I feel same way.my parents told me if you are thinking bad about someone possibility is they getting similar thoughts about you as well.so if you think positive overall and you can only control your brain and mind and teach them train them to stop thinking like that and instead think positive and do paath always or listen to kirtan all the time. Its helping me.

What kind of 'bad thoughts' are you receiving? And don't fear, you will look back in the future and think why did I feel guilty about that? Dont worry, do ardas, take part in regular sports activities/other activities to keep your mind focused on other things, try to stay around with positive people and try not to think these bad thoughts.

Firstly I would consider if you may need to seek formal help from a doctor. As this may be a formal thought disorder but likely it may just represent stress.

It all boils down to the fact of focussing on creation as one, god is all and god is one. It is not within us to destroy life, your purpose is simply to be at one with god. If you focus and remind yourself of this these thoughts will diminish and obliterate themselves.

Keep well.

Yes, like stated above, try to take part in other activities/sports.

Also, instead of trying to remove the bad thoughts do something that will puts good thoughts in your brain.

Do whatever you enjoy doing and use the good thoughts from these activities to override your bad thoughts.

Other than that, could you shed some more light on what kind of thoughts they are. Are they kaami, krodhi, attachement? There are different approaches to differnet kinds of thoughts.

If they are your slanderers then it's definitely possible they are thinking about u- most slanderers are obsessed with the person they slander because slander is Always done out of jealousy and the other vices- it is so prevalent in this age, and many sikhs live in fear of it instead of understanding Truly why people do it and working through it.

Also, Gurus told us to silence our minds. I found that when a really bad soul was around(one lives in my house currently) because they live in attachment, u may feel that attachment and mistake it for your own- it therefore triggers attachment within u. When u shut your mind up, there is no way for your thieves to be triggered and u just lie low practicing the gyan you've been taught, accepting yourself as nothing but an empty vessel. Then the souls pain(the negativity) just goes back to them because it belongs to them n they deserve it and it can't stick to you, because you're Nothing.

It's ok nothing to be afraid of, we all going through this defining ourselves with thoughts from time to time (some more than others) but still all of us are still continue defining ourselves with thought. One of ways you can help your situation and this requires little bit of effort on your part its- deconstruction process - First initial step would be is to disconnect yourself from thoughts to the point you can see/hear your thoughts, you see your thoughts as not judgemental pure witness not analyzing/judging or doing anything with thoughts just simple witness (just like sky is not affected by clouds-thoughts- clouds appear and disappear on its own accord under sky just like that thoughts appear and disappear under our witness state) and then slowly you can transcend that too by catching hold of thinker or seer. Keep doing practise -holding on to witness and then seer- until it becomes habitual thing, once it becomes habitual thing- you will stop grasping/clinging on bad thoughts or even good thoughts in egoic conditioned mind quite naturally, it will fall off you will stop identifying with your thoughts-furna and then hakum will start unfolding itself and you will get divine insights- it will come to you naturally and unflold itself -guide you every step of the way further in your spiritual journey.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
