Sukhmani Sahib is prayer I am doing since last so many years in the train. I do first half at home then continuing in train. Question is sometime i am in confusion how to recite. If i recite loud I feel great. Somtime i recite in mind then i see diff. results at home like my wife got lot of anger when i reach home or my son got sick especially with very heavy nose congestion. If i pray and listen to it, i see myself with chest congestion. It happens so many times.Please can someone help me with this? Is it co-incident or something i am doing wrong? I do prayer without Gutka Sahib. Please help

Thanks
Gavinder

Sat Siri Akaal. Sukhmani Sahib is best recited all at once, but I realize that is not always possible. It is OK to recite it in a whisper, since I know other train riders can be irritated when we recite too loudly. It is incorrect thinking to presume that reciting it silently is the cause of your wife's anger or your son's illness.

The family that PRAYS together stays together. Why you don't recite it as a family? Even if you recite half in the morning and the other half at night, together, see the results. If your son is too young, find a way to have him in the room when you recite, and as he gets older help him read it with you. Using a Gutka will help keep you focused, especially when you do it together.

If you get resistance from your family to reciting together, then recite in their presence or in a room with the door open. Recite it beautifully, so they are drawn to the sound current.

If you continue to do it by yourself, then use your powers of the mind to focus light and love around your family members while you recite. This technique should help to smooth your daily ups and downs (typical of any family).

I hope this helps. Guru ang sang,
