Any Bani can give any kirpa. There is no limitation on the kirpa that a particular shabad can give. However, I find that meditation on a shabad that discusses the blessings that one is seeking helps grant those blessings more quickly. I’ve found this shabad to be extremely helpful in dealing with anxieties and fears, especially those day to day anxieties regarding work and life etc.
ਭੈਰਉ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

I feel no fear, because this is what I understand. ||1||
ਰਾਖਾ ਏਕੁ ਹਮਾਰਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥
The One Lord, my Lord and Master, is my Protector.
ਸਗਲ ਘਟਾ ਕਾ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of Hearts. ||1||Pause||
ਸੋਇ ਅਚਿੰਤਾ, ਜਾਗਿ ਅਚਿੰਤਾ ॥
I sleep without worry, and I awake without worry.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa whaeguru ji ki fateh
usually the simpler explanations have more truth in them then explanations involving unseen processes like magic etc. Odds are that you have health problems simply b/c of some bad karma combined with wrong health habits in this life. If you start following proper habits then those problems will disappear. with better health (and good sangat, following rahit, ardass etc) you will find it easier to focus on your bani and on your studies. If a problem took a long time to appear, it may need more time to be resolved, so have patience. Bhagat ji always recommends that people with health problems read his health pothi, which you can download from http://www.gursevak.com.
As for Amrit, the punj pyare should follow rahit, Amrit MUST be of 5 banis and not fewer, and the person taking Amrit must live the lifestyle to gain the benefit. Even in that case, we have to do simran, seva, satsangat, and have proper habits to overcome the negative effects of our past janam’s karams. We really have no idea how bad they are, perhaps Satguru’s grace is holding back the worst of them and we are only experiencing their partial effect.
I also had serious health problems that greatly interfered with my studies. It took a long time to overcome them but I did and I finished my studies as well. It was revealed in a dream that these problems were due to an obstacle from my past karams. in that dream a giant poisonous black snake was killed by the sangat to protect me, while an unkown mahapurkh watched. in this way, it was symbolically revealed that those bad karams were finished. after that point things in my life improved, albeit slowly.
The other thing i want to add is that sometimes after a long layaway from studies, the mind doesn’t function as quickly. I recommend you eat a lot of fruits and veggies in your diet. Eat a handful of almonds soaked from overnight everyday and throw in some haldhi b/c it’s a great detoxifier. Grind up some flaxseeds and store them in a glass jar in your freezer. Eat a tablespoon or two with meals everyday to give your brain more omega 3 fatty acids. I also find that when i exercise regularly, my mind is sharper and quicker. It can take time to bring your mind up to where you want it to be, but by examining your habits you can see what brought you to this place in life, and by replacing those habits with new ones, you can set yourself up to go where you want to go in life.
i hope that helps. and remember, Guru ji is the anchor of life, the fulcrum, he should be your center. In this way we begin the process of attaching to the permanent and remain safer from the ups and downs of life.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa whaeguru ji ki fateh
wahe guru ji ka khalsa, wahe guru ji ko fateh,
My small addition to what “Singh” has stated above.
“… but i am still having problems. what should i do? … but i have not benefitted.”
These two phrases are the barriers preventing you from overcoming your problems. When you do paath, your mind is already looking for a solution and expecting the problems to go away, and this prevents you from concentrating on your paath and loose the benefit of paath from residing in your heart. Since you have done amrit paan, so obviously you must be doing 5 bannis paath in the morning, rehras in evening and kirtan solhila before retiring for the night. Just try to concentrate more on the paath instead on doing paath with the objective of just solving your problems.
Remeber, we as Gursikhs have to accept both happiness and sorrow with equal heart. “Tera bhana meetha lagge.” Waheguru wants you to remember him thru his shabad from your heart. Just hand over your problems to him with trust and not expecting something back in return.
They will disappear without you even notcing it.
May waheguru bless with lots of sushine.
Where can i find this prayer in english so when i say it it will be pronounced in punjabi when recited? thanks
you can find the english transliteration of the entire Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji on http://www.searchgurbani.com/. This shabad is shown at http://www.searchgurbani.com/guru_granth_sahib/shabad/4064/line/2. Please keep in mind that transliteration, no matter how good, still cannot be totally accurate. The only way to do proper paath is by learning Gurmukhi. I suggest http://www.gursevak.com as the easiest way to learn shuddh (proper) pronounciation.
