Summary of Question:	loss of faith
Category:	Other
Date Posted:	Sunday, 7/09/2000 3:00 PM MDT

I went thru a phase in life where I questioned the existance of God but Guruji let me keep my faith in God. But i feel horrible that i had to listen to stories of miracles in our family to keep my faith. Whats worse is as i was going thru this phase somebody told me that people changed lines in Guru Grunth Sahib Ji and she also told me that not every story written of Guruji really happened so then I lost my faith in Guruji i had no basis for truth for awhile . My problem is that now whenever i pray i have to go thru all the evidences in my mind that prove Guruji is true and that God exists. I try so hard to feel God but my mind holds me back. Right now i feel so far away from the Lord. How do i get my mind to believe again ?Please help me because i have a tremendous amount of guilt?

Thank you so much

I don't understand why you have to prove God exists. How do you prove God doesn't exist? Did you create yourself? Did you make the entire cosmos? Who did? Was it someone you know?
Science has now proven that there is nothing solid in creation. All atoms are made of smaller particles that are made of energy. All this energy forms into a physical world. How does all this random energy form into a totally coordinated universe with laws that govern everything? By chance? What are the odds of that?
You need to meditate and experience that you are God. That is how I came to understand who I am and what God is. God is not somewhere else far away. You are it, it is you.
Sit with your spine straight and close your eyes. Inhale through the nose, long slow and deep. Mentally sound "Wha" as you inhale. Then exhale slowly, mentally sounding "Guru". Sit for at least 31 minutes a day. You can be in that infinity and know for yourself. You don't need others to tell you.
