Focusing on Gurbani


Recommended Posts

I can’t keep on focusing on gurbani while doing Path I don’t know why but I want to know how I can focus on gurbani. I focus for a bit but then I start thinking about something else and I forget to do focus on gurbani

Which Gurbani? Have you listened to the Katha of the Gurbani, which you read?

Do you take a cold shower before reading Gurbani?

Do you do Ardas before reading Gurbani?

Are you Amritdhari?

Do you have face similar problems (focus issues) in other areas of your life?

I can focus on the 5 banis in the morning but it is Sehaj Path that I struggle with. And no I am not Amrithdhari. And no I don’t but do ardas before doing any bani because I didn’t know until you just told me (please tell me what to say in the ardas) thanks

You can read a Shalok before reading Gurbani.

Gurparsaad, Daas will post the katha related to that Shalok.

Have you heard the Katha of Sri Aad Gurbani? 

Yes but it is my first time doing Sehaj Path so I thought just do it but I do read the translation afterwards

No I have asked my local Gurdwara but they said they are not doing it yet

You might enjoy the Sehaj Paath more, if you know the meanings of Gurbani.

IMHO, listen to the Larivaar Katha of Gurbani first and then you can do the Sehaj Paath.

Another possible option is to listen to Larivaar Katha of one Raag, then do Paath of that Raag and then move to the next Raag.

Mann nahi tikda te paathh na karaan?? 

Paath karo taaki mann tikke. 

Focus and concentration are the fruits of doing Gurbani n jaap. The Results! You can't have results before you study or appear for exams. 

 Keep karam kaands aside as Guru Nanak Dev ji taught. Your regular one time bath with water suitable to your body and the weather is okay too. Ardas should be a prayer with love - may or may not have specific words. 

Thoughts does bother each of us, so that's human! Bring your mann back to track everytime you realise it's wandering - all bani of Anand sahib keeps on calling mann - eh mann mereya:  eh mann pyareya etc. Mann nu control karna is the ultimate goal n it's not a one day game. It's a lifelong rather lives - long struggle

All the best
