I want to fall asleep sometimes at those things, especially if it is is during a workday or evening.   

What to do, some are born with tiredness

How long did your experience last?

Veerji not really sure.Maybe 2 to 3 minutes.

Are you allowed to share them with us? When you are doing your Simran do you sit in a cross legged lotus position on the floor or do you sit in a chair or on the side or edge of your bed? How long does it take before you have experiences? How long does your sadhna last? Do you stay alert all throughout your meditation or slip into some kind of drowsiness where you find yourself half asleep and half awake?  You don’t have to answer any of my questions if you don’t want to, but I am really desperate for some practical guidance and help. 

One last question. Before you sit down for your meditation what kind of mind-frame are you in? I mean, do you have to struggle to keep your mind focussed or does it come naturally?  Honestly, you don’t have to answer any of these questions, but it would help other seekers and myself enormously if you do.  Have you had anymore darshans of anyone else? What about sounds? Do you hear any? If you do, then how long do they last? I would really appreciate some input from you. 

It depends.Somethings that are supposed to be gupt.Guru Sahib will signal to me that I cannot tell.While other things it's fine.I normally sit cross legged while simran.Some experiences come during simran,others come randomly.Theres no fixed time before getting experiences.The only thing I can say is it really depends on Maharaj.When Maharaj thinks it's fine then you get the experiences or memories.As for how long I am in that sadhna or what state I am in I really cant say that as it is supposed to be gupt.I cannot tell about my state of mind either and any other experiences yet.I have to wait for Hukam.

May be God’s punishing me for my past karmas!

The True God Waheguru Akal Purukh never ever punishes anybody, for He is an infinite Ocean of Love and Mercy.

It is our own sanskaras which show out.

Not all people are at the same  mental or spiritual level.

I suggest you that though you fall asleep, please continue with your bhakti, for what counts in His eyes are your efforts, the resullts are in nobody´s hands.

One day by His grace, your apparently so called "kachee"bhakti will turn into a "pakee" one.

Just keep going.

Go to sleep earlier so that you aren’t as tired or wake up later within Amrit vela so you’ve had more sleep?

My problem is I fall asleep when doing simran, any help would be most appreciated. I get very upset when this happens.  I feel like I have wasted my time.

Brother, is it quite common for people to fall asleep when doing naam simran? If so, does it mean, we haven’t done any progress in our abhiyas? What becomes of people like us that fall asleep while remembering God at Amritvela? Do we go to hell? Can you pls answer these questions, as I am really anxious to know.

I wonder that too..really good question..

CHaamCHrick Jee,

how would you explain if a child goes to school but instead of paying attentio to what is being taught in the class, falls asleep or keeps on looking at the walls or the ceiling.

How can ever that child learn something and become a graduate one day?

Well, that is as per worldy "learning", but in the path of bhakti, Waheguru is not like that, He is a boundless ocean of love and mercy, thus for sure He will give us better envoirements in future lives to evolve spiritual wise.

But then, if He has already blessed us as human beings, why not make the most of it right now?

Just tell me, when we go to watch a movie, or a concert, or whatever worldy entertainment, do we fall asleep?

No, isn´t it?

Then why when we engage in His bhakti?

You see, if we fall asleep, means that either we are not doing our spiritual practices when we  are fresh and alert, or, we have not even a tiny  value of His Omniscience and Omnipresence.

Jut go through the lives of Guru Sahiban or Bhagat Jan, and try to get inspiration of how He should be loved and given our devotion.

See the love for example of Fifth Patshahee for His Father Guru Ram Das in the shabad : mera man lochay Guru darshan...

 

 

Thank you.

If it is really hard to stay awake during simran, a suggestion I have is that you can go to youtube and type Vaheguru simran.You can follow the simran and sing along.That can help you concentrate.

Shahhed4life ji.. I appreciate your prompt reply.... I used to do that for many months but after listening kathas and more about Simran..Japp.. They all say that I should hear the sound of Waheguru while I recite it.. ''Rasna Naam Jappy tey Mann suney'' by Sant Maskeen ji.. So I really wanted to do that but I feel sad knowing that I am not doing it right.. that is why I am falling asleep  pretty much all the times..

Bhenji do not feel sad that you are not doing it right.It is perfectly fine.Guru Sahib will still be pleased as long as we are moving away from maya and heading towards our Guru.If we  make an effort,Guru Sahib will do kirpa.
