Hi, I have done wrong and i am very sorry. Unfortunately i think waheguru ji has punished me for my bad doing (which i wouldnt blame him for i did very wrong) but i am very sorry. I broke a "swear to god" which i will never do again as i have realised its not good to do. But i would like waheguru ji to forgive my wrong doing. I dont really know paat. I only know the first paudi of japji sahib. I try to download banis and paat and stuff and i say satnaam and waheguru vigourously when im listening to songs by replacing the words with satnaam waheguru. I usually do it throught out the day like in the morning while im getting dressed and before i go to sleep and any other time. But, i was wondering is there a specific paat u have to do when u would like forgiveness from god? if so what is it? i would really like to learn it and ask for forgivness from waheguru ji. thnx alot

(REPLY) Sat Nam. Wahe Guru does NOT punish anyone. We punish ourselves,and guilt is one way we punish ourselves. It is a fact that the law of karma works: "as you sow, so shall you reap." If you want to be happy, sow seeds that will produce happy results! Obviously, commit to never repeating the thing that was "not good to do." Then, forgive yourself, and set a special time every day before 7 am when you sit and actually meditate or chant Gurbani Kirtan. You might do 31 minutes of DHAN DHAN RAM DAS GURU. Reading Jaap Sahib will bring you dignity, and a sense of self-worth. First step to happiness is commitment, commitment give you dignity, dignity gives you divinity,Divinity (recognizing that God lives and breathes in you, so you don't misuse God's power) gives you grace, and grace gives you the power to serve and sacrifice for others, and that brings happiness.
