Waheguru Ji
Nam (God’s Holy Name) is like an ocean; service and charity are its streams. We are seeking something small, but with the help of Nam, oceans of priceless jewels await us.
Reciting Nam is a way of thanking and praising the Nami—the omnipresent, timeless Creator. It is a path to God for everybody. When you recite Nam and love God without any motives, He will cleanse your mind, there will be great light in your heart, and your whole family will be blessed. Nam will heal your mind, eliminating all negative thoughts; only positive thoughts will remain. The hidden joy and love and fearlessness within you will become manifest.Actually, it is not that God wants our praises. The effect of Nam works on us. Our body is just a house where we live. Our life is governed by our karmas—the effects on our life of our sanskars, our habitual thoughts and actions from this life and from previous births. Our karmas are like great waves that are not under our control. Nam breaks those waves.
As we recite Nam—with our tongue, with our mind, with every breath—those waves start to break up here and there. You may be worrying as usual—"What will happen?"—but as you recite Nam there is a small break in that train of thought. You feel, "It will be okay." But at this stage you are still reciting Nam only with your tongue. Your thoughts and awareness are not on Nam, and soon your mind returns to its old patterns.
As you go on reciting Nam, you will experience a little light inside, a brief moment of samadhi (spiritual absorption). But then the mind starts running away again at great speed, and the little bit of light disappears. Then longing for God may begin to grow in you, although it is very faint at first. As you are singing or reciting Nam, you may experience a brief communion with the Nami.
To become closer to God, you should focus your mind on your Isht, that form of God in whom you have faith. At first, your Isht may seem just a faint image in your mind, but gradually its presence becomes a reality. Slowly that Power gives your mind confidence and you begin loving that Isht you are trying to focus your attention on. It takes a long time, but gradually you will feel the presence of your Isht within you.
Once you feel your Isht inside you, through the power of Nam, you will begin to see that your Isht is actually controlling everything outside you as well. You will see your Isht pervading everywhere and everything.
As you keep reciting Nam, whenever you begin to feel anger or greed, or ego the feeling does not last long. It moves aside. Why? Nam is washing away the dirt of your past tendencies; the Light of divine wisdom is burning up your past actions. Gradually, you cease to feel anger or greed, and you feel that you are nothing great. You become very humble.
All ignorance ceases as the light of Nam manifests fully. If you reach this stage of enlightenment through continual recitation of Nam and concentration on the Nami, you will see only God everywhere. Like God, you will feel neither enmity nor fear. You will recognize that the Nami is sustaining and controlling all life. Nam will make your actions bright and will give you clear inner vision, truthfulness, renunciation, the desire to help those in need, and the power to do anything, for the Power of the Nami has manifested in you.
Loving God

How long does it take you to do One 108 bead Mala?
Waheguru Ji
The jaap is done while walking and sitting. So it varies. Haven't timed myself to see how long it takes to do the jaap 108 times. It probably takes around 25 minutes, if done while sitting with full attention on the mantar. Waheguru Waheguru Ji

I have started with Mool Mantar Jaap, but i stopped after 40 days. Had some days off, now started again but this time doing Waheguru Simran. I think kalyug is winning (summer holidays, schools are off, kids at home) as i am not getting up on time and doing it little later in the morning.
I think i need to work very hard, it's not that easy.
Doing about -50 malas of 108 beads rosary of Waheguru Simran, taking about an hour, facing sunrise direction, water in cup next to me, white aasan to sit on, speaking loudly or whispering or in mind, just trying my best for the next 40 days.

How is the jaap going? Any updates. Waheguru Waheguru

">I didnt understand by what u mean by “understand slowly”.
Waheguru Ji
Its hard to keep up with Baba Ji as it's a deep subject, it will be great to slowly read what Baba Ji is saying in a written format to get the full benefit. It's hard to grasp what Baba Ji is saying in audio with a written format (book) , we can read and re-read to fully understand.
Do you if the book Baba Ji is reading from is online.

Been using a counter that keeps track of the Jaaps by pressing down a button. This way dont have to keep track of the count in the mind and attention does not get divided between doing the jaap and keeping count.
