When Guruji met them, what did he say about putting his focus?

Really? Why be on this thread if reluctant to learn or try practical? Where do my posts demonstrate an affiliation to a cult?

Not been on here for a long time, but I'll attempt to answer your question..... A few reasons for the pause. 1st, the pause is when you are neither breathing in or breathing out. it is a momentarily hold of breath. It makes sure you are listening. as in listening to the gurumantar.. when you pay attention to your focus(dhyian) at the moment you are pausing(holding breath), then you are focusing with more attention. . just to add, a sniper or someone who is shooting a rifle or pistol at a target with precision, will, at the moment just before taking the shot, hold their breath and be in complete stillness. In most sports, just before taking your snooker/pool shot or even a basket ball dunk, you will hold your breath at the decisive moment.. 2nd, this pause or hold is your intro into getting to listen to the 'void'. For that is where the divine sounds will begin to appear. 3rd, We are in a world of duality. Duality came into existence when Waheguru blast(big bang) 'ong''emerged and creation was made. The 'singularity" of EK made the ONG, and KAR creation was made, hence "Ek ong-kar" .(see post below) for example, we have Good-bad, dark-light, sun-moon, hot-cold etc.. The perfect place is to be neither left or right, but in the center. In the center, is the perfect balance, like a see-saw or scale when it's horizontal. In similar fashion, amrit vela on a physical worldly level is when the moon's cooling energy is minimal and the sun's heat energy is beginning to emerge and at a point equivalent but opposite to the moon's. Hope, the above helps you understand about duality and the importance of being still and neutral.

We have $2 and $1 coins. I carry about four $2s and couple of $1s at least. I never go around using bank card for transactions less than $20. Tea or coffee is about $2 to start. So, I'd feel guilty giving less. If a homeless is stood outside coffee shop or fast food place, I sometimes ask what they'd like and buy them food and drink if I have time. In some areas downtown, many people traveling to work will buy extra coffee or tea for the needy after asking their request. Seeing this is what gave me the idea of buying them food or drink instead of money.

I often get told that they just gonna use the money to buy some gear, but to me that's a self-justifying excuse in order to convince one's self; not to give. Personally, I give whatever comes into my hands. I always carry about 10-15 bucks loose change. I have habit to go into my pocket and grab whatever and then give without counting. This is just my personal approach and I don't expect others to follow suit. It helps with my own consciousness, since I know I can easily start telling myself "oh no, I should only give 2 bucks here", or on the other hand I might feel that another deserves at least 5 minimum.. So, in order to prevent my mann being influenced by 5 dhoot, I don't let 'mind calculation and thought' get in the way and sub-consciously give them what Gobind (universe) expects them to receive via my hands. Now, with regards to second issue of what they do with cash I have another mode of thinking. As per gurbani, we are ALL here to bhog our karams. Past one's and new ones. Karmee avai kapra, nadree mokh duar. In this regard, I feel that I'm doing duty on my end of decent Karam and it's entirely upto the beggar of what they spend the money on and what karam they do. Whether it's to keep warm or get drugs. Saying this, I will usually make small talk and say something like "yeh, I'll give you some change as long as you using it for food or warm drink in this cold". From that point, I feel that I've done my bit of karams and it's upto to waheguru to make judgement of whether the beggar does karam of putting money to good use or bad use. I always try hard to try and not make judgements of others, meaning it's wahguru who decides what karam is good or bad and not me. Just to add, ..if they are completely intoxicated and incoherent, I might refuse to give any at all and tell them that I would oblige if they were little sober. This happens on rare occasions when I'm certain that they have no idea of the moment and also have zero memory of it later on.

Did she matha tekh and bow down to Sri Guru granth sahib ji maharaj? anyone know?

.

Sorry for extremely late reply. Not been on here for some time. people will tell you different, but in my experience and as per my own journey; you are better doing this once you can stay antarghat for long periods of times doing "mental -silent" simran and attempting rom-rom technique. Once rom rom is in full blow, ie. continues effortly from intital kickstart, then you should spend longer periods of doing "dhyian" (putting concentrated focus on shabad sounds). You will find that if done prematurely. then dhyian and focus won't remain constant and mind will just wonder more than usual. IF just starting out, then only attempt after you can go antarghat and remain in steady state (equilibrium)" Sehaj". Then you can go back and forth with saas saas and sitting in dhyian

Well done. I'm not a fan of conventional/western medicine and I was also reluctant to get the vaccine. However, after careful contemplation and studying, I'd say that the benefits outweigh the risks. I've had both pfizer doses and realized that even though i wasn't too fussed about my own protection, it's for the protection of others that matters more to me.

that's good. You are on your way there.

Hey bhaaji, can you hear shabads?

Correct. The early sounds you hear are pavan shabads. . You still have a way to go before the real bhagtee begins and naam gets pargat. It will be confusing a little this stage and it is only happening because you are going antarghat. . At this stage you can start practice going deep into saas saas. start with saas grass, get quieter as you settle...into saas saas( jap quietly with breath...keep going until settled enough to do saas saa but ALL the japna in silence with surti,. ie. breathe in-"wahe", breathe out "guru'... 'wahe-guru" done internally in complete silence with surti

There is web page somewhere with sikhs that have been named and shamed for committing vile acts. I saw it on sikhsangat I think but have no idea what it was called. If someone knows the link, then that would be useful? I've attached a pdf that will be an eye-opener for some of you. It's written by a sikh who was part of a vigilante gang in UK but he'd also witnessed a number of pious sikh groups that disguised disgusting behaviour of some individuals. There are some very deep truths in there and a number of them; I knew or had heard of when I lived there over 10 years ago. The-Forbidden-Truth.pdf
