[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 157107, member: 2610"] Gurfateh Tejwant Singh ji, My judgement was not towards you but the people whom you were talking about. Sleeping duing simran counts as lazy in my books. Athletes who sleep during training are as lazy as they get. Haha I hope you were not snoring with them during training. Though it can be good for the mind to be lazy sometimes. Yes realizing, understanding and accepting the mystery is putting the Shabad Guru to practice. Now that we have come this far through intellectual pursuits, it is time to move beyond the intellect (not shun it but go above it and master it) so that we can actually put the shabad guru to practice. Because as you know the practice of Shabad guru is directed at emotions and intuition. It is designed to invoke direct way of knowing things, a direct way of knowing the mystery. Mystery lurks behind everything, Tejwant ji, do not let your guard down. Be alert to it. I have linked [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/questions-and-answers/37585-akhand-paath-and-sitting-darbar-sahib-4.html#post156855"]several other shabads[/URL] as well, in that post and I have been sharing my understanding of that shabad the whole time. Also there is a difference between parroting and chanting that those shabads talk about. Try to see it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ambarsaria ji, Yes repeating one word (e.g. waheguru, ram, hari) and keeping my attention on it (sometimes a line from a shabad gets stuck in my head for whatever reason then that becomes the mantr I repeat). As I do that I try to expand my awareness to include not only the sounds and the vibrations in my throat, chest and head but also other sounds and sensations and my visual field if my eyes are open. See the first video below. I don't really chant anything but I do sing along a shabad expanding and contracting my attention as stated above. It has worked for me, you must try it wholeheartedly and find out whether it works for you.
