VaheGuru Ji Ka Khalsa
VaheGuru Ji Ki Fateh

I do completely agree with Harsharan. My intention was not to offer some sort of ritual. From what I have learnt we should ask the Guru's advice in life ie get a Hukamnama and even take out our Haume (ego) from our lives and everything we do, therefore understand only He has any power to do anything and we have no power. My intention was just to promote this understanding and hopefully once Raman made his request to WaheGuru Ji with this in mind it would help.

My sincere apologies if I caused offence or if what I said came across other than it should have done. My own knowledge is very limited but just wanted to share the little that I have and thought it may help. He is our mother and father, if we cannot ask of Him who can we ask from?

Nothing is greater than Naam being said from the heart, for Naam is also Prayer. All truth is in His Name.

Thanks. God Bless.

Hi Raman,

I hope you have already found a job by now. If you have not I hope this is of help to you.

I was recently listening to katha of Chaupai Sahib on the youtube.com channel Basics of Sikhi. This is a great channel that Guru Ji introduced me to this year and thus has guided me on the path to Sikhi.

In the katha Jagraj Singh discussed the theme of WaheGuru Ji having all the power and being the only one who can do anything (I can't recall the exact terminology but you can watch it yourself if you wish (
thats video number 3 in the katha but I think he discussed it in video 2 or maybe 1).
What he said is you have to get rid of all your ego and believe only WaheGuru can do this for you. You have to do an Ardaas/Benti and say to God something along the lines of: "I have no power at all, only you have the power, only you can do this and I cannot do anything." Say whatever you feel ie make your request to Him accepting that you yourself have no power and thereby getting rid of your ego. Then you have to do the manual work yourself but knowing even though you may be physically doing the work its not you its WaheGuru that is doing everything. At the end you have to thank Him. If you get what you desired thank Him for it and if you don't get what you want then you have to say "It's your HUKAM/command that this was not meant to be" and you have to accept it.

Obliviously my knowledge is limited and I am only telling you what I have learnt and cannot explain it as well as the person doing the katha but if you can I would suggest you watch at least a couple of the katha videos to find out exactly what he said about this.

I hope what I have said makes some sense to you and helps you. If I can be of further help please let me know.

If I have said anything wrong or caused any offence as my knowledge is minimal please accept my humble apologies.

For anyone in the west who is curious about Sikhi I would strongly suggest you have a look at https://www.youtube.com/user/basicsofsikhi it has helped me a lot and opened my eyes immensely. I thought I knew somewhat about Sikhi until I watched the videos and realised I didn't know anything.
