Nirmaljot ji,
Guru Fateh.
Thanks for your response and I am eagerly waiting for your thoughts on the Mool Mantar and the first 3 pauris and eventually the whole Jap.

Now talking abt your ques i just get one impression sir, i.e u did not read the post with full concentration. replyin to ur questions
1. i quote "And yes Amarpal you are absolutely right. That time is good when we think or remember the almighty. But I’ll discuss it somewhat. Guru nanak says on pg 1330 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
ਨਾਉ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਤੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਛੋਡਹੁ ਦੁਨਿ ਪਰੀਤਾll ਪ੍ਰਣਵਤਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸਨਿ ਦਾਸਾ ਜਗਿ ਹਾਰਿਆ ਤਿਨਿ ਜੀਤਾll

First of all, according to Gurmat values we give benefit of the doubt to people rather than presuming things. It is always wise to ask questions. I did read the whole post.
Having said that, would you be kind enough to express in your own words what the above verse means?

The time when ever we remember the almighty is good or " amrit wela". Now the time which is not amrit wela??? It is the time when we are not thinking of him and we are thinking of worldly matters, when we think bad for someone. Some times what happens is we are in gurudwara and we are still thinking about our business or family. Now that time is not amrit wela even though we are in the gurudwara.

What do you mean by what is in bold above? Doesn't
"remembering the almighty" lie in actions or does it lie in just parroting Gurbani?
Aren't thinking of the family and business even in the Gurdwara which may help us give new ideas to make our family and business better parts of Miri-Piri concept of Sikhi way of life?

2. Why 2 a.m ???
I said AROUND 2 a.m because it is the time when body is fresh , that is the time when we dont think about worldly matters, that is the time when there is an air of spirituality, that is the time when no one will knock at your door and trouble you about your business, that is the time when the drop is ready to merge with the ocean.

Do you mean our Gurus, starting with Guru Nanak worked against the nature and did not care about our body clock with whose help our bodies work?
Do you think they would advice us to discard nature in this manner?
What would be the reason behind it if your contention is correct? Can you please shed some light on it.

U can refer to baani of bhai gurdass regarding amrit vela.

I beg to differ with you about your above claim. First of all Baani is what is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru. Bhai Gurdas ji's vaarans did not pass the benchmark that our Gurus had set up. Hence, they are not found in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
My request to you is to only quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru.
Hope to learn from you.
Thanks and regards
