You talked about things such as:

Doing it around the same time for 40 days, facing a certain direction, keeping a glass of pure water beside you, shower before starting the Jaap, doing it 108 times etc 

i don't know where you got this but it is strikingly similar to the vidhi layed out in the book I've read by this Mahapurash named Sodhi Harbhajan Singh. I mean exact same instructions (there are some more but those are the main ones) 

You said it's ok to do this for duniyavi karajs (promotion, job, finding a good life partner, 6 pack abs etc) but people can't handle the Naam Sidhi for Roohaniyat karajs. Like it's too much for them. I'm asking because in the same book there are several shabads provided that can be used to attain worldly things and otherwise. Were you saying if your "bhanda" isn't strong enough you shouldn't ask for things like avastha, dib dhristi etc because I've heard Giani Thakur Singh Ji say that it is for the exact reason one shouldn't do Ik Onkar Jaap. It is too strong for most people if done over longer durations 

I'm confused, wouldn't Maharaj Ji be more happy that you are asking for things he loves to give more (Roohaniyat stuff) as compared to Maya and other wordly things 

Thanks

What is this? 

Kuch v nee.

My intuition is telling me your favorite channel is NewsChannel? 

I know I can read mind .:)

This tree is empty inside and pretty soon will fall. Mom dad want me to get it cut since they afraid it can damage things or can fall at someone. So, my question is since we know trees feel pain too. What should I do? If I get it removed, poor tree Ji will feel pain and I will feel bad. If we don't get it cut, it can do some damage and mom dad will yell at me. Parents yelling is no fun :(

Sorry OP Ji, too lazy to make a new thread.

Its is also tiresome to hear all these frauds saying 'All is God, everything is God, this is God that is God' etc.  That maybe true but unless you are in that avastha you don't know about it really and your actions wont reflect that level. 

You really shouldn't talk above your own avastha.  It just makes you fraudulent.  

 

People have immense faith in Gurbani and they have the full right to say what Gurbani says. Next thing you will argue that I have no right to say labor pain is painful just because I have not gone through it yet and I should not trust my mom . If we are going to look at it that way then we all are frauds. Everybody is doing their best to help themselves and others. It's always a good idea to be humble and hear what others are saying rather than judging them "Oh show me if that's true". Knowledge is pretty powerful and free too. We all need teachers, when I am showing anger and if someone who is not able to control his anger comes up and tell me hey don't get mad, getting mad is no good. If I question him Oh really show me first if you can control your anger then trust me I am the biggest Fool alive on this earth .  When I do my path and I go outside and my brother starts annoying me and I get mad. He always go people who do path should not get mad. What he does not understand that I fail every time and still try and his words can make me quit practicing what I am practicing . 

why people are saying "All is God".

Simple answer is because Guru Ji says so. 

I never bring tukks from Gurbani because I am a kindergarten level here but this one seems fun let's try so here we go plus I need to learn too. 

God is everything, God is everything, without God, there is nothing. 

 You can take it as metaphorically or literally. I take it as both ways and would not mind telling others either . Because next tuk will say 

sab kuch apey aap hai dooja avar na koyi.

He himself is everything, there is no other at all.

Now don't start the argument about Calling God "He". I am too old for this useless drama. 

We all experience the separation because boy we are full of Ego. Have you ever heard a heart touching Kirtan and you feel that love for everybody and everyone . For me that's oneness. Very rarely it happen but you can sit and just wanna hug every single person on this planet and tell them how much you love them. But some people will take it wrong way so be careful lol. Try to find where are you? I tried other day while eating. I felt like I was in my head and when I went to sleep I felt I was in my dreams and when I heard a beautiful Kirtan I felt I was in my heart. When we day dream we can be anywhere . Up to this day I don't know where am I ? I am here and then I am there but in the end I am nowhere. I am an illusion because when I shift my gaze in certain perspectives while looking in mirror I can make myself invisible . Kinda hard and useless to explain but stand front of a mirror and keep looking at it until you kinda zone out and poof your face is gone in mirror. It's a fun exercise, I mean better than making faces front of mirror .I know y'all do it too,  I can't be the only one . Lol 

The primal lord, the architect of destiny who created you also put egotism in you .

Everything is a wave until it gets observed and become Particle. Who is the observer which makes it a matter. Electrons act differently when they know they are being watched . Those sneaky suckers makes life so mysterious for us. If you magnificent the glasses all the way , you will "hear" ( why in quotes because science says so) that humans are nothing but thoughts and information . It went from brain ( flesh) to neurons  to atoms to data. At quantum level, we have no body but an existence composed of data and information . Time to watch more videos on Holographic Universe. Go check it out , they are fun lol 

Sometime you will hear a child saying Mommy stealing is wrong and that child might steal after 2 hours but mom will go true stealing is bad. So , the point of this long post is (not only for you but for many others too who kept saying Oh your avastha is not there yet, so don't talk like this) take their knowledge and use it for your benefit rather than judging them. You will come across many people who are full of knowledge but keep gaining the knowledge instead of practicing it but still they have really good points to make . Some people keep learning and learning and once their vessel is full then they start practicing and some curious ones start sharing their knowledge. I do that too, when I learn something I wanna go and share and when someone ask me oh Really show me it's true then I am like next time I am telling you nothing lol. Have an open mind, a mind where you hear what they are saying and if does not resonate with you toss is out and if does maybe look deep into it. 

Angelic.

I can't believe you guys are labelling this as a controversial topic but paying no attention or concern for the op at all, rather the opposite. As Sikhs I find this shameful. We're not on about suspicion and pointing fingers, aren't we supposed to help?

Admins: Might I make a suggestion, perhaps create a sub forum where guests can post (because many even those who have user names) may want to broach a controversial topic and don't want their reputation on rest of site defamed because of their views on a particular subject which is hard to talk about. Like bar guest topics creation on rest of site but create a subforum specifically for controversial topics where people can post anonymously / as a guest. Then it will be contained to one sub forum at least and those who don't want to read those topics don't have to.

On a side note, I posted before as a guest and due to suggestion to make an account I did. Now I am being accused of being someone else. So you can't win, and it doesn't really matter anyway in the end.  People will still have their agendas and be weary of anyone who disagrees with their agenda. On both sides.

They are not taking it seriously because every single thing that OP is saying has been said on this forum so many times by the same person. Every thought of OP seems to be influenced by reading posts over here. True, there could be a 13 year old writing all this but where is she now? Unless she actively participate no one will trust. I joined the forum in distress too and when I posted my life here, I came back to check people's responses or to find some relief. I mean if I tell someone my pain, I will reply again if they talk to me . I won't just post and forget about it. 

Have been watching his videos and started reading a book. He does have some good or great points regarding not so common stuff . There are many more videos on his channel, worth checking out. 

This is beautiful..

Wahegurujika Khalsa Wahegurujiki Fateh Ji. Thanks for all your encouraging words, this is the first time I dared to do something like this but I will try to do better next time, with Wahegurujis grace. I also like Bhai Nirmal Singh Jis Bhaya Diwana Shaha ka, that is also pretty modern but the notes he hits are beautiful. Gurbani is Perfect by itself, Satgur ki baani Sat-Sarroop hai, but until we sing it with the emotion that was there when it came out we have a long way to go. I am just a nobody but here is someone who is brilliant: 

 

This is beautiful.. He sings like Bhai manpreet singh ji kanpuri.

I find it funny that he continually compares women to transgenders. He is using it as a means to mock and openly disrespect women as being something which is beneath us (I am a male). Notice he never lumps men with transgenders, In his mind it goes men at the top of all creation as the best and highest status in Waheguru's eyes, then women and transgenders are somehow on some lower level equal with each other, insects and vermin. (I have seen some posts where he compared women to insects too!) His male ego is so large that I don't know how he even fits inside a Gurdwara!

He is deliberately showing disrespect to women openly as being something he considers to be way beneath himself. I think a fitting punishment since he seems to be so obsessed with disrespecting women, Gurbani says men who do this, obsess on women till their death, will wake up in next life in body of that which was the focus of their obsession and bad thoughts, he will be born female in his next life, and not just any female, but a female who experiences the full brunt of men's disrespect toward women, a prostitute!

ਅੰਤਿ  ਕਾਲਿ  ਜੋ  ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ  ਸਿਮਰੈ  ਐਸੀ  ਚਿੰਤਾ  ਮਹਿ  ਜੇ  ਮਰੈ  ॥
Anṯ kāl jo isṯarī simrai aisī cẖinṯā mėh je marai.
At the very last moment, he who thinks of women, and dies in such thoughts,
 
ਬੇਸਵਾ  ਜੋਨਿ  ਵਲਿ  ਵਲਿ  ਅਉਤਰੈ  ॥੨॥
Besvā jon val val a▫uṯarai. ||2||
shall be reincarnated over and over again as a prostitute. ||2|| 

The shabad referenced (page 526) is not slamming women at all. Its not saying a female body is a downgrade to a male one (yes Paapiman actually posted that, someone just showed screenshot in another thread!)

 That shabad is speaking about obsession and attachment in general as being a hindrance to one's spiritual progression. (A female who is obsessed with males for same reason will also suffer same fate, because in reality there is no male and no female, for we are all one in Waheguru and soul has no gender. So a female obsessed with seeing men as bad might come back as a male who no woman wants to marry etc. I am just looking at fitting consequences to actions) That same shabad also mentions those who obsess of their children on their deathbed will be reborn as a pig (presumably because pigs suckle many piglets at once so therefore they become the fruit of their obsession, their whole life becomes about birthing and suckling many offspring) It also mentions those who think about their mansions and money obsess over material wealth, will become a goblin (a ghost haunting so closely that which they were attached to, but as a ghost they are never able to touch it and are forced to watch others become owner of what was their prized possessions, again they become the fruit of their own obsession.) Our fate is like our own personally designed Hell. That which we obsess over will be that which we attract! Which you pointed out and you are so right!! The takeaway of that shabad by the way is to think only of Waheguru at our death. 

So you see the overall theme is attachment and obsession. Paapiman has a serious obsession and attachment with trying to denigrate the female gender. (I think he is really lacking in something and is doing it to try to make himself elevated to feel better somehow. Some men who feel need to compensate buy expensive cars, Paapiman disrespects women. Perhaps he was turned down by a girl he asked out and now hates all women? lol). The car guys according to that shabad might come back as someone who dies young in a fiery car accident. Paapiman will come back as a girl so he can experience firsthand what it feels like to be on the receiving end of what he is now dishing out.  Its all a part of our spiritual progression because we ultimately have to experience everything and from every angle. It would be good to know that every single ill deed we do to someone, we will have to experience in a future lifetime, perhaps tenfold.

One of the main reasons that men have sexually harassed women more in the past is because men have been in power in most places and at most time points in history. Women coming into positions of power (government/private sectors) in large numbers is a recent phenomena. The more they dominate in a society, the more their true colors (strengths/weaknesses) will come out. It would be completely unfair to compare two different eras.

Furthermore, evil women, on average, being physically weaker than men, will always find it difficult to sexually assault men, even if they desire to do so. IMHO, an average man can easily take on 4-5 average women in a fight (with no weapons).

The great Gurbani of Sri Charitropakhian Sahib jee is well ahead of its time. It exposes male and female instincts (there might be mention of Transgenders in it too).  

 

Bhul chuk maaf

So many contradictions going on or am I the confused one? In one side you are saying now women have more power and status so they are showing their true color. Which we will say for the sake of argument that harassing men.

On other side all the CK series are talking about those poor women who were using men with their manipulating games and their so called tears .

Then you are saying an average men can easily take 4 or 5 women so how women in power and status are able to harass men sexually now ? 

How CK is way ahead of its time when it is not even mentioning anything about women in power controlling men. All those stories are basically repeating the same thing which is that women uses mind games and men are stupid to not understand them. which is not true all the time since women are the most emotional ones and they can be easily manipulated too. Men play mind games too to get their means out. Iyou can choose to find negativity in opposite gender or all the positive qualities, take is on you cuz whatever you will focus on that's what you will attract.

This has to be some kind of joke. I was drinking water while listening to it and I just started laughing and crying so hard I couldn't hold the water in my mouth. I felt like dancing when I listened to it. I don't think you can do simran and sing gurbani to that kind of music LOL! Haha, you should use music that is meditative by its nature man.

This is pretty music type too but it brings me the love I can't describe .

Evil doers don't need help from others to exercise their evil minds.  Evil is inherent in them which can only be erased with the help of ONE EXERCISE and that is reciting the Gubani and Nam Japp. The above principle also applies to those minds that regularly engage in the 'exercise' of judging others.  So, don't feel sorry for yourself.  Self pity is also futile.  May God help you.

Haye rabba...I said I am gonna do an exercise where I will watch and "observe" my mind while it judges others and my own self. Not that I will sit and say oh let me say 10 judgmental things about this person. that just defeat the whole purpose of the exercise and observing my very own self  .lol

Daas apologizes to Sukhdev Bindra and CdnSikhGirl for the confusion.

It's too late, we lost them. They waited and waited and waited for your sorry but their ears and eyes went numb while waiting. Two months...I mean  Two crazy months bro they are enough to lose people over a sorry. But you don't worry, atleast you said sorry. Sure we lost them but new people will be sent on this forum and you can say sorry to them . Don't lose hope, we all with you .

Waheguru ji khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh

dear sangat ji,

I am in need of your opinion and would appreciate your advise on the matter

i am a beginner abhiyasee who recently got into sikhi following depression, i get peace from gurbani and want to make it a bigger part of my life

my plan for my life was to continue naam abhiyas and keep a working life, i am not married and i live with my family

i wanted to keep it that way as it would give me plenty of time for sikhi

but my family is pressurising me to marry in the near future and i am not genuinely interested, i have told them that but they are not willing to listen. If i do marry it would be out of obligation and i am stressed about how i would practice sikhi, take care of my husband, have kids and keep a job at the same time

sangat ji, sikhi is dear to me, I don't want to lose it, can gursikh veer or bibiya address my fears

is it going against guru sahib if I don't marry?

Pray for a husband who will not become a hindrance but a catalyst in your spiritual journey.

The biggest problem sikhism is facing low birth rate. Lack of sikhs marrying , inter religious marriages are taking heavy toll on Sikhism. Unfortunately most of sikhs have completely turned blind eye toward this , All they want is Raaj , power etc. The future is quite bleak in terms of demographics

Naw.. Yogi bhajan balanced it out so we good .

The question is more why would they? The assumption I am getting here is that sex = bad. Therefore our Gurus would never have anything to do with this gross bass carnal thing. 

This is such wrong thinking.  Sexuality was created by Waheguru. Union between male / female is a beautiful thing when not misused. It's not intercourse that is disgusting. It's the misuse of it for purely physical gratification that is disgusting. It's warping the original meaning of sexuality which can be a highly spiritual act! I can't explain to you how, you have to arrive at that conclusion yourself. In fact, its one of the closest acts we can do under the correct pretence, that mimics the merging of our soul back with waheguru. There is a spiritual merging of energy between husband and wife when this occurs. Once you view intercourse in this way, it no longer seems disgusting, nor something that would have any reason for our Gurus to avoid. Its OUR minds which make sex into something disgusting only. 

So why would our Gurus avoid it? To suggest so, says that sex is inherently bad. All sex. And to suggest that Gurus never engaged in it, says that their wives did not actually share any marital relationship at all if it was purely platonic (why marry them then when they could just as easily have congregated with him as sisters / servants / companions)? It also suggests that since the Gurus had children, that those children were not biologically related to the Gurus. It takes two sets of DNA to create a child. Were the Gurus wives just treated as breeding stock?

Jasper ji.. I am not "for" or "against" what everybody is having discussion on. I am just making a point that Laws are not set on stone. They can be bend and broken. I don't think anyone is saying that Male and female Union is bad or not accepted by creator. For me husband and wife relationship is pretty sacred. Attachemnt is created by creator too and we are told to let it go. This world or illusion whatever you wanna call is created by creator too and it's beautiful, even in the darkest time it's still beautiful and still we are told to abandoned it rather that getting attached to it. So what can we do.
