If you are late you should still do your nitnem never stop as for forgiveness and the bal to rise at amtitvela but never just say oh i am too late now and not do it, thats worse .

The hardest part of getting up at Amritvela is the actual act of getting up from the bed. Many times when the alarm goes off, we are in half sleep and just shut off the alarm and go back to sleep. If you are having trouble getting up, the best way to get up is to put your alarm clock far away. So when it rings, you will be forced to get out of your bed to shut it off. This is what works for me at least.

 

 

but i cant hear my alarm what can u do then?

I blast bir ras kirtan in my face with my phones bright <banned word filter activated> light right when i wake up. Usually works lol

You could try and see how it works, also naps help a lot. Literally a 20 minute nap helps me freshen up. Learn how to nap power nap. Other than that, do your amrit vela based on what you can handle. As your avastha increases amrit vela will become easier.

Just for the record, i used to get up at amrit vela but i don't anymore

So why would you think Singh Ji, this happens. Do we get bursts of time when we engage in Naam simran and then we have a time when we just need a break. 

Why do you not want to get up any more? (just curious) 

Lately I have been wondering about this. Why is it that we sometimes stay connected and then we forget our path completely until something else happens and we start from scratch once again.

That is because our present condition is that of waves, as in being up and down, we are not constant nor firm in our Bhakti. If we had hold firmly on His Naam, then Pen Jee, then no mental earthquakes nor tsunamis can ever shake us, We can be up and down, but He does not waver, He is always an anchor, it is for us to cling on His Naam.

Once we sit in the jahaaz of His Naam, which power can tremble or shake us? Absolutely none. We are surrounded and wraped by His Kirpa.

Sat Sree Akal.

Because it's not an easy path, unless God graces one with sharda (devotion) and the inner strength to wake up then. Moh and Maya may also contribute to these phases.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh.

I am a class 11th student from Delhi, India. I was really inspired to wake up at Amrit Vela after watching some videos of Basics Of Sikhi and Gurmat Bibek channel. When I decided to wake up at Amrit vela, I used to sleep at 10 p.m. and wake up at 2:20 a.m.,bathe and recite Nitnem and then sleep. However, I could continue it just for 4 days. Now, I'm really disappointed and looking for a new routine because my lecture and school timings don't match well. 

However, if I wake up at 12:15 a.m. then I think I would be able to set my routine well... I haven't started waking up at 12:15. I just wanted to request that please someone knowledgeable tell me whether waking up at 12 and doing nitnem will be considered as Amrit Vela or not.... 

I would be highly obliged.

Benti to waheguru ji that do kirpa on all Sikhs... Make the unawared ones aware about the importance of Amrit vela and let us wake up early and take lahaa. 

Bhul chuk maaf karni
