Don't let the mind fool you, never give up

Ik onkar sat Naam Sat gur parsaad param jyot puran prakash Dhan Dhan sat parbrahm pita parmesar bless all prabh ji tu mere praan adharay namaskaar dandauth bandhna anek bar jao baray Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam.

We wasted many years giving up on simran. Because we would try and fail. Then our mind would think what is the point of doing simran when God doesn't come to us  but does for others.  Then we would be in thoughts of being a failure.  Once we were so low so we really believed we are rubbish at doing simran, it's time to finally accept we are hopeless at this and go and do something else we can succeed at and not feel like a failure all the time.    Thankfully we didn't give up and are still here.   But we realise now that all that time we spent thinking we are a failure was just our mind fooling us. So we would stop.    Now we just do simran without fail, don't listen to the foolish mind.  Just say "Baba ji we can't do bhagti, please you come and do it." Then just start saying Satnaam without thinking of achieving something.  And even if nothing happened, or seemed to happen, trust that guru is doing it all for the best. "Just keep doing Satnaam," baba ji said, "when you get tired of sitting, stand, when get tired of standing, walk, when you get tired of singing Satnaam, chant, or go quiet, just keep doing Satnaam day and night."
