Gurbani with focus

[Singh1989]

When it comes to concentrating on Bani there are various ways to do this. One way is focusing on translation so u speak and mind translates what u read (probably best way). Another method is u read and mind picturises each word. A great way to let the imagination go, maybe grey coloured fonts with a purple / pearly looking background? manage the background without changing it (we wanna concentrate on Gurbani, not anything else) or just blackness with golden big fonts. So let's say u recite "Namastua(ng) Akale Namastua(ng) Kripale," u can imagine these 4 words popping up one by one, one after the other. A third method is imagining what u read come to life. So "Sau dr tera kia so ghar kia, jit beh srb smbale" maybe u imagine yourself standing b4 a golden door n gain entry. "Waje tere naad anek asankha, kithe tere gawanhare" now u imagine many souls doing kirtan in praise of the lord. Then u imagine Dharmraj, Brahma and Shiv praising the lord in the darbaar etc... Jatte satte (pure male / female) etc. 

Have an experiment to see what suits u when concentrating on Gurbani. HOWEVER! It is mandatory to learn translations of Gurbani! Imagination and materialising words in head is effective when wanna do gurbabi at a faster pace. First priority, learn translation until u know 7 baanias translation word by word. 

As for kirtan when listening to it and concentrating, kirtanias play waja, sing, play waja (I believe u call this khali)? THEM PLAYING WITHOUT singing is a chance for YOU to concentrate on what they just sang! Sing along in your mind if not loud and try to focus on wha is being sung!

You just need to read it and apply it. 
 

Try reading it once, and remembering and applying it a hundred times physically in your life, instead of reading over and over. If you forget, read it again, and apply.

 

Thats called Truth in action, or Truthful living.
