Above is a truthful statement of the one who experienced that state of mind, should we just chant Lord’s Name or do some thing first to deal with the trash society has loaded on us and soul is buried deep down?

Pk70 ji and Namjap ji,

Please "makhi te makhi na maro". Give justice to the Bani. Please ponder on the meanings of Bani once again.


Mantras are chanted(No emotions but concentration on purity of words) Shabads are recited (emotions / bhavna is present here)

Here the use of the word shabad refers to bani as one would hear bani with ones ears

Amriteh is bani that by listening liberates one. i.e. amar kar dene wali bani.


If you want just to please and admire each other then you are unlikely to learn or understand Gurus message.

kind regards

I understand by the above-mentioned vaak that with the tongue we sing or recite the name of the Lord which are million names but Sikhs choose to say Vaheguru or Satnam or whole of mool-mantar. At the same time we also put our attention on listening of the Inner Sound Current - this is not a physical or biological sound and different from what RSSB claim is the sound current.

Yes ekmusafir Ji,

we should not try to out do each other by quoting gurbani which is not backed by actual experience. So shall we now get involved in satsang here and discuss the modus operandi of the real sound current. Personal experiences have to be shared and no one needs to offend anyone intentionally for bringing out those experience which are precious to one's self only.

Re: Continuous Repetition of Waheguru

NamJapji;
you always post such helpful things. I was away for a couple of weeks, with limited internet and your articles were the first thing I would read. I know it is ideal to do nam jap during amritvela, and of course other times, is it wrong to do it at the airport or during a plane flight?

Re: Continuous Repetition of Waheguru

All praises to God. In a conversation on the paradox of existence, I asked - what proof is there that we exist ? Ever seen how robots and computers talk with each other ? What we see from their outer form is completely misleading because the genius at work is a proto-type of the creator.

We are just a robot following a programmed path thru which we also exhibit to feel wonder and mystery during our journey. When this biological robot is ripped apart - spirit to spirit and dust to dust takes place. Nothing dies, guru vaak as follows :-

ਦੇਹੀ ਮਾਟੀ ਬੋਲੈ ਪਉਣੁ ॥
देही माटी बोलै पउणु ॥

Ḏėhī mātī bolai pa­uṇ.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20247
The body is dust; the wind speaks through it.
ਮਃ 1 - view Shabad/Paurhi/Salok


ਇਆ ਦੇਹੀ ਪਰਮਲ ਮਹਕੰਦਾ ॥
इआ देही परमल महकंदा ॥

I­ā ḏėhī parmal mahkanḏā.
People anoint their bodies with fragrant oils,
ਭਗਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ - view Shabad/Paurhi/Salok

Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20247

Gyani Ji and Future Kaur Ji,

If we take an example of metal as soul and impurities of the mind as impurities existing in metal, it is very likely that a metal with impurities will be put aside and not merged with molten pure metal. It will be used to create cast iron transformed into various other forms. Re-incarnated again.

When our present journey ends, the creator will merge us with Him if we are void of the impurities of the mind.

My two cents.

Namjap ji,

Firstly, I have no intention to out do anyone as you have felt. What I said was for your benefit so that you would take a deeper interest in understanding Gurbani. There is no compitition here Namjap ji and if there is, then I do not want to be part of it. Secondly, what kind of certification are you seeking that would be approved by you to confirm one has had the actual experience.

As far as personal experiences are concerned, one needs to rise above the ridhi-sidhi level to understand and appreciate them. People generally settle down at this level under the illusion that they have become spiritually elevated. If you wish to limit your understanding to the level of Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa then I wish you good luck.

Gyani Jarnail Singh ji,

I am rather surprised that you take my comments as discouraging. If one is being guided to dwell deeper to understand Gurbani, Which is something one would expect as contributionfrom knowledgeable people like yourself, is that considered negative or discouraging.

Kind Regards

ekmusafir_ajnabi

The wonderful thing about the practice of the Divine Name is that there are no stringent regulations regarding its chanting — it can be handled by anyone at any time and at any place. If done with love, sincere feeling, determination and intense concentration, it removes the inner "filth" (egoism, ignorance, illusion, conditioning, Maya, etc.) enabling one to see All-pervading Truth within.
