Hello im from leicester. My sister is getting married in over 1 years time to a person of different caste.The wedding date is nearly booked . Now my sister spends all her weekends with her husband to be. This would not be a problem if it was at sociable hours however she ends up going early in morning at coming back at nearly 12 at night. I have tried explaining this is not right before marriage but she wont listen. Not only this but when she comes back she is often very unsociable within the house, she will go straight to say the lounge or her bedroom where no one else is and doesnt want to talk. She secludes her self from us after meeting him. However i want to spend time with her and she doesn't. How can i explain how i feel and make her understand? She is not even engaged as the wedding is ages away. The more i try to make her understand the worse it gets

Dear Brother,

It is general problem. However, it suggested that to tell your sister that if she does not care or sincere with you then you will cancel her marriage and relation between brother and sister will also be finished and on the other hand you should to pray to the supreme power which is God for her best wishes.

Gurbani says household attachment is the darkest hell, ie. attachment to family. Your sister is probably in love and has felt the freedom from the household attachment by being with her lover.

Why not take this as a blessing for your sister and instead of wanting to spend time with her, use this opportunity of not hanging out with her to do bhagti and get closer with god instead.

Even if she is rude to you, take this as a lesson to detach, to let her live her own life beyond your family. Even gurbani says that the bride does not stay at home forever, don't be resentful, just let her go- detach because attachment is one of the 5 thieves.

I am a girl and live in a family that is really attached to me- the attachment also manifests itself as jealousy and the boys in my family try to put me down, to lower my self esteem so that I never get married. But I feel their jealousy and insecurities about themselves which they are trying to project into me, and understand their ill intentions-thanks to gurbani-and am able to detach from their crap. Family attachment truly can be the deepest hell and I have experienced it first hand.

Getting so much close before marriage is not good .tomorrow circumstances may change and she would be really heart broken if this going to happen .tell her yourself or through family members not to meet her fiance before marriage .if they want to stay in contact .they can through phone .limit all this weekend spending before marriage .its not about western yoyo tradition , it is about what sounds right .you can also talk with fiance in light way to not spend so much time together before marriage .you have rights to speak to her .its the duty of family to care for each other and show they right way.

What a load of tosh, so according to you she has detached from her family hence her behaviour, but she has only detached from one thing and attached to another, i thing Gurbani tells us to attach to the supreme vaheguru ji, whilst being in the midst of maya not substitute your family for another person, but be with all of them.

I am not surprised you being a girl agree with this persons behaviour and when she falls flat on her face who picks up the pieces the poor family !!

Seems the dont need to be sold in bazzars of gujni now, they give it away free!! :no:

How do u know she is sleeping with her husband to be and not just getting to know him? We aee all entitled to be free, Gurbani also says that the girl cannot live with her family forever, that she goes to her inlaws. we learn lessons from living in a family environment from youth,and when we grow older, its up to us if we go and experience life for oursleves, or remaon attached to lessons that we have already or should already have learned. Guru Nanak Dev Ji left his family for huge periods of time- it really is not unheard of. We come alone n we go alone.

TALK to your sister...communication is the key. Go to her..sit down..and SAY your concerns as they are. Don't feel "shy" or "hesitant" about anything. Just tell her what you think and where you are coming from. And tell her to tell your her side of the story too..like what she thinks etc...Brother and sister's relation should be like best friends..no hesitation..straight talk! But in our culture, we aren't suppose to be like that..

Lol post are getting more and more ridiculous, a girl is coming and going to her maybe husbands place at all hours of the day and night and it is being compared to Dhan Guru Nanak ji leaving his family for the udasis, are you for real !!!!!

    • 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!!
