hi you guys are doing a brilliant job. dont know where to start. my nana ji passed away in january and i miss him alot at the same time my brothers marriage broke down. i know ups and downs happen, but from a childhood age i am so afraid of death, suffering and pain. my nana ji who passed away is a brilliant man who followed sikhi, but life wasn't easy. so how can i expect my life to be easy. i know its karma, but i cant take pain and suffering. i read in another part of the question forum that if god gives pain take it as a gift. i know lifes not easy but i just cant take the thought of pain. im 24 and when everythings well im fine like everyone else but now my mums in hospital with a infection and im so upset and worried. i cry to waheguru not to give us pain. at this point im so negative i feel im going to have a bad life full of suffering and die in pain. so scared of hospitals and i get visions of being ill and getting all bad illnesses. my worst nightmare is being in hospital. i get scared of getting old because it seems all doom and gloom.

i want to be a good sikh, and be successful and go to a good with waheguru. but i got so many fears. i feel i can never get over the fear of hospital and pain. im sooo scared. in bad times a feel so far from my guru. i feel i have no one. please help me. and please pray for my mum. thank you for your time. WAHEGURU BLESS ALL

ITS NOT THE LIFE YOU LEAD, ITS THE COURAGE YOU BRING TO IT. Life is made up of polarities. Some times we have easy times, some times hard. Its not what is happening, it is how we deal with it...how we respond. If I were you I would increase my spiritual practice, so that I am connecting with my Infinity on a regular basis. This will help you experience that your physical condition is just part of you. Your spirit is your real Truth. If you can attend a Kundalini Yoga class in your area, do so. Yoga and meditation will help you connect to your inner self. They will also help you strengthen your nervous system, so that you can go through the ups and downs of life with more grace and ease. Where do you live? Maybe we can help you find a yoga class in your area. If you go to our web pages - 3ho.org or kundaliniyoga.com, you should be able to find the international yoga teacher directory. Blessings. GTKK
