How do we do simran in such state when there s no peace at all ?<br /><br />The fear is a dominating emotion looking at the difficulties of worldly life. This is because of our attitude. We associate and develop behaviour which has fear as originator.<br />We associate with the five vices.<br /><br />Feeling important out of ego we often get angry.<br />Feeling attached and having desires leads to feeling of victim , guilt.<br />We feel possessive. We feel there is not enough. <br />Concerned about future we have anxieties.<br /><br />Gurbani asks us to build proper attitudes. <br />- When all is HIS then where would be possessiveness.<br />- with HIM as father ,mother and friend to take care where would be anxiety.<br />- when one is loving and forgiving towards others how can anger come.<br />- when one feels protected by HIM how can fear be there.<br /><br />Out thoughts have to be regularly checked and corrected.<br /><br />DO NOT THINK CONTRARY THOUGHTS TO WHAT IS BEING DESIRED. it only means lack of faith ,so lack of belief.<br />BELIEF has to be developed. Ask waheguruji for small favours as one asks a parent. Seeing these fulfilled then the belief develops. <br />Avoid negative talk, avoid gossip, avoid negative news viewing.<br />Expect positive. Be positive.<br /><br /><br /><br />Are we suppose to do simran without asking anything in return ?<br /><br /><br /><br />Life is to be lived with GOD. Life is to be lived with HIM along with us.Life is to be lived with awareness of HIS presence.Life is to be lived with joy.<br /><br />Asking is a part of simran . Asking creates association. Asking brings closeness. So do ask. But asking to be possessive or with a negative purpose is not desirable. Neither serves any purpose.<br /><br /><br /> Then how can we do ardaas if we have problems?<br /><br />Ardas is simply to ask. We fear to go closer to GOD. probably we think that we are not deserving.<br /><br />.. comment reply continued<br /><br />Gurbani guides that we should treat our body as HIS temple. We should love ourself too. Not from ego but being part of HIS brilliant creation.<br />Shed and ignore feeling that we are undeserving.<br />Know that HE is ever forgiving, unconditionally loving and ever pleasant to talk.HE does not have moods like us , but in HIS creation it is so.<br /><br />Ardas is also a way to create closeness. Gurbani has named aspect of GOD that vibrates all around as Shabad Guru. It is easy this way so talk to Shabad Guru within . Seek guidance .<br />Shabd , Hukam and Naam are the ways HE is in the creation.<br /><br />Talk to GOD.Have conversationgurmit singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821361585623623391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26326592.post-52336582326757662472016-03-18T12:48:31.965+05:302016-03-18T12:48:31.965+05:30Dalvinder ji

The questions are taken o...Dalvinder ji<br /><br />WJKK WJKF<br /><br />The questions are taken one by one:<br /><br />is posture important when doing simran ? and what if we fall asleep while doing simran ?<br /><br />Posture is not important. We however feel it is so looking at drawings/paintings of Guru's and Bhagats. The cross legged sitting position has thus been associated with it. This is generally used sitting position in Gurdwaras ( now even chairs are being placed for those who find difficult to sit cross legged).<br />For simran posture is not a prerequisite and neither important.<br /><br /> Gurrbani guides that <br />"Uthdhia Behndia Sutihan sada sada Har Naam Dhiaeh jan Nanak Gurmukh Har Lahieh. " - pana 594<br />'Chalat Baithet Sovat Jagat Guru Mantra Rideh Chitar' - pana 1006<br /><br />Simran is to be done while sitting , walking and even reclining position during sleep.<br /><br />Simran leads to relaxed mind state . Sleep issue is faced by all. <br /><br />During one of my visit to Goindwal Sahib we had gone to look at the house where Sri Guru Amar Dass ji long before being Guru , use to take help of a "killi"( large size/iron nail ) during meditation. He use to tie his hair knot to that killi, so that if fell asleep then the jerk on hairs would awaken him. <br />( I do not recommend this but is being referred to focus on two as aspect - one position for simran and second sleep issue ).<br /><br />My personal opinion is that reason sleep comes is because of the dry state of jap. We keep repeating gurumanter in a dry manner. So it induces sleep. Even during meditation with eyes closed a relaxed state is induced leading to sleep.<br /><br />When gurbani's guidance is followed then this problem is overcome.<br />- Gurbani asks to do simran in a state of 'Bhav" meaning loving feeling.<br />- Gurbani advises our focus should be on the 'ONE'. The creator is not visible , neither has any form. But HE is every where and knows/hears everything. HE is in the creation as support. HIS power creates. HIS created system runs the creation. the maya (illusion) or Brahm is so strong that contrary is seen and believed. Simran is to go beyond by accepting truth of gurbani and stating it again and again as truth so that mind should not ignore but accepts it.<br /><br />Do Simran with 'Waho' as gurbani advises. Look at the beauty of creation. At the technology in creation. At the vastness in creation. At the perfect functioning in creation. LOOK AT THE HAND OF CREATOR. <br />KNOW AND FEEL HE is there very much present in everything . HE being running the body and experiencing the world through YOU.<br />Gurbani says HE is both sides . ONE who is being remembered and one remembering.<br />Best way is to repeat gurbani pungtees during simran as well.<br />The sleep would not come.<br />When simran is done walking how can there be sleep , (keep the awareness within even when eyes are open).<br />When simran is done while sitting and HIS presence is being belived even though not actually felt initially then sleep would not be there.With HIS kirpa the Hazuri is felt.<br /><br /><br /> is the quantity( time for simran ) more important or the quality of simran ( focus ) ?<br /><br /><br />The simran has to be done as per Gurbani's advise and guidance otherwise it would not be fruitful irrespective of time jap is done. Infact Simran is when one remembers GOD otherwise it is just is repeating of gurumanter word. There is no idea,focus,feeling which has been associated with the jap to make it simran.<br /><br />..continued <br />gurmit singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821361585623623391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26326592.post-61599119166533960682016-03-18T01:24:49.244+05:302016-03-18T01:24:49.244+05:30Veer ji
