[QUOTE="Kanwaljit.Singh, post: 177989, member: 14616"] Hmm, yes there are few implied things about Sikh philosophy, that I didn't think of in the first go. On reading the Shabad, I felt as if one try is good enough. But maybe it is not.

Something like 'If you don't succeed once, try again'. But I wonder if there is a one shot solution? I guess am looking for a short cut? My question is kind of weird. Why is Maya deluding me? Why is taking me far from Salvation? What am I doing wrong? Yes it is a life full of different factors, where anything can throw you back at grip of Maya. And I believe that Naam should protect you. But it is not. So maybe I am not absorbing the Naam completely? Because I make foolish mistakes, regarding the 5 vices, regarding everything Guru Sahib talks and warns against. I believe once you are beyond the Gate of Salvation, you are forever in remembrance of God. But for me, there are phases, sometimes I am in remembrance, and in peace. At times I am fighting the 5 vices, whereas other times I am lost in grip of Maya. I realize my folly and then come back to one or the other state. So I am away from the fourth or the highest state, the only one which matters, the one where you are united with the One. I see lot of obstacles. A complicated web of dependent distractions, where you trip on one you trip on all. I was wondering what am I doing wrong? How to get free of this cycle? [/QUOTE]
