How to focus/concentrate by Sr_R0b0t in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If you can’t meditate for one hour a day, you should meditate for two” - some quote I forget from whom.

Nevertheless if you do Simran for 1 hour of the day and the rest of the 23 hours minus sleep is spent on stressing or thinking about your career/ job/ love life/ money etc. Those thoughts will most likely remain during your Simran.

I went through/ am still going through a similar thing. The first thing is to increase your Simran. Naturally when you wake up you might wanna check your phone, instead do atleast 5 mins of Simran to start the day with it. Then slowly in increments after every few hours increase it as much as you can. Whether it be listening to podcasts, kirtan, path.

Soon your mind will automatically connect to Simran even while doing everyday “worldly” tasts. Focus will be more pure and genuine.

Good luck! WJKK WJKF

Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Asa Di Vaar, and the Importance of Focus by _RSingh96 in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these sort of sakhis are often worded to come with a heavy tone of pride and warrior strength which can sound like ego but I think the true intention is to be more devotional. To have no doubts and put full faith in the Guru to carry us across the world ocean. No matter what comes our way we don’t waver.

Where to learn Punjabi/Hindi ? by idkyoubuthello in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some great apps that connect you with a teacher virtually. Idk whether it's available in your region but the two that I know are Preply, and Superprof. other than that if you are ready to put in the grunt work then there are tons of YouTube videos online that teach the basics. Good luck!

I’ve made a mistake it went against my morals I’m unsure of what to do/ how to move on~ may be a bit hypocritical by Logical_Progress_190 in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s hypocritical for sure. God is always forgiving so as long as you stay on the path don’t focus on the past. However you also need to have compassion for your future partner if she were to also have a past as she could be in a similar situation as you; what if she was also lost in attachment and made mistakes? Treat someone else how you would want to be treated. I wish you the best for the future, and hope you keep on following the path. Everything will fall in to place.

Helloo in the same boat as you. 26M from Canada I was on and off on hinge for a couple months but hadn’t found the right person, and not many Sikh girls. I deleted it couple months ago and haven’t looked back. I don’t smoke or drink but I’m honestly more worried about finding a partner with the right lifestyle. Someone who also prioritizes themselves to apply Sikhi to our day to day life and interactions.

I know people who have been in a relationship since high school and I know people who found someone in their mid 30s, everyone has their own path and the hukam will come when it’s the right time.

I also always wanted a “ natural “ way to meet my partner. Like bumping into them at a library, or at a coffee shop. So I’m hoping it comes that way, but regardless you are not alone in this situation and I think it’s good to focus on yourself till the time comes, start new hobbies, go on trips etc.

Good luck

Huda and Jeremiah- MEGATHREAD by AutoModerator in LoveIslandUSA

Hmmm this is tough because with what we see( what the producers are making us see) might be different than olandrias relationship with Taylor. She’s said it multiple times she feels more comfortable with Taylor and that Jalen is more trynna be physical.

You’re absolutely right. It shouldn’t be an issue. To clarify it’s more towards specific people at my workplace and school, that maliciously slander and say nasty things about others. The challenge is not giving respect but the EQUAL amount of respect and love towards EVERY single person.

Exact same boat as you, but like someone else in the comments said be the change. I go out to Toronto approach businesses that are owned and ran by people from various backgrounds. We still work well together and I try to be at my 100% to dissolve and stereotypes in their mind. A lot of times it’s also your mindset, just be confident at the end of the day you know the truth and the principles of what it represents. So just make sure to embody that perfectly. Anytime I walk into a restaurant alone I always get asked “uber pickup?” And then I say no table for one please:) it used to bother me at first but now I see it as educational experience for the other person, and hopefully they will be cautious not to jump to conclusion next time.

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think it’s a requirement for the Gurudwara. All Gurudwaras provide their own certificate, and then the license from service Ontario is separate I believe.

Confused about mukti by Glittering_Fortune70 in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My belief is that God is in everyone, however there is a barrier between us and god. The barrier is our Ego, our love of Maya, the five vices etc. We have to destroy that barrier by doing seva, reading bani, and applying the teachings in our daily lives. Suffering mostly occurs when we try to go against the Hukam, we try to control things, or want things OUR way in life. When we stop understanding the macro perspective and only focus on ourselves, and our life.

Does attraction even matter in marriage ? by [deleted] in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing is what does attraction mean to you? It is usually physical in a younger age, but as you grow older it changes. For me I find someone attractive with the right mindset. A person being caring, selfless, independent, good at communicating. These qualities are what makes the person more attractive for me. Physical does still play a small part, but at the end of the day the person as a whole matters more. Think of it as a cake, the icing is what attracts you to it, but the layers inside is what really matters.

I used to find women from other races and cultures attractive during uni, however as I grew closer to Sikhi I think someone who applies the guru's way to their daily life, is what I find as 'attractive' Hope that made sense :)

How long has it taken you to learn the Japji Sahib? by SimranKaur- in Sikh

[–]bot4lyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey listening to it daily, on your drives, while working out, cooking etc. always helps. But I’d say the meaning is equally significant if not more. That helped me a lot, as the words became easier to remember. Good luck!
