Regaining Faith in Sikhi

[Not2Cool2Argue]

Gurfateh!

Check out these sites. They will help u in sikhi:

Gurmatbibek.com

Go to their literature section amd read.the inspiring stories. Also if u can understand panjabi, google bhai vir singh letters. And listen to them.

Also start doing paath with meanings. If you dont have time. Make it a goal to read at least 1 pauri of each bani with english translations. 

Guru Granth sahib is there to answer our questions. Like who is God. What does he look like. What is he like? 

That is why try to read alittle bit of bani with meanings everyday.

Also, we have been seperated from God for thousands of years. And in.the meantime our soul has picked up sins and bad habits and wrong thoughts. Like our soul thinks this world is real and God is fake. 

This has become a hardgrained conviction. So we must try to ovetcome our bad habits and thoughts and sins. As we have had thousands of years to collect them. It will take a while to get rid of them. Things like anger,.lust,.pride etc. The world thinks they are normal.

You are starting from kindergarten of sikhi. Dasam Duar is the degree you earn upon graduation. It takes a long time to get an education and degree. So same way it will take a while. 

In the beginning,.when u were learning ABCs. It seemed rediculous. You would rather spend ur time playing as it was fun. ABCs were boring and repititive and of no use to you. Only later u learnt to read with them. And then using reading u learnt about law. Then u got ur degree.

So if now u have doubts. Thats good. It means u are an intelligent person. Keep thinking and learning. The doubts show u have not learnt about sikhi yet. So dont treat sikhi as a phase please. Like one day i am inspired and the next not. Treat it as school. Somedays u wanted to go,.somedays u didnt. But u still had to go anyways. 

Same way. Dont let ur emotions rule u. Tell urself,.I am attending school of sikhi. So decide how many times per week u will go to gurudwara, how much simran and paath u will do daily and at wat times. Please be realistic. Make sikhi a habit not a race. Make sure there are other things in ur life too. Like school work, family time,.hanging out with friends. But dont forget to take attendance at the gurudwara at least weekly. And do ur lessons (gurbani) daily. And do attend 1 lecture (katha) daily. And do listen to the assembly(kirtan). And do practice tests (simran) daily. If u passed the test, u will feel blissful, connected to God. But if u werent able to concentrate, then u failed. But thats ok. Its a practice test. The more u take,.the better u will be.  Do this whether u have doubts or not. And depending on how much u learn and how strict u r in ur schedule. U will graduate( dasam duar). But please dont accept miracles or dasam duaar, the first time u do simran. It takes alot of practice.
