Do naam simran- embark on the path of the Bhagat- reading gurbani is one thing- u can read it over and over again- but if u don't practice it's gyan then there really is no point. Go into samadhi(deep meditation where the mind is being silenced) and learn the reality of the world around u.

Go beyond just ritualistic reading- understand the gyan and practice it 100%- that is giving your head to the Guru for Gurbani is the Guru and Guru is gurbani. Respect the Guru(gyan) and walk full speed ahead on the path- throw away your doubt. Doubt only comes into play when ur not practicing 100% because when you're practicing truth-there's no time for doubt and self pity- ur just practicing Gods heart and experiencing gyan as u go along.

God bless you

I feel like I'm making excuses when I respond to this and I probably am; but I feel so very weak, I can't concentrate at all, when doing nitnem for example my mind wanders and I feel like I wasted it. I know that by allowing my mind to wander I really am wasting my entire life, but the one thing that gives us strength is bharosa and if I don't have that I don't know what I'm doing, or where my life is heading. I understand that what you're saying is important and I do hope I can do this but I can only try. Also, how can we go into samadhi; I don't know many people who have done so, so I don't think it would be so simple for a sinner like me to do so.

Thanks for your response

Relaxation is key to samadhi-just let go, relax your muscles, close your eyes if u wish and do your naam simran. Let the samadhi take u over. Anhad naad(the ringing sound I spoke of before) is a symbolic reflection of the truth. We are asked to practice naam simran in gurbani yet so many ignore this gyan.

I say symbolic reflection, because in reality, not even sound exists- there is just Nothing. The truth=nothing- but a nasha beyond what humans are able to fathom. Naam is universal, it resides throughout the universe-it is All that is. So when when we're practicing naam I.e Truth, we're connecting with the universe and realising there is no separation between us and God and us and the creation- for we Are the entire creation. This is beyond logic and naam and samadhi silence the mind- so we just feel and out hearts lead our discoveries.

Find peace in the gyan that all is just a game-All is Him, all is just Karam. Start practicing- put your reading into practice with intuitive ease.

God bless you

the dark night of the soul is an important process for one's spiritual growth. you cant stop it by distracting yourself. it's impossible to run away from it for long b/c it's always there. but you can get through it. all you have to do is keep on keeping on. be patient. the magic formula here is seva simran satsangat ardass.

@ Truth thanks for your help, I do hope I can implement it within my life

@SunSingh what you're saying is absolutely right, I've tried ignoring it and running away from it but of course all of that is futile. I need to face it and fight it I just hope I don't keep avoiding it

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
