[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 81794, member: 5290"] [FONT=Arial Black]Ang 18 Sahaj and HIS Grace [/FONT] [B][FONT=Book Antiqua] We come across the term 'sahaj' almost on every alternate ang of Granth sahib ji.There may be some variation in the meaning of the term 'sahaj'.The sahaj that we are discussing in the thread refers to the higher spiritual state where everything that is blessed for us happens so naturally that one need not exert.It is in this state that we attain the brahmgayn and all the riddles of life and death seem to unfold itself. The term sahaj that appears on ang 18 is given below.I am reproducing the concerned lines.However, in my opinion here also the term 'sahaj' is not within the periphery of the meaning that we are discussing in the thread.Here also the meaning appears to me 'natural' or 'naturally'. But then the shade of the meaning is well within the wider context of 'sahaj' that we are discussing.The meaning can be assigned by anyone as per the understanding.I have preferred to tilt the meaning that is also assignable.in fact both the meanings are assignable depending upon the depth of reading. On the first reading it does not appear to be so but on deeper probe the meaning is closer to the 'sahaj' stage that we are discussing here. Let us look at the lines and ponder over the meaning of the lines.

The hope and desires are with in each of us on account of attachment to the worldly affairs and the relations and the bondages. Once we are without attachment we shall not have any hope nor any desire or anxiety or anguish.Indirectly we have been asked to get over the attachment to the sankalps, i.e the worldly thoughts, and practice simran and meditation. One come across the killing of hopes and desires in bani as well at more than one places and the same shall be touched upon in the relevant shabad as and when these appear in the context.[/FONT][/B] [/LIST] [B][FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=DarkOrange]HIS Grace[/COLOR] [/FONT][/B] [LIST] [*][B][FONT=Book Antiqua]It is with the help and guidance of Guru that we are able to reach the fourth stage and can get out of the karmic reactions. Needless to mention that we do not have Guru in Human format though all the Guru Sahibs were in this format but as per their edict we have to take Granth sahib ji as our Guru and all the edicts are compiled together in the Granth sahib.[/FONT][/B] [/LIST] [B][FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=DarkOrange]Recognition Of the Truth[/COLOR] [/FONT][/B] [LIST] [*][B][FONT=Book Antiqua]It is here that we attain the sahaj and that we are able to recognize the truth in ourselves.We all have some portion of the indestructible matter within us and that is the cause of our life and consciousness.Once this indestructible is lost the life is also gone.We call it soul. This is the part of the larger soul that is ageless and is not born nor can it be killed.The qualities of soul have been stated at many other places.The understanding of thus comes with the Grace of The almighty; all our sins are washed of by simran and practice of a truthful life when we start seeing all as the part of the whole and we are able to identify each and every human being as the part of the larger consciousness and that we are also the integral part of the larger consciousness.[/FONT][/B] [*][B][FONT=Book Antiqua]This recognition is obtained with HIS grace and one becomes pure and recognizes the truth.Without HIS blessings it is neither feasible nor possible.This requires a constant devotion that springs out when we have developed the fear and Love of lord.All the concepts of love and fear of God and the devotion are intermingled concepts in the sikh philosophy and the bani on macro level.[/FONT][/B] [/LIST] [B][FONT=Book Antiqua] This is per the little understanding of the things that I am bestowed with.One may differ and may kindly point point out if there is some flaw in the thought process.
