Does Anything Matter

[harsharan000]

Dear guest,
take this your present condition of being alone as a blessing in disguise.

Whole world is trying to get out from maya and find a place of solace to try to meditate at His Lotus Feet, and you while being amidst the world, you have the perfect envoirements to do His bhakti.

You are realizing the truth of our state in this world, that we have come alone and we shall go alone.

We belong to none, and nobody is ours. Almost the whole world is entangled strongly with maya , thus struggling to detach from it.

And you with His grace, are almost ready...

Now tell the mind to shut up, enough of its nonsense, then firmly and faithfully dedicate yourself in His bhajan bandagee without wavering.


The Bani says: Prabh ka Simran sabh tay oocha.

So do His Simran regularly without fail, and gather this spiritual wealth of His Naam Simran, as much as you can, as it is the only wealth you can carry with you, and it is the only visa accepted in His Darbar, and it is the source of true happiness or bliss, cause no matter whatever else you may do, or are told to do.

Because you are then not following any man made laws, but His Hukum, as per Bani, and the Bani of our Guru Sahibans is unique and the highest.

So cheer up, and be thankful barambaar to Sachay Patshah Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

The Bani says: Sukhmani, sukh Amrit Prabh Naam.

His Naam, is the panacea for all our ills, and the unending fountain of permanent true happiness, throughout all yugas.

Sat Sree Akal.

We came alone into the world and will leave alone. However when we start to carry the burden of all - children and family on ourselves and ourselves alone then the burden gets too heavy. You need to lighten up your load by listening to some kirtan, katha in your free time. This will bring your mind in a state of where you will know that you are not alone.

Slowly you will understand that the purpose of being sent to this earth is to do simran. When you start to say Waheguru as much as possible you will realise you are not alone. Your burden will be shared - and your load will get lighter and you will start to enjoy engaging in simran, path, seva and katha kirtan.

Loneliness is what you start to look for then. For the world seems to be a great distraction. Think of the saints who sat alone in bhagti in the forests - they were never alone.

God is always near you and around you and in you - listening to you all the time. Talk to him and tell him what you are thinking. It takes some time to get in touch with your own inner self so that you can develop that sort of state where your mind in some sort of bliss where it does not matter who is near you or not. You always have something or another to do. Listen to your shabad when you are alone. Put it on volume.

The best thing - if that does not seem to be working for you is to visit the guradwara and see if it helps to be amongst other people. Engaging in some sort of seva will allow you to interact with people as well.

When you feel teary its your souls way of telling you are separated from the light which has created you - you need to start to reconnect.

Do you know that we all have an opportunity to serve a higher purpose here.

During Guru Gobind Ji's times, alot of sikhs could have sat back and done nothing to stop the moghul empire from taking over.

But Sikhs including Mai Bhago, shaheeds like Baba Deep Singh Ji and others got up and actually Did something with their spirituality.

Keeping Truth and using it for ourselves only and material gain is what the Gods and Goddesses did. That's not the purpose of being blessed with the Truth and that leads to the ruin and demise of ones soul. Doing good for others, serving, teaching and living whilst serving Truth and a higher purpose takes one out of selfishness and into the realm of goodness.

I have personally experienced this. Yes we follow hukam, but listen to your true inner voice- the voice we share with God himself and serve your higher purpose without fear or doubt.

Only yesterday, I was blessed with guidance and assistance through a woman who spoke to me as though it was God himself speaking.

If you're asking if anything matters, in reality only Truth, the Seva of Truth and helping to bring about the Satyug matters at the moment- Living is important, Living Truthfully is of the utmost importance. Everything else is really life with its ups and downs.

This statement is true.

Guruji tells us:

ਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਉ ਕਿਸੁ ਕੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਰਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਏ ॥

ना कोई मेरा हउ किसु केरा हरि बिनु रहणु न जाए ॥

Nā ko▫ī merā ha▫o kis kerā har bin rahaṇ na jā▫e.

No one belongs to me. To whom belong I? Without my Lord, I can live not.

We are reminded many times through Gurbani, that we are only here due to our karm and that nothing is ours, everything and everybody belongs to the Lord:

arghhhhh i feel like there is no point in living ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I wish that someone here could make you feel a bit more optimistic. It makes me sad to know that it is possibly within my power to do this if I only find the right thing to say, but paji, I don't know what else to tell you. The answers you've received here are rooted in the wisdom of our Guru, this is the guidance he offers us. I feel we could help you more capably if you told us what caused this despair.

Stay in Chardi Kala

[simran345]

arghhhhh i feel like there is no point in living ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

There is every point in living, if you share your dukh by talking to somebody. What is stressing you? Why do you feel low?

Don't worry about it, Gurbani tho asra levo (turn to Gurbani for support).

Whatever you are going through, accept God's will, Hukam and do Ardas to them to get you through your bad times.

In good times, thank God for them. In bad times, do Ardas. And at in both times, good or bad, do Simran.

Your life belongs to Waheguru, so if you feel you can't do nothing for yourself, then do for them. Live for God, serve God and ask for their support.

arghhhhh i feel like there is no point in living ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ok jee,

good, there is no point living here....

But then, have you thought where you shall go, after here?

Have you any idea of that place, will it have anythig better than here, or you want to go away blindly, without any idea ..... or do you think, the place you go, you can live with your choices and wishes?

Anything done blindly, is like opening the door and inviting more and more disasters on oneself.

Now please do not tell me, anything is better than here, because that is not truth at all.

If you want to be happy, hold on firmly to the source of all happiness, which is undoubtedly Wahiguru Himself.

Then, go straight there where He is, having Him as goal, you will never feel disheartned, nor cheated, but on the contrary, you will feel His love, His protection, His warmth, you will never ever have any sensation of loneliness, because, then you will turn from a drop as soul, into, the infinite Satnam Samundar...

Dear Guest Jee _*_, next time you write any post, beware, none of us here want to listen any depressing nonsense from you, like the one quoted above, we are all with you, you have our affection and sympathy, just let yourself go .....

If not anything else, just repeat His Naam with love, regularly and punctually without fail, and HE will come and dwell within you, and that is more than enough....

Wah wah wah, Wahiguru Jee. Oouch Apaar Beant Soami.

Sat Sree Akal.
