Re: Meditation, Why I do not do it.....anymore




One thing I love about Sikhi is singing with shabad.  Today I did it with this video:

Jai-Jagdeesh sings Aad Guray Nameh at Sat Nam Fest 2011 - YouTube


I know a lot of ppl disagree with what the 3HO is about, but regardless it is a profound experience to chant with the video.  What happens as I contemplate on the meaning of it is a feeling of waking up a little more to the Divine Reality.


 

 


Would you share a little more about this?  Isn't it the naam experiencing the giving and receiving through seva?  I'm still a little confused by what Naam is and isn't, but I think of the naam as Divine Light, Vibration and Energy.  If I pet my cat and she purrs, my cat is God experiencing the cozy feeling that makes my cat purr.   Is that how you mean it?

 


 

Would you share one or two of the Youtube videos you do it with?


Isn't meditation how we learn to give our undivided attention to God? By quieting down and being rid of the maya/distractions, we go deep into the Ocean of God.  I think that will radiate into the world. 


Zoroastrians say "good thoughts, good words, good deeds".  Sikhs may word it as "naam in the mind; naam on the lips; naam in the seva".  I love that the nitnem reminds me each day that there is God in both the giving and receiving. 


How can God give if there is no one there to receive?  Harry ji, I think this is all I mean when I say meditation is a way to learn how to experience and share the experience of the Divine.  Maybe my definition of meditation is different than yours.
