harsharan000 got a reaction from Jageera in Sleep during meditation
With His kirpa, and then by one's realization of such deep bhakti, then determination to adhere to it firmly, in order to get that desired divine transformation.
His grace and our sincere efforts go hand by hand.

harsharan000 reacted to Mooorakh in Sleep during meditation
Baba Nand Singh ji was very high ' kamai' soul ofcourse, who had janms of Naam Dhan. His practices were more ' yogic' - we are not ' kinka' equivalent- so if we follow not sleeping for days ( years is obviously far unimaginable) we would loose some brain nerves or mental balance - for that matter. We can't even think of following his life style like shedding Maya totally ( he never touched money- left family- wore negligible clothes- even in super cold weather, ate nothing for days).
This is like Dhanna ji or Namdev ji who took their elders words' literally and sat to ensure that Thakur would eat ( laavo bhog Har Rai) - similarly Baba Nand Singh ji took it literally that Gurmukhs never sleeps.. and Waheguru being ' bhaav Bhagat ka bhookha' got them across!! I wish we were also away from these ' chaturaaiyaa' and meet our Gopal with such 'bhole bhaav'...

While the *Battle of Kurushetra was at its peak, Arjuna and Karna were fighting each other.* It was a battle to witness, a flurry of arrows were being exchanged, and even Gods were witnessing this epic battle between the 2 warriors.
Arjuna would shoot his arrows and the impact of these arrows would be so much that Karna’s chariot would go back by 25-30 feet. People who witnessed this were amazed by the skills of Arjuna.
Karna was no less. When he shot arrows, Arjuna’s chariot would also shake and go back by 3-4 feet.
More than everyone, Krishna would applaud Karna every time his arrow hit Arjuna’s chariot. But *not once did He applaud Arjuna’s skills !*
At the end of the day, Arjuna asked Krishna: “Oh Lord, I have shot so many arrows at Karna’s chariot, it was being displaced like a feather in wind, but not once did you appreciate me. Rather, *you would appreciate his skill despite his arrows just displacing my chariot a little”.*
Krishna smiled and replied “Oh, *Arjuna, remember,* your chariot is protected by *Hanuman* at the top on your flag, *Me as your charioteer* in the front and by *Sheshnag* at its wheels, yet the whole chariot would still sway and displace whenever the valiant Karna hit us with his arrows”.
“But *Karna’s chariot is not protected by any such force*, *he is on his own, yet he fights valiantly”.*
It is said that after the battle of Kurushetra was over, Krishna refused to get off the chariot till Arjuna got down. Once Krishna alighted from the chariot, it caught fire and turned to dust.
Krishna said “Oh Arjuna, your chariot was destroyed by Karna a long time ago, it is I who was still protecting it.”
*“Never in your life have the arrogance to say that you have achieved big heights. If you have achieved something, it is the divine will,* it is the divine intervention that has always protected you, cleared your path and *given you the right opportunities at the right time”!*
An excerpt from *Mahabharata* and conveys message to mankind. Though simple but a strong reminder to mankind.
*Be humble, remember, even a little leaf cannot move/sway without Waheguru's Hukum

MEDITATION AND PRAYER
Meditation should not be confused with prayer -silent or vocal.
A devotee prays in a temple, a shrine or at any place considered appropriate by him, while in meditation he worships in the sacred and stainless shrine of atma , which is independent of time , place and distance.
Prayer is an earnest , humble request. In prayer, the devotee talks to the God, communicates his feelings,desires and gratitude to Him. In meditation, the devotee asks nothing of God ; he simply listens to the voice of God within.
In prayer, he gets close to God , while in meditation he strives to become one with God.
In prayer, a dualism between God and devotee exists; in meditation the apparent dualism eventually disappears.
THEREFORE, IT IS BELIEVED BY SOME THAT MEDITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF PRAYER.

About Coronavirus
This is from a doctor in Hong Kong who consulted with his friend (who currently works on SARS prevention research) on some effective ways to prevent the Coronavirus.
Doctor's advice about coronavirus:
1. It is pretty large in size (cell is about 400-500nm diameter), so any normal mask (not just the N95 feature) should be able to filter it out. However, when someone who's infected sneezes in front of you, it will take a great 3 meters (about 10 feet) before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
2. When the virus drops on metal surface, it will live for at least 12 hours. So remember if you come in contact with any metal surface, wash your hands with soap thoroughly.
3. The virus can remain active on fabric for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent should kill the virus. For winter clothing that does not require daily washing, you can put it out under the sun to kill the virus.
About the symptoms of the pneumonia caused by Coronavirus:
1. It will first infect the throat, so the throat will have the dry sore throat feeling which will last for 3 to 4 days
2. Then the virus will blend into the nasal fluid and drips into the trachea and enter the lungs, causing pneumonia. This process will take 5 to 6 days.
3. With pneumonia, comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You will feel like you are drowning in water. It's important to go seek immediate medical attention if you feel like this.
About prevention:
1. The most common way of getting infected is by touching things in public, so you must wash your hands frequently. The virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 mins, but a lot can happen in those 5-10 mins (you can rub your eyes or pick your nose unwittingly).
2. Aside from washing your hands frequently, you can gargle with Betadine Sore Throat Gargle to eliminate or minimize the germs while they are still in your throat (before dripping down to your lungs).
Folks, take extra care and drink plenty of water.

ਜਗਤੁ ਜਲੰਦਾ ਰਖਿ ਲੈ ਆਪਣੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰਿ ॥
Jagath Jalandhaa Rakh Lai Aapanee Kirapaa Dhhaar ||
The world is going up in flames - shower it with Your Mercy, and save it!
ਜਿਤੁ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਉਬਰੈ ਤਿਤੈ ਲੈਹੁ ਉਬਾਰਿ ॥
Jith Dhuaarai Oubarai Thithai Laihu Oubaar ||
Save it, and deliver it, by whatever method it takes.
Dear OP,
to your enquiry about the 2 verses above, following are my 2 cents:
In the first verse, it is said that the whole world is burning.....
But burning in which way?
Well, the whole creation is burning in the "chaurasee ka ckakar", in the endless cycle of births and deaths.
And the way to get out is mainly by His grace.
Then, in the second verse it is said save it by anyway you think fit.
But the complete interpretation would be best, if we look at the third verse, where it is said:
ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਵੇਖਾਲਿਆ ਸਚਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ॥
Sathigur Sukh Vaekhaaliaa Sachaa Sabadh Beechaar ||
The True Guru has shown the way to peace, contemplating the True Word of the Shabad.
Here Guru Jee is very clear, and goes right to the root of the problem to solve it, for as we can see He says that, by contemplating /meditating on the Shabad/Nam as per teachings in Gurmat, we obtain eternal peace and bliss, for it is only by meditating on Nam or Shabad, that one gets freed from the burning cycle of births and deaths, and it is only by doing this bhakti that we merge in our Origin, Akal, Ajoonee, Satnam....
Stay blessed.

harsharan000 got a reaction from Jageera in Quotes from AMRIT BANI
Question 14: Dear Guru Jee, why is it that inspite of all the regular practices and offerings to Waheguru I do not get even a glimplse of His darshan?
Guru Jee : my dear sikh, listen carefully; if you really want to have His darshan, you have to discard all other practices which keep you away from Him, and faithfully and devotedly do the following as I say :
ਦਸਵੈ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਕੁੰਚੀ ਜਬ ਦੀਜੈ ॥
Dhasavai Dhuaar Kunchee Jab Dheejai ||
When the key is inserted in the Tenth Gate,
ਤਉ ਦਇਆਲ ਕੋ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਕੀਜੈ ॥੨੪॥
Tho Dhaeiaal Ko Dharasan Keejai ||24||
Then, the Blessed Vision of the Merciful Lord's Darshan is seen.
* Note: the Tenth Gate referred by Guru Jee in the verses above, is located in the center above the 2 eyes; and the key which has to be used to open that Door and have His darshan, is His simran alone.

Veer ji very happy to share as i am glad its helping. And you are right veer ji its waheguru gurus sahib jis kirpa by doing the jaap. Its best to do the shabad jaap when you can get time as it does help making a connection with it.

Thanks Soulfinder Veerji for this gem. Now my Mool Mantar is always accompanied with this Salok. A different rhythm and emotion arises when it's read together with Mool Mantar.The emotion of begging,surrendering and asking for grace, to be spared from vices and everyday I stay away from vices,I know it's only possible because Maharaj has granted me this boon. I didn't do sava lakh jaap but at the beginning I was doing 1 mala of this with Mool Mantar daily. These days I do 1 mala whenever possible.

True Bro.
The wicked ones do not like to live not let live in peace. Something or the other nonsense has to be there.
Unnecessary conflicts, disputes, arise as bubbles on the surface of the world...while some burst in due time, many other are again on the surface, due to the turbulances of the unbalanced minds...

harsharan000 got a reaction from sevak in Awasthas of naam simran
Dear Paappi ji,
different people may give you different valid replies, but that much in simple words I may tell you that there are 3 stages.
The first one is of realization.
Here one realizes the importance of this type of bhakti of meditating of which you are asking.
We all agree, we are sinners, and our sins are the huge barrier between us and our beloved Lord Waheguru. Therefore we want to get purified with His grace, in order to go there where He is and merge in Him.
In this respect the Bani tells us:
ਪਤਿਤ ਪਾਵਨ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਾ ॥
Pathith Paavan Har Naamaa ||
The Lord's Name is the Purifier of sinners.
So firstly, we realize that if there is any such thing which can purify us, is that one of meditating on His holy Name only.
Then the second stage is the one of application.
Means, we have to apply to a practical method, a jugtee, or let us say Bhakti, in order to reach our goal, of that which one, that we realized its supreme importance in the first stage, and as said, it was of getting purified.
Now here once again, different questions may arise in different minds, some may ask, how much time should one engage in this practice.... minutes? hours? days? timings? Or some may even think of substituing it with other practices, for that is what they have mainly seen others doing...
But fortunately we have Guru Jee with us, to remind and correct us, and bring us back to the right path again and again, for as Guru Jee tells us :
gur satgur kaa jo sikh akhaa-ay so bhalkay uth har naam Dhi-aavai.
One who calls himself a Sikh of the True Guru, shall rise in the early morning hours and meditate on the Lord's Name.
Not only that much, rather Guru goes a step further by telling us :
Kirapaa Keejai Saa Math Dheejai Aath Pehar Thudhh Dhhiaaee ||
Show Your Mercy, and bless me with such understanding, that I may meditate on You, twenty-four hours a day.
Some may protest and say, why 24 hours?
This also has an explanation, Guru Jee never says anything without a solid reason. Though it is clear, that in the early morning hours we should meditate on Him, but, when He says all the 24 hours, it means, all the maximun time possible should be done, while eating, walking, waiting, jogging, bathing etc.... every step towards Him counts in our favor, for having kept His name the maximum time of the day in our minds, then the result is, that we are unconciouslly subduing the mind, so, when on the next day we sit to meditate in the early hours, our mind will be almost groggy and will not be able to play mischiefs with us, by distracting us with its countless thoughts being poured continously....
The the other reason for which Guru Jee tells us to meditate on Him, all the 24 hours, that is becuase He knows how stupid and weak we are, so in this way, we will focus only on what He wants us to do and not do any sort of manmat of our which we usually do....
And the last and third stage, is that of transformation.
In this respect the Bani says:
Jin Har japeeya se Har hoeeya.
He who repeats His Name, becomes Him.
Thus we are transformed by getting purified with His name, from an alone and a wandering soul in pain, caught in the net of the ceaseless chaurasee ka chakar, into the Infinte and blissful Waheguru Akal Purukh.
This in short, is the mahima of Waheguru and the bhakti of meditating upon His Nao, His Nam, Satnam...
Stay blessed.
