Popular Post das Posted March 20, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Best of luck bhaji, may God bless you and your family. Raab tuhade sir te hath rakh ke tuhade too path karvave. Let me request you the following that I've learnt personally. I'm NOT suggesting you anything. Just merely stating what have been instructed by many Sants and Mahatamas. Do Mool-mantar till "Nanak Hose Bhe Sach". Try doing 6 malas everyday of 108 beads for One Full Year. It will roughly be 236520. Do NOT miss a day. Nice to have: Would be great if you could do it, otherwise it's okay. If possible, make sure that you do your mala each day on the same time and same place. If possible, use the mala 108 + 1 (Meru bead: It is the quiding bead, the one that marks the beginning and end of the mala.) beads. The following is NOT suggested by Sant (I haven't heard), but based upon the facts that these malas were extensively used in the past and special significance of wool in energy. If possible, use the mala made of white wool. Edited March 20, 2014 by das 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 What is your reason for posting publicly? Most people do it so they feel motivated. Is that your case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1176 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 When I was asked to do a shabad jaap the vidi was to put a glass of water near by, say the jaap loud enough so that the sound reaches the water. After finishing the jaap drink the shabad amrit. If doing jaap out aloud put your dhyan just in front of your mouth where you can hear the sound. Make the mind sit in that spot and listen to what comes out. You will notice when your doing it with 100% focus or when your just japping with the mouth but the mind has gone off in flights of thought. Bring it back to this spot and make it sit and listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Ok then. I would say do not search for motivation. Try to cultivate a sense of discipline instead. Motivation is a external stimuli, it will only hype you up for a short while before you revert back to your old habits. ie you speak to some baba, or read some story of some Sikh who did bandgi, or listen to some tony Robbins speeches. These will motivate you for a few days but them you will get tired and give up. That motivation will fast dissipate when you come home after a hard day at work and need to do your bhajan but are too dog tired. Or if your wifey wants you to go shopping with her or if you come down with the sniffles! What you need for this matter or anything else in life is to develop a sense of soldierly, hardcore discipline. No matter how tired you are, how much workload you have waiting, how much the wife yells at you to do some chores; you will prioritise and do your bandgi first. Discipline is an internal state of mind, way of thought, a personal trait/character. There are some books or audio by Brian Tracy on developing personal discipline. Try searching the net for it. I did have a PDF copy but lost a lot of works when my computer broke down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think it was yogi bhajan who said it takes 40 days to create or break a habit. After that it becomes second nature. So make a plan to do your path for 40 days straight. Use cast iron discipline to make yourself complete that . Then hope fully after that time it would become ingrained into your nature to do it daily and won't seem much of an effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) true words suryadev! definitely, discipline is much needed. just came from work, had a shitty day at work , got yelled at by a senior even without my fault, eyes are tired but still gotta follow the discipline. I pray to Guru ji for strength. Edited March 24, 2014 by Ragmaala 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 missed it x3 days due to traveling,also feeling distracted by thoughts. feel as if the original motivation has evaporated off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Good now that the motivation a gone you know what you REALLY feel inside. Leave the motivation behind and build that disciplined mindset from now on. I personally wouldn't worry if you miss a day or two. Just pick it back up as soon as possible. Just don't make it a regular habit or get too lazy. You may want to consider building in a rest day in your week where you DONT do this particular nitnem. Just so you can rest your mind. Similar to when doing physical excercise. Else you may burn yourself out and start missing too many days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1176 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Why not do it on your journey to work? It used to take me hour each way. Do something if you can't manage to sit down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's my personal experience that whenever I disclose publicly that I'm going to do this and that, then it is always hard to sustain that. So, as the Sant/Mahapurash says, do your simran but don't do the public announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
