Spiritual Plight

HIDDEN POWERS dormant within the human body

noreply@blogger.com (Jessy) — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 13:44:00 +0000

78. There are numerous HIDDEN POWERS dormant within the human body, which can be awakened and mastered gradually, with effort. The human body is a laboratory for spiritual research, and proof can be had by taking the attention current inside. If you can complete your concentration, that is, if you can collect the attention currents(which are permeating the entire body) in the eye focus and can invert your gaze( which means seeing inside rather than outside), you will find that there is intense light within you as are also numberless planes where unceasing music is going on.

The sound current or Audible life stream is inside and can be heard by any one who turns his attention inward. If man invert his hearing faculties, he can hear it. This is a highly technical process and cannot be explained adequately in books.

79. As for concern and symphonic music it is all right. However, the outer music does not feed the soul but only the mind. It is not taboo but it should not distract your attention at the TIME OF BHAJAN. This is the acid test.

Our aim should be to develop and be one with the HEAVENLY MUSIC within.

80. Each soul is like a drop from the great ocean of consciousness. By his “MAUJ”(wave will or Pleasure of the Lord) soul come down and develop or rather degenerate into separate individual entities by contact with MIND AND MATTER.

Spirit is all pervading and when the coverings of MIND AND MATTER are removed it merge in the word.

The soul remains within the cycle of birth and death until contact is made w/ true Master.

Energy Sound Current Secret Spiritual Structure for Two and Half to Three Hour Daily

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Fri, 11 Nov 2016 14:28:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

72. The master never dies. HE IS ENERGY, HE IS SOUND CURRENT and he is always watching over you, you should continue your meditation with love and faith. So long as your attention does not go in and contact the inner Master so as to receive his instruction, you may refer your difficulties to me you should regularly give time to meditation, try to vacate the body and hear the sound.

73. Our mind is our worst energy but when it is properly and firmly handled, and correctly disciplined, it can also be our best friend and helper. An optimistic attitude is very helpful, but what rally and substantially help us is SIMRAM(The Repetition of the five Holy Names). It is a wonderful TALISMAN, the significance and efficacy of which you will realize only you devote sufficient time(TWO AND HALF TO THREE HOUR DAILY) to it to the exclusion of all other thoughts and cares.

The hazy atmosphere of bliss should change into more definite and blissful experiences base on light and sound, the sound current, of course pervades all your being but it must help you to go up, pull you up in fact.

74. Simram is the foundation, and the foundation must be strong. It is helpful, very helpful not only in your spiritual efforts but also in the worldly sphere.

You may do the Simram day time of any other time that suits you, if you find the early morning hours inconvenient.

75. The numbness of the lower limbs and the a feeling of lightness throughout the body are sign of concentration.

76. Karma is washed away by the practice of sound current and as the soul goes, up the will power continues to grow stronger. The karma is cancelled by hearing the sound current within.

77. You can have a full and clear view of Macrocosm and all that it contains by gaining access into the human body, at the eye center. Christ says “The Kingdom of God is within you”. It is nowhere to be found in the outside world. By studying oneself, one can study the universe, the whole “SECRET” will be found in the portion of the human body which is above the eyes. But that “SPIRITUAL STRUCTURE” is behind the curtain of the mind in the deep recesses of the mind, and our has been wandering outside for thousands of lives.

The place is called the “THIRD EYE” or the “CENTER OF CONSCIOUSNESS”. It is to that place that the current of consciousness flows down from the “SOUND” emanates from it; hence Christ called it “WORD” and Dr. Jonson, in his book has referred to it as the Audible Life Stream. This is the straight road that take us back to our true Spiritual Home, in the top of the head, whence the soul originally descended into the body.

As our consciousness withdraws from the extremities of the body up to the eye center, or as the SPIRITUAL CURRENT BECOME separated from the matter that envelops and conseals it, our frailties and weaknesses begin to disappear.

Self Control to control of mind and desirelessness MEDITATION IS ENTIRELY MENTAL PROCESS

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 15:38:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

66. Regarding using one’s will power to curb one’s desire, there are two ways of killing desire and attending desireless: ONE that is generally followed by common folk is to fulfill the desire and get situated. THE OTHER is to create in the Mind indifference to desire by means of Reasoning and self control. Self control would require an effort of one’s will power. The mind is like a restive colt and loves to go where it is forbidden to go. Like a colt, if should be restrained by degrees and not all at once; otherwise it will breaks the restraining chains and fly in the prohibited direction with force.

The master said that one should give up all animal food and alcoholic drink before one is fit to tread the Path which leads to control of mind and desirelessness.

67. You should not think of breathing or paying any heed to it while you are doing SIMRAM, just as you do not think of breathing when you are reading a book. Breathing goes on automatically and requires no attention.

68. A part from the question of taking life egg whether fertile or infertile are exciting food, and for personal who engage in spiritual work, non exciting food is necessary.

69. When you have been able to vacate the body, the disturbing element would be remove and you will be able to get full advantage from sound current, the test of complete concentration is that you should have no consciousness of the body and should be super conscious within.

There is this Important difference: in dream we are the THROAT CENTER, but in Brajan we vacate the body by concentration at the eye center, Love, faith and perseverance is to key to success.

70. As you Know, MEDITATION IS ENTIRELY MENTAL PROCESS, AND POSTURES IN TRADIIONAL YOGA POSITIONS are only aids and not absolutely necessary prerequisites. If bodily infirmity or weakness constantly draws the attention to the lower limbs, it is decidedly better to adopt an easier position and to keep the attention concentrated at the eye center.

71. As your mind learns to remain concentrated at the eye center, this vision may be had at will. However you should not stop here but go on still further so that you may always swim in his love and peace.

61. Radha Swami prescribes a method of practice by which concentration can be brought about “at will” if you want to get the method you should contact a True Master.

62. You should try to focus your attention in the eye center. as concentration develops your soul will have vision of the inner solar system and after crossing it, you may expect to see the astral form of the Master.

Spiritual progress make one indifferent to worldly surrounding and enables one to rise above adverse circumstances. That is the only way. While alive, an initiate is to vacate the body in the same way people do at death, but at will and see what lies beyond. The attention has to be withdrawn from the body and concentrated at the eye center. this is a slow process and is connected with Past Karma. It is a life long process.

63. As you yourself feel, sometimes in the beginning one feel very much elated and filled with a sense of power. Sometimes the attention slips out or down and one has to put in no small effort to bring it back again.

It has been out from the eye center for will not lose its upward tendencies easily.
The pain in the legs and lower part of the body is due to the withdrawal of consciousness. It will not last long but is unavoidable in the beginning if you find it unbearable you may slow the pace. Also do not get up from Brajan at once but gradually, after stroking the legs.

Consciousness is spread through the entire body, RIGHT DOWN TO THE TOES, and is very intimately associated with the body, the separation of this long and intimate association is natural painful but with practice it becomes easy and natural then you will pass through the portals of death and gate of light, into Spiritual Region.

Please do not fear nor worry about faces, however miserable or ill looking that you may see; but go on repeating the Names with love and confidence, and Remember that the protecting power of the Master is always with you. The horrible sight are due to old, may be age long associations and affinities, but are Powerless to exercise any evil influence as long as you take your stand in Nam. They will disappear of themselves.

64. As concentration improves an the consciousness is draw up, The sound Automatically become stronger. In the beginning the emphasis should be on vacating the body.

65. The important thing is to withdraw your ATTENTION FROM OUTWARD OBJECT and turn it within FEELING OF EXHILARATION IS A SIGN OF CONCENTRATION, but the body need not and should be directed TOWARD THE EYE CENTER.

As you learn to hold the attention more steadily, you will be able to see the Master within more clearly and in great detail.

Spiritual Journey Begins from Feet | NAVEL CENTER

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 15:13:00 +0000

57. The way of the spirit is so quick that you can get an answer in a few seconds when once the contact with the Inner Master has been established.

The primary object of s6x is the propagation of the species. It is the Law of Nature, and there is nothing sinful in the proper use of this function by keeping the end in view.

The Secondary object is to make homer life bright with mutual love. S6x for enjoyment is indulgence, and indulgence should be avoided as it as it makes Meditation and Concentration. Difficult everything which hinders our Spiritual progress is sinful. This is the distinction between virtue and vice good and bad according to the Master. The real method of overcoming sexual desires is by concentrating our attention currents in the eye focus and connecting them with the sound current. This contact brings the s6x impulse under control. This is real and natural victory over sex.

Dreams occur when attention descends from the eye center down to the throat center. The eye center is seat of full consciousness if we go down, our consciousness goes on decreasing until we descend into the NAVEL CENTER. then we experience deep sleep and utterly unconscious. Dreams are mostly the results of our day’s thoughts and action. Sometimes, in the case of disciple of the Master, dreams are utilized by the Master to wash away karma. Those who have gained mastery in SOUND AND PRACTICE do not allowed their soul to descend lower than the eye center, even in sleep or rest. They take their soul to higher plane and remain wakeful within, even in sleep.

58. OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY BEGINS FROM FEET AND ENDS AT THE TOP OF THE HEAD. It may be divided into two parts. FIRST is the withdrawal of the consciousness to the eye center, there by completing the concentration, which means the separation of the vital current from the physical body. This is done by the Repetition of the five Holy Names, which is the simplest and the surest method. THE SECOND PART is the inner journey from the eye center upward, and this is done by catching the sound which is vibrating in all of us and leads to our Eternal Home.

The first part is a bit and tedious in the beginning, but become sweet and tasteful when one experience the withdrawal of the current from the body.

59. As the soul’s path from the region of the Negative Power must necessarily take it through the regions ruled by the negative power, the master have deemed it proper to indicate the Names of the rulers of those region. These rulers are the Guardian of the Path and place no obstruction in the way of those who carry out the repetition of Holy Names.

60. The same applies to focusing the attention at the eye center. our consciousness permeates the entire body, down to our toes. We have to draw it up again and bring it to the eye center and send it upward it is then that the door is opened. But the drawing up of consciousness or shaking it loose from the material body is a slow and laborious process. It has been called “The way of the Ant”.

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:51:00 +0000

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

53. The foundation of the practice is the ability to withdraw the current of consciousness from the body and hold it at the eye center.

Stilling the mind is achieved only by the degrees as the end is in the habit of going out. Besides the stored impressions of age, in our subconscious mind begin to come to the surface when we begin our meditation. SIMRAM (Repetition of five Holy Names) is the only remedy, repetition is course of time, will solve all these difficulties and also take you to the eye center.

54. as you are able to devote yourself to SIMRAM and MEDITATION, you will find it easier to overcome these obstacles and will also find more pleasure in your meditation.

55. your problem is both physical and mental the FIRST is easily death with, although the physical and mental act and react on each other. A good nourishing diet should replenish your ENERGY and enable you to meet the situation, but to worry is no good.

Most of us seek the truth, but it is not possible to find truth outside. You must seek it within yourself and when you have realized within yourself you will see it everywhere. You have been instructed in this science and explained the technique of “GOING IN” and after you practice the technique diligently, you will make Spiritual Progress and become indifferent to the squabbles of the world.

56. As a rule, concentration become difficult when we have cares and worries, for then the attention stick to the heart center instead of rising up to the Eye Center.

When you sit for your Meditation firmly banish all cares and anxieties for the time being at least and start the Repetition of the five Names while holding the attention in the eye center, with no other thought in your MIND not even the thought of going up or of measuring your progress.

Give as much time to meditation as you conveniently can and do not try to force result. “How do love the Master” Repetition of the Names should be done diligently, at the proper center, to the exclusion of all other thoughts. As you follow the Path with faith in and reliance on the Master, love will also develop. Faith in the Master while resigning our faculties to the best of our know ledge, is the way of developing love.

47. Ups and down in business and in most things in life are natural, but worry never help any body. The proper thing is to handle the situation in the light of your experience and worldly wisdom and with faith and hope.

BEFORE SETTING DOWN, CLEAR YOUR MIND OF ALL THOUGHTS, THEN DO YOUR SIMRAM (REPETITION OF THE FIVE HOLY NAME) with love and faith.

49. A very slow process, except in the case of those who have trodden the path in a previous incarnation.

50. The real appreciation come when one is able to vacate the body, “go in” and contact Nam.
When you devote yourself to Meditation and Nam, these things will come automatically.

51. Physically pain is compelling and disturbing, no doubt, but the habit of Simram at the eye center make you indifferent to pain to a very great extent.

For you have not yet developed that power and it would only scatter what little you have get. However, you may draw their attention to spiritual realities and spiritual comforts, and render whatever physical service is possible.

52. When the concentration is complete, the sound will come of itself. the function of sound is to pull the soul up. The sound cannot pull it up unless the attention has been withdrawn from the entire body by means of Repetition, just as a magnet cannot attract a piece of iron which is lying been its magnetic field. It is the function of SIMRAM (Repetition of five Holy Names) to bring about the stillness and concentrating of mind. Repetition should be performed while the attention is fixed at the eye center.

Our spiritual Journey begins from toes of the feet and ends at the crown of the head. We come up to the yes via Simram. From we travel to the fifth stage, at the top of the head, with the help of Sound Current.

Spiritual Meditation | The Region of Pure Spirit on Nam

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 13:11:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

43. Happiness comes by going in and contacting Nam because there is no change in the region of Pure spirit on Nam. The phenomenal world is the world of change and the spirit world is the world of Eternal Bliss.

BY CONCENTRATING AND REPETITION OF THE FIVE NAMES YOU HAVE TO WITHDRAW THE CURRENT OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT NOW PERVADES THE ENTIRED BODY, UP TO THE EYE CENTER AND THENCE CATCH THE SOUND CURRENT. If you devote yourself earnestly to this task, you will hardly have much time for other thins, and your desire for over indulgence will automatically vanish. You have tried so many things now try this also in right earnest and see the result.

44. Have a stronger mind than to attribute their troubles to “Evil Influence” of other.

45. I would appreciate your giving proper time to Meditation. think of worldly business even due but also find time for the most important business of life. Out of twenty four hours we are enjoined to devote only two and half hours, and if circumstances be unfavorable and we cannot find two two and one half hours at a time, we are allowed the concession of completing this quota in two or three installments.

Our true mission in life is to withdraw our attention to the Eye Center and Contact Nam and thereby become supermen, but we are not to neglect our worldly duties and should earn our living in a honest manner by following whatever trade or profession we are fit for can take to easily. A life of SPIRITUAL MEDITATION does not mean a life of cloth or haphazard careering we should work with a determined will in both spheres.

46. It may not be possible for you to come here physically, but in thought and spirit you can by devoting yourselves to Repetition of the Holy Names and listening to the source current. The sound current is ubiquitous, pervades everywhere and receives the messages of loving heart those who tune with it feel its presence.

TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT | Meditation Technique

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 08:10:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

39. You should do well to grasp the technical connection between the mind and the body the object of initiation is to enable the disciple to concentrate all his attention and consciousness at the EYE CENTER (THE THINKING CENTER) so that he may be able to contact the shabd, the Divine Melody which is resounding within and with its help, go up and reach the highest spiritual region whence it emanates.

As long as the Mind is attached to outward form and is ruled by sense pleasures, it cannot go up the thinking center. yielding to the sense also weakens the intrinsic power of the mind, for them it has to depend for its pleasure and enjoyment on external objects instead of upon itself. forms change and their pleasures also are short lived, besides occasionally giving one a severe shock. If man were to make himself independent of outward form and seek happiness and enjoyment within, he would grow strong and be able to go in at will then he would shed all his weaknesses and hold the mind and senses in control.

Lust is perhaps the strongest of the five enemies and must fought. Adding fuel to the fire only increase the conflagration and certainly does not extinguish it. I would suggest that you control it consciously. By dwelling upon its harmful effects.

By developing the opposite qualities, i.e. controlled and virtuous life, and realizing the Immense help it gives in Spiritual life

By keeping yourself busy with your duties. When means and circumstances permit, you may marry and settle down, and lead a controlled married life.

40. You now have the technique for meditation and you should find regular time for it everyday. If you cannot sit for TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT AS LONG AS YOU CONVENIENTLY CAN AND THEN INCREASE THE PERIOD GRADUALLY. If you pressed too much for time you may divided it into two periods, but it is always preferable to have one long sitting. The important thing is to withdraw the current of consciousness from the body and hold it at the eye center.

You should never try to force your views on them but should win them over by your conduct and if you are true to your spiritual duties, it is bound to influence them.

41. Please try to find a better house and, till you get another, try to make yourself as comfortable as you can under the circumstances. One should strive, but without being affected by the results.

42. I may at once tell you that black magic will not touch you if you are true to your pledges as a satsangi and do you Repetition of Names properly. Black Magic affect only weak – willed people. Even non satsangis cannot be affected by it if they posses a strong will.

Troubles and disappointment and even failures do come to us in life. We should face them with a strong will and with faith and confidence in the Master. You have been taught to rise above these distractions. By faith and regular Repetition of the Sacred Names. Similarly, when you fear adverse influences, you should not think of them but of the Master and Nam and try to take your attention to the eye center with quiet Mental Repetition of the Five Holy Names given to you at the time of initiation.

A spirit of Mutual accommodation is far more helpful then cold logic.

The Inner Power | CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 13:13:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

34. Hard work does make one feel tired and sometimes sleepy, for sleep is Nature’s mode of giving rest to the body. At such time it is difficult to MEDITATE PROPERLY, but one keep the thoughts on the Master, i.e. inwardly on the Master and shabd.

Please try to find TIME FOR BHAJAN when your mind is fresh and the body less tired. If you can manage it early morning after you have had you full sleep, is very good. The meditation that you do now is doubly useful, for it will influence the mentality of the child and will plant GOOD SANSKARAS - prenatal impressions – on the child. Your thinking of the Master and reading books, either satsang literature or other good moral books, will have the same effect.

36. The Inner Power is unerring and, if only the disciple has enough faith and love, the response is always there. All things come to him who does his duty and waits in love and faith.

37. PRAN YOG IS AN ARTIFICIAL METHOD. IT AIMS AT CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH. AT DEATH PRAN IS LEFT BEHIND AN WITH IT, THE MEANS OF CONTROLLING THE MIND. It is like putting chains on a bad character, so long as chain are holding him, he behaves all right; but as soon as the chain removed the bad character resumes his old evil ways. Moreover, Pran Yoga involves danger to health and that is also why the Master do not approve of this method. The method of the saint is natural. They want to control and concentrate the mind by means of repetition while the attention is fixed at the eye center. by constant to concentrate and the body being to be vacated from the extremities upward until the whole body becomes numb and all the soul and mind currents are concentrated in the eye center. and when the sound current is contacted, the mind comes under control forever.

No doubt yogis are earnest an sincere, but that does not affect the method they prescribe. The purpose of life is to bring about vacate the entire body. Precisely the same thing happen at death. This is technically knows as “SEPERATING THE ANIMATE FROM THE INANIMATE” the method of repetition should not cause pain anywhere is the body, after the period of meditation. if there is any pain, a doctor should be consulted. You should read all the available literature on this path.

Do not try to catch the sound. Try to bring about concentration by means of repetition. When the concentration grows, the sound will come itself.

38. Meditation is a mental process, and if one can take the attention in at any time, it is easily done. Regularity of the time seclusion and adoption of certain postures are aids to the process of concentration, and are very desirable because the prevent the attention from being distracted. But if it is not possible to keep certain hours, Meditation and concentration may be practice in any posture and at any time which is convenient to you. Likewise Simram or the repetition of the Holy Names can be practice quietly especially when one has leisure.

Make the Mind Motionless | Bell Sound Comes From the Left Ear

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 12:07:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

29. You were initiated about five years ago. An initiate is expected to devote a minimum of two and a half hours every day to his devotions. If you had given so much time daily, even to repetition alone, the mind would have been stilled.

The first step is to make the mind motionless by means of Repetition, with the attention fixed at the eye center. During numerous past births, the mind has acquired the habit of wandering out. It is not still for even a moment. Constant and concerted labor is required for many years to make the mind motionless the mind is still, it cannot go in.

The reason for your inability to go in is not vasectomy, but the lack of regular and continuous practice of repetition. If you want results, you should devote at least two hours daily to repetition. With attention and half an hours to the listening the Sound Currents, regularly. There is no simpler and surer method than this.

Mind is not ordinary power that will easily submit to out control. It rules the world so long as attention is confined within the nine portal of the body, it is out of control. Our control over the mind increase in juxtaposition to the widrawal of the current from the extremities of the body toward the eye center. when the withdrawal is complete and the mind comes under control, the attention is held at the eye center and is able to take full advantage of the Sound Current by rising and riding on it.

30. You should also devote the maximum time that you can, and certainly not less than two and one half hour every day to the spiritual exercise(two hours to repetition of the holy names and one half hour to hearing the internal sound) if you do that regularly and lovingly, the situation will improve.

31. The sound is always there and it is a good thing that the BELL SOUND COMES to you pay attention to it only when it comes from the right ear or the forehead. It should be ignore when it COMES FROM THE LEFT EAR. You should attend to no sound, not even the BELL SOUND when EMANATES FROM THE LEFT.

Repetition of the Sacred Names | Eye Focus

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

25. The Confusion of MIND and BRAIN is not the result of MEDITATION - it is possible that mind goes out during repetition, and on account of worldly worries and difficulties, the mind does not sick to repetition but confuses the brain by generating external thoughts. It should be kept quiet and peaceful at the time and at least during Meditation. A disciple has to fight with his mind and bring under control by making motionless.

27. CONCENTRATES ON THE REPETITION OF THE SACRED NAMES, with the attention centered at the EYE FOCUS, and when that is complete, the struggle will be won. You need not entertain fear of any trouble, disability or death occurring during Meditation.
Yes the concentration will go on improving if you repeat the holy names lovingly and steady fastly. Short period of meditation of at least one half hour each, in addition to the usual regular periods, are helpful and you may utilize such intervals.

To practice Meditation at a time when stomach is empty and the food has been digested is decidedly better.

You need not talk to other about this path, which is new to you, until you have gained a surer footing and richer experiences. Your life your mental poise and your behavior will automatically impress others, and they will themselves wonder and inquire as to what has brought about the change.

28. MAGIC, SPIRITUALISM AND ALL SUCH PRACTICES ARE ANTAGONISTIC TO RADHA SWAMI PATH. Any one who indulges in them cannot expect to make progress in concentration and meditation. No such person can get initiation unless and until he gives up such pursuits. Also any disciple who wishes to make spiritual progress will have to sever connection with all those who practice black magic, spiritualism and like.

You should go on giving time to your Repetition and Concentration. Them no evil influence can touch you.

Concentrating Your Attention at the Eye Center | PATH OF SHABD

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 05:32:00 +0000

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

21. There is no alternative to CONCENTRATING YOUR ATTENTION AT THE EYE CENTER and then going up with the aid of SHABD or SOUND CURRENT, unless it be wandering about in various form in this phenomenal world. As long as man is tied to himself he is tied to the world. WHEN HE RISES ABOVE THE NINE DOORS OF THE BODY FREES HIMSELF FROM THE BODILY OR SENSE RELATIONS which he will do when he will completely vacate the body and concentrate all his attention at the eye center. He is freed from all ties and the world.
The PATH OF SHABD is the highest and the completest path available to humanity. All other are incomplete in comparison, and its our duty to tread the path firmly and devotedly.

22. The object of satsang is to draw attention to the weaknesses and to uplift the disciples mentally and spiritually. If the disciple does not utilize his opportunites and does not labor on the Path, he will and will come to grief. When in trouble, he will sooner or later turn in a begin his BRAJAN, fate karma, the PRALABDH, also has be gone through. But saints exercise ‘MAUJ’ unfailingly at the time of death. If before that they shower their grace upon own who is still ruled by the pleasures of the sense. So much so that the soul is held fast and cannot rise above them, he cannot profit by the Grace, and the BAYA(Mercy) is also wasted.
When a disciple, wheather initiated in sound or not hears the sound he should look upon it as mark of the Master Grace and try all the more to withdraw his consciousness so that he may hear it better.

23. Whether it is REPETITION OF THE NAME OR MEDITATION AT THE EYE CENTER or attending to the sound within, all three lead the same way and point to the same goal.

24. The SOUL and the MIND CURRENTS which are permeating every pore of the body, should be collected in the EYE CENTER by means of means of REPETITION OF THE HOLY NAMES. It involves the labor of year to vacate the entire body below the eyes and to collect the attention and hold it at the eye focus. When this is the case, the body below the eyes feels num and senseless but one is conscious within sees the light and hears the sound clearly. Before that the sound is heard but it does not pull the soul. Therefore, the primary object should be vacate the body by means of repetition, and in doing repetition you should not try to hear the sound. That would DIVIDE the attention do not strain your muscles or attention to catch the sound. The sound will come itself and will become clearer as the concentrating grows deeper.
Let all your effort be directed towards increasing the concentration. The master inside and the tries at time to catch our attention by his voice or by giving us glimpses of his Astral form. That is a sign of his Mercy and grace, for by showing himself and by talking to us, the tries to encourage us in our practice.

15. Avery important though ordinarily unknown factor we might call it x in these matters is the influence of one’s past karma and past achievement.

The suffering of good men with involve minds is not inexplicable. They have surely been very good and have done nothing in this lite to merit such suffering, but what about the past about that unknown factor? Only those who “GO IN” sufficiently can see the cause and again, our present life is already determined before we are born. All human being have necessarily to get their SPHERE OF GOOD AND BAD KARMAS for, if their karmas were all good, they would be some where on the ASTRAL PLANE and if wholly bad would be sub human.

16. My only wish is that you try to contact the Radiant Form of the Master within you, so that you may become sure by actual experience of the great truth taught by the master.

19. It is true that there is only one Giver and He gives to whomsoever he likes. THE WIND OF HEAVEN BLOWETH WHERE IT LISTETH. It is equally correct that humility is the true sign of greatness. We have a proverb that the branches of a tree laden with fruit bend low so it is with the true great.

On the one hand there is the cry BACK TO NATURE and on the other, scientific knowledge isolates nutritional factors, prepares them synthetically and make us artificial.

20. The soul is of the same essence as Nam and will enjoy real bliss only when it reaches the region of Nam and become one with Nam. You have been initiated into this mystery. It behoves you, therefore, to travel Path as far as possible for this is the only thing that really matters. But we are not to neglect our worldly duties. With a hearth full of love and faith, devote yourself to the task also discharge your worldly obligations. With this motto as your guiding principle, may the new year bring your success and happiness.

Highest Spiritual Stage of Souls Miracle | Boundary of Brahm

12. He pays attention only to the things which are necessary and reject the others. Then come a stage in his progress when he has contacted Nam within, and he enjoys the delights. In comparison with that, the worldly pleasure are uninteresting and meaningless and have no appeal for him. He uses the world but is not attracted by it.

13. Many religions take Brahm as the highest SPIRITUAL REGION and the creator of all. Their is quiry is incomplete and limited. BRAHM is not the maker of all creation. His creation and rulership extend to the SECOND STAGE ONLY, and herein also he can neither create nor destroy souls. All that he does it to keep the soul confined within his domain by putting them in Physical, astral and mental bodies, frames or cage. He thereby makes them forget their origin or home, which is in the FIFTH STAGE. Transmigration according to the law of karma is the system of his government Birth and decay, and the dualism of good and evil pleasure and pain are the order of his domain.

Through the agency of revealed books prophets and incarnations he makes himself known as the HIGHEST SPIRITUAL STAGE of development and the maker of all creation, and his law as infallible.

To compound people and to entangle them in the karmic complications, nothing beats meat eating and the use of intoxicants particularly alcohol, and nothing appeals to people faster than a show of MIRACLE. The lower the stage of the prophet, the greater the freedom allowed in the use of this things.

The work of saint is to free the SOULS, which their spiritual home of Eternal Bliss. The saints positively prohibit the use of meat and liquor, and they also discourage the performance of MIRACLE, as the is against the law of Nature, these three acts are strong barriers par excellence, which stand in the way of crossing the BOUNDARY OF BRAHM.

Material Plane the Highest of Pure Spirit

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:06:00 +0000

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

8. The message of the Master is Natural not artificial. The entire Macrocosm is within the human dody, which is therefore called the Microcosm. The only way to study Macrocosm is through the Microcosm. Th result is that the spiritual journey from the material plane the highest of PURE SPIRIT lies within the human body. It begin from toes of the feet and end at the top of head.

The journey is divided into two parts: the first part is from the feet to the eye center. It consists of concentrating the mind and making the attention currents are withdraw from the entire lower portion of the body into the eye center. The second part is from the eye center to the top of the head. Here the concentrated soul is able to catch the sound current which descends from the top of the head to the eye center. The soul is gradually lifted up from the eye center to the top of the head by means of the SOUND CURRENT.

We pass through five vast plane in the course of this journey. The sound current is one and the same, but in passing through the different regions it assumes different aspects. The Method of the Sound Current is complete while all other courses such as Pranayam, Mudra, etc., are incomplete.

If during our lifetime, we travel the Path which we have to traverse after death, the death loses its terror for us. It is the object and goal of human life to take the soul to the region whenc it originally descended. Thus, the soul is liberated from the cycle of birth and deaths.

9. As you proceed with your MEDITATION you will fell peace and bliss, but it should b a lasting and not a momentary feeling. This will come when you have practiced and devote considerable time to the sound current, sankaras, i.e impression of past lives, enable some people to hear the sound easily, but to hear alone is not enough. You must be one with it your love for the Master and the repetition of the Holy Names enables you to do this.

Nothing should stand in the way of the meditation and no disciple should plunge so deep into worldly affairs as to enable them to interfer with his brajan or after his mental poise.

10. Increase the concntration of your mind, and take your soul to the portal which open into the ASTRAL PLANE, after vacating the entire body. The masters astral form can b contacted at this gata he will talk to you and reply to all your question.

11. The creator Himself is within us, including all that he has created in the material, mental and spiritual regions. As the spiritual drawn up higher and higher, things will be clearer, and the how and why of things also will become intelligible. This world is only a projection of the mental world. And whoever has studied and explored the Mental world, automatically knows the world too, infinitely better.

Such thing are usual with one who goes in but the knowledge or information should not be given out. It is seldom valued properly by others, and you really suffer a loss. Silence is a great virtue.

Repetition of the Holy Names | Eye Focus

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Tue, 09 Aug 2016 12:10:00 +0000

5. Man is the top of all creation, the perfect handiwork of Nature in all respects. He contains within himself the key to unlock the Mystery of the Universe and to control the creator.

Having come up to the top of the evolutionary ladder, he should now step onto the Ladder of NAM and tread the spiritual path that will untimately lead him to the DIVINE HOME whence he come, if he fails to do so, he slide down and according to his karmas, his desires inclination, he will have to sojourn in this world of change.

In the humand body, the EYE CENTER is the spot which represent the end of one course and the beginning of the other.

6. The first step toward spiritual practice is to undrstand the object of hearing the shabd. The function of shab is to lift the soul upward and inward, to the higher planes. But shabd is unable to lift the soul so long as it is not withdrawn from the entire body and collect in the eye focus. Just as a fine piece of cloth, with entangled in a thorny bust, is torn shreds if one tries to pull it up forcibly, without first disengaging it from each thorn, similarly the SHABD would not lift the soul up so long as it is permeatin every pore of the body, though the sound may be audible.

Therfore, the first step is to withdraw the attention currents from the body up to the point where the sound can lift it this is brought about by concentration of the attention in the eye center, which is possible only when the mind become motionless. There are various methods for making the mind motionless and collecting the attention currents in the eye. But the simplest and the easiest of them all is the REPETITION OF THE HOLY NAMES prescribed by the saints while the attention is fixed between the eye. In fact it is the mind that does the repeating.

It is not an easy matter to bring the mind under control and make it tranquil and motionless. it requires year of patient labor. When concentration is complete and the soul current have been withdrawn up to the eye center, the attention should be kept up there with the help of DHYAN, which is contemplation of the radiant form of the master.

7. The attention currents should be collected into the EYE FOCUS. The attention should be fixed at the place between and above the eye, where one ordinarily keeps the attention when thinking. The bell sound does not lift the soul until the attention currents from the entire body have been collected in the EYE FOCUS.

Spiritual Speaking Human Body Divided Into Two Parts

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 11:47:00 +0000

1. The enchanting figure is no longer before our eyes. But the master never dies. His radiant Shabd form is within every one of us. He is functioning from the higher planes and is helping his disciples.

2. Spiritual Speaking, the human body may be divided into two parts. One part is from the sole of the feet to the eyes and the other is from the eyes up to the top of the head. The lower part, including the yes, is meant to function in this material world. This is known to common man. But not known to most people is that the upper part is meant to connect the soul and the mind with higher region.
This connection begin at the eye center, after the soul and the mind have vacated the portion by means of repetition, with the attention is to accomplish this. Repetation is not the end in itself, but is the means to an end. The repetation of the five holy names take the mind and the soul to point has been gained, the sound current lifts the soul towards the top of the head, in order to establish connection with the higher planes.

3. Soul is of the Essence of Nam and naturally feel a strong attraction toward its source of origin.
It can be stilled only by drowing the attention inward and upward by means of simram , which collect all the attention current at the eye center. When this course is complete, one is able to contact the shabd. One can hear it earlier also. The Mind find the Shabd so attractive and delightful that it does not crav other pleasure. One should reason with hiself away from outward pleasures as far as possible. You cannot go out and go in at the same time.
Other problems should also be attended to in the spirit of duty, and solve in the light of Personal knowledge and experience and the advice of friends.
Faith and love make things easy, especially when they are supported by regular MEDITATION.

EXCERPTS FROM DISCOURSE part 2

14. Our Sojourn in this world is an equally short and temporary one, and we also need to build only temporary conection. We are not to stay here forever. One day we have to leave family, friend and possesions. Even our own body will remain behind little do we know on what day the angels of death will summon us. “there have been countless mighty rules in this world. They use to speak of “I” and “MINE” but when they died, they took away with them not a single straw”. We must therefore, turn out back on the outside world and retire “within” to obtain deliverance from its agony and affliction.

Life is like an emptydream. There is nothing real about it. Jut a blossom does not last for long so does not life.

We pass our lives fruitlessly liek a wageless laborer, who works hard. The whole day and come home empty handed. The real aim of human life reamins unattained. Thus we loss both, this world and the next. Futile is human birth without “NAM” realization. “if a man knoweth not his self during histime. He cannot even imagine the ills that may be in store for him after death.

It behoves us all to sing the praise of the Lord. The real chanting is not with physical voice but by going “INSIDE” and contacting sweet melody. “By recitation the cannot be known; in delusion are all sects; by Guru’s grace is God realized and the tongue tasteth. The nectar of his Bliss.

The human form which our most precious gift and which we have obtained after wandering through the eighty four lac species is the top of all creation. It is wish to put it to appropriate use and rise above the domain of KAL “who knoweth not NAM, he is blind and deaf; for what doth he come into the world” There are two ladders; the ladder of EIGHTY FOUR which leads down and the ladder of NAM that leads up. The one usher us into darkness and delusion, and the other into light and refulgence we must jump from the former to the latter and hold it firmly. It is through this ladder that with devotion and love we can ascend to higher realms and ultimately return to our Eternal Home.

15. REPEATEDLY have the stressed the uniqueness of NAM without NAM the chain of birth and death does not cease “NAM” can be contacted only with the help of one who proficient in it and is indeed a true master.

The physical body performs its functions only so long as the soul resides within it. In fact everything in existense is entirely dependent upon soul for its life and activity. Form, beauty and color all owe themeselves to its spark. When the soul departs, the eartly remains possess neither value nor purpose in a fleeting moment the individual possess beyond mortal ken and becomes altogether a stranger to his near and dear ones. They hasten to consign him to fire or earth “NAM is the antidote for all ills, and all sins doth it wash away.
Death ovetakes all. Blessed are those who die daily while living; that is to say, they have learned to vacate the body during their lifetime through SURAT SHABD YOGA and to contact the Master within.

16. This supreme creator, the final cause one whithout a second, is NAM SHABD or SACK(truth) be comprehend with intellect, for intellect is limited and he is limitless. He is beyond the reach of MIND and reasoning which actually bar spiritual progress by raising senseless doubts and misgiving. No man ever achieved spiritual progress by a process of logic. “Neither by contemplation nor by intellectual discourse can we realize him.” The only way to do so is to seek a true master, and follow his instructions implicity. Once we contact NAM, we leave the PHENOMENAL WORLD with it’s pain and sorrow behind and enter into the world of Bliss. There is no substiture whatever for Nam. All other methods – recitals, penances pilgrimages – are utterly futile. They keep us comfine to the domain of duality and illusion and its ETERNAL WHEEL, In Kalyuga, Nam alone doth sustain. Save nam all else is false and vain.

Those who have found the Master, learned the secret and contacted nam “within” during their lifetime, are the one who have truly justified their existence. “In every heart abident the Lord; black is none, but worthy of worship is he. Who in himself hath made him manifest”.

The inestimable wealth is within all of us but can be gathered only after learning the technique from a Perfect Adept and practicing it with love, faith and humility. “none is poor, BHIKKA; everyone hath got rubies in his bundle. But how to open the knot he doth not know, and therefore is he a pauper.” Furtunate indeed are those who have cultiate love for “NAM” and have turned their back or the world.” All worldly people are prisoners awaiting the stroke of death; save for that rare brave, who hath his body in prison but his soul in heaven.

17. he who created the soul and the body resides within each being. He is Eternal and Unchangeable. He an realized by contacting Nam, which constantly resound at the eye focus “gather the wealth of nam which none can steal. Nor fire can burn, nor even wind can carry that wealth is never lost”. It is the only way to end pain and suffering, and earn lasting bliss.

Their end is Darkness and Despair. They make false prefenses and hold out alluring promises they constantly keep us in the mirage of wealth lust and Pleasure of Power and Position. Only to lead us head long into the valley of death. The sole escape from their clutches is through the intervention of a perfect adept. He discloses the secret of vacating the “nine doors” of the body. Concentrating the attention in the tenth – at the eye center – and contacting Nam, the Heavenly Music, hearing which we get rid of all vices and the play of passion.

A life of piety and virtue is possible only when we rise above the Nine Portals of the body. So long as we remain within their domain and influence, no matter what we do, we cannot conquer the Mind and the sense. It is a little use cleaning the utensil again and again if we put nothing into it. The pious life has a meaning only if it can achieve salvation, this can happen only if with the Grace of the Lord, we meet a living master and learn from him the technique of contacting Nam this factor determines wheather we take to the path of kal(the negative power) or that of Dayal (the Merciful Lord)

18. Mind and its ingenuity fail to point the way for its beyond Minds reach. The only way to perceive him is by resigning to his will, by obeying the HUKUM* and treading The path of Shabd. The Hukum or Shabd is within all of us and can be contacte at the Eye Focus “By hukum all forms are made, by Hukum all living being are created. By hukum is gratness achieved. By hukum are made the high and low. By hukum are pain and pleasure set down by Hukum are other made to continue in the Eternal Wheel. If one understand the hukum, he will not speak in conceit.” Nothing can happen without hukum. No one can die or be killed, even in the midst of flying bullets, unless it is so destined.

In order to perceive them, one has to lose consciousness of the outside world, become alive or Super Conscious within and contact Nam, the Heavenly Melody is continuously rever berating in the part of the body the eye we do not hear it because our attention is derected downward and outwards. We become awake when we go in at the eye center. The Sweet Melody is constantly coming there directly from the house of God.

When we lose our way in dense forest on a dark night and are without a guide, we try to listen for some wound so that we may follow it and reach a habitation. In view of the pitch darkness and the unknown place we also look for a light to enable us to reach the place. Likewise, in our Spiritual Journey, God provide Divine Light and Sound to lead us safety home from this labyrithine world. “Inside is the Flame and in flame is Sweet Melody that inspireth in us love to the true Lorn”. When we carry out the instructions prescribed by the Master with faith and loving devotion, we are so on illuminated inside and contacting Nam, Listen to the heavenly music by following which we reach its source of origin. By Practising Nam, doubts and darkness disappear and the light of a million suns shines forths.”

It is imposible to advance even an inch on the Spiritual Path without the Guide who is well versed in this science. We cannot realized him by recitals, denaces pilgrimages and charities. These have doubltless their own merit but are utterly unable to release us from the dondage of birth and death. No man can enter spiritual regions so long as his mind lingers upon things of the Outer world are concerned, and wake up within to attain the subtle ones. True liberation can come only when we learn the way from and Adept and “go within”. This is the path of all the saints.

*HUKUM – means “His Order” , “His Wil” it also means “SHABD”

EXCERPTS FROM DISCOURSE

1. In this world of boubt and delusion, of darkness. Pain and Grief, nobody ever knows the results of his action; nor does he knows his beginning or end. Wearly does he go down the scale of creation and find peace nowhere. Swami Ji says that Masters alone reveal the secret of the inaccesible Lord and it is through realizine him that hte soul gets rid of mind and matter and untold misery caused by them. Intense yearning for the lord is the primary prerequisite, for it is this that purifies and strengthens the mind so that it begin to appreciate the futility of religious observance and rituals. Through his immerse grace does one escape the cycle of birth and death. By completeng and stopping all the attention of the eye center and and stopping all the nine outlets does one gain complete control over one’s mind and sense. No longer does one depend on merely reading scripture and holy books. But attains perfect Bliss by traversing the Path within.

He throws to the winds the worldly name and fame and likewise all rites and rituals. At the altar of devotion to Nam, does he obtain real knowledge. Priceless is Nam but only real Saints knows its true worth the limitless, the Everlasting or the unfathomable is realized by end the Three Worlds only when the soul contact Shabd or Nam. This technique which converts vile sinners into Saints is known as Surat Shabd Yoga. Overflowing love for the Master and complete surrender to Him are the essential for success.

2. Only in the human form can realize God and it is only within, that he can be realized. This in turn, is only possible with the help of a perfect Adept, the main obstruction to God-realization is our own mind. It is fond of pleasures and , in running after them during countlss age it has become extremely fickle.

The soul is dominated by the mind and the latter in its turn is ruled by the sense. Thus wherever the mind goes, the soul perforce has to go with it if the mind were to cease running after the ghings of this world and become motionless, the soul would immediately fly its true Home Sat Lok. It is the mind that has tied human being to this world and, through its good and bad action keeps them treading the eternal wheel to reap their consequenses. Thus the Satsang and Discourse on Nam and Satguru are especifically directed to the mind. On listening to them it may turn away from sensual pleasure and find refuge at the eye center, from where it s upward journey begins. Then the Nam which is constantly, reverberating above this center pulls up both mind and soul. Hearing this Celestial Melody, the mind spontaneously exclaims: “Here is the bliss that i have been hankering after all this time,” it now needs nothing else and all the wordly pleasures turn insipid and tasteless, thus the only way to control the mind and end its misery is to attach it to Nam. Nam alone can restrain and satisfy the Nam. All other practices are utterly futile for even when apparently successful they not infrequently let a person down badly. These practise are like a snake in a basket. Nam is beond the Sphere of Mind. His omniscience become clear for ever.

3. God can be realized by human being alone. It is their exclusive privelege. No other creature has this gift. Even by man, this can be done only by concentrating one’s attention at the third eye focus and listening to the sound that revebetes there day and nights. This sound is called is called Nam, word or shabd. Everybody lives within the confinest of the nine apertures viz. Two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, the mount and the two lower outlets. This “door” of the body establish connection of the mind and the soul with the outer world while the Tenth “gate” that lies hidden at the eye center connects the soul with the God. So long as the mind dwells in illusion, which made up of the three gunas. The latter are robbers that steal all our treasure and make us completely forgot our true self. The three gunas are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Tamas lead completely to negative action and destrucion. Rajas binds one to the worlds through various snares and allurements, and keep him ever restless. Sattva, on the other hand, produces virtues like compassion, righteousness and devotion. Next to its the roof. None can realize God unless he transcends. The three gunas, beyond them lies the “Sehaj” state which begin in Par Brahm and end in Sat Lok. This is a state of utmost tranquillity and everlasting bliss. “Sehaj” cannot be attained in the three gunas for the three “Gunas” are in delusion. It is only met within the fourth realm and is found by the devotion of a guru. Guru Sahid Explains thus:

“He who attain “SEHAJ” attain God. Neither doth he die, nor tread the eternal wheel”

When a person reaches this Realm, he ends the Cycle of Birth ad Death and becomes the chosen of God “He who sent you, call you back; come home with the bliss of “SEHAJ (Nanak)

The way to attain this stage is by constant devotion to Nam, as revealed by a true Master, and complete surender to his will. “We are not to question why, ours is but to do and die.” Our own horizon of the vision is limited while that of the Master is boundless. The so called intellect and reasoning are powerless, the Master’s command are for the disciples lasting good.

4. In their Spiritual research all the sages and saint have come to the same conclusion; namely

a. There is one God

b. He can be realized by Human being alone, and the essential prerequisites are life of piety contentment, chastity and forgiveness.

c. Human being can find Him only within and not outside.

d. One way to find Him is to contact Shadb by completely concentrating the attention at the eye center and making the Mind Motionless.

e. This, However, happens only when God wills the soul to return to its true Home Shabd realization in the company of the Mystics is the highest of all action; but “only he attains it, O Nanak, who hath it already imprented in his destiny.”

f. then, a person seeks a perfect Adept, learns from Him the technique of retiring within and by His grace and guidance attains the Name that merge him with the Lord. “wihout Satguru one cannot have devotion, nor attachment to Nam”. If we do not adopt this course, we inevitably fall into the hands of angels of death and nothing but utter misery and pain engulf us. Nothing avails one save devotion to Nam, which is the only Reality. It therefore behoves us all to cease running outside and to remain merged in the Sound Current all the time. For in this way alone shall we obtain permanent release from continuous bondage.

The true Adept is in essence God Himself. Outwardly he has human form but inwardly he is Lord Divine.

He lives in the world but is not of the world. He is completely absorbed in the Shabd. His soul is united with God. He is an Ocean of mercy. He is the greatest benefactor of all the gift of Nam He bestows on people and takes them out of the realm of duality and relativity.

“He has turned man into a Divine Being and no time has he taken to do so.”(Granth Sahib)

5. It is the desires that create Karmas and the Karmas lead to rounds of birth and death. Saints therefore exhort us to cut at their very root and to ask for Nothing save the Lord Himself, for when one owns, the very source of the bounty there is no dearth of his gift.

“Nam is True Nectar but how can we describe it? He alone that drinketh it, knoweth it.”

6. Swami Ji further says “The Master bestowed upon me the Secret of Shabd. By concentrating my attention at the eye center. I come into contact with the sound current. Ther i behenld the Radiant form of my Master.

The Astral form of the Master is so brilliant and magnetic that the soul cannot but shed its gross matler and ultimately merge in the ocean of which it is a drop.

9. After creating human being and others in the Universe, Brahm attachmed to each soul hi agent in the shape of Mind, to confine the soul to his domain. The specific commands to the mind are, “Never let the soul go near Shabd nor reveal to it the Secret thereof.”

When the hour of destiny strikes, everyone must leave this theater of action and his eartly remains are buried or cremates. Every soul must essentially close its eye upon the scene of action and take a new birth called for by its karmas the law of karma is universal. It is the fixed and immutable law of Nature.

Matter and Mind so wholly engross the individual attention that one remain ignorant of the “Royal Road” leading Sat Lok, the “Pure Spiritual Region”. “Without Shabd the soul is blind it findeth not but fallenth into delusion again and again”.

Victory over the negative power and the complete surrender of the mind can be achieved only by contacting Nam with the help of a True Master. “Hearing the celestial melody, he breaketh the fetters of illusion and attaineth Eternal Bliss.”

10. The soul cannot ascend until the “NIRAT” or the power of seeing is devloped within. The two faculties – one of hearing and the other of seeing – are utilized by the soul for its mystic Transport some disciples devote their attention to hearing the sound but do not try fix thier “NIRAT” inside this a mistake, for unless the attention is fixed at the EYE CENTER, the mind does not become motionless, and there is little pleasure in the practice.

When the “NIRAT” or the innver vision if sully developed, the sond that seemingly emanates from within it becomes increasingly distinct. The soul, However, must catch the finest note: by means of which it will ascent to higher region. When it reaches “Daswandwar” – an important stage in his spiritual path, it will go beyond the meshes of illusion the negative powers.

11. All Saint stress the need of loving devotion to the Master for spiritual advancement. It is theis devotion that enables us to contact Nam and Listen to the Sweet Melody resounding within at the Eye Center. This alone is Guru Mat (Teaching of the Saints). All else is deception and illusion, utterly follow Man Mat (dictates of Mind and Sense) Bhakti Marg (Path of Love and Devotion) is the Royal Road Leading to our Eternal Home, and once we commence our Journey on it, no matter where we go or the stage we reach, the protecting and guiding hand of the Satguru is ever there to escort us onwards.

They are the tree inseparables in Guru Mat the patch of the Master, the essential ingredients of True Bhakti. All the rest are innovations of the trinity of God, soul and Satguru is indeed one long chain of Infinite Love. The devotee of the Lord also manifests the same love. The individual soul is the drop, the Satguru the Stream and God the Vast Ocean. Just as a drop of rain gets polluted with coarse matter during its fall on the earth, so does the soul, in its descents to the physical world obtain covering of Mind and Matter and lose its lustre. Nothing save pure love is Sach Khand, the abode of the ultimate reality. Illusion has no place there.

Man is verily a mine of the Nectar of Immortality “In thine own self is the Nectar full to the brim; but wihtout Guru thou gettest not its taste, just as the deer knoweth not its must bet keepeth wandring hither and thither in search of it. Without Shabd ever man is mad, and wasteth away his life in vain “Shabd” is the real nectar; and Guru’s devotee alone findeth it O Nanak.” It is through loving devotion to the Master that we get the Secret of Nam “In the union of the soul with Shabd is Happines, in the realization of God is Bliss.”

12. Whoever wishes to treat the path od devotion has essentially to fulfill certain condiation. He has to rise above position, prestige and social status; has to turn deaf ears to slander, criticism and ridicule and has to completely ignore calumny, taunt and censure of society. “Censure and rebuke of the world act as guards in the market of love and devotion they remove a person’s dirt and clease him.” He has to face resolutely the opposition his near and dear one’s has to shunn rituals that take his attention “OUTSIDE”, has to give up cunning and deceit as well as lust and greed “DEVOTION” is impossible fo the lustful, the ill – tempered and covetous.” “Truly brave is the person who for this purpose, is ready to give up caste and family.?

Worry can only deflect and debar Spiritual Progress.

Practice maketh a perfect. Even though he starts with misgivings, in due course, perseverance and sincere effort enable him to develop strong fervor and prety. Mere show can lead him nowhere and antidote for lack of devotion is more and more steadfast devotion. With unwavering faith in the Master, devotion unfailingly leads to realization of “NAM” – the Elixir against all suffering in the world. Swami Ji says Stress on “BHAKTI”. There is no other way to realize Him and to free the soul forever.

13. Guru Arjan Sahib present a vivid picture of the world as he sees it. Both spiritually and physically almost the whole of mankind is sick at heart and in ire distress. The five passion virtually mad. Not a man escapes from their venom. In addition to a deplorable mental and spiritual plight, physical ills take a heavy toll and make men utterly wary and worn. The young grow to old age in the vain guest for peace. The greater the indulgence, the more disased the bodies and the keener the misery and suffering. An instant of pleasant sensation, a brief delirium of power, a mad moment of passion – all end in intense pain and sorrow and yet man constantly them. He turns his back on “Nam” which alone can release him form untold privation and lead him to Eternal Bliss.

The Soul, an escape of the Supreme Being is her dominated by the mind and the latter. In turn is led by the senses with the result that the whole creation is running wild and out of control, under the impulse of one or more of the five passions. Thus the mind goes astray and it its never – ending pursuits. Find little repose or respite continually does it come to grief but if dows not seem to heed the lesson of its bittere experiences. Mind is an excellent servant but a very bad Master. The right course should have been for the soulto control the mind and the mind to guide the senses and thus reverse the grim situation where men have forgotten their high origin the purpose of their sojourn on this planet and their real destination. The more they attach themselves to the things of the world, the father they move away from their home. The only remedy lies in seeking a true adept and following the Path of Nam – an absolute “Must” for ending the rounds of birth and death.

It is the Lord’s Grace that can save an individual from its operation. The Lord is onmipotent and omniscient, and no one can question his doing he may, if he so like involve us deeply in the charms of this transitory world or make us rise above them and take to the path of the Master the “Harijans” devotees of the Lord cross this vast Ocean with his help. They concentrate at the eye center, go within and contact “Nam”, while in the Eternal Attaction. The function of Maya is the draw our attention outward and downward and that of “Nam” inward and upward.

AXIOMS OF SPIRITUALITY

AXIOMS OF SPIRITUALITY

Axiom – is a self evident tuth, requiring no demonstration; a universally accepted principle. We shall talk about axioms of Sant Mat (The Teaching of the Saint).

THE WORD IS NOT OUR TRUE HOME

All around us is matter and mind made up of the five element, earth, water, fire, air, akash(the matter of a better world, is called ether). Soul on the other hadn, is denizen of Sach Khand. An essence of the ocean of light and bliss, pure, radiant and transcendent. It is a drop of the ocean of eternal happines but, in its association with mind, for many ages, has gathered so much dross that it has completely forgotten its origin and has come to believe that this world is its real abode. Soul is tied down with mind, which in its turn is led by the five senses. It thus suffers the consequences of this unfortunate asscociation and has to go through the long chain of life and death. It is in the human form alone that it may come in contact with a perfect adept, get the sacret of Nam from hin and by devotedly practicing it, attain liberation.

It is only the human form that the soul can realize god and retrace its footsteps homeward. None other of the eight million and four hundred thousand species has this capacity. Man alone has this privilege. Even gods and angels pine for it the human body is the exit through which one can get out of the vast prison and thereby put an end to all pain and misery.

But alas! We do not give up the preasure of the sense. Our mind has become so feeble and erring that it finds itself unable to withstand the revishin sense pleasures and falls an easy prey to temptation. It perfectly realizes that the reaction of all “Bhogas” (sense enjoyment) is pain, sorrow and dejection, vet it persists in its silly pursuits. Beware! No action in this world goes without bearing fruit. Every action has its reaction the worst reaction is that of lust.

This adds up to thirty three thousand of agony for one moment of sensual pleasure only a fool would enter into such a bad bargain what fools are wel. If the result of plea man always keeps the ultimate result in mind.

In order to find a suitable remedy we must consider the nature of the mind. We know that it is fond of pleasure but it never sticks to one thing. It constantly keeps flitting from one to another. The mind is never constant the same is true of its love and attachment. It will readily give up all if we provide it with something sweeter and more absorbing than the worldly pleasure. That “something” is within us, in our own body it is resounding above and behind our eye in the form of sweet music, which the saint call Shabd, Bani, Nam, Word Anhand Shabd, Sound current or Audible Stream. When the mind hear this celestial music, all worldly pleasure become tasteless.

All these, undoubtedly, hvae some merit in them but they keep us confined to lower worlds and cannot take us beyond the sphere of action and reaction. For reaping the reward of goods deeds, we have to born again in this phnomenal world. We can get true liberation only by totally withdrawing our attention from the outside and concentrating it at the eye center as instruction by the master.

GOD REALIZATION IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT A PERFECT MARTER. He alone can show us how to vacate the nine portals of the body and enter the tenth which leads to our Eternal Home. The vdas, shuties smrities, other holy scriptures and the saint and sages of all religions stress the need for a Mystic Adept for transport into subtle realms.

Not only is it impossilb to know God without the help of a Mystic Adept, but without his protecting hand over one, it may be hazardous to make an attempt at going into subtle regions. In this path many are the temptation to lead us astray many the pit falls to drag us down. Without a guide, we are sure to lose the way and fall into a guagmire of delusion and danger. The perfer Master will show us how and where to enter the body, “the temple of the living God”. There are nine outlets which lead to the sense world but the tenth open into the spiritual region. This is called “Sushmana” gate and located in the center behind the eye, it is through this aperture that we pass beyond matter and mind to reach the Everlasting and Immortal region where the Supreme Lord. The creator of all resides, austerities and the yoga of the Audible Life Stream, the Anahat Shabd of the upanishads, the word or logo s of the Bible, can take us to the highest region which is Eternal, this yoga can be taught only by the Saint Nanak, Kabir, Dadu, Paltu, Maulana Rum, Shams – I – Tabriz, all preached and followed this law.

“Seek a Perfect Master. Learn from him the Science of Surat Shab Yoga. Attach yourself to the Voice of God, which calls within you at the eye center. Follow this Divine Melody. Like a Powerful Magnet, it will pull you up and take you to the feet of the Lord, whence these currents emanates.

YOUR OWN WORK is that of doing Simram and Bhajan (the Spiritual Exercise) which will, in due course, liberate you from vast prison in which you have been confined for counties ages. Life is short. Time is fleeting take full advantages of it and if you have not done “your own work” already, start doing it now. Seek a True Master and undr his guidance attach your soul to the “Word” and reach your True Home.

IN THE UNIVERSE IS UTTER DARKNESS

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 10:18:00 +0000

IN THE UNIVERSE IS UTTER DARKNESS

If one were to withdraw his mind from sensual pleasure and were to attach himself to the Sound Current, he would go back to Sach Khand. Then there would be no more coming and going. All this is within one’s self and whoever “Goes In” according to the instruction of a Master reaches his Home.

Seeing the world its true light, swami Ji observes that there is nothing but utter darkness and misery in this world. It is indeed a place where the blind and leading the blind. The slogan “eat, drink, and be mercy” is altogether confusing and in reality no one is happy in this wide world.

The deadly five enemies of human being viz. Lust, anger, avarice, attachment, pride or egotism perment us no rest or peace. Luzt pull us down to the animal plane. Those given to sensual pleasures severely undermine their health and repent their folies ever afterwards. Anger burns up all that is noble. It tears down and annihilates every fine quality of mind and soul. It is consuming fire born of the ries of destruction. Anger is truly the sapping and the consuming passion. Avarice binds us to material things and clouds our vision to all higher values. It ties us to baser things of earth. Pety, love and kindness gradually disappear. The greedy person has no end to his wants and desires and nothing can ever satiate him. He constantly run after a mirrage pride or egotism is a malignat kind of selfishness and is the most sturdly and masterful of the bemeful five. It has also the greatest longevity. It is the last surrender. Its fundamental assumption is its own infallibility. Thus lust degrades and hardens and petrifies; attachment seduces and procrastinates; and egotism distorts and decives.

The vegetable have one active tattwa( Element) which is water; the insect* has two viz. Air and fire; the birds have three viz. Water, air and fire; in the higher animal there are four of them viz. Earth, water, air and fire; while in man all five element viz earth, air, water, fire and ethere are active the larger the number of active element a living entity has, the higher it is in the scale of evolution, and naturally the greater is the onus involeve in killing it. Or, in other words, the karmic load that ones has to carry on killing is in direct proportion to the active element present in a living being ther fore saints enjoin a completely vegetarian dient on their followers. Besides, food of animal origin drags one down to the animal planes and bars spiritaul progress.

The human form is the only privileged one to realize the Suprem being and one gets in again after countles age spent in other forms. Yet, even here, the mind and sense overpower the soul.

Thereupon he himself began grope his way, thinking that he would reach and go out of the main gate. When, however, he actually neored the only exit, in response to an itching sensation on his head, he lifted his hand and scratched, and thus passed the exit in the meantime. Every time he neared the gat the same thing happened and he thus remained in the maze for ever. We mortals behave exactly in the same fashion, every time we get the gift of a human form instead of utilizing it for God – Realization, we turn to sensual pleasures and once gain go down into the laby rinth.

The saint exhort man to rise above the nine portals of the body and urge him to concentrate his attention at the eye center. There he can contact the sound, with the help of which he can go up. Guru Nanak says the same thing “Close the nine doors, still the wayward mind and go to the tent door. There are the Anhad Shabd resounds incessantly day and night”. Now, one may ask, why do we not hear it? Guru Nanak says that one can hear it only with the help of a perfect Master. It is the Shabd which liberates us, which supports . all creation, all regions and continents, and the sun, moon and stars. The Master directs us to withdraw our attention and to concentrate it at the eye center. Where we can contact and even tually merge in the sound current. But without a perfect Master even when we thicnk we are turning to Spiritual practice, we follow paths which are blind alleys. Neither renunciation, nor penances, nor learning, nor pilgrimages can ever bring true Bliss. These practices are like churning water, which can bring out nothing. Going within and contacting Nam, is like churning milk and producing butter.

Swami Ji says that the worldly man is indeed unfortunate, for all his attention is centered in the world. How can master take him up, and bundle of filth that he is? To Shabd he is not united. Every thought of the world and the worldly pleasure immediately pulls him down, away from the eye center.

The more one devotes himself to Shabd, the more he is purified. But if he takes to counting beads or performing austerities, little do they help him. It only develop egotisim.

Nam is not to be found in books. Even if we read all holy scriptures but do not follow the path of Surat Shabd, we are like the “withc” bird which parrot – like, imitates all sounds.

Swami Ji tells us that if we want to treads the Spiritual Path, we must learn the technique from an Adept, then go within and unite with the Shabd or the Sound Current. Gradually lose all sensation and be hold radiant light within “It is now time” says Swami Ji that you should begin to get yourself detached from the world and practise the method of Surat Shabd for there is no other way Guru Nanak also says the same thing “without shabd all is darkness inside; neither do your secure your objective nor do you cease your coming and going.”

*there are two type of insect, those which fly having air and fire as the two element iin them; and the ones that crawl, as the ant whose active element are earth and fire.

DownFall of the Soul and Hot it Can Return Home Part 2

DownFall of the Soul and Hot it Can Return Home

Saits loudly and repeatedly enjoin:

“Turn away from the path of sensual pleasures. God is within your body. Seek the true Master and learn from him the way to go in Raise your consciousness above the nine portals and attach yourself to Nam, the heavenly sound, the voice of the Lord that resounding behind your eyes. Concentrate your attention on the Akash(Sky) within, and go up from there to higer regions.

We have been turned out the “Mansion” and an iron gate has been shut again us. This can be opened only with the help of a perfect Guro. It is impossible to undertake the journey inside without a Perfect Guide – one who know all the “Ins” and “Outs” and “Ups” and “Down” of the dark passage. At every step there are obstacles and hindrances whick make difficult and dangerous for the practitioner to proceed alone.

Maulanan Rum says:

Find thou a mystic guide

For beset with dangers in this journey

Whosoever without the master

Ventureth on the perth

The “Evil Ones” lead him astray

And cast him into the well (of misery)

If over thy head the protecting hand

Of the guru thour hast not got.

Devilish doubts shall ever keep

Thee perplexed and puzzled.

“Many, wiser than thyself, tried to go on this path but satan lead all them astray.”

When good luck brings you in contact with true Master, offer all your love to Him. Give up attachment to the world and the worldly objects and discard the path of mind and sense. Take the Master with you and enter inside. He will attach you to Shabd identify yourself with it and become one with it. By and by, you will be able ti withdraw your consciousness, first up to the ankles and wrist, then to the knees and elbows, thense up to the shoulders, and so on. Do not lose heart. But be patient. In due course you will be able to concentrate your attention at the eye center enter within and give up all thoughts of the external world. You will achieve everything.

First comes the Jhoti the Celestial Flame- out of which emanates a Divine Melody. Concentrate your attention on it and, focussing your suble mind on the vision, penetrate it. Continue this practise everyday giving up love for the world and increasing it for Nam. Desire for Nam grows only by virtue of constant contact with the Master within. The company of worldy men again pulls us down company is most essential our love for the Gurus enables us to give up the path of the mind and turn within.

When the seeker follow the instruction of the Guru behold the vision of the Celestial Flame, listen to the Divine Music and merges himself in the word he has gone beyond the sphere of mind and matter. Then by constant Practise Nam, he gets true liberation and ascends to the abode of the Supreme Father.

This is not a small attainment. Whatever may be trials and tribulations, put up with them willingly for it is a sure sign that the soul is on its way up. You have found the path to the Region of Immortality, the land of truth, and placed your feet on the ladder of Nam. Climb up and come to the Realm of the Master. Climb up and come to the Realm of the master. On the way you will cross the Region of Sunn (void), the Region of Maha Sunn(the Great Void)then, the region of “J – Less – Ness” where the soul recognizes its identity with Nam, and ultimately merges in Sat – Nam – the Lord Supreme by faith fully following the directionof the Master, this however, happens only when the Supreme Lord, in his great mercy, awakens in us love for himself because of which we begin our search and meet an adept who is in touch with, Him, get the Secret of Nam and carry out daily the prescribed course (exercises) under his inspiring guidance. Once we get attached to Nam, we have nothing to worry about, for the watches over us as does a mother over her infant babe. Such opportunities do not come every day. Fortunate, indeed, are we to be incarnated in a human body. We should, therefore, get in touch with someone acquainted with nam and on, learning the technique from him, contact Nam.

When the Lord, is His Mercy and grace wants to take us unto Himself, He does so by importing the Secret of Nam, the word, through a Master. We develop Spiritually in the lap of the Mster within, and the word protects us.

“Make thou frien with “Gurmukh”

And be devoted to “Satguru”

Thus cut asunder the chain of birth and death.

Then shalt thou attain Eternal Bliss”.

(Adi Granth)

DownFall of the Soul and Hot it Can Return Home Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:14:00 +0000

DownFall of the Soul and Hot it Can Return Home

Our soul is in Essence, a drop from the Great Ocean of Sat Nam – The True Eternal, Inconceivable Lord without beginning and without end, the creator of all. He is the source of all Bliss, Energy and life.

After departing from the source, SAT NAM, the soul of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE descended first into the domain of the mind. Then they were confined in the prison house of the world through the bondage of their desires. They lost awareness of their SIRE, SAT NAME, and forgot their DIVINE ORIGIN.

The soul was then submerged in duality which resulted in its encasement in a think, hard shell shell of egotisim. So its lights become clouded by mental aberrations and desires. Treading the path of mind, it strayed further and further away from the path of NAM till at last, all its light and glory got toatally masked. It even forgot that it was “soul” immortal and everlasting and began to identify itself with its various covering with which it had enveloped itself during its descent.

It began to call itself “Body”. First, it took on the causal body, after descending to the causal region when it come down to the Astral Region. Which is the world of potent illusion. It was covered with the astral body. And when it dropped down to the phenomenal world, it was covered with the astral body and when it dropped down to the Phenomenal World, it was covered with the Physical doby, additiona to all the previous coverings. The lower the soul sank the dimmer grew its light.

Consequently, whatever we do in this world our action are like those of a blind man groping in the dark. The darkness and ignorance result in confused thinking which in its turn, bring sorrow and suffering. The mind is weak and earning, and is the victim knot with the mind, it has also to under go the suffering of the latter.

You will find that in all the bodies and in all the species the soul has indeed a hard lot to face Misery and pain sorround it whatever it goes. To what a sad plight the association w/ the mind and senses has brought it!

The above aptly illustrates the position of the soul. It runs after the pleasures of the sense and has become a slave to lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride. The mind and the soul have become so tightly knottled together that the soul has to suffer the consequences of the mind’s actions. It keeps moving from one specie to another, each one worse than the former the only exit from this prison was the human form, of which it did not avail itself. the porpose of the SUPREME BEING in bleesing the soul with the most valuable gift of a human body was to afford it an opportunity of release from this vast prison house by devotion to God.

Nature is not extravagant. If the soul does not make proper use of its vehicle, it is consigned to the place where it can satisfy its desies and craving. The result is that the soul descent lower and lower till ultimately it sinks to the lowest hell. Man stand at the higest rung of the evolutionary ladder. By carrying out the instruction of a perfect Master, he can gain the rooftop his real Home in SAT LOK. He follow, however, the dictates of mind and senses, and suffers the consequenses thereof by falling down in the scale of evolution. It may take him countless ages to be born again in the human form.

This continuous chain of action and reaction would never have come to an end, had not the SUPREME LORD taken great pity on us in our extreme distress and misfortune. Seeing the soul, his beloved child, in such a sad plight, that ocean of mercy and compassion surged in swelling tided and assuming the human form, come to the world to save us.

Further he says:

”Sit silently in quiet corner and listen to the five notes that constantly arise from withine thee”.

“Oh, hust thee and listen thou to the five Melodies coming from heaven”.

God has to assume the human form for our sake becoause only human being can teach a human being. Gods and angel we cannot see, animal and beasts are without understanding or the faculty of speech. When the Great Lord wishes to impart Gyan (knowlege about Himself) to us, He always comes in any other form, we would not have understood His languages.

All the Saints have expressed similar sentiments.

Maulana Rum Says:

“This world is a prison and we are all prisoner in it. Break through the roof of thy cell and released thy self”

Our soul is “Maha Chetan” (Superconsious Energy) a drop from the ocean of Spirituality, life and energy. It is pure Spirit. Yet in its association with mind and matter it has gathered all the dross, which is the cause of recurring woe and misery.

The soul is in search of peace and happiness it tries to find it sometimes in one thing and sometimes in another. But where can it find peace in this phenomenal world, where none is happy? Everyone has his own tale of woe to narrate.

Having reach the top of evolutionary ladder, you should now contact Nam and tread the Spiritual Path to your divine home. If you fail to do so and slide down, you will have to sojourn in this world of changes and go the various form of creation.

Swami Ji Says:

“This valuable body you got

After roaming in millions of lower lives

Now do not lose it in vain pursuits

Take heed! Give your attention to Devotion

Have Pity on your poor soul and

Save it from transmigration’s wheel

These pleasures and comforts are fo four days

After That a long period of sorrow awaits

Beware! Save yourself from hellfire; Do not make souls its fuel.”

Nam | the Name or Word | Miraculous and Supernatural Power

noreply@blogger.com (Khellog) — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:26:00 +0000

Nam (the Name or Word) what It is and What it is not

Naturally, the question arises in every seeker mind, as to what the Nam is? It is any word, syllable or sound? What is it that is given such Sumprem importance by the sages and Saints as to be called sufferion to God and Rama both? Clearly, it cannot be a word or a collection of words. Words and syllables cannot creat universes or give life to dead matter Guru Nanak says that Nam is neither spoken by the tongue nor seen with the eyes nor heard with the ears:

“seeing without eyes, hearing whithou ears walking wihtout feet, working without hand by reealizing His order Oh Nanak such are United with the Lord”

Our order (Hukum), is the word, the Logos the Name. One may doubt how sound create and maintain the universe. This is not the subject of intellect or reasoning. Reasoning take us only to a certain point beyond that we have to take the help of ANUBHAY(intuition) and fill we have developed that mental insight, the power of comprehension without reasoning we have to depend upon the intuition and inner experiences of those who have gone within and have seen with their own eyes.

Real name is SHAB SWAMI JI says:

“nam is the support and sustenanse of all. The wonderful treasure of Nam is in the heart of the Saints. The more zealous take yog(sacrifices) tap (austerities and Dan(Charites), or ASHTANG YOGA. But they miss the essential point. The methods and way of attaining God realization are therefore not the same in every age, all actions and practices, a part from Nam are like sowing seed out of season.

The law of past yugas are not applicable to the present age. What is the law of present age Guru Nanak Says:

In kalyug, kirtan( THE SONG OF PRACTISE OF SHABD) is supreme.

Swami Ji Says:

“Except for shabd, there is no other way to get out of this cage of the body.

This shabd practice can be learned only from a perfect master.

Saints says that nam is of two kinds, VARNAT MAK and DHUNYATMAK. Varnatmak Nam is the which can be spoken and written, as the language of the world.

It is four kinds:

a. Baikhri(Oral) – that which spoken with Tongue and lips.

b. Modhama(silent) – that which is repeated silently in the throat.

c. Pashyanti – that which is meditated mentally in the heart.

d. Para – the current of wave which the yogis raise from the navel.

People throughout the whole world make use of VARNATMAK NAM. There are many such name and they differ with different people, reaces and countries. Religious book and scripture are full of them. These names, cannot liberate the soul from bondage. The name that does so is common to all. The latter recognizes no caste, creed, color, race or notion. It resounds in every human being. It is not the design of any man it is natural, without beginning or end, and was created by God Himself. Before th creation of the word. It was it is called DHUNYATMAK NAM.

DHUNYATMAK NAM has nothing to do with the physical body. It can neither be spoken, written or seen, nor can it be perceived by othe rsense. Only the soul can comprehend it iand that too when a perfect Master shows us how to attach our soul to it.

The difference between the two VARNATMAK and DHUNYATMAK NAM, can be appreciated only when by the Grace of the perfect Master, one goes within and concentrates his attention at the center where the DHUNYATMAK NAM, the celestial Sound the voice of God the word resounds. Then it will be clear that one is the spoken word and the other is the Nam itself. VARNATMAK NAM is necessary for purifying the mind when the gross impurities are removed. The mind and the soul begin to relish the sweet taste the subtle impurities are removed stage by stage VARHATMAK NAM is the means while DHUNYATMAK NAM is the end and the object.

True Nam cannot be realized below the eyes. One attention has to be withdrawn from the pinda, in other words, it has to quit the nine portals of the body (two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mounth and two lower appertures) before one is able to attain Nam. This is called “DYING BEFORE DEATH” by the Mohammedan Saints and what is what st. Paul meant when he said “I dai daily”. When the soul, leaving the none portal, enter the tenth gate during life, it hear the heavenly sound (the Nam) which is resounding behind the eyes in the Tisra Til, the voice of God beckon us ther all the time but we do not hear Him until our attention is concentrated at the proper center. As soon as one concentrates attetion in any othe language. It is the language of God, which each and every one can understand.

Guru Nanak Says:

“Close the nine doors and stop they mind from wondering Enter thou the tenth that leads thee to the Eternal Home ther the sweet melody resound day and night. Attain thou this with guidance of a Guru.”

Maulana Rum Says:

“Shut thine eyes, ears and lips, If then thou find not hte Secret of God, scoff at me.”

Guru Nanak Says:

“High above in the Lord Mansion (our body) Ringenth the transcendent music. But, alas, the unlucky hear Him not; they are in deep slumber.”

The treasure of Nam is within us, but the key to it is in the hand of the Guru. BRAHMAND and SACH KHAND are within, but none can reach there without the Master help two things are essential;

1. The perfect Master, and full faith in Him and

2. Hard and earnest effort on the part of the disiple to practise Nam.

Like all others wealth, one gets this wealth also a result of hard labor. It demand a great sacrifice. You cannot get it by mere talking Saints enjoin;

“Live thou in the world, but be not of the world, do thy duty towards thy family and others; carry on thy profession yet do not fail to attend regularly to God’s devotion. Give at least three hours daily to meditation”

The unique qality in human life, which is not present in other form is the capacity for God realization and permanent release from the prison house of Chaurasi.

They love all being including the birds and the beasts. Just washerman does not refuse to wash any clothes, howsoever greasy and dirty they may be, knowing that if not the first, the second washing will doubtless cleanse them, so also saint do not turn away eventhe vilest of sinners but willingly take them under their protection.

The sage who is not a practitioner of SHABD is not a perfect Master. The latter takes the disciple right up to the fifth stage within. He gives us the Names of these five region and describes in detail the lights. Sounds, music and other attributes. Thus a saint takes his disciple through SAHANSRAR and BRAHM, is not subject to dissolution and change.

The first essential worth imbibing is that the object of Nam is and should be only God realization and retun to our original Home. Nam should not be misused for either earning wealth or gaining worldly fame. People often run after supernatural power and cannot resists the temptation of using them when they acuire them. Sidhis¹ and Shaktis² automatically come to disciple, but he should pay no heed to them, because these are the devices of KAL (negative power) to keep the soul within his domain.

This body is a veritable mine of everything precious and occult. But a true seeker is enjoined to steadfastly pursue the task of union with the Lord, avoiding the pitfalls and temptations that besets this path.

The second essential to remember is that so long as the seeker does not attach himself to NAM(the Audible Life Stream), he remain subject to egotism (I – Ness) and the consequent misery and bondage. Even good actions like Charities, Sacrifices, Auterities etch., cannot take him out of the cycle of transmigration.

It is the choice of the seeker whether to remain confined within the nine sense apertures, or to seek guidance from an Adept in raising his consiousness above them and connectiong it with the sound current (Nam) which alone can take him out of this prison. This however, requires concerted and sustained effort in the practice of Nam. If only we were to give as much time to our spiritual practise as we do to worldly pursuits, we doubtless attain liberation.

The tragedy is that we don not run away from sensual pleasures, nor are we afraid of aftedning him even though we are told daily of the presence of nam, the supreme being within us. We would not dare commit an evil act in the presence of a small child, yet what wicked sins do we not perpetrate in his Omnipresens? Evindently, we do not fear God as much as we do even child. Unless the mind develops awe for the Lord, success can hardly be expected. Love and fear go hand in hand, and both are essential prerequisites to a lasting attachment.
