tva prasad Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Some people that have been meditating for years don't progress as much as others who see results in months. Could really strong attachment to Maya and money be a really big factor? Or is there a different reason/s. I know past life kamayi is one of the reasons some progress faster. Keen to know more, I've been really curious recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mureed Posted October 5, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Waheguru ji it is both: Current attachments and past life kamayi. If someone was on higher spiritual stage in previous life and passed away.. they will resume from their earlier progress. Obvious signs of previous kamayi are: 1) Interested in listening to gurbani, katha, kirtan from childhood and trying to adapt his/her life according to Guru's bachan. 2) Kindness in words and karams. 3) Keep asking themselves about the purpose of life and try to seek people for spiritual guidance..... Main thing to remember is we can't can't can't meet Waheguru on our own... all we can take is baby steps towards our goal.. we will fall..rise again.. fall..rise..like a roller coaster. Instead of feeling sad or demotivated, one should keep trying...and day will come when one will start getting glimpses of Param Pita Waheguru. ਚਰਨ ਸ਼ਰਨਿ ਗੁਰ ਏਕ ਪੈਂਡਾ ਜਾਇ ਚਲ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੋਟਿ ਪੈਂਡਾ ਆਗੇ ਹੋਇ ਲੇਤ ਹੈ॥ A disciple who walks one step towards Guru to take his refuge and goes to him with devotion and humility, Guru advances to receive him (devotee) by taking million steps. ਏਕ ਬਾਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਮਾਤ੍ਰ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਤਾਹਿ ਬਾਰੰਬਾਰ ਗੁਰ ਹੇਤ ਹੈ॥ He who unites with the Lord by remembering the incantation of the Guru even once, the True Guru remembers him millions of time. ਭਾਵਨੀ ਭਗਤ ਭਾਇ ਕਉਡੀ ਅਗ੍ਰਭਾਗ ਰਾਖੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਦਾਨ ਦੇਤ ਹੈ॥ He who makes an offering of even a shell before the True Guru with loving worship and faith, the True Guru blesses him with the countless treasures of invaluable wealth that is Naam. ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦਇਆ ਨਿਧਿ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਅਗਾਧ ਬੋਧ ਨਮੋ ਨਮੋ ਨਮੋ ਨਮੋ ਨੇਤ ਨੇਤ ਨੇਤ ਹੈ The True Guru is a repository of compassion that is beyond description and understanding. Therefore myriad salutations to Him because there is no one else like Him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen to know more, I've been really curious recently. Other factors, which come into play (other than Attachment and Previous Kamaiye): Parents Sanskars - The information encoded in your genes will play a role in your progress. Mother's womb - A mother can change the destiny of the child (when in womb) in those 8-9 months. If she does plenty of Naam Simran during that period, it will have a great impact on a child's future. Upbringing - Many Psychological problems can be traced back to childhood, Based on this, it is very much possible to make a child highly spiritual with the correct type of upbringing. Doshs done in previous life/past current life - Doshs can be an obstacle in moving forward. Some Doshs can be done unintentionally and one might not even know about them. Astrologers/Brahamgyanis can tell you about them. Sangat - Sangat of spiritual seekers/Gurmukhs will assist. If you are lucky enough and meet a Brahamgyani in your life, you will definitely progress at a faster rate (if you are sincere).

BhagatSingh Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Above +Grace of God You worship God seemingly to no end, or even if you don't and you are suffering to no end, one day God comes in and swoops you up, removes your haumai and gives you the full divine experience. This below is an example of God's grace. Krishan ji blesses Arjun with Divya Dhrishti, meaning Gyan, and shows him his multifaceted, Parbrahm, Mahakal, Mahavishnu Swaroop. What Bhai Gurdas ji calls Waheguru. What we might say in English - Oneness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paapiman Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 One more important factor which will affect your progress in spirituality is your application of Sikh principles in your life. The more you follow the Hukam (Rehat) as prescribed by Sri Satguru jee, more the odds of receiving Kirpa. Bhul chuk maaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
