Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

i am a young amritdhari, who needs your help...

The problem is that I’m not feeling that long lasting “buzz” anymore. I do seva, during that period it feels amazing, doing Simran feels amazing, but afterwards, I just go back to feeling “urgh” I used to love going to Kirtan programmes, but now i feel like they are all the same (still attend them).

And because of this lost buzz I don’t feel like getting up for amritvela. I quickly listen to my path in bed. I’ve tried listing to katha, doing more seva. But it’s not working,

The Sangat of Sikhs that I have gotten to know has also let me down, by gossiping or just getting to political etc. So i don’t feel like doing Sangat.

Help!

Just do naam and read gurbani.Read sakhis of singhs and singhniya.Do much more seva and listen to Katha.Dont listen to hard Katha so start of with easy Katha.Then afterwards build it up.Wake up for amritvela and do ishnaan and read you nitnem.At first you will hate waking up but afterwards if you keep on doing it it won't seem to hard.Talk to granthi Singhs or kirtaniees instead of your freinds and always ask them questions.Do this for months and you will start feeling waheguru maharaj.

Don't make reading your nitnem into a ritual. Understand the meanings of guru ji - learn how to die to the shabad. The day that happens you will laugh out so loud at thinking how stupid you were and out of this stupidity you believed you were this person (body/mind). From believing you were this limited person all problems arose i.e "I am bound' "Guru Ji does not like me" "I am not feeling the buzz".

Find a way to die to the shabad don't just become a parrot and keep reading gurbani and japping a mantra without understanding why this medicine has been given then you will never know how to apply it.

This medicine has been given for the cure of identity/ego not for some sort of 'feeling good thing'.

Chang things up a bit? Do ur daily nitnem but try doing other activities aswell, try joining sports clubs or something? Boxing maybe? I was like dat aswell, I'm a young Amrit dhari aswell, I took Amrit when I was 13, after the first year nitnem started Becoming more of a task but now I'm 15 and I have relised how important sikhi really is, and try reading Sri guru Granth sahib jee mahraj on srigranth.org, that helped me alot and it made me feel alot better

      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!!
