“Raahu” - means path. The line translates as ‘by God’s hukam we walk on the path. As said Sri Japji Sahib doesn’t contain a Rehaao. 

You can identify a Rehaao as the line ends with || then it’s written Rehaao, followed by || again. Attached is an example. Rehaao is used to emphasise the main message of a shabad

You are right, got myself confused

I think the problem some of us(including me)don't understand completely what we are reading and reciting. When you are watching football or general tv you understand and it evokes emotion.

 

I didnt either. Then long ago when i was innocent and good, I set a goal to do a sehaj paath. (I think i may have bragged about this in the past and it may have been to you too.. so sorry if im repeating myself) but i wasnt good at reading gurmukhi and I also wanted to understand what the guru was saying. So I would listen to a sehaj paath. Theres many recordings online. While following along srigranth.org with meanings. And some of it was so beautiful, it makes one cry. And some of it really guilt trips u lol. Like guru amardas ji calling u a bista ka keera again and again. 

Ofc i could only do this for an hour. Our attention span is limited. So then listen to kirtan. Lots of emotion stirring stuff out there from subliminal raag to akj heart-rending tunes. To motivating dasam bani to uplifting shabads.

Sounds like u need to focus the mind from distractions? 

First of all, do 7 baanias with a full concentration you will notice a minor positive effect in 2 days time only. 

Start listening to katha on yt. I would recommened Giani Takhur Singh ji. At same time do one maala of Mool Mantar minimum every single day (108 mool mantar). Build it up to 216 mool mantars followed by 4 Japji Sahibs (with concentration) ALL this should take roughly 1 hour 15 mins. 

I too blamed hi tech for stealing away the time at one point. However, this isn't true. 1 hour 15 mins is just a build up (with concentration) then the other hours? u can watch footy, go on forums, play on console and not blame hi tech or internet that time is wasted. 

A rookie at the gym won't lift 50kg first day. They start from 12.5kg then go up 15kg... then 20kg within a month... 25kg within 2 months. All of a sudden that 15kg they couldn't lift? becomes their lightest weight to start with new exercise n hitting new muscle groups. SAME principles apply for naam jap, a rookie won't do more than 4 hours a day. If they do it's unlikely to carry on everyday. Then they find it heavy n give up. Build it up. Take out the time to build up Rehat and time. Once u start u will automatically focus.
