i have read the existing replies and have tried doin many things to keep my occoupied but i stiil have a urge to mastubate. im 18 years old and i need to know that is it right to masturbate and then to kirtan/simran afterwards because that is what i do but its not due to guilt. i dont do kirtan because of guilt but just because i want to. i go gym and try to do swas swas waheguru and it does help, i just wanted to know if it was right?

also is it right to gossip about other porple and if it has been happening to you, how do u avoid it or correct people what is correct?


thank you very much for ur time in answering this if you can.
May god bless you.

Masturbating is not a sin, but it does affect your energy, by concentrating it in your Second Chakra. I would play kirtan first and see if you can bring your energy up before you masturbate. It is all a matter of where do you want your energy to live...in your lower chakras or in your higher ones. Yes, going to the gym is good, sweat a lot. Take cold showers, do yoga and meditate. Masturbate as a last resort, not as a first.

Gossiping is creating karma. Yes, correct other people in a kind way by saying something like, "It is not our job to judge another person...that is the Guru's job. We can have compassion for the person and try to help them. That is the way of a Sikh." If the persons involved can't hear you, then just walk away. Your silence will be heard. GTKK
