Crying like a baby

I’ve always been a tough man. I’ve been in fights. I’ve seen some horrible things. I’ve had close family bereavements. I’ve been through crap in life. I haven’t cried since I was 10. 

I’m 34 and now when I read Gurbani I’m in tears. I listen to katha - tears are rolling down my face. Tried to recite a story to my wife of Guru Tegh Bahadur when he was discovered - just choked up and couldn’t finish it. Used to read sakhis as a child - never cried. In fact i would be proud to be Sikh  

Shouldn’t reciting bani and naam simran help strengthen me?

Lol I used to be the same. 

 

Its the Power and Beauty of Truth. You’re experiencing Bairaag and Love for the Truth and Creator. This is how Hes discovered, through the HEART. 

 

God bless u to walk the path of the Bhagat.

Gurbani and Simran make you very Nirmal,  which kinda means clean. As it gets rid of bad thoughts and karams and subconscious things. This might make some people more sensitive or have bairaag, which is a good thing. 

Try reading dasam bani to balance things out, but dont worry, its a good things. Dasam bani gives you more inner strength.

Bani can bring suppressed emotions to the fore. 

I think Bhai Jagraj Singh mentioned something called Bhairag, your emotions come out because your subconscious has been longing for connection to Waheguru.

The more you become spiritually aligned the more things you begin to see and feel.

You feel a connection to nature and all things around you.

It's a nice emotion   I feel it too   though for a man it is obviously hard to cry and show emotion. 

I was telling my mum and dad about the 21 shers that faught 10,000 pathans at saraghari and I nearly started crying  but i kept it in lol    

It's not good to show to much emotion in front of others,  I don't even show emotion in front of my parents.  

But when talking to your guru  you can let it all out

@Redoptics it’s tears down face, sometimes choking sensation in throat. 

@Singh1989 aren’t those who are spiritually advanced in bairaag? I wouldn’t say i’m there yet

@puzzled it’s happened when I’ve told my wife sakhis like 40 mukti. So many inspiring and heroic sakhis in our history. 

I always thought simran and bani strengthen your character so you’re immune to silly emotions like anger and sadness.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
