[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 139744, member: 14194"] Confused ji, you really are not confused. Exceptionally well written. I thank you. Contemplation: [LIST] [*]For me it happens this way and these may be short fleeting moments or short periods of voluntary encouraged but mostly involuntary origin, [LIST] [*]Some of the chief mental operating system kernels in reasonable mode, at specific level to you as to either not distract your senses as they cannot be reduced to zero or be complementary, [LIST] [*]Kam, Karodh, Lobh, Moh and Hankar [/LIST] [*]Five senses providing complementary participation real or virtual [LIST] [*]Vision, Hearing, Touch, Smell, Taste [/LIST] [*]Litmus test for me is that you will remember such instances virtually for the rest of you life in pretty vivid detail and sometimes yearn to experience again and again [*]Examples for me, [LIST] [*]1. I must be nine year old. I am at Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar. I am sitting on the upper floor and looking down through the window at the Guru Granth Sahib ji parkash and listening to kirtan. Meanwhile with my hands I am feeling the glass and glancing over the carvings the glass protects. Nice breeze is everywhere and the marigolds smell is in the air. I feel a connection between here and now, the gurus, the karigars who did carvings and did the sang marmar that I am sitting on. [*]2. I am on my bicycle along a bicycle path going by the river. It is summer and there is not much traffic. I hear sounds of water flow, my bicycle tires rumbling on the pavement, fresh smell in the breeze and heat from the sun. I contemplate the virtual ageness of waterflow, the grains of sand and pebbles along the river bank, the wholesomeness and how little one is in relation to what surrounds us. [*]3. I am lying in bed half awake in the morning. I just have a short little bout of cough. To my amazement our Tibetan Spaniel dog comes running by the bedside. He jumps on the bed, sense me. Pushes his back against mine and lies down. I wish to God that I may never see him die and I go to sleep. [*]4. The following more or less a repeatable item for me with little concentration but I will put it in a category different from the Involuntary ones cited from 1 to 3 and call these as type V where V is for voluntary and more or less repeatable.. [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] V1. I am at computer everyone is sleeping in the house and it is pretty quiet other than the PC and furnace fans providing ambient noise. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBsGd_HJC3w&feature=player_detailpage"]YouTube - Ghum Charkhia Ghum Pathanay Khan[/url] I watch the above video and listen to it. A wonderful now deceased singer Pathanay Khan from Pakistan. I right away visualize my aunt (she was like our second mom) by the Charkha. She is spinning the charkha and the video and sounds in the above show the emotion of the moment from many years ago. While I see myself sitting on a chownki beside her making poonian and putting them in a shikoo. I have a peace and blissful visual and experience. V2. I am at my computer and watching the following videos, [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pBv7a1QWxu0"][/URL][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBv7a1QWxu0"]YouTube - salok saekh fareedh kae part 1[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOrbrFJURYM&feature=player_detailpage"]YouTube - salok saekh fareedh kae part 2[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl-u2KEvDaU&feature=player_detailpage"]YouTube - salok saekh fareedh kae part 3[/url] I read the translation (not looking for source or authenticity but admiring the effort of the poster positively) and listen and watch the background visuals. I see the environment of the day, I see Baba Farid ji uttering the Bani in a typical Punjab banjar type setting. Hundreds of years gap disappears as I feel the peace and the truths. I can get virtually similar repeatable voluntary experience many a times. So I am not sure if the above supports some discussion points in the thread. In summary, [LIST] [*]I have involuntary and generally non-repeatable moments which [U]do not necessarily create a belief[/U] . [/LIST] [LIST] [*]I also have nearly repeatable moments and experiences which do create a belief of if I do this I get this wished result of peace, connectivity, soul-to-soul connections. [/LIST] I don’t think I will through “Voluntary” get a “monkey mind” but I am on watch based on confused ji’s post mundahug(I should not assume but I did that you are a man otherwise a soul hug rather than physical :-)). Without any offence to anybody I do feel like ”monkey mind” if I ever find myself in the feverish “waheguru-waheguru” chanting scenarios or generally where I am led to attempts at creation of bliss in a crowd or arbitrary settings. Humbly submitted for consideration and perusing. Sat Sri Akal. [/QUOTE]
