Hi I need help. I am very confused and depressed. I hope I can make u understand what I saying to you. From the last year, I am depressed in my life with family problem. I tried to talk to my friends but they also can’t help me. I didn’t know whom to talk? I know its sound silly. So I decided to see an Astrologer. I went and talked to him about my problem. And he started telling me about my life former life (not this life). He was you did really bad things with other people and you hurt so many people. That’s why you also suffering now. You are in pain because of your previous lives. You can’t be happy in this life. You always cry and you just can wish for good or happy time. It will come but this happy time will go away from you very fast. Because I did very bad krama in my precious life. I got really shock that time. I told him that I always do paath. I read Jabji Shiab everyday. He said this is good but this also your fate that wrote by God. He also mentions me that this is my fourth life. He also point out that there is ghost in my home. Every person in my family does paath twice a day. How come this happened to my home?

I don’t know should I believe on him or not. But I heard that there is no life after death. But my grandma told me that we, Sikh believe that we always born as human being only once. Then how come this is my fourth lives. I never ever try to hurt anyone if I did I always feel guilty and try to improve myself and say sorry but I meant. I always try not to lie to anyone or hurt anyone’s feeling. Then why I am suffering? Now I am very scare I think I shouldn’t go there. I don’t know what is right or wrong. Please help me and guide me.

(REPLY) Sat Nam. Please, please, please stay away from that Astrologer! He is just putting fear into your mind and this is absolutely wrong! Yes, it is true that we come into this world with karma from past lives (not just one, by the way) but by the grace of God and Guru we CAN BE HAPPY when we make the best of every situation that comes to us, and live according to the Gurus teachings. It may sound strange to you, but I think you need to consider what sort of food you are eating, because sometimes depression can come from diet. It can be a glandular imbalance as well. You need to do some really, really positive thinking, and use affirmations constantly whenever you feel yourself being unhappy and negative, say, for instance, "Healthy am I , Happy am I, Holy am I." For this is actually TRUE, if not manifesting right here and now. But the more you find ways to be grateful for everything in your life, the more you try to help others -- and forget about yourself -- the happier you will be. Again, I sincerely tell you that a legitimate Astrologer will never put fear and hopelessness into your mind -- I believe he or she is trying to control you, so please stay away. Read from Siri Guru Granth Sahib, get your guidance from the Guru. Chant God's Name. We have all these techniques to make us kind, fearless, courageous and compassionate human beings and take us closer to experiencing ANG SANG WAHE GURU. God bless you and Guru guide you. SP
