Imagine you are reading a book and all that is written is Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru infinite times. So you are reading Waheguru and keep reading.

No one can focus at first. It takes time and patience. The more Naam Simran you practice(abhyaas) the more your focus will increase. Dont expect immediate results. Make it into a way of life. Keep Amritvela.

Try some of the techniques given and mentioned on other threads.

I also find that Amritvela between 2.30am and 4.30am is probably the best time.

I have tried various times and I do practice it whenever I can but that Divine time of amritvela is definitely some kind of heavenly time. I don't think anyone can really put their finger on it but it is a combination of our own body rhythms, the quietness and a time when the universe can appear still and you can hear yourself both tongue and within.

Also remember that the difference between prayer and simran ?-

Prayer is Talking to God

Simran is Listening to God. It is this listening that requires our attention as we seem to be deaf to the God within us.- The Antarjami

Khalsa Ji,

Imagine that you are walking along a one way street, where thousands of others, are waling in the opposite direction to you. Imagine if you were to start an argument, with every person who knocked against you, or who got in your way; you would never reach your destination, if you did this.

Once you walk this path, on a daily basis, you will find a subtle way to get through the crowd; the other people will also realise, that you too need to get somewhere, and as such will start giving way.

In the same way, Khalsa Ji, unwanted/unsavoury thoughts, will start to give way to Naam Simran. The trick is to keep engaging in Simran, until the mann becomes adhi{habitual}.....

Waheguru.....
