[QUOTE="chazSingh, post: 203955, member: 17409"] [U][B]Is Nitnem Enough or is further Meditation Required?[/B][/U] Hi Ishna Ji, That's a good question ... and you'll get so many different answers to such a question, because in the end the answer to this is based on each persons individual experience with Nitnem and meditation. [B][U]My Personal Experience[/U][/B] no matter what i did, the thirst inside wasn't being quenched enough...and the feeling that i 'needed more' was not being removed enough...what this 'needing more' was i'm not sure...but it was just a strong feeling inside to seek more somehow. [B]For me Meditation was the answer[/B]...Nitnem, listening to shabad gurbani etc prior to Simran Meditation would get me into a lovely relaxed mental state, focus was on God...thirst for God was strong... Then i would sit for meditation for an hour or two using a mantra like "Waheguru" and just focus on this shabad...my mind would want to think about so many other things...but with practice i learned to ignore my mind...(you can meditate in mind, to mool manter or any gurbani as well) Eventually what meditational Simran allowed me to do is to[B]'Listen'[/B]to what exists past my thoughts...beyond the mind... If god exists within me, i figured i need to silence the noise in my mind, and see if i can feel anything else, see anything else, hear anything else.. I assure you, if you put the time and effort in, then all your questions will start to be answered with your own personal experience, all your fears will start to be removed,[B]and your unique journey to god and self realisation will start to unfold[/B][IMG]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/images/smilies/orangeturban.png[/IMG] test your Guru, challenge Guru Ji in your ardaas, Tell Guru Ji, I'm here, in meditation..this is what you tell us to do in your Gurbani, i have faith that you'll reveal yourself. Keep trying things, and have unlimited patience..and above all enjoy[IMG]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/images/smilies/orangeturban.png[/IMG] Hope this helps, God Bless Ji, [/QUOTE]
