<blockquote data-quote="Harjas Kaur Khalsa" data-source="post: 78859" data-attributes="member: 2125"><p><strong>Re: What is Dasam Duaar ?</strong></p><p></p><p>"What is the dasam duaar?" Prt 2</p><p></p><p></p><p>Now at this point, the Gurbani is talking about something specific, amrita or nectar which was anciently also known as soma. This is not the amrit of Khande ki Pahul. This is not the amrit of Naam Vaheguru Gurmantara. This is the nectar which trickles down from the opening in the roof of the mouth which comes from the activation of the pineal and pituitary glands of the brain. It only comes after all the body chakrs have been purified and the praan cleared through them to reach upwards to the level of the sixth chakr at the third eye, and this stimulates this secretion. </p><p></p><p>This must take place so that the dasam duar can open. It is the literal "door of perception" that Aldous Huxley wrote about. It is the literal "holy grail" of all occultism and trance religion. It is the ancient secret of transcendence. But it doesn't come from ingesting psychoactive drugs like LSD, Ketamine, Ayahuasca, Peyote or anything transient and superficial like that. Those drugs can open our perception to unseen realms, but at price of causing brain damage and mental instability. The soma-amrit which trickles down is a product of the brain itself, naturally occurring through process of spiritual development, and guided by the Mastery of a Satguru. </p><p></p><p>An interesting parallel is in the discovery of aberrant breakdown metabolites of the neurotransmitter dopamine which is chemically configured very close to mescaline, the active component of peyote. This abberrant metabolite has been biochemically found as naturally occuring in a subset of the schizophrenic population. This shows that some variants of mental illness result from an imbalance in the psycho-spiritual system. It also must be pointed out why the Gurbani is talking about cooling the heat by entering into the house of the moon. </p><p></p><p>And this relates to kundalini shakti which if it enters the right nadi, unbalanced, it will go in an evil direction. That is why no one can successfully do this without a Satguru. I heard katha which told there are only 5 brahmgyanis alive in the world at any time. If this is true, there are thousands of insane siddhas who are half-baked spiritually, who have powers but not purification, not balance. So this goes to show there's a tremendous amount of spiritual immaturity, corruption and danger on the spiritual path in the Kalyug. But the only boat, the only method of liberation is this one. It is impossible to be liberated without a Satguru. No human can achieve it. The Naam which Gurbani speaks about as the only boat of salvation in the kalyug, is what activates this very process of physical, mental, and spiritual enlightenment, opening, unfoldment which the many vaaks in Gurbani attest.</p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">ਸੋਮਵਾਰਿ ਸਸਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਝਰੈ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">somavaar sas anmrith jharai ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">On Monday, the Ambrosial Nectar trickles down from the moon. </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">ਚਾਖਤ ਬੇਗਿ ਸਗਲ ਬਿਖ ਹਰੈ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">chaakhath baeg sagal bikh harai ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">Tasting it, all poisons are removed in an instant. </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">ਬਾਣੀ ਰੋਕਿਆ ਰਹੈ ਦੁਆਰ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">baanee rokiaa rehai dhuaar ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">Restrained by Gurbani, the mind remains indoors; </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">ਤਉ ਮਨੁ ਮਤਵਾਰੋ ਪੀਵਨਹਾਰ ॥੨॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">tho man mathavaaro peevanehaar ||2||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">drinking in this Nectar, it is intoxicated. ||2||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DkRed">~SGGS Ji p. 344</span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਵਸੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਚੋਇ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">aap dhaeiaa kar dhaevasee guramukh anmrith choe ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">In His Kindness, He blesses the Gurmukh with it; the Ambrosial Nectar of this Amrit trickles down. </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">ਸਭੁ ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਹਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਸੋਇ ॥੪॥੫॥੬੯॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">sabh than man hariaa hoeiaa naanak har vasiaa man soe ||4||5||69||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">Then, the body and mind totally blossom forth and flourish; O Nanak, the Lord comes to dwell within the mind. ||4||5||69||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Blue">~SGGS Ji p. 41</span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">ਧੀਰਜੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਿਤ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਵੈ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">dhheeraj dhharam guramath har paaeiaa nith har naamai har sio chith laavai ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">Through the Guru's Teachings, I have obtained courage, faith and the Lord.

It is an energy imprint that we attune our whole bdoy consciousness to. The tongue forms a mudra to block the throat/nasal passages so the nectar doesn't escape, and the tongue tastes the nectar. This practice is called kechari mudra. It is very clearly being described in Gurbani in several places as well as allusions to the amrit trickling down, tasting the nectar with tongue. </p><p></p><p>Additionally vaaran of Bhai Gurdas Ji expressly describes the various mudra including kechari mudra even in context of a Gurmukh. The purpose of the stimulation of the pineal and pituitary glands by stimulating nerve centers in the mouth with the tongue by proper intonation and chanting of Gurmantara combined with proper breathing drawing up the praan through subtle nadis which facillitates the brain stimulation opens the door of consciousness to expand beyond the limitations of the physical senses. </p><p></p><p>This is the process by which the consciousness is liberated from the confines of the brain and can perceive the subtle realities. This is the way a person becomes a brahmgyani and jeevan mukta in every Indic tradition including Buddhism. This is how Gautama Buddha was dexcribed as becoming enlightened for example. It's an ancient tradtion, not at all new to Sikhism. What is new to Sikhism is Guruji describes this process as coming about with sehaj, by Guru's grace, not by self-effort or by force. </p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਹੋਹਿ ਜਬ ਰਾਖੇ ਕਮਲੁ ਬਿਗਸੈ ਮਧੁ ਆਸ੍ਰਮਾਈ ॥੨॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">jap thap sanjam hohi jab raakhae kamal bigasai madhh aasramaaee ||2||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">When chanting, austere meditation and self-discipline become your protectors, then the lotus blossoms forth, and the honey trickles out. ||2|| </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">ਬੀਸ ਸਪਤਾਹਰੋ ਬਾਸਰੋ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹੈ ਤੀਨਿ ਖੋੜਾ ਨਿਤ ਕਾਲੁ ਸਾਰੈ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">bees sapathaaharo baasaro sangrehai theen khorraa nith kaal saarai ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">Bring the twenty-seven elements of the body under your control, and throughout the three stages of life, remember death. </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">ਦਸ ਅਠਾਰ ਮੈ ਅਪਰੰਪਰੋ ਚੀਨੈ ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਇਵ ਏਕੁ ਤਾਰੈ ॥੩॥੨੬॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">dhas athaar mai aparanparo cheenai kehai naanak eiv eaek thaarai ||3||26||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: DarkRed">See the Infinite Lord in the ten directions, and in all the variety of nature.

This is how the praan moves from sixth chakr to open the 7th, how the nine gates are closed to open the tenth, dasam duar corresponds to the sahasrara chakra (crown) and unfolds the inverted thousand petaled lotus, which symbolically represents unrestricted Divine consciousness. The ire nadi is located to the left of the spine, is consisted negative charge. It represents female energy, coolness and is depicted as the moon (chandra). The pingala nadi is located to the right of the spine, is positive current. It represents the opposite electrical polarity is symbolized as male, heat, and as the sun (surya). To unite these two polarities is the confluence of the three (trikuti) where the shushmana meets and is balance of the energies at level of ajna chakra, third eye (pineal gland) center of forehead. </p><p></p><p>Without balance, a person can go insane with the incomplete activation of this spiritual process. The energy would be overwhelming to an unprepared human nervous system. This is why you sometimes see spontaneous kundalini kriyas with awkward spontaneous movements, strange vocalizations, intense laughing or crying for no apparent reason, and even riddh siddh powers. Sometimes the energy raised is clearing blocks in the chakrs when this happens. Sometimes the energy just gets stuck there and can't move past. </p><p></p><p>The shabad is an energized power word. And word is sound. And sound is frequency that oscillates with a certain rhythmic vibration. The shabad has the power to balance the energy centers of the human body-mind to align the consciousness with a certain energy frequency which is a healing property that oscillates in a flow with the bodies natural rhythyms and aligns the chakrs which are out of balance in most people. Just modern day living thows the whole energy balance of the body off. Our heart is regulated by a certain rhythym. Our brain waves oscillate a a certain frequency. The earth itself has a field of force which is vibration which influences the body. When we separate from the earth and live in concrete cities we disconnect from the natural rhythmic cycle. We consume foods with caffeine, we breathe polluted air, we don't have proper nutrition, we don't get proper balance of sleep. And in myriad of ways our internal chemistry, our internal biorhthyms and natural balance are altered. This affects the quality of our thought. It impacts our spiritual perception. Body is a tool. And the body can be out of balance. All of this has an effect on our spiritual jeevan. But Gurbani is medicine. Gurbani balances us and puts us back on the right path mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. This balance is necessary if you are to understand the energetic function of the tenth gate of the body and how it reconnects you to the spiritual realities beyond physical perception. It is a process of reconnecting with energetic vibration which oscillates at a Divine frequency.</p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">ਐਬ ਤਨਿ ਚਿਕੜੋ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮੀਡਕੋ ਕਮਲ ਕੀ ਸਾਰ ਨਹੀ ਮੂਲਿ ਪਾਈ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">aib than chikarro eihu man meeddako kamal kee saar nehee mool paaee ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">The defect of the body which leads to sin is the mud puddle, and this mind is the frog, which does not appreciate the lotus flower at all.</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">~SGGS Ji p. 24</span></p><p></p><p></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕਮਲ ਮਧੁ ਤਾਸੁ ਰਸਾਦੰ ਜਾਗਤ ਨਾਹੀ ਸੂਤਾ ॥੭॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">breham kamal madhh thaas rasaadhan jaagath naahee soothaa ||7||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">He enjoys the taste of the honey of God's lotus; he remains awake, and does not fall asleep. ||7|| </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">ਮਹਾ ਗੰਭੀਰ ਪਤ੍ਰ ਪਾਤਾਲਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਬ ਜੁਆਇਆ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">mehaa ganbheer pathr paathaalaa naanak sarab juaaeiaa ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">This lotus is very deep; its leaves are the nether regions, and it is connected to the whole universe. </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">ਉਪਦੇਸ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਮ ਪੁਨਹਿ ਨ ਗਰਭੰ ਬਿਖੁ ਤਜਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਆਇਆ ॥੮॥੧॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">oupadhaes guroo mam punehi n garabhan bikh thaj anmrith peeaaeiaa ||8||1||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">Under Guru's Instruction, I shall not have to enter the womb again; I have renounced the poison of corruption, and I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar. ||8||1||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy">~SGGS Ji p. 503</span></p><p></p><p></p><p>This particular tuk is very powerful because it is describing how the lotus is connected to the whole universe.

The process by which this occurs is the opening of the thousand petaled lotus of the Divine Mind, unlocking the tenth gate. This severs our bondage to materiality and physical perception.

We know Gurbani tells us Akal Purakh exists within us, but we identify with ego, and the ego dies. We die a million deaths and gain all kinds of blocks and bondages and immerse in sense identification. Only a Satguru can free us.

[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 78859, member: 2125"] [b]Re: What is Dasam Duaar ?[/b] "What is the dasam duaar?" Prt 2 Now at this point, the Gurbani is talking about something specific, amrita or nectar which was anciently also known as soma. This is not the amrit of Khande ki Pahul. This is not the amrit of Naam Vaheguru Gurmantara. This is the nectar which trickles down from the opening in the roof of the mouth which comes from the activation of the pineal and pituitary glands of the brain. It only comes after all the body chakrs have been purified and the praan cleared through them to reach upwards to the level of the sixth chakr at the third eye, and this stimulates this secretion. This must take place so that the dasam duar can open. It is the literal "door of perception" that Aldous Huxley wrote about. It is the literal "holy grail" of all occultism and trance religion. It is the ancient secret of transcendence. But it doesn't come from ingesting psychoactive drugs like LSD, Ketamine, Ayahuasca, Peyote or anything transient and superficial like that. Those drugs can open our perception to unseen realms, but at price of causing brain damage and mental instability. The soma-amrit which trickles down is a product of the brain itself, naturally occurring through process of spiritual development, and guided by the Mastery of a Satguru. An interesting parallel is in the discovery of aberrant breakdown metabolites of the neurotransmitter dopamine which is chemically configured very close to mescaline, the active component of peyote. This abberrant metabolite has been biochemically found as naturally occuring in a subset of the schizophrenic population. This shows that some variants of mental illness result from an imbalance in the psycho-spiritual system. It also must be pointed out why the Gurbani is talking about cooling the heat by entering into the house of the moon. And this relates to kundalini shakti which if it enters the right nadi, unbalanced, it will go in an evil direction. That is why no one can successfully do this without a Satguru. I heard katha which told there are only 5 brahmgyanis alive in the world at any time. If this is true, there are thousands of insane siddhas who are half-baked spiritually, who have powers but not purification, not balance. So this goes to show there's a tremendous amount of spiritual immaturity, corruption and danger on the spiritual path in the Kalyug. But the only boat, the only method of liberation is this one. It is impossible to be liberated without a Satguru. No human can achieve it. The Naam which Gurbani speaks about as the only boat of salvation in the kalyug, is what activates this very process of physical, mental, and spiritual enlightenment, opening, unfoldment which the many vaaks in Gurbani attest.

And the crown chakra, also known as the thousand petalled lotus unfolds into the higher dimensions. [INDENT][COLOR="DarkRed"]ਊਂਧ ਕਵਲੁ ਜਿਸੁ ਹੋਇ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸਾ ਤਿਨਿ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਡੀਠਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੨॥ oonadhh kaval jis hoe pragaasaa thin sarab niranjan ddeethaa jeeo ||2|| Those, whose inverted lotus of the crown chakra is illuminated, see the Immaculate Lord everywhere. ||2|| ~SGGS Ji p. 108[/COLOR][/INDENT] [INDENT][COLOR="Indigo"]ਇੜਾ ਪਿੰਗੁਲਾ ਅਉਰੁ ਸੁਖਮਨਾ ਪਉਨੈ ਬੰਧਿ ਰਹਾਉਗੋ ॥ eirraa pingulaa aour sukhamanaa pounai bandhh rehaaougo || Then, I shall no longer control the breath through the energy channels of the Ida, Pingala and Shushmanaa. ਚੰਦੁ ਸੂਰਜੁ ਦੁਇ ਸਮ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਖਉ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਜਾਉਗੋ ॥੨॥ chandh sooraj dhue sam kar raakho breham joth mil jaaougo ||2|| I look upon both the moon and the sun as the same, and I shall merge in the Light of God. ||2|| ~SGGS Ji p. 973[/COLOR][/INDENT] In yogic philosophy there is a hole in the roof of the mouth through which a secretion drips after the brain is stimulated by practice of pranayam and the dasm duar opened by power of Gurmantara which is energetic vibration, sound and light of God's own presence and reality. It is an energy imprint that we attune our whole bdoy consciousness to. The tongue forms a mudra to block the throat/nasal passages so the nectar doesn't escape, and the tongue tastes the nectar. This practice is called kechari mudra. It is very clearly being described in Gurbani in several places as well as allusions to the amrit trickling down, tasting the nectar with tongue. Additionally vaaran of Bhai Gurdas Ji expressly describes the various mudra including kechari mudra even in context of a Gurmukh. The purpose of the stimulation of the pineal and pituitary glands by stimulating nerve centers in the mouth with the tongue by proper intonation and chanting of Gurmantara combined with proper breathing drawing up the praan through subtle nadis which facillitates the brain stimulation opens the door of consciousness to expand beyond the limitations of the physical senses. This is the process by which the consciousness is liberated from the confines of the brain and can perceive the subtle realities. This is the way a person becomes a brahmgyani and jeevan mukta in every Indic tradition including Buddhism. This is how Gautama Buddha was dexcribed as becoming enlightened for example. It's an ancient tradtion, not at all new to Sikhism. What is new to Sikhism is Guruji describes this process as coming about with sehaj, by Guru's grace, not by self-effort or by force. [INDENT][COLOR="DarkRed"]ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਹੋਹਿ ਜਬ ਰਾਖੇ ਕਮਲੁ ਬਿਗਸੈ ਮਧੁ ਆਸ੍ਰਮਾਈ ॥੨॥ jap thap sanjam hohi jab raakhae kamal bigasai madhh aasramaaee ||2|| When chanting, austere meditation and self-discipline become your protectors, then the lotus blossoms forth, and the honey trickles out. ||2|| ਬੀਸ ਸਪਤਾਹਰੋ ਬਾਸਰੋ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹੈ ਤੀਨਿ ਖੋੜਾ ਨਿਤ ਕਾਲੁ ਸਾਰੈ ॥ bees sapathaaharo baasaro sangrehai theen khorraa nith kaal saarai || Bring the twenty-seven elements of the body under your control, and throughout the three stages of life, remember death. ਦਸ ਅਠਾਰ ਮੈ ਅਪਰੰਪਰੋ ਚੀਨੈ ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਇਵ ਏਕੁ ਤਾਰੈ ॥੩॥੨੬॥ dhas athaar mai aparanparo cheenai kehai naanak eiv eaek thaarai ||3||26|| See the Infinite Lord in the ten directions, and in all the variety of nature. Says Nanak, in this way, the One Lord shall carry you across. ||3||26|| ~SGGS Ji p. 23[/COLOR][/INDENT] This is the metaphysical physiological process by which the hidden gate of the site of former anterior fontanel which is closed in adults is opened on energetic level. This is how the praan moves from sixth chakr to open the 7th, how the nine gates are closed to open the tenth, dasam duar corresponds to the sahasrara chakra (crown) and unfolds the inverted thousand petaled lotus, which symbolically represents unrestricted Divine consciousness. The ire nadi is located to the left of the spine, is consisted negative charge. It represents female energy, coolness and is depicted as the moon (chandra). The pingala nadi is located to the right of the spine, is positive current. It represents the opposite electrical polarity is symbolized as male, heat, and as the sun (surya). To unite these two polarities is the confluence of the three (trikuti) where the shushmana meets and is balance of the energies at level of ajna chakra, third eye (pineal gland) center of forehead. Without balance, a person can go insane with the incomplete activation of this spiritual process. The energy would be overwhelming to an unprepared human nervous system. This is why you sometimes see spontaneous kundalini kriyas with awkward spontaneous movements, strange vocalizations, intense laughing or crying for no apparent reason, and even riddh siddh powers. Sometimes the energy raised is clearing blocks in the chakrs when this happens. Sometimes the energy just gets stuck there and can't move past. The shabad is an energized power word. And word is sound. And sound is frequency that oscillates with a certain rhythmic vibration. The shabad has the power to balance the energy centers of the human body-mind to align the consciousness with a certain energy frequency which is a healing property that oscillates in a flow with the bodies natural rhythyms and aligns the chakrs which are out of balance in most people. Just modern day living thows the whole energy balance of the body off. Our heart is regulated by a certain rhythym. Our brain waves oscillate a a certain frequency.

And the body can be out of balance. All of this has an effect on our spiritual jeevan. But Gurbani is medicine.

This balance is necessary if you are to understand the energetic function of the tenth gate of the body and how it reconnects you to the spiritual realities beyond physical perception. It is a process of reconnecting with energetic vibration which oscillates at a Divine frequency.
