khalsa ji...i m the one who ask questiong by the sub "how should i slove my problem"..by guru's kirpa i m doing my paat..and most of the time i remain quiet..at home..cuz guru ji says "bak bak vaad chalaya bin navai bik jaan"...so last night mom asked my..why i get up early in the morning.why don't u wake up late..cuz u always go back to sleep...i just said..it's ok..and then she asked me..why i m wearing all this..'iron kara' so i just said that cuz i m sikh...i want to..then i didn't say n e thing..then she kept on saying..that i shouldn't be keeping company with my gursikh friends and all..and she was like you wearing all make up and all..i don't like this..she was like..that why u always give me pain..seriously khalsa ji..i don't want to give her pain..now i m feeling..that i gave pain to my mother..even though i didn't mean too..did i do something wrong?..while guru ji taking my test of how much i want to be his daughter..?...
and my other question is..that after amrit vela..when i do my paat and go back to sleep again..is it wrong..?..and i always get bad dreams most after i did my paat in amrit vela..like ..somebody is beating me up...or snake is bitting people..or nasty...sex dreams..even though i fight with these thaughts all the time..why i get these dreams?..and my last question...is..i m trying to get soo strong..so that when ever my family member try to pull me back i don't..does that mean that i don't have love in my heart cuz my heart is getting strong like stone..and sometimes i don't feel n e thing in my heat while i m doing my paat...why?
thankyou khalsa ji for taking out time for my questions...
waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!
(REPLY) Sat Nam. God bless you! You are not doing anything wrong. It is sad that your mother does not support you in your efforts to live as a righteous Sikh. I would say, yes, it is a test. Try not to argue with her, but stand your ground. Unfortunately some people have lost sight of the meaning and purpose of life, and are caught up in the maya of wanting to "fit in" with society -- forgetting Guru's teachings. As for the dreams you get after meditation, I think what happens is that although the meditation clears out and dissolves a lot of the "garbage" in our subconscious, it doesn't clean it all out, and just like taking a broom and sweeping out the dirt in an old basement, it kicks up a lot of dust. Therefore, when you go back to sleep right after meditation, you are more aware of the dust in your subconscious and so you have disturbing dreams at that time. There's nothing "wrong" about going back to sleep after meditating, but you might try to stay away for a few hours and take a nap later, if that's possible. Just don't give up on your commitment to your God and Guru -- your soul wants you to live as a GurSikh, and it is sad that your mother tries to make you feel guilty. Please pray for her, and bless her, and love her, and be respectful, but don't compromise your values! blessings and best wishes to you. SP
