I am not stating these things do not exist but to quickly jump in and endorse the concept of possession is not beneficial to anyone let alone the person who is already suffering. This original poster is already tormented by something and beginning to think along these lines because they cannot explain what and why is happening to them. By encouraging this notion you are indirectly pushing them down a very slippery slope into more negativity.

I was watching Panth Time last night on Sikh Channel and one person made a point by saying they asked a "Baba" why they were so quick in giving out shabads to solve peoples problems The Baba replied that 70% of issues are due to problems in the mind and most people are ignorant of that fact. Therefore we suggest to them to devote more time to paath so they can distract their mind

If the poster cannot successfully do that then I would first suggest they seek medical advice before thinking the solution to their problems is an exorcism of some kind. :nono:

har simarath man than sukhee binasee dhutheeaa soch.

Meditating in remembrance on the Lord, the mind and body find peace; the thought of duality is dispelled.

naanak ttaek guopaal kee govi(n)dh sa(n)katt moch.

Nanak takes the support of the Lord of the World, the Lord of the Universe, the Destroyer of troubles. :respect:

First fix the problems of the mind and the problems of the body will follow suit.

Thanku for ur help, yes paat distracts the mind too, but has power

I understand your point, I also watched the panth time show and find peoples vichar on this particular topic alittle patronising, again due to people having no proper experience within this matter. Like how you said that some person stated 70% of people have mental issues, what about the other 30%, nobody came to any form of solution to deal with this percentage. There is no procedure in place to assist the sangat. In many cases people are unable to listen or do their Paath due to a paranormal possesion which has nothing to do with mental illness. However up until their is a structured procedure in place evaluating the different level of severity of the paranormal to assist the other 30%, the demand and supply for babeh dereh will always exist as our religious leaders and organisations are doing nothing to acknowledge it. I didn't hear anyone then go on to talk about the other 30%, did you?

Also the gurbani quotes which you kindly referenced I feel reflect on gurmat and Manmnat, not spiritual possesion. I agree it one thing to quickly state someone's possessed within 5 mins of assessment, however it's another thing to not eventually come to this point, if all other rational, logical and scientific explanations fail.

I do have sympathy and understand what you are saying. Maybe im not the best person yo help you. However you created this topic to get help. So you will need to give more info of what you say and exactly what you have tried so far. Maybe someone who has dealt with this stuff before is reading and will be able to help you. Without more and clear info its hard to say what it is.

Trying to help and don't mean to insult you or belittle what you are going through.

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      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

      By BhForce · Posted

      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!!
