sure tejwant its funny my dad actually has experienced it and he tells every1 his story and very few people believe him...actually how it is described in the guru granth sahib ji is exactly the same way my dad has experienced it....first of all it gets translated to ambrosial nectar n ambrosial means unexplainable taste when i ask my dad how it tastes he says i cant explain it sweeter than ne food or drink my dad says it comes up ur spines to ur head then trickles to ur tongue the feeling is euphoria u get fearless strength and high at the same time and money girls attachments have no effect on u...i dont have the exact quote but i remember a line where guru granth sahib ji says saint soilders angels mortal are all searching for the nectar
quotes from guru granth sahib ji
"Softly and gently, drop by drop, the Ambrosial Nectar trickles down" pg.74
"Their minds and bodies are absorbed in meditation on the Name of God; they drink in the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar" pg.81 (my dad is doing simran all day )
"In the Society of the Saints, you shall taste the treasure of the Ambrosial Nectar".Pg.91
(my dad got the nectar after meeting a saint for the first time just from his darshan my previously faithless dad had become filled with devotion did a request for his alcoholism the saint said for some people it may take a week or month but for you youll stop by tommorw because you have alot of devotion next day my dad never drank again and 3 days later my dad started feeling high but had not drank for 3 days and he asked the saint whats happening the saint said you have a 24/7 high of god ! but this is not even the nectar that came after it doesn't come continuously but when it comes its much more of an high compared to the 24/7 high my dad received it the guru granth sahib ji it says it god give his nectar to keep his sikhs in check so they dont go astray and same thing with my dad it happens every now n then but the 24/7 high stays he said hes done crack heroin but nothing compares to gods high.
"They chant the Ambrosial Name with their tongues day and night; their minds and bodies are satisfied by this Amrit."pg 118
"I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those Gurmukhs who drink in this Ambrosial Nectar. The tongue tastes the essence, and remains forever imbued with the Lord's Love, intuitively singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord"pg 119
"The Immaculate Ambrosial Nectar is obtained from the Guru. When selfishness and conceit are eradicated from within, then there is no attachment to Maya."pg 121
"the Ambrosial Nectar is found within the home of your own being"pg 598
"The treasure of the Beloved Naam is within the True Guru; in His Mercy, he pours the Ambrosial Nectar into my mouth"pg605
"O Beloved, and the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar is on their tongue"p.636
"in the Society of the Holy Saints, and be absorbed in the Lord's Name"p.643
(yes you probably need a saint or sat guru to bless you with the nectar but you may
have met true saints before but do you have the devotion for a saint which leads to the nectar and salvation
only happens with gods grace so i suggest you to ask god for the same thing guru granth sahib ji suggests you to ask is the soceity of the saints where you will swim across!
Biral ji,
Guru Fateh.
Thanks for sharing your dad's experience. I am glad that he has found the real Amrit in Gurbani after going through different landscapes and horizons of his life.
Your post indicates that Sikhi is the journey of the individual which I happen to agree with wholeheartedly. We all carry our own spiritual torches on this Sikhi Marg. It is a personal experience that can not be shared no matter how we describe it. It is Gungei di mithai that only an individual can experience.
Having said that and the way you have explained your dad's life, I am a bit puzzled about you not sharing your own experience on this Sikhi marg, yet you objected to when Gyani ji shared his.
Here is what Gyani ji said:

Naam Rass..Amrit..is the FEEL GOOD FEELING one gets when the GURBANI is APPLIED in our Daily Lives.
ACTING the TRUTH..the SATNAM by being TRUTHFUL in daily ACTIONS gives the Feel Good sweet taste..and that "taste" is NOT PHYSICAL..but of the MANN.:happysingh:
Following is your comment where you have judged him in a manner that contradicts what you explained about your dad's journey:
"you are completely wrong my friend go knee deep into the guru granth sahib and youll realize its actually physical very few people know about and fewer experience it why do u think it is translated to ambrosial nectar in english ambrosial means unexplainable taste."
1.How do you know that Gyani ji has not gone through the similar experience as your dad's?
2.Why is your dad's journey better than Gyani ji's in your opinion when it is the journey of the individual?
3.How do you know that Gyani ji has not "gone knee deep into SGGS" (your words)?
I happen to agree with Gyani ji. If I am not mistaken, you did not give yourself enough time to understand what Gyani ji said in his post and jumped to conclusions.
Please do not take me wrong, I am not trying to defend Gyani ji. He is very much capable of doing that by himself through his own Sikhi journey which he shares almost daily in this forum.
Sikhi is not only about "feel good" but "do good" and do good can not happen by parroting Gurbani no matter how often or how loudly one does it. Simran, Naam, Jap do not mean parroting Gurbani.
In Jap, Guru Nanak Dev ji says:
Gaviaey, suniaey, munn rukhiaey bhao, dukh purhar sukh ghar lae jaey.
I would like your indulgence so we can both try to understand just one verse out of many in the 1429 pages of SGGS.
No matter how many millions of times we repeat the above verse, if we do not understand the message so that we can put it into practice in our lives, then it is all in vain.
Our Gurus were visionaries. The reason they wrote Gurbani into poetic/musical form is worth exploring so that we can understand this wonderful idea. All 3 Semitic religious books The Torah, The Bible, The Quran are in the prose form. In fact the Talibans who belong to Islam forbade any kind of music because according to them music is anti Islamic teachings.
Music plays a very important part in Sikhi. In fact it is the cornerstone of Sikhi. SGGS is full of verses which encourage us to sing the praises of Ik Ong Kaar. Music makes us break our inner walls that we build within. It makes us burst out of the bubble that we dwell in. It makes us come out of our self created cocoons.Last but not the least it makes us straighten ourselves from the fetal position we spend our lives in so that we can stand up, out, and ready to embrace the world. As you may be very well aware that one can not embrace anything/anyone when one lives one's life in a fetal position.
In other words, music makes us defenseless by making us crumble the walls of our inner fortresses, so that we can become honest and truthful and begin to savour living with full of life.
Gaviaey, suniaey, munn rukhiaey bhao, dukh purhar sukh ghar lae jaey.
So, while singing the beautiful Shabad, we have found the connection and we feel good about it. Even our body starts moving along both from the inside and the outside, hence creating the Gurmat dance for each of us. Now, if we just keep on singing which is making us feel good and do not try to grasp the meaning of the Shabad then this "high" may last even much less than the "heroine high" your dad used to go through.
Then Guru Nanak says, listen to the message, grasp it, study it and understand it so that it can be practiced in our lives. This is the only way we, as Sikhs are capable of breeding goodness within which we can share with others. This is the only way we can find tools to confront all odds and be at peace with ourselves no matter how many negative forces we are in battle with. This is what Sikhi is about.
Biral ji and Twinkle ji,
Parroting may make us feel good for a little while but if does not create the springboard to do good which is the foundation of Sikhi. Only by studying, understanding and using the tools attained through Gurbani, a Sikh begins this beautiful journey.
In closing, let's savour our individual journeys on this Sikhi marg and share our experiences rather than imposing them unto others by second guessing fellow Sikhs who are also on the same path but may be at a different milestone which is only known to Ik Ong Kaar.
This is true Amrit rass. Rest is all lip service.
Regards
Tejwant Singh
