VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA, VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

1) Why it is so difficult to wake up at amritvela ?

burae kaam ko oot(h) khaloeiaa ||

naam kee baelaa pai pai soeiaa ||1||

aousar apanaa boojhai n eiaanaa ||

maaeiaa moh ra(n)g lapattaanaa ||1|| rehaao ||

Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

He gets up early, to do his evil deeds,

but when it is time to meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, then he sleeps. ||1||

The ignorant person does not take advantage of the opportunity.

He is attached to Maya, and engrossed in worldly delights. ||1||Pause||

He rides the waves of greed, puffed up with joy.

He does not see the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the Holy. ||2||

The ignorant clown will never understand.

Again and again, he becomes engrossed in entanglements. ||1||Pause||

He listens to the sounds of sin and the music of corruption, and he is pleased.

His mind is too lazy to listen to the Praises of the Lord. ||3||

You do not see with your eyes - you are so blind!

You shall have to leave all these false affairs. ||1||Pause||

Says Nanak, please forgive me, God.

Have Mercy upon me, and bless me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||4||

He alone obtains something, who becomes the dust under the feet of all.

And he alone repeats the Naam, whom God causes to understand. ||1||Pause||2||8||

2) What to do when we feel sleepy while doing banis after taking shower in amritvela ?

Re-adjust your time to sleep earlier and wake up earlier. It will take time but you will get used to it. It just takes the body a little time to get adjusted. The one thing NOT to do is to compromise - make it your DUTY to get up at a designated time and DO NOT compromise it. That is the only way your body will adjust. Upon waking, only two things should be on your mind - Naam (Vaheguru gurmantar) and the duty to get up. Do not question/debate/discuss with yourself of whether to get up...JUST GET UP!!! That discussion/debate/question is the precise reason why many fail to wake up. Guru Gobind Singh Ji said:

thudhh bin rog rajaaeeaa dhaa oudtan naag nivaasaa dhae hehinaa ||

Without you the use of rich blankets is like a disease for us and the comfort of the house is like living with snakes.

This is the state that must be achieved, but to get to that stage will require discipline.

(3) last but not the least , What are the advantages of waking up at Amritvela ? How it helps us physically and spiritually ?

Japji Sahib:

faer k agai rakheeai jith dhisai dharabaar ||

muha k bolan boleeai jith sun dhharae piaar ||

a(n)mrith vaelaa sach naao vaddiaaee veechaar ||

So what offering can we place before Him, by which we might see the Darbaar of His Court?

What words can we speak to evoke His Love?

In the Amrit Vaylaa, the ambrosial hours before dawn, chant the True Name, and contemplate His Glorious Greatness.

Fourth Mehla:

One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru, the True Guru, shall rise in the early morning hours and meditate on the Lord's Name.

Upon arising early in the morning, he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar.

Following the Instructions of the Guru, he is to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. All sins, misdeeds and negativity shall be erased.

Then, at the rising of the sun, he is to sing Gurbani; whether sitting down or standing up, he is to meditate on the Lord's Name.

One who meditates on my Lord, Har, Har, with every breath and every morsel of food - that GurSikh becomes pleasing to the Guru's Mind.

That person, unto whom my Lord and Master is kind and compassionate - upon that GurSikh, the Guru's Teachings are bestowed.

Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that GurSikh, who himself chants the Naam, and inspires others to chant it. ||2||

How can we become a true Khalsa ( in very image of Guru Gobind Singh jee ) . So that Guru ji may say " Khalsa mero roop hai Khaas ". Khalsa is my special form.

Read the above. Of course, being given Amrit is the entrance into the Khalsa Panth and a requirement.

[MokhamSingh]

Kalyug is the raja of this era. The raja can pass any law he wishes. Kalyug cannot abide people arising at amrit vela and engaging in Waheguru. All the traditional Gursikhs defeated kalyug by reading/listening to Sri Sukhmani Sahib at amrit vela in conjunction with other nitnem.

When you feel sleepy during simran , change your approach i.e. walk around , have a strong tea/coffee.

Sometimes the mind becomes bored or distracted with one method of simran , therefore change methods. For example when mind becomes aaki of reading gurbani then listen to kirtan/katha/read a dharmik granth etc.

Waking at amrit vela and doing ishnaan gives us the same spiritual power as donating a huge amount of gold.

The ultimate aim of manukha janam is to do suaas suaas simran but this can be difficult for some people. The easiest method is:

Wake up at amrit vela , do ishnaan and read/listen to Sri Sukhmani Sahib.
