Harsharan veer ji,

 i cannot sit down to do simran, i started doing it in the evenings but it wasn't quiet enough but i did feel the difference i did feel peaceful ... i tried at amrit vela after doing nitnem but that was way to hard i feel fell asleep, in all honesty i don't have enough motivation to stay awake at amrit vela for a little longer .... especially as when i do meditate in actual fact all i am doing is still thinking about worldly thoughts ... life is so busy i just don't understand where i can get the time from... im still young yet its scary to think as i get older ill have less time and maybe i will never have time

 

Usernametaken Pen Jee,

when you say you have no desire to do simran or saas saas simran, do you know who is saying this?

It is your mind who does not want to do it and find all types of excuses.

Usually when one is sick, one does not want to take the medicines because they maybe bitter, but, one has no options, if one really wants to recover from the germs or virus which are the cause of our sickness.

One follows the prescribed medicines  by the doctor at regular intervals, only then one is cured.

We are also sick, we have lost our health, freedom, happiness ...since aeons, since we left our True Father Wahiguru´s house.

The mind has been running after maya since then, so naturally it feels suffocated and does not get the taste of Naam, due to being severly attacked by the germs of vikars and maya.

But nevertheless, that Wahiguru´s Naam is the real medicine to get cured. Do not worry if you are dry or not feel any motivation in doing it, you just do it, It will go inside and work wonders, just do it and see.

You may have apparently lost your love, devotion, desire in doing Bhakti, but thank god, you have not lost your sense of understanding/comphrension. And you know, what the Bani says about the Bhakti of the simran of Naam, just go through Sukhmani Sahib in its starting ANGS....

You see, we are all heavy sinners, we by ourselves will never feel His missing, understand His wadeeayee, His kirpa, and we have nothing to give Him, which He has not already.

But there is one thing which you can surely give Him, and that thing which  He appreciates it the most, is your time spent in His rememberance.

He has not asked us for results, so do not worry. as we are all failures. And He knows that, that is why He does ask us any difficult things, but just our time, like a child who spends his/her time with the Father.

We may not see Him, but He is surely watching us, how we spend some time for him in His rememberance, for Him only.

And when one does that regularly, what happens then?

We invoke His Kirpa on us, which fills us with His blessings, and turn ourselves out from a dry land into a green meadow.

This is the secret in spirituality, His apaar Kirpa.

We must remain as kookars at His door at all times; when He Kul Malik, thinks it  fit, He will open the door and let us in.

But what a pity, if ever He opens His door, and by bad luck of ours, we are not there, because we got tired and got up and went away.

No no no, that is not the right attiude.  If we feel empty, then it is only He who can fill our jholees, but for that, we have to be there, and to be there, we have to stay in His remeberance each and everyday, at His sharan, through His Simran.

So never ever say, I have no desire; as desires arise in the mind, and mind is untruth.

The soul/jeev atma, is the sikh of the Guru/Wahiguru, and as such, entertains no desires, except that of pleasing the Beloved through Bhakti as its true nature.

This is sikhee in a nuthell, as per  Gurmat.

God bless you.

Sat Sree Akal.

In addition to the post above, I would like to present here  the following divine sat bachans in Raag Asa of  Dhan Dhan Satguru Amar Das Maharaj:

"ਆਪਣੈ ਹਥਿ ਵਡਿਆਈਆ ਦੇ ਨਾਮੇ ਲਾਏ

Apanai Hathh Vaddiaeea Dhae Namae Laeae

आपणै हथि वडिआईआ दे नामे लाए

Glory is in His Hands; He bestows His Name, and attaches us to it."

 

You see, here He is telling us that we do the Bhakti of His Simran, when He creates that desire in us, then only we can repeat His paviter Naam. It is not at all by our merits, or efforts, that we even think about Him. It is all His kirpa.

Having said that, this does not mean, we can say: oh only when He wants me to meditate on Him, shall I succeed in doing it, so as I do not derive any liking in doing it, I shall leave it and do some other substitute activities... This is all the play of mind, who just wants excuses in not doing the real thing of our lives, which is rememebering Him through His Simran.

It is o.k, if we have not yet that His grace of doing the right bhakti, but, we also know through Guru Sahiban, He is an Infinte Ocean of love and mercy. We are told, He is the bestower of all comforts, everything is in His hands, so why not start knocking at His door to ask a boond of His apaar kirpa.

So, what is that knocking at His door?

It is sitting in doing His Bhajan Bandagee, even if our minds do not accompany us, and tell Him, Sachay Patshah, I know I am unfit to repeat your Holy Name, but nevertheless, I place myself at your Lotus Feet, and I have heard Your Name ferries across even the stones, so in that hope, knowing myself as being unworthy and a  a heavy sinner, so listen to my benti  and please shower me with your Gurparsad whenever You think fit, for I am not going to move from Your door, hey Sachay Patshah.

 

Sat Sree Akal.

To the OP, to be a balanced soul, 

 

9-5 work

6-7 Gym

Evening meditate.

Sit up on your bed at 12:30-1am. Listen to the ringing noise you hear when u relax, that's anhad naad- the primal sound. It's the sound from which we were created, Sat, Truth. 

 

Relax and let go, and enjoy- let the samadhi take you. Have no expectation of what the experience should look like or feel like. Samadhi is where we silence the mind so we can just Feel within our being. 

 

Maharaj sat sat in the Silence, in the primal void spoken about in Gurbani for many ages, it is our true origin.
