Besides doing Nitnem I think a Gursikh should strive to do more Banis. For example doing Aarti bani with Rehras Sahib, doing Rakhya De Shabad with Kirtan Sohilla does not take a lot of time. Many Gursikhs add Sukhmani Sahib and Assa Di Vaar to their Nitnem. More advanced Gursikhs do the entire Panj Granthi as part of their Nitnem.

Doing multiple Japji Sahib Paaths is also a good routine. Along with doing Paath, I think tukh by tukh one should also try to understand the Viakhya of Japji Sahib. It is much more fun doing paath when you understand it. Japji Sahib is a very deep bani, so a careful study of this bani should be done by reading various Teekas and listening to Kathas done by knowledgeable Gursikhs. Once you start to understand Japji Sahib, you will notice your outlook and perception of everything will start to change and become more Gurmat oriented.

I like to read Sri Raagmala daily. extra-wise thats about it. I prefer to listen to katha when not doing paath.

The bigger question is, understanding the message and vidiya contained within path and baani and applying it to your daily life this is the true value. Paath is not magic you won't gain anything repeating words you don't understand parrot fashion. Analyse baani and apply the teachings then you will see benefit.

Waheguru I had to go through all my emails to find this, but I knew that when it was sent to me, i would need to use it.

THEY SAY: “FILL IT AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE”.

Why Should We Read Guru Granth Sahib, Even if We Can't Understand A Single Word.

This is A Beautiful Story.

An old American Sikh lived on a farm in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky with his Young Grandson.

Each morning Grandpa was up early, sitting at the kitchen table,reading his Guru Granth Sahib.

His grandson wanted to be Just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read The Guru Granth Sahib just like you: but I don't understand it, and what I dounderstand, I forget as soon as I close The Granth Sahib.

What good does reading the Granth Sahib do?"

The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,

"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time,"

And sent him back to the river with the basket to try again

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home.

Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get

A bucket instead.

The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.

You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said, " See Grandpa, it's Useless!"

"So you Think it is Useless?" The old man said, "Look at the Basket."

“The boy looked at the BASKET and for the first time realized that the BASKET was different.

It had been transformed from a Dirty Old Coal Basket and was now clean, inside and out.

"Son, that's what happens when you read Guru Granth Sahib.

You Might Not Understand or Remember Everything, But When You Read it, you Will Be Changed, inside and out.

“That is the work of Waheguru in our lives"
