Randip ji
Yes it makes sense. That is what jasleen ji and I were probably also saying. It is a frame of mind that opens up to a direction or intuition -- hard to explain in words.

That's how I feel, but I hit the "I get the answers" button. IF I could change my vote I would change it to not sure because of what you said. |

Dear Veerji ,
WJKK WJKF
I am sure that if u take all ur decisions keeping the word of Guru broadly in mind , not only ur personal problems but also ur work problems & unsurity is removed . Maybe one reason why a Sikh is required to do Nitnem is so that Guru's words r imprinted in his / her mind . I feel following Gurus' words one cannot bear any sorrow as Guru is always there to taking that suffering on Himself Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/20779-do-you-get-answers-your-questions.htmlReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20779

Guru Granth Sahib Ji is to follow, literally living Guru teachings. When understanding His Ordinance becomes obvious, living in harmony to His Ordinance becomes natural way of living and all the questions become immaterial. Of course this is the way I look at Guru Granth Sahib ji, contrary approach is inevitable indeed in this context too. |

I too DONT go to my Guru Ji for "answers" as to the Lotto numbers in tomorrows draw..or whether i should call in sick from work and go fishing instead. I DONT teach my students that GURU JI "answers" all prayers ?? HE Doesnt. (pardon the Sexist.. HE..) For example HE doesnt provide the winning numbers..or the A's when you dont study..and for sure He wont call your broker for you to get rid off that plummetting stocks on your behalf. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20779
BUT then when I do "lose" my shirt buying that stupid stock... I DO go before Guru Ji and do ardass for GUIDANCE..and i definitley get that ( not tips on next good buy..but how to COPE with my STUPIDITY/IGNORANCE/SHORTSIGHT/GREED/ANGER/SADDNESS/SORROW....in other words when i need a "shoulder" to CRY ON.....HE IS THERE EVERYTIME. PERIOD.....and He is there to share my JOYS..my glad moments..my happy times...
GURBANI is for ALL TIMES..the happy ones..and the sad ones...the joyous ocassion as well as the Sad ones..Thats why the ANAND SAHIB..is READ at ALL Ceremonies...death and birth..weddings..as well as..separations..The Ramkali SADD..THE CALL of "Death" is placed right BEFORE the Ramkali ANAND in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji..the BOOK of LIFE !! When we are BORN..its actually the moment the "COUNTDOWN" begins...10-9-8-7-6- so DEATH is already CERTAIN the moment we are BORN..makes sense to read/Vichaar on Ramkali SADD before we become too joyous in Anand with the new birth !! Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20779
As AAD Ji has put it so well...The GURU gives DIRECTION...He shows us how to "FISH" rather than provide the fish. Sadly most of us want the "FISH" straight away and are not interested in learnign how to fish...thats too much hard work...we wnat the shortcuts..fast..instant solutions !! ( and the Babas, the sants, the derawallahs the CHARLATANS..have those "instant solutions" - best one is..FILL MY POCKET FIRST...Guru Bhalee karega....any wonder whay these charlatans have such huge followings ?? everybody wants instant answers. Actually there are NONE.

This short essay would actually be wonderful longer essay in a mag like Sikh Spectrum. Every now and then people like to read something that cleans out the cob webs. Someone keeps bumping this thread -- so it must mean it is time for you to write the article, Gyani ji.
