Think

[Guest _thinker_]

if only we would think

if only we could just control our minds to think

to think and realize what we were thinking was of no use whatsoever

and then perhaps we would think of something worthwhile thinking of

the only thing worth thinking of is naam

why do we always let our minds think about the maya of the world

why cant we just think

we are wasting our time talking and tihnking about useless things, even whilst i am writing this post, i am thinking about the post, not about naam, i am wasting my time

Why cant we shut up and think

why is it so damn hard

admin dnt delete, im a guest so cant post in other sections

[Guest Papi]

only if it was that simple

O Nanak, he alone is known as Gurmukh [not as but through guru's mukh i.e. bani], unto whom the Lord reveals Himself. ||3||

[Simple Singhani]

u can only shut up and think about naam by reading bani etc. Otherwise it is hard to sit and concentrate on naam... this only ccomes with gurus kirpa.

[Guest _thinker_]

i was not talking about sitting in one place and doing naam simran

i was talking about, replacing all of our USELESS thoughts, with thoughts of doing simran

I mean we really are stupid people, we have been blessed with such a rare opporutinty to jap naam in the human form and we completely WASTE it, we hardly ever think about doing naam simran, we hardly ever think about vahiguru, we waste our time thinking about the world, maya takes our mind and makes it wonder all over the place, and when shes finsihed, our life has come to an end, and there is not time left, then our mind will stop wondering. When we see death aproaching out minds will quickly stop wandering, but by then, its too late........
