Re: Why Not Yoga Practices


Reaspected aad002 ji,


Many thanks for admiring my avatar.


Jap or Naam Simran and Yoga are all interrelated. But I do not wish to disturb your own understanding on that. Our Gurus are intending to prepare us to merge into the Ocean but for some reason, due to ones Past Karmic blindness/inadequacies, just cannot see the light and are happy to stay in the darkness of their small well.


Yoga refers to a state of mind wherein thoughts and feelings are held in check. This too is the case when you do Naam Jap or Simran. One passes through the same zone and experiences the same that is if one has. All other experiences are a figment of ones imagination based on what you hear and idle gossip.


“The true Sikh is the living yogi, for he lives unattached in the midst of Maya.” (Var, 29-15) Bhai Gurdas


Even after reading this verse by Bhai Gurdas one still does not want to take ones blindfold off then it is indeed ones misfortune.


I would like to leave a small reminder:


“One is chosen by Parmatma to do Naam Simran. No one has the ability to do so otherwise. When you indulge into Naam Simran, it is God within  you that is active . Never think that you have the ability to do anything on your own.


“Jab eh kehat ki main kish karta,  Tabb eh Garab Jon mein firta”


Having said that one should keep practicing in sehaj avastha so that when your turn comes as a chosen one then your Mind and Body are both ready for the journey.


So aad002 ji, your 10 minutes on Simran and 30 Minutes of Yoga add up to 40 minutes on your self tuning. 

Good Luck with your journey.
