WJKK WJKF,

I was wondering what to do for the past number of months, I have felt emptyiness and lonliness. Not sure what to do about it?

Months? Amateur! When you hit a decade then come back to me. :lol2:

No but seriously any reason why you feel this way? Something occured in your life or is it just an unexplainable spiritual funk?

There is a rehatnama i have i shall post it here when i have time, one of its rehats is that a Sikh should never be miserable. Whenever you feel it you should remember its all in the mind, its just a state of mind, infact it is an illusion. The best thing to remember is that everything is happening in God's will. My tip listen to keertan, music has the ability to change you completely.

That's actually GOOD NEWS.. This is a sign of vairaag (detachment) so use it to meditate on God.. Maya (wordly things/illusion) will not fill this emptiness and if it does it will only do it for some time. Why waste your time running after maya when God is waiting for you with open arms.. Just surrender towards him and your lonliness and emptiness will be filled with so much love and Joy that nobody can take this away from you again.

I have felt this way since 2010. I have felt completely lost and honestly lonely. I dont think I am depressed, but I have this hunger for something in life, and I feel like I have no purpose or direction. I'm not sure what it is, I try to go to sangat everyweek. I feel like my life has no meaning, and I have tried to fill it with something, but nothing has filled th void.

It has been propherised that during the kalyug the righteousness shall decrease and the falsehoods will increase, there will be alot of confusion, people who are weak will lose their dharam and get lost in the duniya and maya.

Important thing to remember is when you realise this is happening you need to then wake up and hold on to Sikhi.... read and contemplate on gurbani like a life saving rope to metaphorically speaking let you cross from one side of the mountain pass to the other. There is alot of alternative things to occupy the mind in todays world, meditation naam simran will help you get out out of feelings of apathy, confusion, emptiness, etc

    • 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!!
