We need to decrease the speed. Take as long as you want! As long you've understood what you've read rather than done path and that's it (freedom) < concept of the mind.

Many people are under the misconception that speed amounts to nothing while doing Paath slowly is better. It all depends on the person. Many people do many Paaths a day, for them speed is better for concentration and focus while for some the opposite is true and they like doing Paath slowly. Baba Nand Singh Jee use to do Sukhmani Sahib within minutes because his mind was better tuned for speed. Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale did a hundred Japji Sahib Paaths, Panj Granthi and other paaths besides his Nitnem every day because his mind was also better adapted to doing paath fast. Doing a large amount of Paath with speed everyday is a good way to increase focus on the Paath and also you get to do a larger armount of Paath. But do what ever suits you, if doing slowly you focus more, then do that. Besides, this discussion is not about fast or slow paath.

My only point to post here was that people here saying that you can and should eat before your morning Nitnem is over while traditionally one should first do their morning Ishnaan and Nitnem before eating unless you are elderly or sick and cannot wait for these reasons.

WRT SPEED OF PATH - CAN WE HAVE A SEPERATE THREAD PLEASE?

HAS ANYBODY HEARD KIRTAN OF BHAI RANDHEER SINGH JEE - HAZOORI RAAGI DARBAAR SAHIB, HERE YOU GO -

THAT'S THE WHY I LIKE TO DO MY NITNEM SOMETIMES (ESPECIALLY JAAP SAHIB), SO 2-3-4 TIMES REPITIION OF A SINGLE LINE,SLOWLY TO MAKE GURBAANI GO IN MY SOUL/BRAIN/BLOOD. SO, I FEEL SLOW IS THE KEY ..., FAST LOOKS LIKE I PROBABLY JUST WANT TO RUN AND CATCH A TRAIN ... PROBABLY MY "SOUL", INNER MAKES A LOT OF NOISE, AND TILL THE TIME I DON'T DO PAATH SLOWLY, SOUL DOES NOT LISTEN AND HENCE NO BENEFIT OF DOING IT. IF ONE IS DOING IT FAST, AND ONE'S SOUL IS LISTENING, THEN GOOD.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
