When you are on journey of spiritual awakening good or bag thoughts keep crossing our mind. That is ok. But over time this will keep changing more positive thoughts, less negative thoughts. Then you will be able to drop negative thoughts quickly. There comes time when no negative thoughts cross your mind. That is your goal when contemplating GURBANI.

A Sangat can be of any types of group of people. That can be good or bad.
In Guru Granth Sahib the acceptable ones are SatSangat, SadhSangat, GurSangat.
All of them needs the presence of Shabad Guru.
Hence, a Sikh has to have the Sangat of Shabad Guru. One can have the company of the people who are connected with the Shabad Guru (i.e. Gurmukh).
Company plays a great role in ones life and character. True Sikh always live with the company of True Guru Granth Sahib.

We should start taking all sorts of guidance and clarification from Guru Granth Sahib.
Please start following the following advice of Guru Sahib for proper concentration of mind.
ਗਾਵੀਐ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਮਨਿ ਰਖੀਐ ਭਾਉ ॥ Jap – 2
Whatever we recite, we should listen, understand, analyse and follow also.
We need to study Gurbani in the same manner as we do the study of the subjects of our school or college.
Ritual reading is not going to help in any way.
