Can you tell me Is God and Guru Differnt...

Another thing i want to ask is

Why God wants us to recite his name and Banis Like Jaap Sahib ...in which we praise God
Why is that that God wants us to read.


How to keep continual Faith in god...I lose hope whenever my wishes are not fulfilled and there is strong belief in my mind that my wishes are not Granted easily until unless I have tired crying and begging for that.
I just want to get rid of my this belief but i am not able to..can anybody please help me.

Dear one,
crying and begging for something is kind of like the listener gets so tired of hearing your plea's that they finally give you what you ask for so you will just shut up. Perhaps this has worked with your parents.

True, this expression of emotionality does not work with God. Why, because the state of God consciousness is a refined state of human awareness. When you are in uncontrolled emotions you are robbed of all your elevated human capacity. True?! When you cry uncontrollably you can do nothing else and you have lost your power. In your emotion you may be very focussed on your goal. So, with God better to focus on your goal with strong intent with the bani rather than with a tantrum.

Recitaion of Bani, Shabd is an actual physiological effect of the churning of your tongue on your upper palate to your synapses of your brain that in turn stimulate your thalumus, and your hypothalumus and your thymus cause your glandular system to secrete and balance and the net effect is your experience happiness.

You can read or you can sing and recite without reading. But do this with careful pronunciation and with full focus. And do your meditation for at least 40 days to give yourself the time and clarity to build and experience
