[QUOTE="Original, post: 204109, member: 14400"] Harkiran Ji - thank you ! Whilst studying Greek philosophy many many years ago I came across this famous maxim, "The Music of the Spheres" and today, you've actually laid it bare - beautiful. Sounds too good and moreover, you've nipped it in the bud, thus, "cosmic symphony". Physics defines everything in existence as either matter or engergy [E=MC²], matter being the tangible part that we can see, touch, smell, etc and energy being the intangible part that moves matter. It was Albert Einstein who summed it something like this, 'matter can be changed into energy and energy can be changed into matter, so in essence, they are the same thing in a different form'. Gur Ghar translates this in a beautiful way, that is, the human you is inseparable from the patterns of intelligence that permeates every fibre of creation. You are everywhere and nowhere. Humans are prisoners of their intellect, which mistakes the [B]shadows[/B] for [B]reality[/B]. The pure consciousness [khalsa] state, which you mention is more commonly referred to as the "unified field" [what science is searching for because at present general theory of relativity n quantum mechanics are incompatiable and cannot project true reality], that is, non-material field of intelligence. The mystics have captured the music of the spheres as a small and almost imperceptable stirrings in the human heart, which becomes stronger and louder. For each thing that the human begins to love will it begin to hear its melody within its breast[COLOR=#ff00ff] [jin prem kiya tin he prabh pi'oh, Guru Gobind][/COLOR]. The more the human loves the more will it experience a kind of inner silence, an inner peace. This inner silence - this stillness within - is the cauldron of unborn potential. It is a state say, potential to actual to eternal, the Eternal Now, the pregnant moment, the formless void, waiting for the the breath of love to sing out the song of creation, the face of God within your very heart.....the music of the spheres is you, hence the reason Gur Ghar wants you the manmukh to hear the gurmukh anhad shabd. Your experiences are beautiful and now that you have nam dhan you've exited the wheel of 84 and are an eternal being. The mystical experiences transcends time n space and cannot really be captured within any means available - they remain forever "moments". Bhagat Kabir sums it up nicely on page 340 - [B]"...no alphabet can describe the ONE for it is ineffable"[/B]. Guru Nanak conceived it beautifully as a ritrual of the union between atma and parmatma when the body is laid to rest [cremeated, the recitation of kirtan sohila].
