometimes you gotta harden up. I grew up in a small hick town in Canada, where my family was the only Sikh family. There were I believe 2 other "brown" families but they were not Sikh. I went through some troubles initially.. but then I realized I had to fix myself. I could not even go around the town for a walk, everywhere I went people would scream "take that rag off your head" "Go die Hindu" "Go back to India" "I smell curry!" It happened in high school as well, and I almost got in many fights... although I never did fight as people would always back off once I threatened to kick their teeth in. Us Sikhs are intimidating to western society, its just how it is.

I started working out hard, began to love the way I looked and became more outgoing. Now when I catch people "looking" at me its just built into my head that they are admiring me. Is this always the case? Probably not. I have no trouble when people shout rude things, as I either approach them and call them out on the spot, or just laugh as I realize how insecure they are.

My brother gave in to the pressure of the place, cut his hair and is still weak minded. To this day he gives in to what people expect from him, and has no stand of his own. Everyone wants to be "better". So they look at themselves to see what is wrong with them and what makes them unacceptable. For Sikh youth, we all look at our turbans/beard and instantly see it as a problem. Your appearance is not the problem, your mindset is.

Yeah, you're right I should seek pro advice. I have in the past and still am for other things but will maybe bring up some of the issues discussed here again. I have not got any of the symptoms described, I am not a schizophrenic. Thanks.

Look brother, don't listen to this guy. Alot of the stuff he wrote is not paranoia but are actually signs of spiritual progression. Along with these things come the realisations of how awful the world is(we are in Kalyug) and that is not paranoia, that is the real state of things as confirmed by Our Satguru Nanak Dev Ji.

There are psychlogists out there who will diagnose anything and everything as paranoia, Guru Nanak himself said people called him mad i.e mentally ill, but he chose to believe that God was showing him the <banned word filter activated> thats going on around us.

The Truth is: people most likely are judging you, we live in an 'Image society' where looks are just about everything to the fools of the Dark Age. They neglect their insides while projecting a false image of who they are, poeple percivee them as beautiuful, Guru Nanak said they are demons i.e dark like shadows). Bhaji I see how ugly Cheryl Cole is, she is full of darkness but others see her a s light. This is the judging one should do, not judging of the false, image, so screw the dark snobby lady who stared at you, if you do not judge her you are lighter and more beautiful.

Bhaji the bhagats are outcastes in this Drak Age becuase they see the darkness and rise above to a lighter and more beautiful frequency with naam. They sense the shite around with the intuition and inner gyan of god blessed to them through naam simran, seva and bandgi- if you are seeing the <banned word filter activated> of the world, you are not paranoid, you are incredibly wise and blessed. Now rise above it like the lotus flower rises above the muddy water with naam simran, do your bhagti becuase that is all Gurbani asks us to do, dont just read the gyan, Apply it, no point reading instructions over and over and over like the unguided do, apply them

Gurbani says do Naam simran and bhagti on almost Every single page, isn't that telling us something? Wipe away the illusion, we are all nutcases living in this age which is why we are not self realised, so anyone telling you you're mad is a total and utter Fool and hypocrite.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
