Alcohol is the lowest substance  on this planet. It is literally the devils Amrit. It will take everything from you slowly or fast. It is the mother of all other addiction. It's as addictive and destructive as crack or heroin, and is more deadly because of the lies that surround it. I won't even kick an empty bottle with my foot and I used to sell it professionally for years and drink it myself. Many years I avoided it because I sold it and doing both is dangerous, but inevitably it wound up with its hooks in me too. Hard work alone will not save you, you must beg Akal for freedom, that many are not given, and any amount of drinking can kill you, destroy your life, or get you addicted. I wish I'd never touched a drop of it. And Sukha is part of how I got clear of it. Naam, Kirpa, Sukha. 
Sukha is in a class alone. It doesn't do the imaginary things Ragmaala says it does. 
Nor does methodone work like he thinks. 
Although some of his posts I missed are slightly better, he's too ignorant to realize he's ignorant. 
I live in a high desert oasis of drugs, gambling, prostitution and violence. 
I have seen for a long time now the exact effect various drugs actaully have on people over time. I've seen addicts of every type. I've seen what it takes to get them sober, if it's even possible, And the Sukha is a vitamin that frees people. 
Alcohol is the opposite. I don't even like touching a product that has alcohol in it. It's that foul. 
Alcohol will make you black out, puts you at risk ot be victimized while you're too drunk to walk etc, it will have you doing physically mentally impaired things, and you quickly become dependent on it. And you'll act like an absolute idiot. You might as well be giving control of yourself to spirits to live your life for you. Alcohol is a date rape drug you give yourself. Drinking is attempted suicide. 
Sukha just relaxes you, and restores a natural relationship with hunger, thirst, and rest. It's God given medicine of the highest order. 
If somebody is producing their own cannabinoids internally and don't want or need it just don't use it. Problem is people want to shame or limit what other people can do, or throw them in jail for life for taking their vitamins. 
Alcohol is the single most stupid drug on this planet. Even tweakers and coke heads laugh at drunks bro. 

Been keeping busy and not had much time to come on here.
@Mooorakh ji, Yes I like the way your approach is. It's an extremely fine line between sleep and sunn whilst in bed at night. You only really know 'after' you come out of the state of whether you were there or not.  However, there are also many dream states -or what we may think are supna- that are actually planes/avsasthas of where we are completely jagat.  

Even just doing a lot of meditation with a firearm, both eyes open, until you get used to aligning with the weapon and seeing the ghosting on the sights from both eyes being open is an enjoyable and very beneficial practice. 
Cheapest 30 30 or 30.06 will do. Even if a gun was broken and therefore cheapest it's really nice to aim with a full weight rifle. 

You need to start monitoring your thoughts !
Thoughts -->> Intentions --->> Actions

Ask yourself--where, what, which thought provoked the fire within ?
slowly...and gradually...you will be able to address most of your own daily krodh surges.


It may seem real tricky at first, but once you get into the swing of it...you should be able to divert that same energy towards self spiritual gains..

The same technique can also be used for Kaam as well.

You should look at the work of other mystics too..  Meister Eckhart, Francis of Assisi, Catheriine of Siena, Augustine, St. Catherine of Genoa....etc.  
You'll be surprised at the many parallels about what truth is and having darshan of waheguru.  Even the majority of the lyrics by the rock band U2, are about very deep spiritual levels as mentioned by many of these catholic mystics.
 

I do still have these doubts at time of whether it is just some kind of tinnitus and i am under false illusion !
I don't know but how would i really know ?
Somehow, I always get some kind of personal message or reassurance from waheguru that it's the correct path.
There are other things (mystical) that you notice, that I don't think you would with medical condition of tinnitus !

Digits of Mala beads always add up to 9 for eg. 18 54,72 108 etc

with these super-foods, you have to be a little careful from overseas products.  Many indian imports have been found to contain levels of mercury, lead and arsenic.   I usually try and go for USDA, organic and Non-GMO certified labels wherever possible.

in sukham avastha the colors are energy fields like auric projections.  They don't have baana as such like we do here. The few gurmukhs that I've come across who saw shaheeds saw them in white. It kinda made sense to me.

There's a couple of explanations for this.  My knowledge of gurmukhi grammar is quite basic but I can try and explain in terms of english grammar.
1) In english grammar we have  " Present simple tense" and "Present continuous tense". However, the"so-dar" doesn't fall under this explanation strictly but is probably the nearest that I could explain relative to english. 
Present simple tense is like saying "the angels SING at the door" and Present continuous would be "the angels ARE singing or DO sing at your door" . The latter is more like a confirmation as to say yes, they are singing at the door. In rehraas, the So-dar is relative to Guru Nanak actually being there himself as he did during those 3 days in the river Bein.
 In Japji, it could be instruction from GOD to say "Gāvahi cẖiṯ gupaṯ likẖ jāṇėh likẖ likẖ ḏẖaram vīcẖāre"  Chitr Gupt and Dharamraj  who record your accounts SING there, whereas in Rehraas it is the confirmation that the angels are singing to 'YOU'  See below the extra ਤੁਧਨੋ  is in Rehraas, meaning 'you' . Therefore, it's not an instruction from God as the sentences are from a second person stood at the actual door.
 ਗਾਵਨਿ ਤੁਧਨੋ ਚਿਤੁ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਲਿਖਿ ਜਾਣਨਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਧਰਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੇ ॥
Gāvan ṯuḏẖno cẖiṯ gupaṯ likẖ jāṇan likẖ likẖ ḏẖaram bīcẖāre.
Chitr and Gupt, the angels of the conscious and the subconscious who keep the record of actions, and the Righteous Judge of Dharma who reads this record, sing of You.
2) There's also been some slightly different explanations like Japji is the early morning instruction from GOD that we should read before beginning gristi day and then in evening, the Rehraas is a thank you and direct addressing to GOD from us in order to thank him for completing the day. so we say say ਗਾਵਨਿ ਤੁਧਨੋ
3) I'm sure that many gurmukhs on the spiritual ladder have their own understandings as per avastha. Gurbani applies with different messages from same panktees to individuals as per their avasthas (spiritual status).
 
also totally agree with @GurjantGnostic explanation below. 
Gurbani can't be ambiguous and each pangtee has to be assigned to specific ang. We have Guru Arjan dev jees 'seal' of mundavni as well as the manner it was compiled in order to keep it's authenticity intact. 
 

You think it was to scare you or make you sit up straight?

yes, they usually recognized because they appear dressed in all white

I heard in Katha that essentially identical parts of Gurbani always have minor differences to distinguish them, so that if you read it, you can find the exact occurence in Gurbani and not be confused which, and when reciting Gurbani it doesn't trick you into losing your place and skipping to another Ang out of habit. 
I'm not sure if that's relevant Hanji. 

Does anyone know the reason why there is a difference between So Dar pauris in Sri Japji Sahib and Sri Rehraas Sahib?
Like, 
ਗਾਵਹਿ ਤੁਹਨੋ ਪਉਣੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ਗਾਵੈ ਰਾਜਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਦੁਆਰੇ ॥
The praanic wind, water and fire sing; the Righteous Judge of Dharma sings at Your Door.
ਗਾਵਨਿ ਤੁਧਨੋ ਪਵਣੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ਗਾਵੈ ਰਾਜਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਦੁਆਰੇ ॥
Wind, water and fire sing of You. The Righteous Judge of Dharma sings at Your Door.
And we all know there are minor differences in almost all panktis of So Dar pauri in both banis.

That's just one of the insignias. This is if you follow the japna techniques and focus on the dhun. Eventually you should hear the shabd dhun and it is 24/7  an-din.
This is just one nishanee if following this practice method. There's a couple of other nishanees that I'm aware of but I'm sure there will be many more in gurbani.
Tricky part. What happens is that when you still the mind, you will hear it. Objective is to be aware of it whilst getting on with the day. It's an ongoing development process where one starts learning to conquer the mind.  There's lots of stages in this conquering starting of with deep khoj within and learning to distinguish between mann's mat and Gur-mat. ie. immediately identifying if your decision making was man-mat or gurmat.
 
It's not from anyone in particular but from what I've summed up from various sources over the years, my own insights (aatmic gyan), experiences and gurbani. It seems to follow the flow of gurbani that I'm understanding.
Naam being pargat is a very important milestone and breakthrough point. Gurbani clarifies this especially the significance  of being out of lakh chaurasi and getting naam amrit.
 
If you like; I can give you an idea of the deeper explanations in pm, since they are not suitable for open forum, even though it's all in gurbani.  Let me know, but It may be a few days or so as I'll be busy with my 'body & spirit' building regimes!

Beautiful.  
These moments are great steps in your spiritual evolution. Even if it last's a moment or two, it can be significant.   It's your higher self experiencing the awareness of existence in a sort of multi-dimension.  These "cool" moments come when consciousness jumps outside of the manukhs constant "thought" process.  (this is when true feeling kicks in) .  You kinda see via others eyes and how your own self reflects in those around you.  The common factor within all is the higher truth, and that's what you felt! 
This could well be an enlightening out of "ego" experience that may be fundamental to your own haumai understanding,     Try to put it to use in general daily life by aiming to view all your interactions with others as if looking at the whole scenario from a bird's eye view(out of your own ego) .   
 

from "the ringing sound" thread....
 
Posted just now  
Gurfateh gsm ji,   
I'm glad that you have found some answers and help on here. As always, I try to make it clear that any deeper techniques and advice I give, is mostly down to my own experience and how I personally relate it to gurbani. Some of the things that i mention have been confirmed with high avastha gurmukhs, and i usually refer to this where relevant.
Based on what you stated, and from what I understand, ...it sounds like good progress.  Seems that you have a good amount of bhagti energy which has developed within you.  (hence, the bursts of pulsations)   I think it would be a good idea for you to focus on rom rom technique along with doing long breath saas saas.   I'm not sure if you've already tried this but it appears that rom rom is trying to manifest..  The technique i stated in the meditation thread is the one that I tried and worked. There are other versions as well and with some abyassees. the strength of the prem and pyaar for waheguru alone can make the rom rom pakhah.
Once you do this and it gets pargat, the flow will become easier.  This will help to put dhyian on the sound of the shabad as it develops and rom rom will be very helpful in stages ahead.
At this phase, you should have noticed some major transformations in your attitude, daily life and even relationships.  Your outlook and awareness of the world around you will be more clear and less foggy. As you start putting more of your soul and heart into the house of Guru Nanak ji, you will notice more and more "mitti dhund jagh channan hoya"  
 
Unless you are practicing already, I would suggest to do Saas saas by going quieter and quieter....with long breaths and pauses...Then once deep enough, to stop following breath and switch to heart beat in centre of chest.  Whilst having the gurmantar vibrate mentally in kanth and mind...just stop and pause(holding breath) to see if it continues automatically with heart beat.   If not sure what I mean, then check the rom rom technique on mediation thread and I will also put this same post on that thread for continuing(as this thread is more about anhad shabad)
 
Waheguru
 

This is because your flow of prana is imbalanced and getting obstructed in places. In order to understand this, you have to realise that there is 1) Your physical body and 2) your subtle body (sukham) . In order to be enlightened, these have to be in harmony and in sync. That's why, your body is your temple. 
Whenever the energy accumulations in your sukham sareer get too vast, then they have to transform directly into your physical body. This is why emotions, feelings and states of mind all affect our physical body. Feeling shitty, depressed, stressed leads to popular symptoms of many physical ailments etc. 
I've repeatedly stressed in the past that it's important to maintain good posture and be seated upright when doing jap. This allows prana to flow more freely.  Also note, that Yoga means to jog, which means to join/merge. True yoga is about the science behind joining your Sukham and physical sareer and to keep them vibrating at equal frequencies. First step is to jog your physical and subtle, your miri and piri, your inner and outer. After this, one can move further in order to jog self-jyot Waheguru jyot.  It's all about how you abolish levels of duality and become more pure in order to merge with Akaal Purakh (joti jot milaayai)
In my opinion, what you need to do and get stronger with is... focus on prana flowing with saas  by doing the saas graas/saas saas techniques with slight navel pull in and out. Done properly, this should pave the path of flow without sudden obstructions and eruptions. Activate and keep all energy flowing upwards from navel.

It's a good sign but there will be a few different reasons depending on your inner characteristics. Most of the time it is usually the mental calming and quietening of internal chatter. Reduction in stimulations, results in cooling of sukham sareer, which also affects the physical sareer.   However, at some stages, one gets the opposite effects of sudden warming, sweating etc.. I reckon this is to do with newer stimulations and activations of inner nadis, chakras ..etc..In this case, an increase in stimulations and activity results in more kinetic energy, therefore a rise in temperature.
There are other factors that come into play as well because I know of a Singh who had a lot of krodh and anxiety issues. He used to get feelings of cooling very often with simran, as he was unknowingly dampening his anger problems whilst raising his consciousness. Eventually, he noticed significant improvement in his krodh and tension.

below is an old post describing the technique that I used to get rom rom going...
Should attempt this when one becomes adept in saas saas .. and can go antarghat.  By this stage, one should be hearing some anhad sounds.
Getting rom rom pargat will help make deeper states of simran much easier. Let me know if you have problems. I'll try my best to advise according to my own tried & tested experiences.
