When reciting Gurbani or doing Simran, many experience sleepiness, negative thoughts, or lack of focus. This isn’t just random—it has spiritual and psychological causes, along with solutions.

1. Good Changes (Divine Presence)

If during Paath:
✅ A few yawns come, but afterward, your mind feels clearer and more focused—this is a positive shift.
✅ Tears well up (without sadness) or you feel deep love for Gurbani—this indicates holy souls (pavitr atmas) are near, blessing your meditation.
✅ Sudden inspiration to recite more Bani or do extra Jaap means divine energy is elevating you.

“When pure souls surround you, they amplify your devotion—making the Bani feel alive.”

2. Bad Changes (Negative Influences)

If during Paath:
❌ Heavy drowsiness, fatigue, or sudden negativity arises.
❌ Disturbing thoughts (fear, lust, anger) distract you.
❌ You feel an urge to stop reciting—this is Maya or evil forces trying to block your spiritual progress.

Why Does This Happen?

Kalyug’s Pollution: Negative energies resist spiritual growth.
Unconscious Stress: The mind’s suppressed impurities surface during meditation.
Lack of Routine: Irregular Paath makes the mind restless.
