Why does bad stuff happen to me?

Donate to SikhNet -
bit.ly/sikhnet-donations A SikhNet visitor asked the question of why bad stuff happens to them even though they are a 'Good Sikh'. "My parents won't let me do this....so and so died...has illness...not doing well.. I'm good...do my banis...get up in the morning...and yet all this stuff happens to me? Does the Guru/God not like me?".
In this latest SikhNet video myself and Guruka Singh talk about this subject. What do you think? When challenges or hardships come in your life how to you process this and relate to what is happening?

I'm an agnostic Irishman living in England. I chanced upon Guruka Singh's videos on You Tube this morning. He is a very well-balanced, extremely insightful and inspirational human being and also appears to be extremely considerate. What a wonderful friend he must be.

[@SavannahVu1985]

I love how he explains everything in a manner that everyone can understand. I'm 21 and catholic but I love listening to him and his wise words. So wise and down to earth.

[@Harmuthkuthanapalithi]

as long as you are true to your path and dharam you are a khalsa in the eyes of god free from 5 vices

[@hemrav269]

Satnam!..God bless Guruka Singhji and his team for all these videos and enlightenment

[@dineshsinghyadav9760]

watching Guru ka Singh’s video and seeing him answering questions is so therapeutic

[@happyday5036]

a beautiful and kind human being

[@xckthxvrna]

"Don't ask why, ask WHAT.." that's what my teacher tells me. What is the lesson that I must learn? What is the way that I must grow because of this hardship? Asking 'Why God why?' is a waste of energy

Wow i just got into a bad fender bender and was so upset by this . When the rental car driver picked me up , i started reliving it sadly.... he answer back to me was “shit happens” and nothing more . It really struck me as enlightening. And now here I stumble across this video . Wahe Guru thank you so much

[@mysticarts8787]

I feel sooo honored to even get to listen to you...waheguru ji bless you all..i loveeee loveee absolutely loveeee you all and ur work..im speechless.....

[@xckthxvrna]

"Whatever happens is sweet" ...my prayer is that I remember this!

[@mountainbliss4u]

This is simply brilliant. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@punkaliciouzz121]

Thank You! It's just what I needed. I was thinking to myself today..I had a crappy time at work but had an awesome time afterwards at soccer practice. I saw the first one as a "bad" thing and the 2nd one as a "good" thing..but now I see they were both gifts from the guru and its all about how I view it. P.S. I subscribed to the daily hukamnama. Its great. I feel closer to the Lord.

For Gurmustuk: at around 6:00 when you say about the negativity. I am a college student and everyone around me is a teen (including me) Trust me! we teens have lot of problems and questions, we are curious and are not easily satisfied. But whenever i have any question, i first of all search for your videos, and i always get my answer. I recommend these videos to my friends and they also thank me for referring these videos. These videos are great,, keep up the good work.. And i

[@Booklover32]

larry monroe You bring up a valid counter-argument and I'm grateful for that. It is always good to question. This is similar to the beliefs in the philosophy Stoicism. Evil is in your opinion of evil. Like your opinion leads to more suffering. Why does one man eagerly kill himself while another man fights his attacker but is murdered? The difference is in their opinions. The Stoics did not advocate rape or murder, in fact, they were staunchly against these things. But they taught that your opinion is what causes your suffering. Similar to what is said here only in different words.

[@sisterdiggins]

The frame of reference ! Yes !

[@GurvinderSingh1]

[@jaybishop1533]

I get bullied and hate it on everyday now and i can't find other way for peace noting but darkness all around and they say good things can happen but not for me so that means karma and good not real anymore

[@93Dholi]

Understand that in life there are things that happen, some will class it as good where as others will class that exact thing as bad. Getting bullied is obviously not great, but what you need to realise is you cannot control others actions but this doesnt mean do nothing, it means you need to get out of the situation. How? Well first confide in people and let them know what is happening to you. Use this experience to make yourself stronger. Why are you getting bullied, is it just a mean kid or have you done something to them and hence this is their reaction. You need to step back and assess the situation. Tell your parents teachers and other that can help what the problem is and what your feeling. The type of thought you heard in this video wont make sense to you yet because your in a situation that society classes as bad. But once you are out of the situation and you have gotten help and you are no longer being bullied, then think about the past and better yourself for the future. Only then when you have done that you will realise that what was happening to you has happened and made you who you are today and that although it seemed bad then, now you understand why it happened and how it helped you become who you are today. I know this as i too was bullied and even though i still feel like i wish everything was perfect the reality is nothing in this world is perfect and nor will it be. Everyone has phases in life that they class as good or bad but know this, in life what is good or bad is based on perception and everyone has their own opinions on perception. Try and seek help and get out of this situation and then once your out look for ways to prevent it happening again and ways to better yourself

[@ElissaNWOPrincess]

Love your videos

[@conormcgregor4083]

How can there be not good and not bad. There's the devil and there's god. That's good and bad. Good makes you feel happy and bad makes you suffer. It's the way you feel. You can't change that.

[@excite236]

guru ji i love you man

[@84LA84]

Guru Ji?

[@appaapnafurka]

Waheguru

[@Beanmachine91]

some people are just plain asking for it

[@snapsnapdik]

Bad and good are things made up by our minds. Healthy and unhealthy are natural laws and will be the same for everyone. Rape is an act from a disturbed mind, murder comes from a disturbed mind, but you can't label them as right or wrong, as that opinion differs from person to person. Don't use the label bad or good, use healthy and unhealthy and grow from there.

[@gareththomas8199]

story of my life:shit happens.....

[@Youareashoe]

@desifool2cool4ya Whatever is going to happen is based on karma wearing rocks isn't going to stop karma

[@LarryMonroe26]

If someone gets raped isn't that bad? If innocent people are murdered for no reason, isn't that bad? I don't see how violence and other horrible things that happen in this world can't be seen as bad. Please explain how these things aren't bad.

[@mrcocoloco7200]

Oh deer man you don't get it.
