It is not us (humans) that are manufacturing terms and concepts like the tenth gate (dassam Duar), coiled kundalini, inner vision, connection to inner shabad, realms, the hearing of unstruck sound current (within you), guiding your consciousness/attention back to the mool... this is [B]all in gurbani[/B], and whilst we don;t know exactly what all this is, it is still there in Gurbani...and it inspires us, and makes us wonder...and the thirst starts to increase within to know the [B]Truth[/B]. in reality you are not disagreeing with us, you are disagreeing with Gurbani and what it portrays to us...because it is Guru JI saying all this no matter how crazy, new age, airy fairy it all sounds... Body is the GuruDwara...the shabad resonated within it...turn your attention within and attach to it, and what is within Gurbani will no longer sound airy fairy...it will be shown as being the [B]truth[/B]...living in [B]Truth[/B] and we will all stand in amazement and utter the words "Wah, Wah...Wahe...Waheguru" [/QUOTE]
