Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I'm (more than) thinking of taking Amrit this Vaisakhi, but am concerned that I will not be able to read nitnem in the morning (as I have to get up really early for work). I try and listen to it on the way to work (as it takes me ages to get there!), but is this okay? Can anyone please advise?

I hope my reply does not put you off.

Is it that you cant read your bani in which case you need to learn or that you dont want to get up earlier to do your nitnem?

However it is important to try and read your nitnem every morning even if it means getting up earlier to do it. Listening to your nitnem is fine but then you dont want to start your amritdhari life half heartedly. Doing bani is the most important part of becoming an Amritdhari.- It may even help to get a Santhea teacher who can help you with reading and pronunciation.

I hope I didnt offend or upset you.

I cant find this Katha track but its about TRUE WEALTH by Bhai Parminder singh

and he talks about if u were to make an announcement that Naam Dhan(wealth) is going to be handed out at Gurudwara come at 4am, hardly anyone shows up, but if u were to say 10000$ are going to be handed out to everyone ppl would come early,

The thing is we have not recognised wut the true wealth is,

Benti in your charan, try to make a schedule to go to sleep early and make a routine of walking up early,

Amrit vela naam abyiaas is what really helps us to reach a higher avastha, its just sooooooooooooo hard, maya kaljug is way too strong

thats Y ardaas is important becuz Guru ji helps us!

But for the days u totaly just cant wake up and our MINDS ARE way to professional in making up the greatest excuses too y we need to sleep, "oh my body needs more rest, iv only slept 7 hours need atleast 2 more hours, its way to earlyy,,"

If u bus it to work when u listen to nitnem on ur ipod/mp3 close ur eyes,

if it takes 2 hours to get to work listen to BaBa Jaswant singh ji (Bhagat ji) Nitnem recording,

He is a student of Dhan dhan Sant Gurbachan Singh ji

The nitnem recording is really slow but it is so that u can hear every single lagh (sasay nu siharee, kakay to onkar..) Its amazing becuz when u listen to this recoridng you can see the bani in your mind becuz our mind can catch every singly sylable

plus its like ur doing santhya

becuz when u listen to shudh bani it makes it easier to pronounce!

IMPORTANCE OF SHUDH UCHARAN:

Whenever u are able to listen to bani, Even When u sleep, bani is so powerful, its a gift that we can listen to bani effortlessly, Sants Mahapurshs have ppl stay with them who read bani to them,

Amrit Sanchar ceremony is soooo beautiful!
