Bhul chuk maaf

I am not sure how to put this into words but I have seen people getting ripped off by priests and other people who claim to have the power to help others by giving them "upaaye" and all.

I am not here to judge but how can I know if the person is genuine?

I am very sure, true saints do exist between us but how can I distinguish if the person is really a saint and not con?

Honestly, I can't bare the sight when people get exploited because of their insecurities.

Bhul chuk maaf

Sarbat da bhala

Thanks to all above.

Ill follow the instructions given by you guys.

You should start watching basics of sikhi videos on youtube

They provide a good foundation for anyone being first introduced to sikhi.

You will get to know many good things from their videos which will help immensely on your journey.

I live in Punjab. I am aware of some of the teachings of the Gurus. I am just not sure what to do? Do nitnem?

Welcome Manav Jee,

we must bear in our mind that, all souls are just as equal same rays from the One Light/Sun.

According to where those rays fall upon(bodies), we say someone is a sikh, a hindu, a muslim or a christian.

But when we go within, we all have that same refulgence, light of His Jot.

Gurbani says: Sabh meh Jot, Jot hae soee. His Light permates in all as souls, and He Himself is the source of Supreme light.

So, it does not matter if one is a sikh, a hindu or be it anyone, yet if one concentrates and goes within by His grace, we will all hear the same sounds if only we are that same satges or levels of consciousness, ann that Shabad or Anahad Bani, resounds in everyone one of us, irrespective of our color, creed, gender or caste. 

Sree Guru Amar Das says:  Nam jiskay man vaseeya, vaajeh Shabad ganere. Means, whosoever concentrates on Nam will hear the sound of that Shabad or Nam within himself/herself.

In His eyes, we are all His souls.

It is we blind fools who fight and quarrel and kill or abuse someone in the name of religion, that too, when we have not seen that Jot  for ourselves, we forget that according to khel and our karmas we are born in a particular place, body, and dharam, ad according to His kanoon of karmas no one can change anyone, so why not respect all as they are?

Going back to your query, it is by great good luck that in Sikhee under the guidance of the True spiritual Teachers, Guru Sahiban, we are taught how to overcome all our limitations and by devoting ourselves to their higher and pure teachings we manifest the Sound or Voice of the ultimate Truth or call it creator and see His Jot within us.

That is supreme mahima of Guru Jee, who making us shatter our deep rooted ignorance and thus throughly cleaning us all our dirt of karmas, sanskaras, from countless lives, makes us pur and fit to reunite ourselves and become one with that Ultimate Truth which some call God, and we in sikhee call that creative power Wahehuru Akal Purukh, who is formless and beyond any imagination, not even gods or any other entities can know anything about Him, except His lovers and Guru Sahiban.

That is what Gurbani is for, to overcome all our limitations, all our pettiness, all our complexes, of which we are so much proud prisoners.

 

Thanks so much!

Totally agree that we all are a part of that one creator.

What should I read that can lead me forward on this path? Or just naam?

I am not sure. But I have had a few experiences like these.

I haven't done any naam simran actively.

But, I have heard some kirtan of lord krishna once when I was half awake and half asleep. Also, I heard some random songs that are not here.

Sometimes in my dreams I have been aware that I was dreaming.

Plus, I am a hindu by religion but I strongly resonate with sikhi.

I have started doing meditation now, but I am not sure what should I do to follow the path of spirituality in the right way?

I would appreciate help from you guys,

Thanks.
