I have heard some people saying that one should not discuss their personal problems with their shaykh. But often times, it so happens that a mureed, overwhelmed by such problems, loses interest/motivation to do his maamoolaat. As a result, he/she falls ill spiritually.
What should one do in such a case? When the Shaykh doesnt reply to your emails? And people dont give you any suggestions that could be acted upon practically?

JazakumULLAH Khair,
Wassalam ma'al-ikram

ofcourse maulana taliban sahab would be a better person to answer.. i was just fortunate once to be in the company of my shaikh sahab db.. reading out mails of mureedin to him and answering back on his behalf.. ( he is very old and has difficulty reading)..

those mails of mureedin who had somehow left mamoolat and were on a spiritual low..some falling back to sins.. hazrat would ask them to do salatul tauba.. plenty of istighfar.. and restart their mamoolat.. asking them to continue mailing.. giving them hikayat according to thier halaat..

well if the shaikh is far away and a majaaz of the shaikh lives nearby.. then the majaaz could be motivational.. ofcourse with due permission from the shaikh.. and even if that is not possible.. then the books written by the shaikh.. or mashaikh of the silsila could be helpful..

all such high's and low's are common with mureedin be it beginners or advanced.. just like the the rhythm of an ECG.. when there is life.. there is a pattern.. be it the spiking feel good factor of basat or the depressing low of qabd..
the shaikh acts like the pacemaker at times.. controlling the rhythm with either.. azkar..ashghal..tawajjuh.. hikayat or most important dua..

wa assalam..
