[QUOTE="chazSingh, post: 203909, member: 17409"] [U][B]Experiences of Naam Simran[/B][/U] What I've personally found is that when one reaches a state of deep relaxation, and when the potency of the thoughts in the mind is decreased, we become aware of many sensations within the body which would not be possible otherwise... [B]A Lot of patience is required[/B]... something i realised very quickly...even now i get frustrated, wanting things to happen quickly, but this just becomes more desires...and desires is what we're trying to get away from. Some days this deep relaxation and state of less thoughts is obtained very quickly, other days due to life's drama, it is very difficult....the battle with the mind is continuous...it almost doesn't want you focusing on God...instead throwing a million thoughts of desires, revenge, anger, ego fueled life dramas, lust etc etc But if we keep battling like this through Naam Simran, i'm certain that our inner guru, shabad guru is walking a hundred steps towards us. just as in the outer world, when we're walking the streets, and our attention is suddenly taken towards a song heard in the distance, in the same way i feel through my Simran that inner Shabad Guru will guide us through this journey of self discovery. Some interesting shabads in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji which only started to have meaning to me through daily simran are below. I find them interesting, inspriring and also seems to give us hints, tips as to if we're making progress on our inner journey. These Gems, these Shabads seem to evolve in meaning and understanding as my simran develops as though they are infinite. often i have thought "ahh, thats what it means" only to return to the same shabad months later saying "omg, why didnt i[B]see[/B]that last time" dhasavai vaasaa alakh apaarai || [B]In the Tenth Gate, is the dwelling of the infinite, unseen[/B]Lord. saaeir sapath bharae jal niramal guramukh mail n laaeidhaa ||2|| [B]The seven seas are overflowing with the Ambrosial Water; the Gurmukhs are not stained with filth. ||2||[/B] Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji anehadh sabadh s[B]u[/B]h[B]aa[/B]van[B]ae[/B]p[B]aaeeai[/B]g[B]u[/B]r v[B]ee[/B]ch[B]aa[/B]r ||2|| [B][I]The beautiful, Unstruck Sound of the Shabad is obtained, contemplating the Guru. ||2||[/I][/B] Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 21 man r[B]ae[/B]sabadh tharah[B]u[/B]ch[B]i[/B]th l[B]aa[/B]e || [B][I]O mind, swim across, by focusing your consciousness on the Shabad.[/I][/B] Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 19 I strongly feel humility is also key on this journey...in the end our own efforts will only get us so far, nothing will is fruitful without Gods Grace and my ardass before simran is always to fall at guru ji's feet and surrender to his will. Having a small so called "spiritual experience" and the ego inflates...i've felt this sometimes, even if i don't tell anyone anything..the feeling inside of "i must be special" begins to flare up...and a hurdle has suddenly appeared.[B]"Keep low always, lowest of the low in thought and action"[/B]...that's what i keep telling myself. g[B]u[/B]r k[B]ai[/B]sabadh pashh[B]aa[/B]n[B]eeai[/B]j[B]aaaa[/B]p[B]ae[/B]nadhar kar[B]ae[/B]e || [B][I]The Word of the Guru's Shabad is realized, when He Himself bestows His Glance of Grace.[/I][/B] Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 37 [/QUOTE]
