Symptoms of Spiritual Sickness From discussion forum
Here are some symptoms that your spiritual Jeevan is in trouble:
Slipping amrit vela and even attempts to wake up are not successful. Waking up consistently after amrit vela is the eventual conclusion of this trend.
Increased time on internet and in front of TV
Less paath and missing banis; no desire to do paath
Dropping "small" rehits like doing keshi ishnaan, doing kangha twice a day etc
Less concentration and ability to do paath and simran
Less desire to go to gurdwara and stay in sangat
Increased vikaar especially anger and kaam
Rationalizing faults and mistakes in rehit as "acceptable" and "understandable" or "I'll fix it later..."
*Root Causes:*
Serious mistake in personal rehit
Ego and pride
Looking down and belitting other Gursikhs
*Cure:*
Ardaas to Guru Sahib for forgiveness
Speaking to other Gursikhs about problems
Peshi before punj pyarai for serious mistakes in rehit
Going to sangat even if there is no desire. Forcing yourself to fo no matter what.
*Note*: It's best to recognize the sickness early and combat it. Otherwise, things keep getting worse till you're in real trouble and recovery is a big uphill battle.
