Satnaam Veer Ji,
Dandauth bandhna Ji,
Dandauth bandhna Ji,
You are speaking from a place of hurt and betrayal,you want to believe and trust in someone again, but are guarded to protect yourself from beign hurt again. At the same time this prevents you from completely falling in love and surrendering. It is taking time to rebuild trust , but trust is the basis of love, and love is the spirngboard to the Almighty.
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.
