Me neech tells me that Guru Arjan Dev included this particular shabad of Bhat Kall in the Granth Sahib to teach what "yoga" means in shabad guru. Guru Arjan Dev ji practices yoga in the midst of wealth and power. Strange image - he must be always in a state of jog to do this, to practice yoga amidst all the distractions of his life. Kall must [I]not[/I] be speaking of asanas, or practices in ashrams. Kall must be speaking of raj yoga as a sublime mental state. Kall even states that the Shabad is [I]like the Lord,[/I] and is compassionate and the destroyer of egotism. And later Kall explains for us what to do. When we are attached to har naam, we save ourselves and the world is saved. Therefore, [I]enshrine the satgur within your heart.[/I] That way to raj yoga, as I understand this shabad, is through the ShabadGuru. [/QUOTE]
