[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 197988, member: 16886"] Yes, the article starts off very well when it describes that simran is all done with the MIND... BUT, then the author goes off track on the wrong tangent when he talks about chanting not being gurmat.... (he seems to have lost the whole point of what he began the article with!) because he keeps the issue on the technique or jugtee of simran. See my simple Q & A below, which highlight the points that are missing in the article.... [I][B]Q[/B]-Is chanting or using your tongue to utter God's name useless and not gurmat ?[/I] [I][B]A[/B]- YES[/I] [I][B]Q-[/B] Is Using a Mala/rosary or other tools to aid jap ..also useless ?[/I] [I][B]A[/B]- YES[/I] [I][B]Q-[/B]Why is this practice useless ? ... is this not naam simran ??[/I] [I][B]A- [/B]NO.[/I] [I]Using tools to do simran is not forbidden and neither are they manmat...providing that they are used as tools only ![/I] [I]For example GUR-MAN-TAR [/I] [I]GUR=guru[/I] [I]Man= Mind[/I] [I]Tar= Tool[/I] [I]The gurmantar is a tool to aid and help in simran.[/I] [I][B]Q[/B]- Doesn't the tongue do simran when you jap ?[/I] [I][B]Q[/B]- When someone uses mala or diva/candle..etc. to focus... are they not doing some sort of simran then ?[/I] [I][B]ANSWER[/B]- NO, to all the above, because if You are NOT doing simran or jap in your MIND.... then you are quite simply not doing simran.[/I] [I]Simran Only happens when your MIND is focusing on nothing else but Waheguru.[/I] [I]You can jap all you want until your tongue fatigues, because if your Mind is running in all directions in the act... then it is NOT simran..[/I] [I]it is simply an empty practice.[/I] [I]In other words... parroting(someone's favourite poke!), can in fact, be completely gurmat if your MIND is focused on Waheguru ![/I] [I][B]True Simran and jap only happens when it is done with the Mind ![/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
