1. Get off depression pills or any other pills you're taking.

2. Hit the rock bottom. Instead of trying to keep your mind off of her by doing excessive paath and Nitnem, don't do it at all. Hit the rock bottom. Then connect with life again. This is where you can start doing Paath and Bani. This is actually a good reason. Not to keep your mind off of your gf.

3. Understand Japji Sahib. Especially the first 5 Pauris. Over and over.

4. Its not going to happen overnight so be patient.

it might be best to get advice from your doctor before stopping pills as coming off them can have side effects including making you feel worse which isn't good if you're feeling vulnerable. If you plan to come off them, get your doctor's help with it.

The way to look at your situation is that when you are in 'love' you are attached to the here and now. You feel the elation when the person you love is with you and you feel the pain of separation when she is not with you. You need to look beyond the here and now. Focus on the future, imagine what you want a year from now, such as finish your degree, or have a career that you always wanted or to train and lose weight.

The mind is very fickle, it can make you think that the person leaving you is the end of your world but if you can master your mind then you can turn this from a negative to a positive. Imagine all the free time you have and how you can spend it doing something positive like improve your health, work on improving your career, sewa or attend samagams etc. The thing is that when you are in 'love; you always exaggerate the person's positives and gloss over their negatives, in order to move on you need to start doing the reverse of this as this will be one of the things which will start to get you back to normal and not remain a wuss crying over someone instead of moving on with you life. Think of all the negative personality traits she had, It may be difficult at first because you may still think you are in love with her and have glossed over her negatives. Speak to other people who know her just to get their views on her negatives, When you have her negatives then exaggerate them and think of how your life would have been if you were still together and how her negatives would have a negative impact on your life. Negatives such as she wasn't ambitious, wasn't into Sikhi etc. The more you exaggerate her negatives the more your mind will start to believe that you are better off without her and then you will reach a stage that you will thank your lucky stars that she left you and you will actually feel embarrassed when you think about all the time you wasted in being heartbroken over her

You also need to, for the next few months at least stop going to places where you used to go with her. If you went to a particular restaurant or cinema ect. avoid that place because the mind will just bring the memories of her flooding back. Also get rid of anything she gave you such as a birthday gift or card etc. You need to avoid and get rid of anything which brings her to mind.

Start to think about what the negatives were with the person, such as she wasn't ambitious, wasn't into Sikhi etc. The more you exaggerate her negatives the more your mind will start to believe that you are better off without her and then you will reach a stage that you will thank your lucky stars that she left you and you will actually feel embarrassed when you think about all the time you wasted in being heartbroken over her.

I am not saying this will be easy but once you follow the above and empower yourself then the sooner you will get back to normal. I hope you get over her and soon,

I beg to differ...it's not sikhi to look for bad points in someone. Remember Kabir Ji........yes, this person needs to move on because she left him already for someone else. But that's should be alone reason....why regret the times you spent with her...it might be really precious to him. Simple thing to do is accept that she wasn't your soulmate. There is someone else for you...take it as his Hukam.... Do paath Waheguru will show you the way to real happiness. Let Waheguru enter your life and take over.

Making yourself hate somebody for their negative aspects is harsh. We all have aspects to ourselves that aren't perfect, and imagine how much it would hurt for somebody to focus on those aspects in order for someone to justify not liking us. It's one way of getting over someone, but I wouldn't recommend it as it just ends up in bitterness. It's best to chalk up the experience as a life lesson, and use it as a way of growing and improving. It's a very Panjabi way of turning what may have been good - on the whole - but interpreting it as something terrible in order to allow yourself to move on. That's not a very grown up thing to do; you're almost deluding yourself and creating a fantasy of bad memories. But if it works then fair play but I wouldn't recommend it.

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
