[QUOTE="angrisha, post: 187380, member: 12238"] 2. In the Amrit Keertan Index, this verse gives the title to the shabad. What does it mean to you? In what way does the devotee "so jivai" "live?" What is your understanding of "simrai" or "meditate?" ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਜੋ ਸਿਮਰੈ ਸੋ ਜੀਵੈ ॥ Amriṯ nām parmesar ṯerā jo simrai so jīvai. Your Name, O Transcendent Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar; whoever meditates on it, lives. For me Simrai is to emmerse yourself in the 'name' of god. Not the literal name of course, but the concept of 'Akal Purakh'. For me this is something that needs to be done on a moment to moment bases, not to only sit in meditation but to carry that idea of meditation into your active lives. When you can have that idea enter into your everyday life, then I think you've truly begun to 'live'. In many ways we are blind to the world around us, and thus before we can 'awaken, and live' we are essentially 'dead' as we attach ourselves to this body and the world. I am not sure if this makes sense, the practice of Simrain for me is just that it is something that needs to be cultivated through time and understanding. 3. In reading this verse, how does one remain awake. What does it mean to remain awake? ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਤ ਅਚੁਤ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਜਾਗਾ ॥੩॥ Guṇ gāvaṯ acẖuṯ abẖināsī an▫ḏin har rang jāgā. ||3|| Singing the Glorious Praises of the immovable and imperishable Lord, one remains awake to the Lord's Love, day and night. ||3|| For me being 'awake' is to remain fully engaged in moment that you are in. Meaning all thoughts of other things (i.e. mind chatter of past/future) are not present. By 'singing' or otherwise engaging and being fully present in this moment, you can put yourself in a position to fully be aware of the "Lords Love" continuously... it is present at every moment in time... Being "asleep" to me typical means being caught up in the mind chatter that you can attribute to Maya. This alone is a very big practice.[COLOR=Purple] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
