me personally i dont do simran or read any gurbani i only do seva only because for like a year i did the third eye mediataion and now if i do simran or read my head starts hurting i asked my saint what to do he said stop focusing on the third eye and just do seva and just do simran when ur working or whatever but dont sit down and focus .... im just so grateful im able to serve a true saint how many times does it says in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that serving the saint you receive everything i remember a line where it said the saints feet or pools of ambrosial nectar i even asked my saint if i could every get the same thing my dad has he said ya i could give it no promblem i wus shocked and asked if i could get it in this life he said yes no problem then he told me to come back tommorw and he would tell me what to do to get it i never went back the next day but i guess he would say seva simran sat sangat ....once some guy asked the same question if he could get the same thing my dad has the saint said some people get it right away while for others it may take time. but once you get the nectar you have basically met god because once the saint told my dad the path to god is really hard and long but you have basically met god
