satnaam eikmeer ji, we all get addicted to something in life of maya, baba ji said biggest addiction is ego. we were addicted to tv, only this last year we now hardly watch it, but started young like you. if we add up the tens of thousdands of hours we must have watched tv for over over our life, imagine we had put that time into learning an instrument ...they say it takes 10,000 hrs to master an instrument or become top sportsperson, or imagine you put that time into gurparsaadi naam, seva and bandagi ...what will you be like by the time you are our age 44? Every hour you sacrifice of game and put into bandagi, will add up to 10,000 hours over your life ...you will be master of whatever direction you go into. Rather than another addict, loser to maya, like tens of thousands around you. Your choice.
Eikmeer ji , also look how hard it is to give up addiction that you have probably onky made in the last few years. Now imagine how impossible it will be by the time you are our age!
We used to watch so much tv in childhood because we see the outside world, otherwise we are trapped at home. Then those programmes give us false dreams, and also later whenever we were down /lonely tv gave us sense of community,exctiement, but we got caught in lust and other dhoots too.
So same with games, you are young, baba ji says young people are going into maya looking for sukh, we are older and trying to come out after getting dukh. Games and most tv fulfill our boredom, games give u a challenge , excitement, escapism..you can forget about your real life for a while..
But as pritam ji says, they steal your life, and as dassan dass ji says they leave us in hell state of mind, and later real hell as well.
