Ishnaji,

I mentioned your post to my dear wife last night, my wife is passionate about creation, and creator, accepts the concept of consonance, but has a complete aversion to any mention of an abrahamic style god. Ambersaria wrote a post a while back about consonance and evil, it stated many points, the one that I took to my heart was how responsible we are for ourselves, and what do or think can make our path better or worse. I see it as a thick line of truth running through various possibilities, keep on the path of truth, let your outside mirror your inside, live in consonance.

I mentioned your hairy legs, and monobrow, my wife asked how that is going to get closer to god, how does your physical form allow you to understand creation any more than someone with smooth legs, my understanding, based on my own rather hirsute appearance at present, is completely with Ambersariaji, dont sweat the small stuff, I think that once you enlighten your brain, it flows, you don't think about it, you honour Guru and creation by being whole and not submitting to fashion/media pressure about how a woman should look, I think if it bothers you even 1% then it is not flowing, and you have to just wait till it does, I think once you really understand sikhi, you don't give your appearance a second thought, you just 'exist' as you are, no filters, no translation, you just are pure, yourself, not a slave to society or what society wants to see.

I think this can take some time, but I also think it is something you have no control over, you can't just wake up one day and say 'i will be comfortable looking like this', rather I think you wake up one day and you are so proud of your inner beauty that the concept of changing it in any way seems alien.

This is a long journey sis, there are some that prepare for it by polishing and cleaning the car, choosing the right music, getting a valet, making sure the car looks like the image in the head of how a car looks, and then there are others who make sure the mechanics are in order, the engine is ok, the map is sitting in the glove box, they are meticulous and ready for the journey, and know what the latter normally have cars that look clean and functional, they mirror the care their owners have lavished on them, mechanically and externally,

Also, one more point, I think you are a bit like me, possibly a bit bi polar/manic depressive or whatever the scientific name is for people who are a bit unhinged, and that is another issue that can cause people like us to search too hard, to lose heart easier, we need to belong somewhere, but as we grow, we will find the only place we belong is helping people, acting with grace, and thanking the creator for the chance to serve him, through our friends and families, and to get our love back from the creator to fuel us through this journey, at that point, when we are truly in tandem with creation, we will catch sight of ourself in the mirror, and see a true gursikh in all aspects of physical perfection, and we will say, wow, when did that happen

Re: Lonely and Uninspired

Aristotle ji, thank you for the timely reminder, that in reality what I have been feeling is a common feeling amongst most people, and I am not in real hardship. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I realize how my lead post shows much hubris!

I just wrote a big post here detailing all the good stuff in my life, countering my own grizzling above, and in addition to feeling massive gratitude for all the things I easily listed (and could have kept listing) I felt shame, because in reality I have nothing to complain about. Nay, I have even less to complain about than the average person because I have Sikhi. Thanks for the wakeup call.

Harry, brother, please thank your wife for her contributions to all your posts! Very insightful lady!

I'm cool with my kesh, the problem has not been so much me having my kesh as me having the kesh in the community which is meant to keep kesh when a lot of them aren't. It feels like I'm inadvertantly projecting "holier than thou" but at the same time like im not fitting in for not doing what everyone else is doing. I love my kesh (my husband doesn't), it's the pain of seeing other Sikhs not loving their kesh. But now I sound up myself which isn't what I mean. Anyway!

And yes, maybe I am a bit manic depressive. Usually manic!! You described me almost perfectly in your last paragraph. Well done. I think I could do more on the helping people front. Maybe that will help me keep my own life in perspective next time I'm feeling low.
