Once he has his target in sight of his arrow, no noise, no wind, no smell, no movement or anything will shift his attention, his whole being and mind is focused on the prey and the prey alone.

VAH!!

This reminds me of a bit of Mahabharat:

Dronacharya - the Kuru teacher - created a test, by putting a bird on the tree and telling each of his disciples to find it and aim for it with the Bow and Arrow.

Drona asked Yudhistir: "What do you see?"

Yudhistir: "I see the sky, the tree, the branch, the bird on this branch"

Drona then asked his own son.. His reply was: "I see the bird on the branch, and your feet"

Then he asked Arjun what he could see.

"I see the bird's eye.. nothing else"

This was Drona's way of showing his son how Arjun was indeed his best student.

I can tell you right now, moving does!

thhir ghar bait(h)ae prabh apanaa paavahu ||2||

Remain steady and stable within the home of your own self, and find God. ||2||

I think here the reference to remain steady and stable is related to the Mind. We tend to think many things as the mind has a tendency of wandering. Hence our mid sould be stable and steady. It is that I am presuming. I am giving below some tips on controlling mind. I am sharing with you as I find this useful on many occassion.

Some Guide-lines in Mind-control

Mind is so framed that it runs to extremes. Through Sadhana or spiritual practice, it should be brought to a balanced state. It is one-sided by its very nature. It is through mental drill or training that integral development must be achieved.

Make a vigorous and earnest search within. Do not trust the mind and the Indriyas. They are your enemies. Lust and wealth are your bitter foes. These are two great evils.

Mind exercises its sovereignty over man through the force of attachment, craving. It does various tricks. When you once know its ways, it lurks like a thief. It will no longer trouble you.

In controlling the mind, you have to do seven things:

1. You must get rid of all desires.

2. You must control your emotions. You must control the temper so that you may feel no anger or impatience.

3. You must control the mind itself so that the thought may always be calm and unruffled.

4. You must control the nerves through the mind so that they may be as little irritable as possible.

5. You must give up Ego. Ego strengthens the mind. It is the seed of the mind. When you have become an Egoless, how can criticisms, taunts and censure affect you?

6. You must destroy all attachments ruthlessly.

7. You must give up all hopes and prejudices.

The following will bring you peace of mind undoubtedly:

o Avoid the company of evil persons.

o Live alone.

o Reduce your wants.

o Do not argue. Arguing creates sense of hostility. It is a sheer waste of energy.

o Do not compare yourself with others.

o Do not lend your ears for public criticism.

o Give up the idea of name and fame.

I've done it a few time myself, as with the motions of the naam simran being said and the "sound" of it.

Can anyone give me more info, like that is it called, if theres a better term, etc...

THE ONLY thing which i have learned is that you should NOT Feel your body during naam simran, coz body is an illusion. Hence The shaking in my view is Manmat

Sometimes people nod their head slightly to simran, or even shake thier body, to create an artificial feeling of annand. I say its artificial b/c it's not being created by the simran by itslef, but the movement. this kind of anand is different from the feeling gained from simran. either way, i don't really think it matters if people do it, so long as they don't do this:

:rolleyes:

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
