Concentration While Meditating

[Guest GuesT]

What is it that we should concentrate on while meditating?

and

Where should we concentrate; location of concentration?

[Guest Help 4 u]

The siddhs asked guru nanak dev jee the same question.

Concentrate on the 'dhun' (sound) of 'waheguroo'...dhun meh dhiaan, dhiaan meh jaaniyaa.

Don't concentrate anywhere for the time being location wise. Just make sure you are listening to your sound of waheguroo chant. Your surat (conciousness) will automatically connect with increased practice and will slowly slowly (over time) rise to the 10th gate (dasam dwar).

Keep doing as much as you can do, which is the key for concentration.

Hope that helps.

I must have been one of these sidhs, just didn't pay much attention at that time. :rolleyes:

The dhun as you've put it, I do concentrate on. Nowdays hear weird sounds, say kirtan is on, and I hear echos in the cornor of my own head. I don't know how to put it, let's say externally I listen to kirtan but the instruments echo in the cornor of my head internally. What's that?

If I don't concentrate on guru nanak dev ji's charan, it doesn't help me much anyhow. I try to focus on the paddam. It relaxes me overall, otherwise I tend to loose myself in my past, if you really wanted to hear it. And this I do between my eyebrows, say third eye chakra. There is a triangular light I see, it then seems to spread all over like lightning. Maybe you know what I mean...

Thank you for the help. You are the only one it seems that could've helped me.

Will wait for you input. It's hard to stay away, isn't it. Sigh.

An eye-opening moment I just had with guru granth sahib ji. I'll share it.

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਸੰਤ ਮੀਤ ॥

prabh kee ousathath karahu santh meeth ||

ਸਾਵਧਾਨ ਏਕਾਗਰ ਚੀਤ ॥

saavadhhaan eaekaagar cheeth ||

ਸੁਖਮਨੀ ਸਹਜ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਗੁਨ ਨਾਮ ॥

sukhamanee sehaj gobindh gun naam ||

ਜਿਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਬਸੈ ਸੁ ਹੋਤ ਨਿਧਾਨ ॥

jis man basai s hoth nidhhaan ||

ਸਰਬ ਇਛਾ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੋਇ ॥

sarab eishhaa thaa kee pooran hoe ||

ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਟੁ ਸਭ ਲੋਇ ॥

pradhhaan purakh pragatt sabh loe ||

Sache Patshah,

"Tere Naam Ton Siva Hor Mangna Hoyee Ki"
