Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa , Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

I am an amritdhari girl . I have always been told that those who pray to god , never suffer pain in life . I have been told " SARAB ROG KA AUKHAD NAAM ". But my uncle is suffering a lot . His wife & mother do path . They
are also amritdhari . But they had suffered a great loss in business that
now are earning nothing . They all are in great depression . My uncle
is losing faith in god cause he is in this condition for very long . They have never done wrong to anybody , still are in this condition. Now I want to know that why is this happening to them ? Why is " WAHEGURU " not helping them ?They are in this condition more or less for about 7 years .
How can I rebuild their faith in god ?

(REPLY)

You can't rebuild anyone else's faith. It is up to each person to keep their own relationship to God in all circumstances. Sometimes we wonder how can good people have such hard times? Well, we don't know what karma is being paid from what previous lifetime. What we do know is that when we take Amrit, we give our heads to the Guru, and so whatever happens, we understand that it is the will of God - and our lives belong to WaheGuru. It is important for us to keep reminding ourselves of the purpose of life, and the best way to do that is to regularly read from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, not just to do Path, but to understand the message Guru is giving us over and over. Meanwhile, there are meditations that a person can do for Prosperity (see the link to the "Prosperity Paths" Sikh Dharma Dasvandh publication on the Sikhnet website). It is easy to have faith when things run smoothly. Never give up hope that things can change for the better! Because, they can. Guru Ram Das is known as the Lord of Miracles. Do you know the shabd "DHAN DHAN RAM DAS GUR, JIN SIRIAA TINEH SAVAARIA" ? Reciting it 11 times a day, with prayers for your Uncle and Aunt, and see what happens.
