QN
Sat Shri Akal ji,
First of all veerji I feel sorry that i ask you a lot of questions, but at the same time i thanks you for giving me the right answer.
I want to share one thing with you. About a month ago i feel like singing and get to know god a lot and that was the reason i use to hear and sing shabads whenever i get time at home and at work.but slowly and slowly my interest got lesser and know i dont feel and believing in the guru, with questions in my mind does god really exist.I dont know what going wrong with me.
now the thing that is going in my mind all the time is how the people belonging to the religion other than our religion achieve salvation because there is no naam and they haven't even heard of it.
my mind now always says to me if way to salvation is same for the people all around the world only then remember god because god is one and therefore way to the salvation should be one and if it is not then there is no god
Please help

If there is One god, then why isn't there just one way to salvation?
I WANT UNION
Dandauth Bandhna ji
I dont know anything and you have not asked me to say anything either, so its not my place.
We would just like to add that just by meditating on "death of haumai" and saying "I just want union, and it seems I will cheat myself and others to get it" you seem to be getting very frustrated which leads to what you described as "my tantrum". Tantrum is the crown of anger, due to frustration, root cause of which is ego and unfulfilled wants. So even WANTING UNION is highlighting your ego, desire and anger within you. So it is a blessing from God to show you these things still need working on.
Also Veer ji, your life story didn't really mention anything about loving those who have hurt you over the years - loving those who were racist towards you, loving those who have tormented you and so on? Your lifestory didn't mention loving the Creator by loving Him in all of His creations by serving Him in all His creations. You seem to be alienated from the world, you entered on the inner path ..Dukh Daru from a position of hurt, you seem to be wanting to fulfill a need that you are also valued and worthy by trying to achieve Divine union. By doing so it validates the life path you have chosen. But have you gone full circle yet and realised that you have to love all those who have hurt you because if it want for them you wouldnt be were you are right now? That you have to wash their feet and love them all and give up trying to validate your existance by achieving divine union?
Hopefully this will makes sense to you, it could be totally wrong, we cant say if this is your true story or not because we dont know you other than the wrods you have shared so there maybe lots of the story that is miising. But it just seems that you are too busy trying to achieve union - "I WANT UNION" -- I = ego, WANT = desire. Give up ego and desire and UNION happens by itself. The greatest thing Baba ji has taught us and what I thank Him forever is, is to realise God is right here right now and to serve and love him in all of His creations and let HIM worry about when and where He is going to give us Divine Union. Our job is only to become the slave, the servant, the slaves of the slaves. And that is the title that HE has bestown upon our teacher, so it is not for you or for me to give an opinion on it, we are in no position to judge others,, especially our teacher. Baba Ji said that while we judge others we are also being judged i.e. still under Dharam Raj. so get out of it all please.
Seva thoree mangan bohitha ...seva is less, but wants are great ...Gurbani.
We have probably judged you in this email as well, but that was not our intention, we only see some similarities to problems and stages we have been thorugh too and just wanted to share that with you to offer you another perspective that you may not have considered.
Please forgive our mistakes,
Only God knows you, me and everyone truly.
God bless you

Dealing with spiritual frustration
Dandauth bandhna Ji,
Asking why anyone did anything to us is pointless, because whatever they tell us its just a story - the story of our KARMA playing out. And we all know the whole reason we have been given this body in this form and the people around us is due to KARMA. You can see KARMA in a negative way , as "torture" or as "punishment" from God. Or you can see it a way for our soul to learn from its mistakes, to progress through every layer of lower consciousness. You can try and see the postive in every situation. If your past spiritual mentor left you and hurt you, then it exposed in you the lower consciousness feelings of betrayal. And for that you can thank her, because it shows you what you have to work on. And yes we have all betrayed God, that is why Guru Nanak Dev ji and Dassan Dass Ji went through a stage where they called themselves "looh-harami" - we are all tasting God's salt but betraying Him all the time - knowingly or unknowingly. It is not for us to ask "how have we betrayed him exactly" it is for us to do ardas with everybreath and accept that we are "loon-harami - the greates betrayer and beg for forgiveness." It is not for us to complain with the cards we have been dealt by Karma, but to do ardas at every moment for forgiveness for all of our mistakes known and unknown. Dassan Dass ji writes this in the sukhmani Katha that people complain to God as to what have they ever done wrong, and Dassan Dass ji writes back, ask yourself have you really NEVER don anything wrong? And also to understand that if we have physical or mental problems it is because we have slandered a Sant at some time in the past and that is why we are reaping whatever is written in sukhmani astpadi 13 - slandering a Sant.
It basically means that in ego we think we are ok, that we do our bhagti and think that we are doing something good and then expect rewards and spiritual gifts. However, then we complain when we dont get it, even theough we know its not the hukam to get it yet. So actually dont get disheartened, just step back and realise that another aspect of lower consciousness has reared its ugly head and is something else for us to work through.
Hearing that others are able to hear and communicate with Dassan Dass ji in astral form is nothing to get upset about, ask yourself why you got upset? Want attention, want acknowledgement, want praise , want spiritual powers? Get to the root cause of why you got upset and root out those lower consciousness desires too. Really we live in a day and age where you are communicating so easily with Dassan dass ji by email - isnt that a miracle by itslef, or even Dassan Dass ji can phone you - isnt that such a great miracle - so why get upset if we dont hear it in astral form? The point is for us to get the communication by whatever means and to put it into practise.
What really works is to keep noticing your own state of mind. When you are upset, frustrated, feeling betrayed, finding it hard to trust and so on, rather than acting on those feelings leading to complaining, questioning others motives and so on, really stop and step back. Look at those feelings like clouds in the sky, name them, find out their root cause within yourself, change them from complaining and blaming to positive thoughts i.e. what positive has come out from being betrayed, and relax.
The whole path is about achieving peace of mind, not about spiritual expereinces and astral travelling and whatever else we "imagine" is the Truth. Dassan Dass Ji said that peace of mind is another name of God. So aim for peace of mind, welcome anything that exposes aspects of lower consciousness, let it go and come back to peace. That is what we can do, let God do the rest.
Hope that helps, that is how we are progressing now after going through similar feelings you are expressing.

Questions about drink, drugs, sex, hair and identity, eating meat
REPLY FROM DASSAN DASS JI:
Friendship is not any kind of a sin, the real friendship means sacrifice which promotes true love and peace of mind, it is a relationship between two souls, there is nothing wrong being in love with someone, and if the two are in true love then why don't they get married and accept each other for life time, if there is any element of doubt and if there are any ifs and buts then the relationship is not true.
If the friendship is only for meeting the bodily needs and desires then that is not true friendship or true love, that is pure lust. Moreover, if the person is doing Naam Simran and has Gur Parsadi Naam and if he is really committed to the Gur and Guru and has full belief, faith and trust in the Naam, Gur and Guru then he should be able to get an answer by himself: Prabh Key Simran Sabh Kich Soojhey (In the remembrance of God, all things are known.), we are sure that he will get an answer by himself by praying to the Almighty.
Under the normal circumstances, it is better to be a married couple than an unmarried couple, what is the reason behind staying unmarried if you are committed to each other and you truly love each other and are sharing the sorrows and happiness of the life.
QN: Is there any difference if an unmarried couple is having sex, rather than a married couple? I.e. is sex before marriage wrong? Is sex before marriage LUST, but after marriage it is not?
There is obviously a great deal of difference between desire & lust and a true love, faith, trust, commitment and belief, lust is a "Tamo Birti" - a mental sickness that drags you away from the Almighty and in to the net of Maya, whereas a true love, faith, trust, commitment and belief are divine qualities and bring you closer to the God.
Married or unmarried for both this divine law is applicable, and if there is true love, faith, trust, commitment and belief between the two then why stay unmarried, staying unmarried will lack these divine qualities, which is not a true deed.
QN: Hi, I am a student and belong to sikh background. I keep my hair which we believe to be our identity however a lot of my friends in my class make fun of my hair which i dont really like and often end up in arguments. Please give some advice.
ANSWER: Do you really know what your true identity is? If yes, then please tell us what your identity is and what we are talking about here is your true identity, which is that your are the soul which is part of the infinite divine power and not the mind or the body. Any other identity which is connected with the outside world is man-made. So, please start working to seek your true identity which lives in your very ownself – infact it is your self and only God's grace of Naam, Naam Simran, Naam Ki Kamai, Puran Bandgi and Seva can help you find your real divine identity, so please pray for this gift on a constant basis, and we promise you that the day you findout and realise yourself from inside then all your questions will be answered from within your ownself, then the people who tease you will become your praisers – your disciples and they will start to follow in your footsteps.
QN: Is eating meat a sin?
Half of the Brahamand (world) is eating the other half every day, every moment, meat is just a food like anyother food, Jesus Christ served the fish to His followers, does that diminish His Braham Gyan ? Killing is not a Sat Karam, but denying the food is definitely a Non Sat Karam: Maas Maas kar Murakh Jhagrey, the only thing is that meat is a Tamo Bhojan, it brings in us more Tamo Guns, like animal instinct, lustful behavior inside us, so that is why some Sants and Bhagats don't eat meat, there is no other disadvantage in eating meat, there should be no desire for meat, but if it comes on dining table then saying no is like denying the hukam. We can just say it is the illusion – dubidha all religious vegetarians are living in. Any kind of dubidha is a roadblock on the path to the Sachkhand. (Ed Note: Whoever kills the animal will have to pay for that action unless there was no other food available. That karam is between the animal and the butcher. Not between the animal and the eater. Killing is a bad action, eating meat is not. Denying meat and calling it unholy and seeing meat eaters as less worthy than you is incorrect vision. You should have One Vision i.e. see God in meat, see God in the meat-eaters too and just see meat the same as any other food God gives you.)

Is sex and masturbation bad?
dandauth bandhna ji
like we said veer ji, you are not going to beat the five thieves especially KAAM in a few days or even a few years or even a few lifetimes.
Sex is the force running procreation - Baba Ji said to us that for a BrahmGyani the whole world is having sex ..meaning reproduction is taking place in flowers, animals, humans. And God has created it this way, the act of sex - wether in a plant or higher beings, is God's Temple. We call him Karta Purakh - He is the Creator, and the creation is being created in the act of union. So sex is not bad created by God to run His creation, to keep it going forwards. Sex is one of the most powerful forces inside all of us - why? Because God has put it inside us himself. So do not think that you or me can possibly get rid of this basic desire that is running us.
So what is bad, Baba ji also explained that sex is not bad, it is the desire for sex that is bad - desire for sex is called KAAM. Desires make something pure like sex into something saturated in maya. Desire for sex leads to all kinds of sex addictions, rapes, child abuse, self abuse and all kinds of extreme sexual behaviours.
How do we get our of the desire for sex and keep it pure?
Baba ji explained that with your partner dont desire sex, but if it happens then just go with the flow and keep doing your satnaam satnaam even during that process. And if another time sex doesnt happen then that is fine too. Its a matter of going with the flow and not chasing thedesire for sex.
So within marriage there is an outlet for the sex energy which is deeply plantedinside all of us by the Creator himself.
Well what about when we are not married, how do we have an outlet?
From peronsal expereince we will say there is no other option but to masterbate. If you try to resist for more than a week or two, your mind just things about sex all the time, it just gets worse and worse, causes more stress and causes us to see every women in a sexual way. But if you do masterbate, then you feel good and its a release, but then the mind kicks in and makes you feel guilty and bad and you send emails like this one - you send them and others send them too.
So you cant win!!! And that's not a good way to live with your mind, being in that state of mind will not be a good place for God to come and reside. So what can you do?
When we were single for many years and trying to fight with masturbation and sex thoughts, eventually we realised we can never control this sexual desire through our own means, because God Himself has put this inside us. So we fell at Guru Ji's feet and said "Waho Waho Sachay ma teree tek, hau papee thoo nirmal ek" ...Wondrous wondrous True Lord, I seek your shelter. I am a SINNER only you are the PERFECT ONE.
And that's it, just realise that I am always a sinner, and God is the Pure One. There is no way I can become pure through my own efforts. All we can do is learn to live with KAAM. Becuase until we do get married and KAAM serves its purpose for us to have children , only after that does it start to decrease and then only with Guru Ji's kirpa, otherwise it will only get worse.
So until you are at that stage and at that age, being single you will have to masturbate to have a release of all that sexual energy.
But what you can do is NOT feel guilty about it.
Just accept that it is an important part of your body's function.
That God has made you, me and everyone this way.
We asked baba ji once if it was wrong to masterbate and he replied, "Well your parents didnt teach you about sex. By masturbating god in you is teaching Himself about sex"
By masterbating it brings your mind out of stress and actually stops you having pent up sexual energy and seeing women as sex objects for weeks on end.
The only thing you have to deal with is the mental desires side.
So when you masturbate you are fantasising about some woman or the other or another.
Best thing to do is to just focus on Sat naam sat naam , and at most focus on your wife only (even though your not married, teach your mind to focus on your imaginary wife) Guru gobind singh ji wrote that we should love our wife more each day but not to even think about another women even in a dream (fantasy). So stop watching those kind of movies and images that make you fantasise about other's women.
So in summary , what we would like to say to everyone who is sending emails and feeling guilty about masturbating is that there is nothing wrong with masturbating, it is part and parcel of your body's natural function that God Himself has placed in you as a greatest gift to teach you about sex and for you to one day procreate and have kids etc.
The only thing that is bad is the desire for women other than your wife.
So please dont feel guilty about masterbating, just do your "satnaam" simran even at that time, enjoy it and have a release. But keep your mind focused on your wife (real or imaginary) rather than other women and avoid porn and situations that increase your lust.

REPLY:
Sat Naam Veer ji
Dandauth Bandhna Ji,
you said it right "no one ever told us this, we always thought that sex is bad but the true part was always missing."
When we were single and struggling with feelings of guilt about masterbation, we used to wear a blue bana and be full of guilt and lustful thoughts. We used to sit in gurdwara and listen to the "Sants" who came from India, but none of them every talked about this topic. No one ever told us how they overcame Kaam and masterbation and dealt with desire for sex. Yet all of these "Sants" are single and are surrounded by single young men. And being a single young man at that time, we could only think that these kinds of thoughts MUST be going through their mind all the time as well, so how are they dealing with it?
The only thing the "Sants" say about this topic is to see all women as your sister, mother, daughter except obviously your wife.
For themselves they have decided not to get married. Have you ever wondered why there is this tradition in Sikhism and why people following this lifestyle get so much respect? If they have decided not to get married and hence not to have sex either and dedicate themselves to God, then the masses like us start believing that sex must be bad and a barrier to God.
Even some of these Sants refuse to believe that the Guru's could have had sexual realtions with their wives - and when you ask but how did the guru ji's themselves have children they say that God did it (by magic). So this tradition of single men as Sants has been in Sikhism since the times after Guru gobind Singh ji. Where did it start? From Hinduism and it is in Budhism as well and evenin Chrstianity - monks exist everywhere as celibates. We read about their beliefs and basically the hindu yogis believe that we have lifeforce in us - true. But when we release our semen we WASTE our life force. By controlling the SEMEN and not releasing it, they attempt to accumulate as much life force as possible , which then through their yogic practises will go up their spine, give them the kundalini expereince, open their tenth door and merge them with the Light. That is the basic belief behind why they see sex/masterbation as bad. That is why they live single , celibate lives. They surround themselves with single men too and avoid the company of women to avoid lust and male/female issues that always end up arising. But it gets to the point where they have alot of prejudice against women. They see women as temptress, as tests for them. They see women having periods as impure, they have alot of prejudices against women. In Hinduism, there are many groups like this, the only difference is their holy man is called "Guru" wheras in Sikhsim the holy man is called "Sant". But the tradtion has come from Hinduism influencing Sikhsm after the times of Guru Gobind singh Ji.
When the British came into India, the true Nihangs, the real devotees of Guru gobind Singh where banished and went to Hazur Sahib because the British were afraid of these warriors. This then left a vacuum in Punjab, so they "sant" types of people who were from hindu influenced backgrounds became the preachers and the leaders for the sikhs. to the point that even in the golden temple there where idols and hindu relgious texts being read and taught by these Sikh Sants. These Sants never took the sikh initiation that the warrior Nihangs took, they were away from the miltiary and external side. But had there own initiation rites and beliefs including staying single, avoiding sex, being prejudice against women, and extreme vegetarianism.
What happened next was that the sikh leaders in the early 1900s realised that Sikhs were not organised and had been badly influenced by non-gurmat - non divine wisdom. So they made a system for all sikh preachers to follow, and that included the modern version of the "amrit ceremony" plus the rules and regualtions that go with it. If any sikh leader didnt accept this new policy they were not allowed to call themself sikhs. So what these hindu influenced "sants" did was just accept the new regulations. so they still preached their same old beliefs - sex is bad, vegetariansim, hindu type beliefs and so on, but made their initiation system the new modern amrit ceremony.
And now almost a hundred years later, we have these Sants in sikhism who are preaching and teaching a system that is far from gurbani and even guru gobind singh ji and the Eternal Truth, but the masses think it is the truth because for generations and generations its all what people remember.
That is why when yo start goinf deeply into these beliefs and history of them you find they are all false and copied from past belief systems. Even the ritual readings like Akhand Paat is from Budhism and Hinduism.
So that is why its best to have a livnig Master - the Master (God) lives in the heart of the true one. And that is why only someone like Baba Ji and Dassan Dass ji have been able to tell the complete truth for this day and age. but people find it hard to believe because they say "how can so many 'sants' be worng, how can million sof sikhs be wrong, how can sikh leaders be wrong, and just a bunch of you be right?"
Well Baba ji always says in that case ask yourself, in your family and past gerenations has there ever been a true Sant produced? In all the gurdwaras in the west has there ever been a true Sant produced? In Akal Takaht is there a true BrahmGyani sitting their running the Sikh world?
So only the true one can tell us the truth.
Ask questions, go deep and analyze the beliefs and things you have been taught to believe as true, but that haven't actually helped you to expereince whatever gurbani has told us.
O yes, and coming back to the topic, Baba ji also said its a false belief thinking that saving the semen increases life force. this is all gurParsaad only - by Gods grace an not by us controlling our bodies and minds thorugh suffering and supression.

Steps to undo our sins
it takes alot of courage to confess our sins. This self-awareness is God's blessing to you - GurParsaad.
Your desire to overcome this animal consciousness part of yourself - the five thieves is what is going to save you.
But its not easy, it will feel like you are taking two steps forward and one step backwards. Sometimes maybe one step
forward and two steps back, but the whole journey is about not giving up, to keep going forward.
Until we are BrahmGyani we all fail with the five thieves, but the BrahmGyani has given us a way to overcome this.
In the heat of the moment we succumb to the five thieves as you have described pushing your dad = krodh/anger, which is due to your haumai/ego. And watching those kind of moives is due to your Kaam/lust. So you couldn't stop yourself in the heat of the moment, which happens to all of us when the dhoots are strong and our discipline is low. but to overcome the damage we have done, we have the following steps:
Step 1) Becoming self aware to know which of the 5 thieves have just robbed us of our inner amrit.
Step 2) Confess to God-Guru-GurSangat (ccompany of the holy) as you have done - this humiliates our ego which then makes us feel small, and is the opposite of what ego wants us to do. Ego lives under the cover of darkness, it like to hide our sins under the
image and reputation we create in the world - look and talk good on the outside, but sinful on the inside. so Baba Ji said our deeds have to be naked, what we are on the inside has to be the same on the outside. So we have to keep exposing all of our sins in order for them to not obe able to overpower us, or make us feel guilty or make us into a hypocrite.
Step 3) You have to practically make up for the hurt and harm you have caused. By pushing your dad or using aggressive words, you have hurt God in His heart, the very God you are trying to please. So you have to apologize to your father and touch his feet.
It doesnt matter if are winning an argument with our parents if it causes pride and ego or anger in us, then actually we have lost, so just realise that and touch their feet right their and then.
Also put in some self controls to stop you getting into the situation where you know you will become angry or lustful. So dont use your computer in private for example, because you wouldnt watch those kind of images and movies if your family was sitting around you. Also avoid getting into those conversations with your dad that trigger you. when you notice you are getting annoyed, that is the time to take a deep breath, get up and go for a long walk to calm down.
Step 4) Forgive others for what they have done to you and most importantly forgive yourself for losing control. Once you have gone through the above steps, then dont think about this bad deed again. Dont keep beating yourself up about how bad you are - that only leads to a bad state of mind. These steps are to free your mind of guilt and fear. Be kind to your mind. It has taken you all of your years on this earth and even past lives to come up with these bad habits, so now its going to take a while to unlearn them.
Step 5) do ardas to satguru satnaam ji and become dedicated in doing seva and simran in those hours where you would have watched lustful movies. go to the Gurdwara do shoe seva, wash dishes, prepare langar, serve and do satnaam. Whilst cleaning the shoes, keep saying to God-Guru ji, make everyone into a Sant and make me the dust of their feet. Whilst washing the dishes, keep saying "guru ji please clean up the stains on my soul like we are cleaning the filth off these dishes."
God Bless You

Couple of questions
Sat Naam Ji Dearest Dassan Dass Ji,Dandauth Bandhna Ji,thankyou for your blessings at the sangat on Sunday ji, your presence was strongly felt and appreciated. Susan Ji mentioned she had a full conversation with your astral form about getting up at amritvela, she wa asking for forgiveness for not doing it and god through you ji, was asking her to please to keep on making efforts "kawtious karo".Couple of questions pls:1) When we were talking with the sangat, some of the sangat mentioned they drink for various reasons.Some were not aware that there are any restrictions on this path about eating and drinking, to which we replied that Baba ji has asked us to refrain from drinking and to give up chasing desires.If you think it is useful , could you clarify about things we should refrain from. We know you have mentioned many times things on the inside like five thieves, but people dont translate that very well when it comes to their practical actions.2) Lot of young people have boyfriend/girlfriend relationships with a view to getting married in future, would you advise them to stop having sex before marriage - does it matter, is it just karma anyway? Stop drinking and perhaps even doing drugs? We know you advised Baljinder paji in India to stop drinking and stop hunting.We know you stress doing 2.5 hrs of simran and giving daswandh which we do emphasise to the sangat, but pray they can get to one day.Would it be useful to have a list of practical do's and dont's once they receive the GurParsaadi Naam, or this making this into too much of a religion?3) In the past when we were getting up early and doing amritvela we thought we were dozing off and having dreams as part of sleep. But sometimes these dreams would be meeting Sant who gave us blessings, meeting yourself and baba ji too. Othertimes they were just silly dreams. Othertimes we would see relatives and hear the same SATNAAM SATNAAM chanting happening as part of the dream, as the CD that is playing when we sit to do simran. Is this all just dream states?After that we have started trying to be more alert and not to drift off into this dream like state and just to keep the mind focused on the satnaam & mool manter mixed in.But on talking to Namjeevan ji, she said that the first way was better, to be a little tired, to get up at 1 am, to do our simran and to drift in and out of these "dream like" states - that was the best thing -whcich we can understand as we go into spiritual realms.Last couple of morning we have been doing that again, and yesterday we felt like we were flying around everywhere in our dream - which normally hapens whn we feel our pressure has gone. Also a nindak of ours and baba ji - our cousin from Luton, who has come into our dreams before as being angry, was actually giving us big hugs this time!!This morning we saw the sangat of Luton gurdwara and some committee members talking at a wedding, they had long hair growing on their hands ..bit like when you said in one of your visions the hair was growing on your leg and represented filth and was cleaned up. But some young amrit-dhari singhs at the back where chanting with great joy "satnaam satnaam satnaam" after being sinpired by the website articles, chanting the just the same as the joyous SATNAAM track we play in the background. Other people in the sangat were complaining they were too loud! Are these just dreams because i have dozed off, or are they helping us to go forward spiritually? We dont want to get lost in this kind of sleep/dreamworld.Yesterday evening we sat alert and put kirtan on after work and did osome yoga followed by our simran and mool manter like we used to when going to the gurdwara after work. After a while we felt more love and light than we have for a while, but we were alert and not drifting off into any kind of dream state. This was also how we used to do simran when we were blessed with "seeing the light" in the kundalini expereince we had in 1996 - fully alert and focued. The question is ji, is this a better state and way to do simran, than the dreamy state at amrtivela?Please show us the right way ji.Please forigve us for all of our mistakes known and unknown.Please bless all the penjis in the sangat who found it very emotional in sangat yesterday. One mentioned seeinth light, but at the same time she knows shee has done something very wrong but doesnt know what. We adivsed that you always ask us to pray for forgivness for our mistakes - known and unknown at all times, for her to keep praying like this everytme those thoughts come and to keep on passing it up to God rather than keeping it within whcih will just make her sick.Dust of your feetHarjit

Hi Raj
Living in a quarrelsome house is quite destructive and almost inevitably terminal for both your relationship and your well-being, and is the pits for any future child to have to live in. There is no magic bullet to keep you together, and happily so. Relationships do not turn to shit in 12 months, unless the shit was there in the first place, undetected.
Either mutually enter into a lengthy process of building calm orderly communication between you (this is process training, not coping or masking techniques), or cut your losses. In which case, review everything to do with both you and your partner's motives for marrying, and whether the negative indicators were there before you married ie whether you were fully and evenly equipped for a successful relationship. Keep your notes, seek healing and personal growth for its own sake, and do the whole thing better next time.
Falling in love is not a good enough reason by itself for marrying, but the ability to actively love and keep on loving regardless of whatever comes is the first ingredient.
Go well
Paul

Understanding HUKAM - God's Command - Part 2
The entire divinity and spirituality revolves around Naam: "Bin Naavey Nahin Ko Thaon". The entire creation is based on Naam. There is no place in the entire creation which is not standing on this foundation of Naam the foundation of Eternal Truth "SAT" which is the Naam. The entire Gurbani is the Mahima of Naam. Every Shabad of Gurbani takes us down to the Origin The Naam. Naam is the Amrit, never dies, is eternal, ever present, nonperishable, eternal truth, primal truth, and with only Naam Simran we can reach the ultimate heights of spiritual world."
3) Obey our inner Hukam
We also are receiving a personal Hukam - command, from God at all times from our soul - our inner Jyot/Light. but for most people this inner voice, or intuition, gets drowned under the overpowering thoughts resulting from Maya running our mind. So that is why for most people they need to go to a BrahmGiani to understand what their soul is telling them. At a personal level, once we do start getting in tune with our intuition we will always make the right decisions, the choices that benefit everyone. However following our intuition is not the same as following our desires. But once we leanr to tune into intuition, that is tuningin into our personal Hukam from god/our soul to us at all times. A BrahmGiani is the one who is 100% tuned into this personal HUKAM. Everyday when we sit for Naam simran we are tuning into this - into our Jyot. Before we make any decisions especially ones that are confusing us (confusion =maya), just sit close our eyes and listen within for what feels right in our heart (hirdha=heart chakra) - but dont confuse this with getting excited becuase it is going to fulfill our desires.

Understanding HUKAM - God;s Command
QN:
Just read your excellent reply below. Thank you.
I wanted to know the following: if everything is under Gods Hukam, "Hukmai undarr sab ko barr humkan na koi" then are our efforts for doing good deeds (or on the flip side doing wrong/bad deeds) in Gods control too? Or is it just as simple as, do good and God realises and takes care of the rest!
Fateh.
