Gurbani Paath, when done correctly, immediately initiates automatic and effortless Naam Abhyaas within. It does not matter if it is slow or fast love, vichaar and Anand should be present. The moral of the Vichaar is that one should do Paath in such way that one can derive Anand and Vichaar from it. As the matter of fact, with Balvaan Surthee alone, one can do Paath at the speed mentioned above in Bhai Atma Singh jee's case. As one's Surthee gets Balvaan (strong), one can comprehend and contemplate on Gurbani Paath, even when it's done fast. Love can be present there in both fast and slow Paaths and same holds true for Vichaar. How many Paaths he did throughout the day, is beyond our imagination.ĭoing Paath with love does not mean that you have to do Paath slowly. As mentioned before, Bhai Atma Singh jee Panjokhra Sahib used to get up around 1:30 am or so and as soon as he used to wake up, Siri Sukhmani Sahib used to start within him, like a tape recorder and in 16 minutes his Siri Sukhmani Sahib used to get completed and this was even before doing Ishnaan. There are Gursikhs who normally do Paath in half the speed you mentioned and some may be even faster. But other times I am still reading 100 miles per hour, but experience great enjoyment piyaar with nitnem and other baniaa.įirst of all, doing Nitnem in 27-30 minutes and Siri Sukhmani Sahib in 40-45 minutes is not too fast. I must admit that some times it does feel like I am making a dogs dinner out of nitnem and my main objective is to finish nitnem as fast as possible and move on. I know alot of Gursikhs will say paath should be read with piyaar, saihaj and average speed so that you can vichaar the naambani, but I only enjoy it fast. If I read paath slow and in saihaj I get frustrated and vedry impatient and I automatically start reading faster and faster. Quote I read my nitnem and other Baniaa really fast, sometimes it is so fast that I can complete panj bania in 27-30 minutes and Sukhmani Sahib in 40-45 minutes. We have been told by some Gursikhs that Bhai Sahibs avastha was very high and that he could comprehend and vichaar with love and rass every word of paath that was being read even it was extremely fast, I don't think that is the case me. On completion of abhiyaas we found that nitnem and Sukhmani Sahib was so, so fast that it was barely comprehendible and not really siutable for visitors such as myself. When me and my singhnee visited Amritsar in 2001, we attended the amritvela programme with Bhai Sahib Surat Singh (Pooran Daar) and sangat. But other times I am still reading 100 miles per hour, but experience great enjoyment piyaar with nitnem and other baniaa.
I read my nitnem and other Baniaa really fast, sometimes it is so fast that I can complete panj bania in 27-30 minutes and Sukhmani Sahib in 40-45 minutes. Waheguru jee kaa Khalsa, Waheguru jee kee Fateh,
