Gaining Concentration

Post by SaminaNurali »

I have a very major porblem of gaining concentration. Even in Bandagi i lose my concentration and start thinking in different layers. My daily routine is also distrubed because of it. I am going through different problems and i think thts the major reason.

If any one of you can help me out. i really want to break the wall and gain my concentration again. Kindly help me out if any one of you can.

See if reading Thich Nhat Hanh's The Miracle of Mindfulness helps. It is a small book and an easy read.

No mater how many books you read, how many video you watch to get concentration during meditation , nothing going to work sister. it may help little bit but not much.
The only trick will work in Bandagi is practice, practice and practide, do not give up, keep going and one day you will be able to concentrate in your bol. Remember this you will be your own teacher as you gain progress. Try this it may work, as per one ginan of Pir Sadardin, when you loose your concentration in your bol recite the Salwat.
You can take a deep breath too, or hold your breath for little while and start to take breath as normal but never give attention on your breath but try to give more and more attention on your bol that way you will be able to regain the concentration.
Patience in bandgai is most important.
About the concentration in your daily routine task please be calm, never get angry, take plenty sleep, play puzzels, play the games which give excercise to your mind, eat almonds give up stress, read good books, watch the tv program which you like most. etc. and if nothing work please take advice of specialist. Good luck.

there is a way to get better concentration. in abu ali waez he was referring this in remembrance in one of sultan Mohammed shah Farman saying that you should not start bandagi right away, you must do 2 things before first of all ask for forgiveness then after that is done thanks for what you got in this life to live and should appreciate alot for anything being granted. then you can start your bandagi also he refer to one pir asking something to maula in a roop or form of a lady because ladies heart are one that repents the most so he said ask anything to lord in slave form and watch your bandagi state of mind will be powerful and inshallah you will gain more concentration.

Today, i was in Maulana Hazar Imam's house(JK) and i heard this farman.
Noor Maulana Karim Bapa says, "jamat comes to me complaining about not able to concentrate in bandagi. It is not a problem, its just your mind". (Please note that these are not words from Hazar Imam, it's my interpretation of that farman)
If i get a chance i will post holy mubarak farman,
Ya ali madad.

I think posting any farmans of our Imams are not permissible in this website but ask Admin first before posting.
