[QUOTE="chazSingh, post: 165997, member: 17409"] Satnaam FindMyWay Ji, I imagine there are many that agree, myself also that people go to the gurdwara, carry our akhand paats and other events in a ritualistic manner i.e. dont even sit, listen, comprehend the gurbani, so yes they are showing un-believable amounts of disrespect by doing so, But, i think you have contradicted yourself a little about Simran. If someone is doing Simran with Complete love and Devotion in order to 'REALISE THEIR TRUE SELVES' i.e. god particles - satnaam then they are following gurbani to the core. TRUE simran goes hand in hand with Seva in your daily life and also sharing with others. repeating a mantra like a parrot, whilst the mind wanders around, without any feeling of love for your Guru is 100% useless. But that is not the Simran that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji has taught me or is trying to teach you. Simran Meditation is mentioned in sooo many pages of Gurbani. you have quoted[B] "There should be more effort and time spent on understanding and implementation"[/B] So then please listen to your Guru Ji when he tells you to do Simran. Try one method, see how it works, try another, experiement but lets make the effort, and then come back and let the sangat know how you are getting on. [B]"When I see the same people who do simran for hours on end being rude to other people or fighting in Gurdwaras"[/B] This is their journey to control their 5 thieves. Simran will not get rid of your 5 thieves overnight, it takes time, effort, discipline, love and complete devotion and surrender to Guru Ji. Your inner Guru, knows your character completely, so when you do Simran, your internal guru knows how much anger, lust, greed, attachement and ego you have....and in your daily life he will confront you with your evil character i.e. the fights in the streets, the family problems etc etc. to see how you re-act, and for youself to understand the bad aspects of your character. I can only talk to you about my own experience with Simran. For me, When i do Simran, i come face to face with my 5 thieves. In deep contemplation of God (without any interuption of the outside world, i can hear my crazy thoughts, i can see the images my mind throws in front of me of Women, Sex, Money, Greed, Ego. The Simran works with your internal Amrit to start to clean your subconscious mind which contains the 5 thieves. You then go back into society for the rest of your day, go to work, spend time with Friends and family and then you see how much of a difference Simran has made. God throws tests at you all the time to see if you can forgive someone, to see if you can love a family member who slanders you behind you back, if you can love your enemy etc etc. I still make mistakes at the hands of the 5 thieves, but bit by bit, day by day as the Simran works its wonders, you start noticing the changes. And the more the 5 thieves are put to one side, the more the light of god starts to shine through....that i can vouch for...he gives you his proof for the efforts you are making. God bless you and the Sangat on your journey back to Waheguru. [/QUOTE]
