(REPLY) Sat Nam. The reason for doing Path, and chanting, and reciting God's name is to give us the qualities, strength and wisdom of the Gurus to cope successfully with whatever challenges life brings us. The more in tune we are with the Guru's bani, the more effective will be our prayers - for others or for ourselves. The important question is whether or not you yourself recognize your own soul -- . Wahe Guru lives and breathes in you, there is no separation except in your mind -- so learn to meditate, keep chanting, keep doing paath. "Manjit, Jagjeet." (He who conquers the mind, conquers the world.) May God bless you and Guru guide you always. SP
