GivemesomeTipstohelpinSimran
ThesetipswillhelpyoutounderstandSimranbetter.
KeepyourselfalertandattentiveduringtheSimran.Dontgetlost.
DontpushyourselftodoSimran.Doitnaturally.
The above time limitsforSimranareminimumrequirements.YoucandoSimranaslong
asyouwantorfeelcomfortable.Youwilllearnbyexperience.
Focus on third eye point should be natural. You dont have to force yourself. Whenyou
keepdoingSimran,yourattentionwillautomaticallycometothispoint.
When you do Simran, you come closer to your mind and you experience all past
memories, good or bad. This is natural. The key is not to follow those memories, just
focusonyourvoiceorbreath.
Always always always remember there is no adverse effect of Simran. If you feel
pressure on your stomach, backbone orthirdeyepoint,dontgetscared.Thisisnormal.
The Word is finding its way through these points. Dont move your body or open your
eyes,justkeepgoing.
When doing Simran with breath, hold your breath for sometime (as long as you feel
comfortable)andkeepchantingWaheguruinthemind.
Duringthe day,continueSimranwithbreathandkeepyourselfconnectedwiththeDivine
Word.
Controlyouranger.Keepyourselfcalm.
Dont lose interest in your routine life. Work, study and family is as important as
WaheguruSimranis.WaheguruSimranmakesyoumoreefficientinyourworldlylife.
Chanting Waheguru is not a mechanical process or a mere repetition. This repetition is
importanttoremindmindabouttheDivineWord..
Dontexpectbenefitsimmediately.Yourmindhasbeenwanderingforsolong.Itwilltake
sometimetosettledown.Soonerorlater,youwillstartenjoyingSimranforsure.
After doing Simran for couple of months, you will feel strong power inside. Control this
powerandabsorbitwithin.Dontdiscussitwithanyone.
Being thoughtless does not mean knowledgeless. Instead of your thoughts, your
intuitionguidesyou.
Getting started and keep practicing is the key. The more you do, the better you
understand. If you merely keep talking about sugar, how canyouknowthetaste?If you
keep saying "fire, fire, fire", canitwarmyou?Similarly,ifyouchantWaheguru,onlythen
youknowthetasteofit.
Our body has limited needs. We try to make ourselves happy by feeding our body and
ignore our soul. Simran is food of the soul. Give this food to it and you will become
happyforever.
