INTRODUCTION

ONE LORD SUPREME, EVER VICTORIOUS!
Anhd Sbd-dsm duAwr

There are quite a few Gurmat beliefs that do not get acceptance of
strong Faith even among Gursikhs, treading path of Gurmat, what to
talk of others. Gurbani refers to high appreciation of Anhad Shabad
many times. However many claimants of full faith in Gurbani and
Guruship of Sri Guru Granth Sahib have their minds ridden with doubts.
Acknowledged Gursikhs, lack complete Faith in Truth of Gurmat
revealed beliefs. To establish the true belief in Anhad Shabad, forms
the subject of this book. Effort is made to establish firm faith in this
salient belief in the light of Gurbani quotes.
Doubts mainly arise when Gurbani is read as intellectual exercise,

without the ensuing Gurmat forming part of daily life, in practice.
Gurbani has got to be reaffirmed as True in actual living, through rigorous
and faithful application as ordained. Short of ceaseless Naam-devotion
and singing of Divine-Praise, as service rendered to Guru, a mortal
being is not equipped to experience truth of this belief. Without the
verifying inner experience of one’s own, mere hearsay or reading cannot
lead to faith. Intellectual concept is a poor tool to experiment with
Truth of incomprehensible beliefs of Gurmat. It is this faulty approach
that accounts for poor faith.
In fact Gursikhi begins with onset of rock-like faith in Truth of Gurbani

and actual practice of Gurmat beliefs, beyond mere intellectual
comprehension. Thus is reached and experienced the high ideal of
implied Gurmat and established is true spiritual faith.

sMqn kI suix swcI swKI ] so bolih jo pyKih AwKI ]

Hearken true witness of the saints, For they speak only what is
witnessed with own eyes. Ramkali M.5 [894]
The above Gurbani quote underlines that all knowing, Saints most
high, Divine-Messengers, Gurus have revealed in Gurbani only the
personally witnessed Truth. There is no scope of any doubt. Thus a
Gursikh starts with unquestioned faith and proceeds to experience the
stated truth in his own life, as the high objective. He strives tirelessly
towards this end. The seed of true faith thus comes to flourish. The
devout Gursikhs, who are graced with success, come to realize the
play at Dasam Duar and comprehend Anhad Shabad and enjoy Bliss!
Enjoying this bliss and comprehending Truth, they reveal not their
experience. They entertain no such desire. Experiencing Ethereal music
of Anhad Shabad is a state of high spirituality, yet these Gursikhs,
bearing the unbearable, keep their own secret. Making a street show
of Anhad Shabad-Dasam Duar, the fake holies make a profession of
it. This is only a hollow boast of egotists to gain cheap popularity.
Their critics, instead of condemning their being fake, start
repudiating the very concept of Anhad Shabad. This practice
overtakes some of the believers of Gurmat. Embroiled in
condemning faking, they unconsciously negate the Gurmat belief to
the extent of losing faith in Anhad Shabad reality.
Bereft of Gurmat, non-believers, are most unlikely to experience

Dasam Duar and Divine play of Anhad Shabad. Says Gurbani:
AKI q mItih nwk pkVih Tgx kau sMswru ]1] rhwau ]

AWt syqI nwku pkVih sUJqy iqin loA ]
mgr pwCY kCu n sUJY eyhu pdmu AloA ]2]
Closing eyes, in fake meditation, a Yogi holds nose to deceive the
worldly. 1. Pause. Holding nose with two fingers, he claims to
envision all three worlds. Strange is the meditation of high claim
of envisioning all, while he sees not what lies behind him. 2.

INTRODUCTION ix
The owlish persons, staying in wilderness, are mistaken with buzz of

ears as Anhad-Shabad. They ruin their lives both here and hereafter.
These fake ones steal Gurbani quotations to run their fake business
and deceive Gursikhs. Some faithful Gursikhs, spiteful of faking
business, come to disbelieve even the Truthful quotes in Gurmat Belief.
They are under the influence of ignorance that comes to pervade their
minds in their eagerness to denounce faking. Claiming to be strong
believers in Gurbani, they disbelieve the reality of Anhad-Shabad.
Strong faith is only the complete trust in Truth of every word in Gurbani.
Gurbani serves as Lighthouse to guide the ship of lives of Gursikhs. It
does not behove to deny Truth of beliefs yet to be realized in practice.
Inability of limited human faculties should not be allowed to dim light
of Gurbani Truth. The revelation of deeply incomprehensible Divine
secrets await Grace-Divine after ordained ceaseless Naam-Devotion.
Thus alone one comes to enjoy Bliss of Anhad Shabad at Dasam-
Duar. Experience brings full awareness of Anhad-Shabad, not possible
otherwise.

PREFACE
Here comes the hat trick of translating the much sought after books
by Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji:
(a) Rangle Sajjan in July 2000
(b) Undithi Duniya in July 2001
(c) Anhad Shabad – Dasam Duar in July 2002
This is an accomplishment of teamwork on behalf of Akhand Kirtani

Jatha, Toronto. It is undertaken with loving devotion to spread the
message of Gurbani, explicated and realized in practice by Bhai Sahib
Bhai Randhir Singh Ji. The elation of his high spirituality oozes out
from the books as spiritual knowledge and guidance just as Bhai Sahib’s
personal magnetism was Naam-imbued all his life. The personal
testimony of verified Gurbani Truth is highly infatuating and enthusing
for the eager seekers treading along spiritual Gurmat path.
During my employment with Punjab Agriculture University and staying

at Model Town, Ludhiana, I had the privilege of long association with
Bhai Sahib and his close associates like Bhai Jiwan Singh Ji, Bhai
Sajjan Singh Ji, Giani Amolak Singh Ji, Bhai Atma Singh Ji, Giani
Dalip Singh ji, Giani Nahar Singh Ji and host of other Akhand Kirtan
lovers. The memory of soul lifting long sessions of Kirtan Samagams
is ever so fresh in mind. It was a miracle that Kirtan would go on for
24 to 36 hours without let up and the participants not bothered about
fatigue, thirst or hunger. Gurbani Kirtan was very much the source of
sustenance and there was yearning forever more. Instead of sign of
weariness, the faces used to glow.
This book forcefully proves how ‘human life is a chance to realize

Lord of the universe’ within our own bodies. Relevant Gurbani quotes
show the way all along starting with birth in Guru’s House, submitting
to Gurmat discipline of Naam-Bani and finally enshrining the Supreme
Lord, WAHEGURU, within, experiencing the ecstatic Ethereal Music
of Anhad Kirtan and envisioning not only Glorious WHAHEGURU

PREFACE xi
but also the panorama of His vast creation. It invites the reader to
pick up courage and take up spiritualism as the sole occupation.
Success of the experiment by genuine seeker is assured with all
precedent history.
It may appear to the readers that there is quite a bit of repetition in the
book. This is inherent characteristic of Gurbani and its explication that
forms the basis of discussion to elucidate various topics of Anhad
Shabad-Dasam Duar. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji was most
vehement and non-compromising in his Faith in Gurmat and Gurbani.
His expression carried the force of his Belief and burst out in a torrent
of words, typical of Professor Puran Singh’s writings. It is very difficult
to capture the original spirit in a translation, though the essential message
has been successfully conveyed.
I whole heatedly commend this selfless labour of love of this team of

amateur writers, headed by Bhai Jaspinder Singh. I tried to maintain
personal touch with this project but was handicapped by eyesight
problems. This does not diminish my sense of involvement and to
endorse the worth of this achievement. We all humbly request the
readers to give us feedback, so as to improve the subsequent editions.

“What Can Poor Human Puppet Do By Itself?
Only the Divine Puppeteer Manages The Puppet-Play.”
A clear conception of the following Gurshabd, explaining ‘Play’ of

All-Powerful Divine Being, leaves no room for self-conceit of puppet-
like human beings.

O’Lord! Thou are Eternal Emperor of all Thy creation. What fear
can enter the minds of those, who are rendered fearless abiding
in Thy Own sanctuary? 1. Pause. There are human beings bloating
with self-pride and some other living in utter humility; Some are
great rulers and others steeped in poverty. 1. While some are
scholarly orators, yet others ignorant fools; Some usurp everything
and some others are complete renouncers. Such is the diversity in
Thy creation. 2. What can a poor human puppet do by itself?
Only Divine Puppeteer manages the puppet-play. Whatever
costume and role is apportioned by the Master of the Show, puppet
can only perform accordingly. 3. Many are the diverse
manifestations under the care of Lord Puppeteer. His Will alone
determines the course of a life, that is final conclusion. 4. Creator
Lord only knows working of His Nature. Says Nanak, Limitless
Lord is the sole Evaluator of His Play. 5. 5. 126.

Thus Was Received Divine Commandment… xiii
It is Divine Grace that has brought about completion of this translation

of third book of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji. During proof reading
of the earlier translation ‘Undithi Duniya’, Bhai Balbir Singh Ji asked
me to take up, ‘Anhad Shabad, Dasam-Duar’ as the next project. He
told me that this book was strongly recommended for translation by
Dr Tirlochan Singh, who himself had translated autobiography of Bhai
Sahib. I felt it was indeed a Divine Commandment channeled through
Bhai Balbir Singh Ji.
Though small in size, the book is about culmination of spiritual progress

of a Gurmukh towards supreme Eternal Bliss and Oneness with
Supreme Being in complete merger even as living being. Bhai Sahib
having undergone the experience of ecstatic Bliss, revealed in Gurbani,
bursts forth in emotional torrent of his rich vocabulary in his books,
difficult to grasp what to speak of translation? All along I have been
aware of my own inadequacy for this onerous work, and I had to
involve my friends like Dr. Darshan Singh, S. Sawarn Singh and my
sons, disturbing their busy schedules. All the same Divine help has
brought forth this work to completion in fulfillment of Bhai Balbir Singh
Ji’s wish. It is a pity that it could only come after the end of his worldly
sojourn in May, 2001.
The purpose of Bhai Sahib’s books has been elucidation of Gurbani

to resolve doubts raised and clarifications sought by his own Gurmukh
companions of Akhand Gurbani Kirtan on various topics. I learnt that
before undertaking to write a book, he would seek guidance from Sri
Guru Granth Sahib through careful study of Gurbani, noting the relevant
Gurbani quotes. It has often happened that he has been able to give
his personal testimony to verification of the revealed truth. In this book
itself three such instances are quoted:
A. In Chapter 2, explicating Gurbani Sidh Gosht [965]

nwiB pvnu Gir Awsix bYsY gurmuiK Kojq qqu lhY ]
He concludes – “What more could be said? Those, who

have experienced more of the referred Play-Divine, may
15

wish to elaborate further. This is the limit of my personal

experience.”
B. In Chapter 4, interpreting Gurbani, Aasa Mahala 1 [436]

Anhdo Anhdu vwjY rux Juxkwry rwm ] …
He says, “This is not figurative narration, but a very real
experience. Loving devotee-bride, enjoying spiritual union with
Lord Husband pours out ecstatic happiness with all the being.
It is impossible to contain most amazing joy that bursts forth
in pouring of mirthful songs, Gurbani, expressing inner Joy.
This indeed is wonderful confluence of spiritual Love between
enchanting Lord Husband and a yearning devotee that ushers
in simultaneous opening of heavy doors of Dasam Duar. Heard
then is celestial Music, tinkling of Anhad Divine musical organs.
Opening of Dasam Duar perpetuates this ecstatic state day
and night, without any let up. Thus engrossed, I turned away
from all worldliness and devoted all concentration to Anhad
Shabad. Lost in blissfulness of Anhad Shabad, I came to
abide in Void, Sphere of vast expanse free of any
distracting thought. It is here that I visioned Primordial,
all Pervading Lord face to face, through Grace of Guru.
I, thus had direct experience of vision of Lord,
Incomprehensible to all angelic beings, sages and seers.
…”
C. In concluding Chapter 22, Bhai Sahib refers to Bhai Gurdas Ji’s

Kabit [291]:
sbd surq ilv lIn jl mIn giq
suKmnw sMgm huie ault pvn kY Ò
and says that it depicts truly his own experience.
In all humility, I confess that this labour of love falls short of a scholarly
translation to represent full meaning of the original, yet it is hoped that
it will provoke enough interest of the genuine Gurmukh seekers to
further study Gurmat way of life in the light of Gurbani revelation and
personal testimony of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji.

FOREWORD
(Second Edition)
The following topics had come under discussion with Bhai Sahib
Bhai Randhir Singh on various occasions to elicit Gurmat views for
clear thought.
1. Yogis believe in Anhad Shabad and Dasam Duar and Gurbani

also establishes this reality. However Soratth Rag Shabad M.5
P. [641], “Holy recitation and contemplation of vedas …,” Clearly
points out that yogis fail in God-Realization. Need is therefore
felt to delineate the differences in concept of Yogis and Gurmat.
2. Mention of ‘Dharam Khand’, ‘Gian Khand’, ‘Saram Khand’,
‘Karam Khand’ and ‘Sach Khand’ in Japji Sahib points to their
real existence or are these mere steps in progress of spirituality?
Many Sikh Scholars believe these to be the steps of spiritual
progress.
3. Hell and heaven are separate regions and real in existence or
only refer to one’s state of worldly suffering and enjoyment in
this very world?
4. Karam philosophy needs elaboration of thought. How far a mortal
enjoys independence of action? How much accountability one
owes for personal deeds? Gurbani refers to two thoughts. Firstly
that only Divine Will prevails and man is only a puppet in Divine
Hands. Second thought suggests that a mortal reaps the fruit of
his own deeds. What role has Grace Divine in mitigating the effect
of personal misdeeds?
This book deals with Anhad Shabad - Dasam Duar. Bhai Sahib started
writing it in summer of 1939, while staying with Akali Kaur Singh at
Guru Nanak Ashram, Chakaar in Kashmir and completed it during
the winter of 1939-40 at village Narangwal.
This book comprised of 21 chapters that delve in deep Gurmat thought

for an elaborate discussion of the following topics:
18
WWW.AKJ.ORG

1. When is Dasam-Duar opened?

35. Abiding automatic action of Naam recitation breath by breath.

36. Sach Khand, Region of Bliss.
37. Glimpse of Individual Soul meeting with Lord Supreme.
38. Paarjat, heavenly Tree of Amrit.
39. State of Spiritual Bliss.
40. Difference of Hathh Yog and Sahaj Yog of Gurmat.
41. True Guru.
42. Explanation of quotes from Sidh Gosht: Where does Shabad reside?
Where do Shabad and mind reside, when body is shed? Mind in
body and where does mind reside outside body?
43. Status of Satguru and Sikh.
44. Void and Flight in higher Spiritual realms.
The above listed topics have been thoroughly discussed in light of

Gurbani, to cover the entire subject of Anhad Shabad – Dasam Duar.
All the major relevant Shabads in Sri Guru Granth Sahib on the subject
have been discussed in the book. As far as I know, this is the first
book in Gurmukhi on this important subject. I hope this will remove
many doubts and prove to be helpful. Appropriate footnotes have
been given for elucidation. To underline the specialty of Gurmat Sahaj
Jog, a statement by Yogi Nitya Nand has been included as footnote
from page 136 & 141.
Bhai Sahib has revealed his own experiences as testimony of Gurbani

quotes, hinted by him at page 13. “What more can be said? Those,
who have enjoyed greater experience, may give more explanation. I
have come to my limit”. At places, I requested for some more
explanation. However, he maintained that too much liberty should not
be taken in matters spiritual. He has therefore limited himself strictly to
explanation of Gurbani.
Subject of Five regions in Jap Ji Sahib has been dealt in the book,
‘Sach Khand Darshan - Glimpse of Abode–Divine.’ It has been
established that these spheres are heavenly bodies, far off. However
Naam-Force can take one there in no time. Hell, heaven, angel of
death, Chitter-Gupt of the hereafter have been discussed in already
20
WWW.AKJ.ORG
FOREWORD xix
published book, ‘Undithi Duniya’. The happenings in ‘Unforeseen’

world of hereafter have been explained and thus shattered is the
saying, “Sweet is this world, who knows about the next?” ‘Karam
Philosophy’, a book of 500 pages fully covers the subject of individual
actions with all their implications. Topics such as, ‘How individual
actions are constituted?’, ‘A being has to reap the fruit of actions
performed.’, ‘How Grace Divine modifies effect of individual deeds?’
etc. In short, five major issues of spiritualism have been covered in the
published books. These relate to:
1. Gurmat Naam and Gurbani in books ‘Letters from Jail’, ‘Gurmat

Naam and Naam-Devotion’, ‘Gurmat Essays’, ‘Gurmat
Discretion’, ‘Bliss-Divine’, ‘What is Amrit’, ‘Efficacy of Amrit’,
‘Baba, The physician of worldly Afflicted’ and ‘Ego is opposed
to Nam’.
2. Five Khands in Japji Sahib - ‘Glimpse of Abode-Divine.’
3. Hell and Heaven, etc. -‘Undithi Duniya’.
4. Individual actions - ‘Karam Philosophy’.
5. Anhad Shabad - Dasam Duar - book in hand.
Bhai Sahib’s Books in Gurmukhi are the earliest on the five major
topics of interest to those treading spiritualism of Gurmat, in
accordance with Sikh Faith. Following three books, being published
shortly are worthy of special note:
1. Gurmat Mysteries
2. Definition of Saint
3. Gurbani Grammar
First edition of this book was published in April 1941. Second Edition
is being published through ‘Book-Fund’. Forming part of this book is
now another related book, ‘Gagan Udari’- ‘Flight in Higher Realms’.

Spared am I of searching without, Guru has graced vision
of The Lord within my own being. Ecstatic is the experience
of Sight-Divine, my enchanted mind is unable to leave
Presence–Divine. 1. Found is the Lord Most Precious
Jewel, Perfect, without a parallel. Not obtained at any
price but realized through Grace of Guru. 1. Pause.
Invisible and Incomprehensible, Lord Supreme is
comprehended meeting Saintly Guru. Unstruck Ethereal
music is now heard at Dasam-Duar, Abode–Divine and
trickles Naam–Amrit from there. 2. Gathered Naam-Amrit
is inexhaustible wealth, that has satiated all desire of
mind. Serving Guru through Naam-Devotion, unbridled
mind is perfectly stilled with Naam-Amrit. 3. Now I enjoy
natural freedom of going to and fro and mind is under
full control. Says Nanak shattered is illusion of worldliness
and Realized is Lord at His Abode-Divine. 4.3.12.

CHAPTER I
When does Dasam Duar Open?
True realization of Anhad Shabad - Dasam Duar is bestowed after

faithful acceptance of Gurmat of the House of Guru Nanak. Other
faiths and their scriptures do not even touch upon the essence of
Gurmat revealed Anhad Shabad. Experience of Anhad Shabad
therefore essentially follows through the Gurmat way of life. The
pre-requisite to control volatile mind is not possible through
methodology of other faiths. Abiding in Gurmat, after accepting tutelage
of true Guru through initiation and realizing Satguru, is gained full control
over mind. Subsequent stage reveals opening of Dasam Duar and
Anhad Shabad. Says Gurbani:

Realizing Satguru is controlled the volatile mind that comes to
abide in Abode of Self. Engrossed in Naam, Naam-recitation,
devotee becomes one with Naam. Mind comes to rest after
realizing Satguru and Dasam Duar is found. Obtained there is
nourishment of Amrit. Ceaseless Naam-Simran becomes
automatic with Naam-Force that holds balance of entire universe.
Heard there is enchanting Music of multi-organs perpetually and
also blissful Lord is realized. Thus, says Nanak, with realization
of Satguru, Volatile mind is controlled that comes to abide in
Abode of Self. 4.
Aasa M. 3 Chhant Ghar 3 [440-41]
This is the true picture of Spiritual events, experienced by Gurmukhs,

Guru–Oriented Gursikhs. The basic Truth established herein is the
29
WWW.AKJ.ORG
4 ANHAD SHABAD DASAM DUAR
control of volatile mind, made possible only through realization of

Satguru, not otherwise. Meditations and methods of concentration
are of no avail. Yogic meditations are fruitless. Refuge in Satguru and
His realization bestow this control as Grace. No human being can be
claimant as True Satguru except Guru Nanak and His successors upto
Guru Gobind Singh and present embodiment of their Spirit, Sri Guru
Granth Sahib. None was bestowed with this highest status in the past
nor shall ever be in future.
pwTu piVE Aru bydu bIcwirE invil BuAMgm swDy ] …

Reading and contemplated Holy Vedas, performed Yogic
rituals… Soratth M. 5 [641]
The foregoing full shabad thoroughly explains futility of various practices

of other faiths in controlling mind, adding only to self-conceit. The five
evils of mind and duality of mind remain unaffected. Mind pollution is
cleansed not by rituals. Ties of worldliness alone get further
strengthened. Third Nanak, Satguru Amar Das ji bears witness, that
“Realizing Satguru, volatile mind is controlled”. Not only is mind
controlled, also it comes to abide in spiritual Abode of Self. Satguru
bestows Naam, Chant of Guru, Gurmantar. High Naam-devotion leads
to spiritual union with Lord, Embodiment of Naam. Engrossment in
Nectarian Naam alone liberates mind from wayward excursions.
True Satguru alone is Efficacious to wrought this miracle with His

Divine intervention. The chant bestowed by Guru, Gurmantar, is
ceaselessly practiced. The devotee gets engrossed in flourishing
Nectarian Naam and immaculate mind comes to rest, abandonding
restless pursuits. Found then is Dasam Duar and opened with Guru’s
Grace. Realizing Dasam-Duar ushers in the following events:
1. Sustenance of Naam Amrit becomes available as spiritual food.

2. Eternal music of Ethereal Bani Kirtan tinkling of Sahaj state
enchants the devotee that engrosses mind completely in
ecstasy.

CHAPTER II
Indications of Dasam Duar Opening
A. Trickling of Amrit.
B. Hearing of unstruck Ethereal Music, Anhad.
The two indications of Dasam Duar opening are:
First is the trickling of Amrit, extremely pure. Secondly the highly elating
sound of Ethereal Music, so ecstatic, is heard. These two events of
spiritual bliss are primary indications that are known to occur, seen
and heard that naturally follow the high spiritual Sahaj attainment. These
are not mere wishful dreams. In the fort of human frame, Temple and
Abode of Self, these are true happenings, experienced in state of full
awakeness. Ceaseless Naam-Devotion leads to:

Turns around the lotus of interior body with contemplation of
Lord Supreme. Then what follows is: Trickles Amrit from the
highest Dasam-Duar. Gaurri M. 1 [153]

rejuvinates the devotee.” Gaurri M. 5 [181]

Says Kabir Ji “Trickles from my furnace at high Dasam Duar

as fuel in the furnace. 1. Rag Gaurri [328]

may be possible to deny events of outside occurance but occurance
within interior of body, closest personal experiences, can never be
denied. Strange and unfamiliar it appears to those, without personal

WWW.AKJ.ORG
experience of Amrit True, Light Divine and the consequent Bliss. This
blissfulness is limited to devotees of ceaseless Naam-Devotion. Their
bodies are rejuvinated with nourishment of Amrit, drinking deep of
this. Their inner well of body interior is brimming with Amrit. The
splendour of Light-Divine within imparts golden hue to their bodies.
The body so blessed has great appeal and attraction with a magnetic
pull over the beholders. Thus they appear beautifully enchanting.

Golden is body imbued with Naam, Naam-Divine makes it
beautifully enchanting. 18. Body is brimming with Amrit within,
bestowed through Naam contemplation. 19. Ramkali M. 3 [911]
It is possible to drink Amrit within, in interior of the body, but “obtained

through Naam-Contemplation” is the pre-requisite for occurrence of
this Divine Play. Chanting of Guru’s Chant, Naam, brings about
alchemic phenomenon of brimfulness of body with Amrit, a perpetual
occurrence. The source is the opening of Dasam Duar, responsible
for regular trickle of Amrit of most exalting taste and ecstatic. The
devout, bearing this unbearable experience of pure joy, bloat not to
make a show of shallowness. Their spirit is enjoying flourishment of
high spirituality engrossed in ecstasy of Nam. So long as, satiated with
Amrit, switch at navel is kept pressed, the enlightened spirit enjoys
untold bliss of celestial spheres, nourished with Amrit. The devotee,
enjoying this state, tastes most wonderful Amrit and listens to elating
Ethereal Music. This is a state of absolute concentration, holding all
body organs in control. Rhythm of Anhad Music holds not only body
organs under control but it is verily efficacious in holding entire universal
balance in wonderful Natural-Play-Divine. This is the force of Naam-
Amrit, Word-Divine! Its play is evident at Dasam Duar, as Naam-
Force, sustaining all life in perfect control and balance, in accordance
with Gurbani: “The Word-Divine that holds universal balance.” This
Naam- Force has the capability of perfect control over volatile mind
in the interior of body, replica of universal model. It is essential to
activate this Force to bring it into Play with Touch-stone of Naam,
32
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Indications of Dasam Duar Opening 7
Guru’s Word. It is realizing this state of Amrit-Nourishment, automatic

natural-rhythmic recitation and perfect balance of model universe within
the body, that Jingle of unstruck Ethereal Music, Anhad, multi-organ
music is heard. This is very Real! Manifestation of Anhad starts Celestial
Music and the entire region from highest Dasam Duar to navel becomes
one. This is the miraculous working of Naam-Devotion and
consequent enlightenment within, transforming mortal frame into Amrit-
Enlightenment of body with Golden Hue. Mortals, abiding in three
states of worldliness can never imagine the most ecstatic play of Anhad
Shabad-Dasam Duar. This is incomprehensible, invisible and Limitless,
Divine–spiritual–secret. All philosophical, scientific, chants and all the
Vedic-knowledge cannot go beyond the physical world. With limited
conceptual aspect, why should one delve in frivolous argumentation?
If one is a sincere and true seeker, it is open for spiritual
experimentation. However, it is far too easy to be a non-believer than
a man of faith that calls for dedicated labour of Divine-Love. The last
line of the earlier quote (Chapter 1):
“Thus speaks Nanak, Realizing Satguru controlled is volatile mind

that comes to abide in Abode of Self - Dasam Duar.” It is
authentication of the preceding lines through reaffirmation that
controlled mind abides in Abode of Self at Dasam-Duar. Mind
undergoes experiences as stated below:

This mind always dwelling in peace, delves naturally in the

Guru-oriented forsake worldly attachment, pleasures and

duality. Guru-oriented mind keeps awake in Divine–devotion.
Listening to unstruck Celestial Music, Anhad, the devotee with
ardent faith contemplates Word bestowed by Guru, Naam, and
seeks self within. Realizing self, he attains oneness with Lord,
Formless. 7. Immaculate becomes the mind at Abode of Self,
Dasam Duar, envisioning Lord everywhere. Gurmukh beings are
ever engrossed in Loving Devotion. (8.) Aasa M.1 [415]

Guru-oriented realize Lord, as their Source and their steady minds
abide in their interior. Life-breath abides in bliss on the seat of
navel and seeking Gurmukh finds the Essence. Word-Divine also
resides in interior, Abode of Self. Realized is this Light-Divine,
Effulgent Naam, the universal Sustainer. Yearning hunger for Lord
True ends afflictions and satiated is mind in seeking Eternal One.
Graced rare ones comprehend Naam-force of Ethereal Anhad,
Sustainer of all life. Says Nanak, those reciting Naam all the
time are imbued with Naam and this hue of Love-Divine is Eternal.
Ramkali M.1 Sidh Gost [945]
Practitioner of Naam Simran breath by breath, WAHEGURU, within

the interior ceaselessly as normal practice, keeps at it all the time.
Blessed is this Naam-devotee with peace eternal in inner being. Mind
is steady in Bliss. Lighted within is the lamp of Naam. This is the
enlightenment of Naam-light, Jewel of knowledge within, the source
of Liberation from worldliness.
“Bestowed by Guru is the commodity of Knowledge, Naam”. There

is no other redeeming spiritual knowledge. Knowledge of other faiths
pertains to functional names of Divine only. Liberating and enlightening
34
WWW.AKJ.ORG
knowledge comes through Gurmat.
Guru–oriented beings listen only to the singing of True Gurbani and

shun the half-baked Bani of imperfection. They delve only in True
Naam Amrit, Most Sublime, nothing else is of their interest. They
remain wide-awake in Guru-devotion of Naam-Simran, God-
remembrance. They blissfully enjoy celestial Music, Anhad Shabad.
The Gurmukhs, young spiritual swans take Naam-Nourishment and
contemplate Word-Divine. They draw their sustenance from spiritual
Jewels and pearls of Naam and Gurbani. Realizing Essence of Spirit
within, engrossed they remain in Anhad Shabad. Their minds become
immaculate through perpetual engrossment in Divine. At this stage of
spiritual awakening of Fourth state of Knowledge, Gurmukhs remain
engrossed in hearkening Anhad Shabad and in Meditation. The volatile
mind, under control of Gur-Shabad, attains absolute steadiness.
Through practice of Naam Simran, mind now comprehends The
Source, Divine-spirit. This is inner vision of Naam-enlightenment.
Naam-lamp is lighted with the bellow-like simran, breath by breath
and fricition of this touchstone within, generates spiritual spark. This
spiritual spark is the sweetest, life-giving initial nourishment of Amrit.
This has the effect of permeating through every vein of the body,
engulfing with enlightenment. Unfathomable sweet engrossment leads
to:
iehu mnu inhclu ihrdY vsIAly.. - “Abides this mind steadily

in the interior...”
No more mind wavers, abiding steadily within. Naam practice and

sprinkling of Amrit, gushing sound of continious automatic Simran,
straightens up the inverted lotus at the navel and nurses it to flourish
with nourishing panacea of Amrit. Nectarian taste of Amrit, is without
parallel. It generates life-giving light of electrification that holds the
breath at navel under the influence of ecstatic tasting of Amrit. Thus
pressed with breath holding, navel experiences bliss of enlightenment.
Ecstasy of this experience brings about absolute concentration of mind.
Abiding in the self abode at lotus of navel, consciousness enjoys
35
WWW.AKJ.ORG
heavenly bliss that lifts the consciousness to new heights. With breath
thus pressed at navel, consciousness takes flight to unlimited heights.
Higher the flight of consciousness, greater the bliss of Ecstatic Amrit.
This is the discovery of natural consequence of Divine yearning and
bliss, contemplating Oneness of individual soul with Essence of
Supreme soul. The above is a brief explanation of the line in foregoing
Gurbani Shabad.
“Life breath abides in bliss on the seat of navel and seeking Gurmukh
finds Essence.”
What more could be said? Those, who have experienced more of

the referred Play-Divine, may wish to elaborate further. This is
the limit of my personal experience.

“Words fail to express this marvel, Only the experience can truly
satisfy.” Slok Bhagat Kabir Ji [1370]
It is not that vivid explanation of Surat-Shabad Gurmat explanation is

withheld purposely. The fact is that it defies description and it is indeed
a matter of personal experience. Beyond words is Fathomless! Shabad,
Gurmantar, abiding at the seat at navel, the seeker Gurmukh
comprehends Essence and lights up spiritual enlightenment within his
interior void perpetually. The bigger, Universal Play in nature is also
envisioned and comprehended through Gur Shabad. The alchemy of
Naam-Simran becomes nectarine, ceaseless and automatic
phenomenon. The Gurmukh practitioner is not inconvenienced in any
way, unlike the practitioners of Hathh Yoga. In the natural Gurmat
Yog, of God Realization, body torturing is not involved. Yearning for
more, unlimited flourish of enchanting enlightening further enhances
spiritual hunger and bliss of enlightenment limitlessly. Hungering to
behold Eternal Lord, Creator, ends all bodily afflictions as also evils
of mind. No more is there any thirst for worldly desires. The yearning
for more and more contemplation of Naam is most over powering to
end all other wants. And this insatiability of Naam devotees is thus
36
WWW.AKJ.ORG
limitless. There is no end to hunger for Naam and yearning to behold

Lord of Naam, yet there is a strange sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
No more is a scope left for worldliness and its desires nor bothersome
pain and sorrow. Sustenance of Gurmat Naam, vision of the Lord and
complete satiation therein is the high Gurmat spirituality that enables
hearing elating Music of Anhad Shabad tinkling. Only rare Gurmukh
devotees come to realize Anhad Bani. Though rarely experienced, yet
Truth of this is undeniable. Guru Nanak bears witness true, that once
attained, this high spirituality and its hue become eternal.

“O Nanak ! ever mounting is the elation of the accepted devotees
and there is never a slide down in their state of spirituality.”
Thitee Gaurri M. 5 [30]
Truly accomplished is the life with such spirituality, available only to

the initiated Gursikhs, faithful to Gurmat. Their love for Gurmat way
of life makes for engrossment in Naam and its alchemy to flourish in
essence of Anhad. Their life-breath imbued thus in high spirituality,
they get rid of all doubt and sorrow. All the concentration is focussed
on Guru’s word, chant of Naam and consequently in Invisible and
Incomprehensible Lord. It is only Naam-devotion and its miraculous
influence that enable contemplation of Lord Supreme and reaching
highest spirituality. Heard now is Anhad sound of Musical organs along
with singing of Gurbani as the Heavenly Ethereal Music. It is Grace of
the Benevolent Guru that opens the heavy gates of Dasam Duar and
the graced ones alone merge in Spirit-Divine. Says Gurbani:

ceaselessly elating Ethereal Unstruck Music, Anhad Shabad. O
Nanak! Bestowed is Grace Divine by Benevolent Lord and merged
is my soul with Spirit-Divine. 1. Rag Aasa Chhant M. 4 [442]
Hearing of Anhad Shabad and merging with Spirit-Divine is not easily

attained through mere words or high sermons. It requires utmost Naam-
Devotion, bestowed only by Gracious Guru, Sovereign, Controller of
Naam commodity. It is through True Satguru, met through, great
fortune, whose tutelage may bestow Naam-devotion, with His Grace.
Naam-devotion is ceaseless engrossment in Naam. The virtues of
Naam–Jewel are to be sung with loving Faith through Gurbani
endlessly. Forsaken are personal needs of eating and sleeping until
realization of the high objective. Such has to be the meditation of
engrossed and unwavering mind! Practioners of this description are
found in Guru’s House, Gursikhs delving in Naam-Jewel and earning
great Merit-Divine. They offer their entire beings, body and mind, to
Satguru in devotion and remain under His refuge. Hopeful of Guru’s
Grace, they are engrossed in Naam and Gurbani devotion. Graced
are they! Their life objective is attained, realizing Fathomless,
Incomprehensible and Invisible Lord. Says Gurbani quote:

Says Nanak, beholding the Lord with my own eyes, my mind is

After initiation and taking Amrit through Five Chosen Friendly Saints
and Divine-emissaries, when some predestined mortals experience
first vision of Divine Spirit, they get elated beyond measure. In this
blissful state, brimming with joy, they pour out their feelings, expressed
in devotional ecstasy of Gurbani Kirtan. It is piercing like Celestial
Music, in accordance with Will-Divine. Revelation of this nature through
personages of Gurus was also automatic under compulsion of joyful
direct experience, most high through Divine Communication. Timeless
Being, Lord Almighty, willed this revelation so as to establish witness
for the benefit of non-believer mortals. Thus under authority of Divine
is established the reality of invisible spiritual states visioned, as invisible
is made visible. In the face of Truth Divine, it would not be possible to
deny for Gursikhs, rather the reality will coax them to progress further
in spirit of elation. In this vein, Lord of Gursikhs, fifth Nanak has

treasures. 3. Rag Aasa Chhant M.5 Ghar 1 [452-53]

experiences and accomplishment of stated spirituality. With
enlightenment of Naam, the interior being is all lighted up, The treasure
of all treasures, WAHEGURU, is visioned closer than the closest, in
the very being. This comes as undeniable experience. Here and now,
a direct experience! All worries are then gone. Mind abandons all
straying about and dwells steadily in peace. Lord thunders forth from
within and being is rejuvenated with perpetual youth. Mind is blissful,
imbued with Divine-Love and beauty. Meeting Lord, Husband, face

CHAPTER III
Anhad, Spiritual State of Void
(Devoid of Worldliness)
The vision of Lord Supreme, WAHEGURU, nearest experience within

one’s own interior, realization of Divine, is pure joy. This ecstasy is
further heightened with hearing of Ethereal Music of Anhad Shabad.
Gurmukh devotees elated with Divine Music, tinkling sound of various
organs and singing of Gurbani, become most encahanted. Amrit
gathered at lotus of navel gets pumped about playfully to enchant
entire being, akin to colorful Holi (Hindu Festival where people throw a
variety of colours on each other) celebrations, engrossing self in high
meditation, at Abode of Self. With Dasam Duar opened, all worldliness
makes an exit. Self abides at this Abode, real home for self, after long
period of deprivation. Thus realized is the life objective, visioning Lord

Automatic is the blissful Music, Anhad. Eternal is this bliss of
Word-Divine play. Engrossed in meditation, I am seated at the
High Abode of Self in state of Sahaj.1. This home-coming is after
long straying, where I find all that I could wish for. O’ saints!
Fully satiated I am, as Guru has bestowed on me vision and
realization of all Pervading Lord. 2. Lord, Himself, is the Ruling
Deity as also the ruled folks. He is both aloof and disenchanted
as also enjoyer of all. Sits He on throne to dispense Justice True.
Ended thus is all my wailing of worldliness. 3.

Anhad, Spiritual State of Void 17
In same Shabad, Guru further authenticates thus:

I have stated as I visioned. Blessed with Naam-Nectar is the one
who realize the Lord. Bliss comes with merging of individual soul
and Spirit-Divine, O’ Nanak! Entire creation is Manifestation of
One, Lord. 4. 3. 10. Majh M.5 [97]
It is a clear statement by fifth Nanak, personal witness of the stated

True Gurbani and verified in experience. This is the spiritual state,
enjoyed by Gurmukh Naam- devotees, ideal beings following Gurmat.
Bliss of real experience alone establishes True Faith, through hard
devotional practice.
The following benedictions of Naam-devotion are undeniable:

1. Anhad shabd is heard automatically, that is blissful.
2. Perpetual is this bliss of Word-Divine.
3. Engrossment in meditation at Abode of Self, in Sahaj spirituality.
4. This place of abiding is high at Dasam Duar.
5. O’Saints! Guru bestows envisioning of All Pervading Lord!
The Gurmat states of high spirituality are truly beheld. All other talk of
hearsay and misuse of quotations with distorted meaning are rootless
statements, in fake copying. Gurudom of fakes can never bring about
genuine efficacy of true Gurmat. The experience eludes them as
farfetched. The Gurmukhs of true realization never show off. Hollow
ones are given to making all the noise of false claims to high spirituality,
while the accomplished ones are at peace with inner bliss.
Those, enjoying oneness with Lord, Husband, are His true brides.
Lord abides on the throne of their interior. Lord enacts union with
their beings as He pleases. Ecstatic is this merger of their souls into
Spirit Divine, like consummation of marriage of individual souls. Their
cry of ecstatic bliss is thus:

Most Enjoyable is the playful union with Lord! Yearning for
Divine Love, I am sacrifice unto Him, offering my all, body and
soul. (5.) Bilawal M.4 [836]
Merged are these devotees with Lord in their life-time and enjoy real
bliss. They experience total engulfment and envision Divine within and
without in complete union of oneness. They lose their entire being in
the elating experience. The blisfulness includes tinkling Etheral Music
of Anhad Shabad that is most captivating and perpetual. The state of
blisful Anhad is “Deep Meditation”, enlightenment, devoid of
worldliness. This is an experience in full consciousness of Nectarian,
Heavenly bliss, bestowed naturally through Grace-Divine. It is not a
dream of semi-consciousness, or devoid of consciousness. Ofcourse
lost is all worldlines and all its evils of thought and desire. It is an
enlightenment of full awakeness with all the nectarian spiritual bliss.
Here is a description in Gurubani:

All talk of Void, state of being without worldliness. How is the
state of eternal bliss, devoid of worldliness experienced? What
marks the devotees, imbued with this high spirituality, Anhad of
Void? They are one with their Creator Lord in sameness. No
more are they subject to birth and death of transmigration.
O’Nanak! Their minds acquire wisdom of Gurmat. 52. Devotees
fully satiated, free from worldly desires, concentrate only on
Divine-Realization at Dasam Duar. With opening of Dasam Duar
is realized Eternal Bliss, devoid of worldliness and heard is Music
Divine, Anhad. Thus merge devotees with Divine while beholding
44
WWW.AKJ.ORG
face to face. Enlightenement of Light divine enables to envision

Lord everywhere, in all beings. Word divine, incomprehensible
Naam- Divine, life-force becomes evident. O Nanak! Realized is
Truth-Divine with direct experience. 53.
Ramkali M. 1 Sidh Ghost [943-44]
Many talk of spiritual state of “Sunn”, devoid of worldliness, through

hearsay or imagined, expressed in Holy Scriptures. Devoid of personal
verification, such a talk is only a myth. The origin of how and where-
from of “Anhad Sunn” state is not realized. According to Gurmat, it is
not a state of life-less void, rather it is unique high spirituality. Devotees
of this state enjoy blissful kirtan of elating ethereal music eternally.
They are consciously engrossed in this all the time. There is total absence
of worldly thoughts and desires and this deep meditation gets
perpetuated.
Thus defined is ‘State of Anhad Sunn’, devoid of worldlines for all

time to come, engrossed in music of Anhad Shabad of eternal bliss,
reminaining immersed in Light-Divine in Holy presence of Eternal Lord
and ever saluting Him in deep meditation in high ecstasy, bestowed by
this state!
Imbued in spirituality of ‘Anhad Sunn’, swan birds, devotee-sons of

Lord Supreme are in the likeness of Divine. Never again are they
born or die in transmigration. Gurmukhs acquire full control over mind.
They dwell in complete concentration on Anhad-Shabad in Deep
meditation. All their nine doors of worldly communication are satiated
with nectarian Amrit bliss, enlightened with Light-Divine. Thus the entire
concentration of Amrit saturated bodily organs is now directed to the
Amrit Source, Dasam Duar. There is no more distinguishing limit of
function, with total Divine-orientation of the being. Engrossed in this
state, Enlightement with Divine-Knowledge, bodily organs participate
in symphony of Blissful music of Anhad Shabad. No more is the need
to sing praise Divine with throat and left far behind is the need for
playing of musical instruments! Even the loudest sound of perceptible
musical organs remains unheard there, nor is the tinkling of
45
WWW.AKJ.ORG
imperceptible divine music audible to the perceptible ears. Conscious

engrossment in heavenly imperceptible ecstatic Divine Music of Anhad
Shabad leads to the sight of Divine Spirit. Imbued in Love Divine,
Gurmukh devotees abide in Divine persence of WAHEGURU to enjoy
undisturbed Bliss. This experience of enlightenment and broad vision
extends to engulf the universe, as envisioned by devotee, including
Divine Presence within and also in every other being. This establishes
the Gurbani truth of Divine Immanence as witnessed Reality. It could
never be construed as figment of imagination. Personal verification of
Gurbani Truth further enhances faith and devotion. The hue of Naam-
imbued devotees never dims, rather it futher deepens. Of course very
rare individuals enjoy high spirituality of Anhad Shabad and verification
of personal experience. Says Gurbani:

Guru oriented realize Lord and their steady minds abide in their
interior. Life-breath abides in bliss on the seat of navel and
seeking Gurmukh finds the Essence. Word-Divine also resides in
interior, Abode of Self. Realized is Light-Divine of Eflugent Naam
that pervades everywhere. Yearning hunger for Lord True ends
afflictions and satiated is mind in seeking Divine. Rare ones
comprehend Naam-force of Word–Divine, Anhad, Sustainer of
all life, through Guru’s Grace. Says Nanak, those reciting Naam
all the time are imbued with Naam and this hue of Love-Divine is
Eternal. 65.
Anhad Bani
In the above quote is illustrated Gurbani about the state of ‘Anhad’
spirituality. Restless, volatile and ruthlessly vacillating elephant-like mind
46
WWW.AKJ.ORG
is contolled into steadiness by Gurmukh devotees, when put under

the goad of Shabad, Guru’s Chant, recited continuously. Thus reciting
‘WAHEGURU’ is efficacious to control mind for concentration and
effectiveness. Naam recitation is a source of untold force that has
wrought many spiritual miracles. The onset of this process follows
when Naam recitation becomes automatic.
Repetition of Naam-recitation becomes blissful with natural practice,

though tasteless in the beginning, like tasting a rock without relish. The
forceful utterance “RU” part of WAHEGURU directs breath from tip
of tongue that becomes nectarian and ends up at the navel. Engrossed
in sweetness, breath is held at the navel. In the interior navel, enjoying
nectarian sweetness, enticed mind comes to abide in meditation.
Control of Mind
As long as breath imbued with Naam-Amrit is held, exerting pressure
at the navel, elated mind also becomes restful there:
“iehu mnu inhclu ihrdY vsIAly...” - “Abides mind steadily in the

interior...” Ramkali M.1 Sidh Gost [945]
With continuous practice of Naam-repetition, the mind is controlled

engrossed thus in meditation, enjoying nectarian Naam-Amrit, thirsting
no more for worldly craze. Enchanted and elated with Naam-amrit, it
is bound and pierced through in engrossment. At Self-Abode of navel,
mind enjoys drinking eternally from the amrit-well there. Breath also
gets buried at the navel imbued with Amrit.
Rising of Mind from Navel to Dasam Duar

Now the mind, addict of Naam-nectar and drunk with nectarian breath,
starts upward journey from navel along with devotee’s consciousnes
towards high Dasam Duar. The breath is still held pressed at the navel.
Drenched with Naam-Nectar, Consciousness rises easily to the highest
in search of the Essence, Lord Supreme, for union of Sahaj yog and
47
WWW.AKJ.ORG
does find Him. This phenomenon is illustrated in Gurbani:

Life-breath abides in bliss on the seat of navel and seeking
Gurmukh finds the Essence.
The nectarian breath of devotee is in fact Naam, Gurmantar and

effacious for absolute purification of mind, to bring it to this high
spirituality. Alchemy of Naam produces the effects of deep meditation
in the interior on Gurshabd at the Abode of Self without wavering of
mind, enabling vision of Light-Divine that enhances yearning for ever
more of this vision. The hunger to experience Presence Divine ends all
other worldly seekings and banishes sorrow and pain. Seekers of
Naam-Enlightenment are fully satiated with the vision of Divine Spirit
of Lord Supreme. Imbued with Naam and enjoying Lord’s Presence
the devotees are always engrossed in singing Divine Praise, Gurbani.
Ever awake with highest Spiritual Enlightenment, they are rid of all
their sins, including those of previous births. Their knowledge of
alchemic Gurbani, listening and reciting Amrit Naam automatically
bestows the blissful Music of Anhad Shabad. Thus is brought to
fruitation their constant devotion to Gurbani and Naam! Singing Praise
imbued with Love, they are rejuvinated physically and mentally, free
from all pain, sorrow and afflictions. This is now ever more blissful,
while beholding Sight of Lord. The mind rid of all impurities is rendered
immaculate. Reciting Naam Divine is now with limitless eagernesss.

Singing Praise–Divine, devotees are ever awake in Divine love.

Devotees remain awake in Love-Divine on meeting beloved Saint
Guru and banished are all their sins. Taking refuge in Guru, all
doubts vanish and all duties are accomplished. Devotees of great
fortune devote to Naam-recitatation and easily comprehend
Gurbani, listening in rapt attention. Says Nanak, taking Shelter-
Divine, they make offering to The Lord of their entire being, soul
and body. 1. Devotees engrossed in blissful singing of Praise-
Divine, get blessed with unstruck music most elating of Anhad
Shabad. Singing Divine virtues all affliction are gone and mind
is filled with unbounded joy. Sight of devotees engaged in Naam-
recitation is efficacious to purify mind and body of the beholder.
Suhi Chhant M. 5 [778]
In the holy company of True Saint, Satguru, enjoying closeness and

personal communication, mercurial and volatile mind becomes steady,
under control. Mind abiding within fully concentrated on Divine-
Devotion, is blessed with spray of Naam-Nectar in the interior and
heard is the unstruck music, Anhad Shabad, at Dasam Duar. Naam-
Spray in enhanced to flow of Amrit from Dasam Duar. Naam devotees
devour of this Amrit all the time, ever yearning for more. All this is
blessing of continuous Naam-recitation. The chant of Gurmantar is
bestowed only by Satguru and his grace alone enables devotee to
engross in Faithful Love-Divine and Naam-devotion, day and night.
Naam-Charming blesses with Realization of Lord, WAHEGURU, in
a Loving-Embrace of the the Lord within. Confirms Gurbani:

Bewitching are the happenings of Essence of Spirituality in House of

Guru. With Inaccessible, Incomprehensible and Invisible Lord
Supreme, Himself coming to meet a devotee, what can be more
miraculous? This is indeed a blessing wrought by glory of Naam! In
no other way but through Gur-Shabad is realized Anhad-Shabad.
Glory of Naam-blessses with most exhilrating bliss of union with
WAHEGURU. Born in the House of Guru, one is saved from cycles
of transmigration. Thus one abides in eternal bliss of high spirituality of
Anhad-Shabad, engrossed in deep meditation of Lord Eternal, without
any wavering. Shabad of Guru is efficacious in destroying all worldly
hopes and desires. Gurmukhs are blessed with inner enlightenment of
Divine–Glory. Naam-devotion to Gur-shabd wins over all hazardous
worldlinesss and leads to the highest Fourth State of Spirituality, state
of Liberation thorugh Grace Divine. Says Gurbani:

Ramkali M. 1 Sidh Ghost [940]
Most amazing is the miraculous power of Gur-Shabad, Gurmantar.

Mind abiding in the interior goes high up in the void of Dasam Duar.
Lord, Inaccessible comes to reside within a devotional being, shattering
the veil of egoism. All doubt disappears and established is rock-like
faith. Rare Gurmukhs enjoy this experience, blessed with grace of
Guru. Visioning Lord within, Redeemed living beings behold Lord
face to face and experience Enlightenment. Amrit flow from Dasam-
Duar, of Sahaj State, Equipoise, starts. Graced by Guru, Gurmukhs
enjoy this Amrit from Amrit well at navel within. The display of Anhad-
Shabad celestial Music, is rare and inacessible, yet this experience is
enjoyed by Gurmukh devotees, within their own beings. With
disappearance of the veil of separation, their consciousness takes to
flight in the void of uppermost region, Dasam Duar, listening to the
tinkling and elating music, Anhad Shabad. This strange phenomenon
depicts sky-like void within the being that provides display of Anhad
Sound. Thus within the body is contained receiver and transmitting
station for continuous operation. Elation of music leads to ecstatic
deep meditation, contemplating WAHEGURU. This is the intervening
region of meeting Divine at Divine-Throne, visioned with opening of
doors of Dasam Duar. The enticement of Celestial Music from within
pulls Beloved Lord also wihtin. Thus attracted and enticed by infinite
devotional love, Beloved Lord Himself sustains this union, never to
abandon again. With Divine Presence, the unending Anhad Music
becomes perpetual. In this arena, Lord alone pervades in Divine-
Glory. In their deep meditation Saintly Gurmukhs live in Divine-
Presence. The eternal residence of bliss and well-being is bestowed
by the Grace of Guru Nanak Sahib on his select Divine-Seeksers to
remain ever satiated fullly. Never is there a shadow of duality,
separation, pain or sorrow. Says Gurbani:

Serving Satguru, is one blessed with greatest glory. Lord comes
to abide within the being of devotee, on His Own! Lord is the
fruit –bearing tree of Amrit. Graced with this drink, one gets all
his thirst quenched. 1. I am sacrifice unto my Lord, bestowing
Holy sangat, He unites me with Himself. Company of Satsangat
is bestowed by Divine-Grace, where sung are Virtues-Divine
through Gurbani.1. Pause. Contemplating Guru through Blissful
Word, bestowed is Naam-Divine in my mind. Immaculate Lord
banishes impurity of ego and thus purified, one is glorified at
Door-divine. 2. Naam is bestowed not without Guru. Seers and
ascetics go about wailing for Naam. There is no peace without
serving Guru, Meeting Guru is an act of perfect destiny. 3. Mind
is a mirror to reflect true self, visioned by rare Gurmukhs. Mind
remains clear of rusting if moisture of egoism is dried up.
Celestial Music, Anhad Bani, is singing of immaculate Gurbani.
Union with Lord-Divine is through Naam and Gurbani. 4.
Without Satguru, none can behold Lord. Bestowing His grace,
Guru enables vision of Divine. Lord, Himself, comes to meet His
devotees, bestowing merger of Sahaj, Equipoise of Spiriuality. 5.
Delving in Gurmat, Gurmukh is engrossed in Love-Divine only,
doubt of duality is destroyed through Gur-Shabad. Engaging in
trade of Naam-devotion within the interior, one finds true Naam-
Treasure. 6. The noblest work for Guru-oriented is singing Praise–
Divine. Thus Gurmukh attains Door of Liberation. Singing
Virtues–Divine, imbued wih Love, ushered is the Naam-Devotee
into Lord’s Presence in Abode–Divine. 7. Divine grace brings
about meeting with Guru. Perfect destiny thus bestows Naam in
mind, through Guru. O’ Nanak! Naam confers the high
distinction that devotee remains ever engrossed in singing
Divine–Virtues. 8. Majh M.3 [114-115]

The quote demostrates distinct high charactersitics of House of The

Guru. The foremost blesssing of initiation into Faith of Guru Nanak,
His successor Gurus and the present Sri Guru Granth Sahib
(embodiment of spirit of the ten Gurus) is, that:
“Lord comes to abide within the being of the devotee on His Own.”
Incompreshible, Inaccessible and Invisible Lord Supreme, without

any effort by the devotee, comes to abide within of His Own accord.
People of other faiths, with all their rituals, can never achieve this.
Following teachings of Gurmat, WAHEGURU fruit bearing Tree of
Amrit takes permanent root within. As a benediction, charactersitic of
House of Guru, Parjat, Heavenly Tree of Spiritual Enlightenment, comes
to fruitation of Amrit within interior of being and keeps flourishing
perpetually. Body is also imbued in Amrit hue and shines forth in glory.
Satiating for all time to come is the imbibing of this Amrit-Divine. I am
sacrifice unto this Holy company, Sat Sangat Sanjog, that blesses
with singing virtues of Divine and consequent experience of unstruck
Music-Divine, Anhad-Shabad. All is Divine–Play, of abiding in Sat
Sangat and finding House of Guru. There is no real Sat Sangat outside
House of Guru. Many are congregations of fake devotees, in an attempt
to ape real Sat Sangat. These are houses of deception. Defined in

closet, full of precious Gems and Amrit, is the Treasure-House of
Guru. 1. Here is a wonder, beyond words! O’borther!
Imperceptible is the Priceless Commodity within. 1. Pause. None
is able to evaluate worth of Naam- Commodity, what can one
say and express? Beyond any words to comprehend, whosoever
realizes Naam-Treasure, falls deeply in Love of Naam-
Devotion. 2. Ramkali M. 5 [883]
Without becoming a devotee of Satguru, no ascetic, seer or sage, can

gain awareness of Door-Divine nor real peace. Perfect destiny bestows
56
WWW.AKJ.ORG
the gift of meeting Satguru. It is taking refuge in Satguru through initiation

that removes filth of one’s interior, of all selfhood and ego. Thus mind
of a Gurmukh, Guru-Oriented, is immaculate like a shinning mirror,
free of rust of egoism. It is reflection in the mirror-like mind that enables
vision of invisible scenes, beyond the pale of visible creation. This
eternal state of Pure Spirituality gives access to elating Music-Divine
of Anhad-Shabad, from Dasam Duar. This is The Real State of merging
with Gur-Shabad, Naam. Grace of Guru and Naam-devotion by the
initiated devotees alone leads to vision of this Divine-Play, otherwise
inaccessible and imperceptible! Satguru bestows visions of Glorious
Lord, perpetually.
Gurmukh, Naam-devotees, Blissfully united with Lord, Spirit-Divine,

abide in Sahaj, state of Spiritual Equipoise. This is total devotion to
One Lord Supreme, without a shadow of duality, destroyed by
efficacy of Naam. Engrossed they remain in Spiritual experiences
within and playful Oneness of union with Lord Husband.

Unmanifested Lord, Invisible, pervades everywhere, within and

Fourth State, transcends sin or propitiation of deeds.
Comprehending secret of Divine Pervading in all and yet aloof
as Transcendent Lord, Eternal, a devotee acquires sameness of
the Primordial Immaculate Lord. Devotee imbued with Naam,
Immaculate, O’ Nanak, is One with Lord of Destiny! 5.

WWW.AKJ.ORG
Elucidation: Blessed with Highest Spirituality ‘Turiya’, fourth-state

totally devoid of worldliness, devotee is always engrossed in meditating
Transcendent Lord. He visions Glory of Lord Supreme, Divine–Spirit
face to face. He sees Light-Divine and Divine Presence within and
without, engulfing all creation and beings. Like the Virtuous Lord, the
devotee acquires freedom, beyond worldliness of good or bad deeds
of merit or sin. There is no response of mind to worldly attraction for
sin or rituals that is no more his field of action. He is lost in Vision of
One Lord all around, in all beings and comprehends the secret of
Divine Immanence and Transcendence. Thus, the devotee who lives
Gurmat in practice, in full devotion, gets imbued with Naam-
Immaculate and becomes one with Lord, merging with Spirit Divine,
WAHEGURU. He has no separate identity of his own.

CHAPTER IV
SPIRITUAL ENJOYMENT
Ingressed within by the Grace of Guru is the True Commodity, Naam

Amrit. Blessed, Gurmukh devotee, enjoying real nectarian bliss,
engages in endless Naam-devotion. In ecstatic mood, devotee sings
elating Praise-Divine and hears celestial music that ensues from Dasam
Duar. With the Divine experience of visioning wondrous sights, devotee
starts singing Divine-Virtues day and night as a cherished activity. This
ennobling pursuit of Gurmukhs prepares them for abiding at Sach
Khand, Door of liberation and they become ‘living redeemed’. Deeply
imbued in Divine-Love, they are ever singing Gurbani, Divine-Virtues.
They are then invited into Abode-Divine by Beloved Lord.
One realizes Guru, the Gracious, through devotion to Naam, as Divine

benediction. It is mark of good destiny that Naam, Gurmantar, comes
to abide in mind. This is a characteristic benediction of the Guru’s
House, enjoyed by Gurmukh devotees. Blessed with singing Praise-
Divine in full engrossment all the time are Gurmukhs of the House of
Guru, alone. Such past or present Gurmukhs, enjoying their high
spirituality, have sung thus in elation:

Blissful is my mind and festive is the environment. With home
coming of Lord, Beloved, all thirst of desire is satiated. Such is
the joy of meeting Lord, Cherisher of World, that all my being is
rejoicing with song of happiness. All physical organs as also
spiritual friends are greatly flourished and evil foes, lust, anger,
greed, attachment and conceit have been routed away. Heard is
welcoming celestial Music of Anhad-Shabad within and I share
59
WWW.AKJ.ORG
spousal bed with Lord, Husband. Prays Nanak, steady may be

the bliss of Spiritual union with Lord Husband, Source of all Bliss!
4. 1. Gaurri chhant M. 5 [247]
True Bliss, greatest happiness, lies in Union with Lord Husband.

Meeting itself produces instant Joy in the mind of devotee-bride. All
the being is full of joyous song within, as the Beloved Lord comes to
abide in interior of being. Meeting Lord-Divine within, wondrous
Blissful Sight, and realizing Imperceptible Beloved spouse, brings shine
of Glory to the bride-devotee. Closely associated in Sat Sang, similarly
blessed friends with spousal union, join in the celebration of newly
blessed union, singing joyfully. While Spiritual friends are highly pleased,
evil foes are completely routed away. The Celestial Music of Dasam
Duar also descends to the interior of being, through Divine dispensation,
to enhance the welcoming festive mood. Such is the enchanting
ceremony of welcome to Divine Spouse with tinkling Music, Anhad
Shabad. Spousal bed is prepared in interior of the being, to be shared
by Loving Divine Spouse and Love-imbued new devotee-bride.
Shabad of Anhad, in most pleasing tunes of celestial Music, is sung:
ipRA AMik AMku imlweI... - “Complete and gratifying is the Union

with Lord Spouse...”
Most Blissful is the playful Spiritual Union, ecstatic beyond words.

Sexual enjoyment pales into insignificance in comparison. Joy of
Spiritual Union is rejuvenating beyond measure and ever more, never
diminishing. This is perpetual. Sexual enjoyment soon wears off and
even leaves one with insipid feeling. When ecstasy of spiritual union
becomes limitless, the bride prays for strength to cope up with the
boundless joy: O’ Loving Source of Bliss, Spouse of mine! Please let
me enjoy your love at a slower pace, so as to perpetuate this. Height
of ecstasy in bliss of Sahaj during Spiritual Union brings forth cries of
ecstatic joy of the devotee, automatically. These are joyful songs of
deep feelings from innermost depths. Here is such a Gurbani Quote,
acclaiming pure joy of union:

Tinkling is the Celestial Music of Anhad-Shabad, most ecstatic!
My mind is imbued with Love for my Beloved Lord. Imbued thus
my yearning mind finds abode at the vast expanse of Dasam Duar.
The eternal, Primordial, All Pervading, Limitless, Beloved Lord,
Imperceptible, is made perceptible by Grace of Satguru. Eternal
Lord, seated on His Throne has become focus of My love through
contemplation of Divine. O’ Nanak! Naam-imbued are the
yearning devotees, always hearing tinkling of celestial Music of
Anhad-Shabad, in supreme Bliss! 1. Aasa M. 1 [436]
This is not figurative narration, but a very real self experience. Loving
devotee-bride, enjoying spiritual union with Lord Husband pours out
ecstatic happiness with all the being. It is impossible to contain most
delightful joy that bursts out in pouring of mirthful songs, Gurbani,
expressing inner Joy. This indeed is the expression of wonderful spiritual
Love between enchanting Lord Husband and a yearning devotee that
ushers in simultaneous opening of Dasam Duar. Heard then is celestial
Music, tinkling of Anhad Divine musical organs. Opening of Dasam
Duar perpetuates this ecstatic state day and night, without any let up.
Thus engrossed, I turned away from all worldliness and devoted all
concentration to Anhad Shabad.
Sphere of Expanse in Void

Lost in blissfulness of Anhad Shabad, I came to abide in Void,
Sphere of vast expanse free of any distracting thought. It is here
that I visioned Primordial, all Pervading Lord face to face, through
Grace of Guru. I, thus had direct experience of vision of Lord,
Incomprehensible to all angelic beings, sages and seers. On the
throne of my interior being, Lord Supreme takes seat in
61
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Meditation. I am beyond myself in limitless Joy, beholding His

Glorious Sight. Guru Nanak Sahib puts his seal of affirmation,
that this is an indication of Vision of Essence, Glorious Lord, by
Naam-imbued devotee. Ecstatic is the Joy of Tinkling Ethereal
Music that keeps devotee enchanted all the time!

CHAPTER V
STATE OF LIBERATION – CITY OF NO WORRY
ABODE OF SELF – STATE OF EQUIPOISE
To become a citizen of ‘City of No-Worry’, Satguru recommends as

follows:

How to abide in ‘City of No-Worry’? Truly efficacious method of
developing Characteristic Divine Virtues is devotional practice
of Guru’s Word, Naam. Practicing Naam, a devotee comes to
abide in Abode of Self and finds Lord, Treasure-House of All
Virtues. Supreme is the Lord, Sovereign, All by Himself, without
a subsidy or root. Many rituals, penances of self-torture are of no
avail, in realizing Him. O’ Nanak! Lord, Sustainer of all life is
effortlessly realized, only through Will-Divine, as Divine–Grace.
This understanding is bestowed by Satguru. 2.
Aasa M. 1 [436]
Explication:
In the invisible region, beyond human comprehension, how can one
come to abide? The Gurbani guides thus: Practicing noble act of Naam-
devotion, Guru’s Word-Gur Shabad, Essence of All virtues is the
Gurmat way to dwell in the Region of Peace, City of No-Worry. No
other methodology can work. This is the only efficacious method, of
real value. Discipline of True Naam-devotion brings about awareness
of ‘Carefree Region’ not possible otherwise through whatever means.
Guru’s Word alone has the power to open gates of this blissful abode,
through practice of ‘Gurmantar’. This is underlined in third line of the
above Gurbani quote. It is a decisive revelation that Gurmat Naam-
63
WWW.AKJ.ORG
devotion alone leads to Abode of Self and Realization of Supreme

Lord, Treasure-House of all Virtues. Realization of Lord by itself is
abiding in Abode of Self, free from all care! Abode of the separated
soul from its Divine-Source is the very merger back into Lord. It is a
tiny spark of Divine Spirit, individual soul, getting back into the
Primordial Divine Spirit. The separated soul tends to get engrossed in
enchanting worldliness and mistakenly believing worldliness to be its
abode. Says Gurbani:
jo Gru Cif gvwvxw so lgw mn mwih ]

Temporary shelter of worldly sojourn that has to be abandoned
engrosses mind. Unaware you remain of abode eternal, where
you must go to abide eternally.
Sri Rag M. 5 [45]
ijh Gr mih quDu rhnw bsnw so Gru cIiq n AwieE ] 3 ]

You forsake the abode, where you shall eternally abide. 3.
Maru M. 5 [1017]
The eternal Abode of the soul-being, permanent residence after leaving

temporary worldly shelter of brief life-sojourn is real Abode of Self.
This is what comes to pass in Abode of Self:
inj Gir jwie AMimRq rsu pIAw ibnu nYnw jgqu nhwry ] 7 ]
In Abode of Self one drinks nectarian Amrit, of Immortality. The
sight to behold no more depends upon bodily eyes. 7.
Nat M. 4 [983]
Tasted is the ecstatic Amrit from Font of Dasam Duar only after taking
up residence at Abode of Self. There one acquires supernatural sight
and perceptible bodily eyes are of no use. All is envisioned in just one
supernatural glance. Lord Supreme is met there and Beloved Lord
becomes constant companion.

Divine-devotion and Naam-Contemplation is the precondition to gain

access there. Failing this, Abode of Self is unattainable through any
other means.

Never can one abide in Abode of Self without Divine-devotion.

Gone is all the fear of transmigration in Abode of Self, once for all.
Restless and wandering mind becomes steady. Residing in Abode of
Self is after flourishing of Lotus at the navel. In the bliss of Blooming
Lotus and abiding in Abode of Self, envisioned by the soul are the
brimming tanks of Amrit in sky, underworlds and all over. Merged in
Spirit-Divine, soul beholds Beloved Lord.

Abiding in Abode of Self fear is banished. Wandering mind

Rid is devotee of the attachment of worldliness:
inj Gir visAw iqQY mohu n mwieAw ] (1 ])

Abiding in abode of self, there is no more attachment of
worldliness! (1.) Maru M.3 [1050]
When Naam comes to abide in mind after initiation by Guru, propelled

by subsequent Naam-meditation, one automatically comes to abide
in Abode of Self:
65

inj Gir vsY shij suBwie ] gurmuiK nwmu vsY min Awie ] 3 ]
Naam abiding in mind of Guru-Oriented, they normally come to
abide in Abode of Self. 3. Bhairon M. 3 [1129]
One is fully sustained by Naam Immaculate as Divine-devotee, abiding

in Abode of Self - no other want is felt there. One acquires a state of
Satisfaction with Divine-Provisioning, without asking. Praise-Divine
as mark of devotion becomes donning of dress. Even after taking up
residence in abode of self, devotees keep singing Praise-Divine as
Divine-Service. Their glory is enchanting Naam awareness:

Sustenance of devotees is Naam Immaculate and Praise-Divine
is like donning of dress. Abiding in Abode of Self, they remain in
contemplation of Naam and receive honour at Door-Divine. 2.
Sarang M. 3 [1233]
True Word, Gurmantar, Naam-meditation alone is gathering of Naam-

wealth and recitation of True Gurbani is singing of Divine-Virtues.
Such is the stepping into Abode of Self and attaining of State of
Immortality, that bestows honour in Divine-Court:
scY sbid scu kmwvY ] scI bwxI hir gux gwvY ]

inj Gir vwsu Amr pdu pwvY ] qw dir swcY soBw pwvY ] 5 ]
Word-Divine, Gurmantar, is for Naam-devotion and True Gurbani
is for singing Divine Virtues. Thus one goes to abide in Abode of
Self as Immortal being and receives honour at Door-Divine. 5.
Parbhati Asht. M. 1 [1342]
Awareness of Abode of Self dawns only on those initiated by Guru,

Guru-Oriented. They become engrossed in Love-Divine through
ceaseless Gurmat Naam-Meditation. These are the ones that go to
abide in Abode of Self and merge into SachKhand, Abode-Divine.
Ended is their cycle of births and deaths. However, all important
condition is initiation into House of Guru and living in accordance with
66
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Gurmat teachings of Satguru:
gurmuiK bUJY eyk ilv lwey Ò inj Gir vwsY swic smwey Ò

Guru-Oriented become aware through Love-Divine. Devotee,
thus, comes to abide in Abode of Self and merge with Lord. Ended
is the cycle of births and deaths. Tutelage of Accomplished Guru
brings such awareness. 7. Gaurri Guareri M. 1 [222]
Residents of Abode of Self radiate enchanting spiritual glory always.

Their very sight becomes blissful. Naam immaculate abides within
them at all times. They have scored victory over death. Ended is their
thirst of worldly desires. Ever awake spiritually, they never yield to
slumber of worldliness. They keep enjoying drink of Amrit at will from
within. Sweetness of Amrit Bani keeps pouring through their recitation
and their interior is ever brimming with nectarian Naam-Amrit. Singing
Divine-Virtues becomes automatic all the while:

Divine Virtues. Ever enchanting are residents of Abode of Self,
O’Nanak, and peace descends on beholding them. 2.
Bilawal Ki Var M. 3 [853]
House of eternal residence of Fourth Spiritual State, beyond

worldliness, is the Abode of Liberated devotees. Abode of Self is
where Guru-oriented transcend worldliness like flourished Lotus
remaining above water, renouncers-true abide in full spiritual
awareness. Abode of Self is self-inducing like a touch-stone, ‘Paras’,
that makes its residents total renouncers of worldliness of three states.
67
WWW.AKJ.ORG
They delve not in sin or virtue of deeds, transcending both in complete

renuniciation:
pwp puMn duie eyk smwn ] inj Gir pwrsu qjhu gun Awn ] 3 ]
Delving no more in merit or demerit, virtuous and sinful deeds
are transcended in Abode of Self. Spirituality of in-dwelling
Alchemic Naam induces spirit of renunciation in devotees. 3.
Gaurri Kabir Ji [325]
It is glory of Naam, that leads to abiding in Abode of Self. Tinkling of

Anhad Kirtan is continuous there as also constant beholding of Creator
Lord through Supernatural Sight. Bestowed is the Eternal Liberation
there, merging with Formless, Immaculate, All-Pervading, Light-Divine
and enjoying the vision. Abode of Self thus comes alive and real:

Speaking truth, absolutely free from falsehood, Guru-oriented
live in harmony with Will-Divine. They remain renouncers of
worldliness, taking refuge in Lord. 1. Abiding in Eternal abode,
death stares them not. Mind-ward mortals keep suffering pain of
births and deaths and worldly attachment. 1. Pause. Drink deep
of Naam-Amrit and keep reciting virtues of Lord Infinite.
Abiding in Abode of Self is gained the state of Spiritual Poise.
Imbued with Naam-Amrit enjoy this Bliss. 2. Firm, rock-like is
the disciplined way of Gurmat, not given to wavering. In Gurmat
way, abiding in Godly Presence, devotee remains singing Divine-
Virtues in state of Sahaj. Drinking Naam-Amrit, devotee delves
in essence of Knowledge. 3. Finding Satguru, devotee gets
initiated with Gurmantar. Making an offering of his all, mind
and body, he gets purified within. As immaculate being, devotee
acquires Spiritual Awareness. 4. Naam-Immaculate provides
blissful sustenance. Devotee is like Spiritual Swan bird, engulfed
with Divine-Light. He envisions Lord Alone everywhere. 5.
Transcending worldliness, he lives righteous life. Serving in House
of Guru, he is bestowed with highest Spirituality. With self-
conviction of mind, ended is self-conceit and delving in doubt. 6.
Who is not redeemed, following this Highway of Spirituality? All
Saintly devotees have been redeemed through Praise-Divine.
Realizing Lord Supreme, shunned is all duality. 7. Abiding in
Eternal Abode, comprehended through Guru, this permanent
residence is beyond pale of worldliness. Righteous living of
contentment brooks not any doubt. 8. One becomes Guru-
Oriented in company of those enshrining Lord in their minds.
Says Nanak, Naam-Divine is Great Purifier of filth of
worldliness. 9. 15. Gaurri M. 1 [227]
69
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Godly devotees utter always Naam-True, Truth-Eternal. Naam is their

only expression! Naam alone is commodity of Worth. That is why
Guru-Oriented, Naam-addicts and lovers of Divine utter Naam-always:

Reciting Naam-Divine, delving in Truth, Guru-oriented find Lord

contemplate His Naam-Divine ceaselessly. (5.2.)
Dhanasri M. 1 [689]
Determining Truth
Divine-devotees utter only true Naam. Never a falsehood escapes
from their lips. All talk other than Naam is senseless falsehood. The
worldly truthfulness pales before the Truth of Spiritual Poise, fourth
state of highest spirituality. Those delving in essence of Truth, speaking
nothing but Naam-True, have no taste for coated worldly truth with
underlying falsehood. Speaking absolute Truth with worldly people
comes naturally to Naam-devotees. To abide in Will-Divine of righteous
living, Naam recitation is Divine-ordained way for devotees. Thus
Guru-oriented devotees are always engaged in Naam-recitation.
“rwm nwm riv rhIAY...” - “Ever remain reciting Naam of All-

Pervading Lord...” Gaund Kabir Ji [870]
All other talk is useless. Under Shelter–Divine, in Naam worship, the

devotees are ever carefree, unconcerned with controversial falsehood,
labeled as worldly truth. They are true renouncers at heart, unattached
to worldliness.Without a clean break-off from worldliness it is
impossible to remain under Divine refuge.

Glory of Taking Divine Shelter

What blessing is bestowed on those engrossed in Love-Divine?
sc Gir bYsY kwlu n johY ]

Abiding in Divine –Presence, death stares not.
Gaurri M. 1 [227]
Thus abiding in Abode of Self bestows firmness of steady meditation,

beyond jurisdiction of a death-courier. The mind-ward, engrossed in
worldly attachment, keep suffering transmigration and pain of repeated
births and deaths. Gurmukh Naam-devotees, imbibing Naam-Amrit,
reciting Naam with automatic simran of the indescribable Lord are
always blissful. Ended is all their cycle of transmigration. They become
liberated through Gurmat way of living, engrossed in Love-Divine:
“inj Gir bYis shj Gru lhIAY...” - “Abiding in Abode of Self is

attained poise of high spirituality, Sahaj state...”
Enjoying bliss at Abode of Self, devotees are blessed with Naam-

Nectar and Light-Divine and finally land up with highest Spirituality of
Equipoise. Drunk with Naam-Amrit they alone are blessed with highest
Equipoise. This is the Gurmat characteristic, unique eternal play of
Divine. In this spiritual state, devotee engrossed in Equipoise does not
lose consciousness, but engages more and more in Naam–devotion
and drinks deep of Naam-Amrit. He is ever fully awake and conscious
in his blissfulness of Naam-Devotion:
“pIvY AimRq qqu ivrolY...” - “Drinking deep of Naam-Amrit,

CHAPTER VI
LIBERATION
State of Liberation is realized by highly destined Divine-devotees.

They find accomplished Satguru, of proved genuineness and then put
all their faith in Him as Divine Emissary. They seek His tutelage and
get initiated in Gurmantar, Chant of Naam-Divine. Living Gurmat way
of life, their dedication to Naam-Divine is complete, both in body and
mind. In ceaseless Naam-devotion, they accomplish internal bliss of
spiritual enlightenment and Liberation.
Liberation-state of Gurmat is unique and different in concept from

other religious faiths. This is not mere ending up of human body or just
escapement of soul from bodily cage. Some envisage liberation as
riddance from afflictions associated with human body. They believe
liberation is unattainable so long as the soul is caged in body. Some
others identify liberation as fulfillment of desire to abide in heavenly
abode. However this kind of liberation falls very much short of Gurmat
concept. Liberation is not banishment of imagined pain and sorrow,
nor can it be termed as disassociation of soul-being from materialism.
Yogic faith conceives liberation as empty conciousness through
meditation that bears no semblance with Gurmat concept. Vedantic
faith believes in removal of duality to claim oneness with Absolute, to
be liberated. Budhism believes liberation to be a state of total
renunciation of desire, Nirvana, of negative thought. Jainism way of
non-violence, non-killing, is also considered to lead to liberation. Mere
escape from transmigration is not essence of True Liberation.
Gurmat considers above listed forms of liberation as half way and

incomplete. Swan-bird Gurmukhs, blessed with Divine
enlightenment, reject all these forms. They merge with Divine-Light
Immaculate while living and envision Glorious Lord in full Divine
Splendor. Gurmukhs are sustained by nourishment of Naam-Divine,
while beholding Lord all the time. They find true liberation in Love-
Divine. Thus Gurmat accepted liberated ones are those envisioning
72
WWW.AKJ.ORG
LIBERATION 47
Formless Lord, Light-Divine, within the body. Like lotus in water,

they remain in world and yet transcend worldliness, delving in Naam
and sustained by Naam-Nourishment. Their liberation lies in sole
occupation of Naam-devotion, in accordance with Gurmat. This
supreme state is reached in complete dedication and taking refuge in
Guru. Dedicated service of Gurmat bestows liberation, that is very
real and not a figment of imagination. Self-conviction of mind comes
through enlightenment within and dawning of self experience leaves
no scope for doubt. Many in House of the Guru have been blessed
with liberation. The underlying source is Praise-Divine, taught in Gurmat.
Gurmukh, saintly devotees remain devoted to Gurmat Praise-Divine,
Kirtan that has proved efficacious and shall ever remain so in attaining
liberation. The chief objective is God-Realization. Sought is not
liberation, devoid of God-Realization.

Satguru bestows vision of Eternal, Immanent Lord True on His
Gurmukh devotees in Real Abode, Dasam Duar, within their own
bodies. This experience of Incomprehensible Lord is very real and
Abode-Divine at Dasam Duar is also a lasting Reality, not a mere
‘castle in the air’ myth. Living spirit of a being is real, abiding in human
body, but departs from a dead body, leaving no signs behind. Similarly
Spirit-Divine abiding at Dasam Duar and Lotus at navel of human
body cannot be traced in a dead body. The Scientific knowledge of
human anatomy has failed to ascertain these realities. Firstly there
may not have been an occasion to carry out post-mortem on the body
of a Gurumukh, enjoying flourished .
Lotus at navel and experiencing the Divine-Play of Dasam Duar.

However, even if there was any, what could have remained for an
indication? Scientists know not the exact bodily location of Lotus at
navel nor can they differentiate between a closed or open Dasam
Duar in bodily cage. Generally post-mortem on dead bodies is confined
to specific and limited experiments. Is it feasible to establish for an
anatomist, in case of common people, the places where human soul
was abiding in a living body and the place of final exit on death? Yet
failure to determine the above cannot deny that soul being was there
in a living body. If doubts persist among non-believers in Divine-
Wisdom, the miracles of Divine-Voice of conscience in living beings
throughout life as commonly known and experienced, the Divine-Play
of Dasam Duar is too far fetched for them. With Divine-Enlightenment
within alone is visioned Divine-Spirit. Reality of envisioning Divine-
Light is such a Truth, that reality of visible body is of little consequence
in comparison. Ignorant mortals put all their faith in realism of perishable
visible commodities. However reality that sustains the mortal frames
74
WWW.AKJ.ORG
WISDOM OF GURMAT AND SCIENCE 49
is plainly ignored. On top of it the ignorant take pride in denying reality

of invisible spiritual commodities. Hiding their inability to delve into
essence of Realism behind their cover of gross ignorance and brutal
ways, they bloat in self-conceit. However glory of Realism remains
undiminished and revealed is the worthlessness of fake claims of
impoverished minds.
Spirit cannot be materialized, but may only be realized and

spiritualized by masters of Spiritualism. The secret Treasure-House of
Spiritualism is Gurbani. Scholars of this Knowledge have located the
secret Treasure-House of Spiritualism within human body that forms
‘Knowledge of the Invisible’.

Lord, Immanent, abiding in all the universe also abides in human
body. Comprehend this through Guru and Envision Him through
Word-Divine. Lord is enjoyer of all beings and yet remains
Transcendent. 14. Maru M. 1 [1041]
Lord, pervading in all four directions, in all fourteen worlds, entire

universe is found within their own beings by Guru-oriented seekers of
Divine. Waheguru, Lord Supreme, is present in all beings, in all regions,
throughout the universe. While mortals, devoid of Gurmat, have only
imagined immanence of God, Gurmukhs aware of Word-Divine and
comprehending Truth, have indeed visioned Divine-Presence within
their own bodies. Making His Effulgent presence within from unknown
hidden Presence, All-Enjoyer Lord starts His play of enjoyment in
union with soul being. Drunk with blissful spiritual union with Lord
throughout the being, the devotee is fully aware of this ecstatic real
experience. Enjoying union with all soul beings in different bodies, yet
Lord remains aloof and transcendent from all His creation. Divine-
75
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Spirit abides unknown to all mortals except graced Divine-devotees.

Invisible and Incomprehensible Lord, Waheguru, Immanent Being,
remaining unseen by eyes, perceptible bodily organs, does not prove
that Creator Lord is non-existent and unreal. Fire remaining unlit and
unkindled, in hidden state, does not mean that fire is unreal non-entity.
Only those who have experience of fire are sure of its reality, not
others. In earliest times fire was not so common and people could
doubt its reality. In modern times it can be kindled or put off instantly.
However, if it were to happen that fire and its light disappears all of a
sudden every where and remains so for quite long, all the means to
ignite fire fail, shall we then conclude that fire is non-existent? In reality,
it only remains unkindled and hidden. The methods to ignite fire have
eluded, or failed in the beginning of ages. All wood contains hidden
fire and so also all beings, all nooks and corners of universe, worlds,
underworlds, skies, oceans and deserts, etc are pervaded by Invisible
and Incomprehensible Lord Supreme in hidden form of Light-Divine.

human eye-organ, even if nearer than the nearest. Even the soul being
that keeps body alive is not perceived by mortals in general during life
time, what to talk of visioning the departing soul. Can we conclude
that invisible soul being is non-existent? Formless beings of creation
can only be envisioned by imperceptible Super-natural eyes. Those
graced with gift of such vision experience amazing scenes of various
types within their own being. They bear personal witness thus:

Soul-being and Imperceptible Creation

Gurumukh, Guru-oriented devotees have got initiated and blessed
with Gurmantar, Naam-Divine. Devoting to Naam-meditation, they
77
WWW.AKJ.ORG
have found and envisioned countless commodities within their own

beings. It is a matter of predestined good fortune, that one meets true
Satguru. Satguru imparts teachings of initiation, Gurmantar, Chant
Divine. Then follows the proper technique of reciting Gurmantar, in
harmony with conscious awareness. Devotee on being fully equipped
gets engrossed in Divine service of Naam-meditation and is rid of
self-conceit completely. Also banished is worldly attachment. Thus
dawns Spiritual Bliss! We should offer ourselves in sacrifice unto
Satguru over and over again for His benediction of this high spirituality.
It is Gurmat that brings about internal enlightenment within of Light-
Divine and heard is the Celestial Anhad Kirtan of Pure Bliss. One gets
completely engrossed in meditation, engulfed with Light-Divine. This
is single-minded devotion of mind and body. Enjoying Nectarian-
Divine-Enlightenment, devotee holds his breath at the navel that brings
worldly desires under control. This is the Bliss of devotional Poise
and joyful Kirtan. Acquiring this high spirituality enables vision of
countless amazing sights within through super-natural sight. The nine
doors of perception are closed and opened is Tenth Door of liberation,
to enable hearing of Anhad-Shabad. Reciting Gumantar, Word of Guru,
Naam devotion induces Nectarian Bliss throughout, within body
interior. Same Naam recitation becomes automatic, producing
splendrous Glow of Naam-Jewel within.Cool Blissfulness of
Enlightenment with vibrating Naam, causes imbued body of devotees
to reflect the Divine hue. The Nectarian taste of Naam-Vibration,
Divine- Harmony defies expression. The piercing Naam-Jewel
outshines thousands of common jewels, producing illumination more
than countless suns. Worth of this most-precious Naam-Jewel, Unique,
is known only to the Gurmukh Jeweller, whose entire being is pierced
with abiding Naam-Jewel within. This is absolute Divine Truth, of
Supreme Spirituality, sought after by great sages in relentless pursuit,
without success. Awareness of real worth of Naam-Jewel, embodiment
of Highest Spirituality comes only with Naam-realization, abiding in
every pore within. The blessed one remains engrossed in reciting Naam
with every breath, without wasting a single breath. Ceaseless recitation
alone enables determination of true worth and test purity of Naam.
Reciting ‘GURU’, ‘GURU’, ‘WAHEGURU’, ‘WAHEGURU’ is the
78
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Essence seed chant of Gurbani. Repeated recitation of ‘GURU’,

‘GURU’, ‘WAHEGURU’ is Praise-Divine of ecstatic ‘WAH’, ‘WAH’
that enshrines essence of Gurbani in mind. Through constant contact
with this touch-stone of Naam, Ecstatic Naam-imbued Gurmukhs,
merge with Divine-Spirit. Gurumukh Swan birds realize Lord
Immaculate in the midst of worldliness. They become living Realized
souls, one with Lord Supreme, WAHEGURU! These Naam-imbued
beings are blessed with many amazing splendorous commodities within
their bodies that acquire golden hue. Inaccessible Jewel, Naam-
Immaculate and even Supreme Lord in full Glory comes to abide
within them. However, rare of the rarest is a Gurmukh devotee so
graced by Divine, to reach this highest Spirituality. This is the highest
Divine Gift, depicted in following Gurbani quote:

All are endowed with Naam-Jewel within. Word of Guru helps to
reveal this. True ardent seekers alone come to realize Truth and
determine its real worth. 1. I am sacrifice unto those, enshrining
Gurbani in their minds. They find Immaculate Lord in the midst
of worldliness, merging their soul into Divine-Spirit. 1. Pause.
Countless are the commodities of Divine creation within human
body. Naam-Immaculate, most precious abides as most

Waheguru Lord Supreme, is hidden within human body. A rare

Gurmukh seeker, delving in search within through Grace of Satguru, is
blessed with Divine-Realization of Glorious Being. Of course, this is
an act of Divine Grace. True is Lord, Waheguru, and true is delving in
Him. Precious Naam-devotion is the occuptaion of real worth, seeking
Divine within. My Frolicsome Lord has created wonderment of human
79
WWW.AKJ.ORG
body, yet few have explored its full worth. Awareness of Gurmat alone
may bring vast possibilities of human body into play. When body is
purged of all impurities and rendered perfectly immaculate, then
Beloved Lord, Waheguru, enshrines Himself within in Full Glory,
bestowing His Own Vision on the devotee.

My Lord abides within as Invisible Being. Grace of Guru alone
brings about Divine–Realization. True is Lord and true is

appreciate worth of human body. My Lord has created this
wonderment. Only Gurmukh devotee purifies his body of worldly
impurities. Lord then bestows His vision within immaculate body
through Grace Divine. 11. Maru M.3 [1066]
Gurmukh devotee, who enshrines Amrit-Naam in mind and drinks

deep nectarian Naam-Amrit in accordance with Gurmat through
recitation, finds all within his own human body. Meditating within, in
cave of body, in Sahaj of Spiritual Poise, is found unlimited treasure.
Incomprehensible and Fathomless Lord abides within as Invisible Being.
Divine Vision is bestowed only after ceaseless devotion by devotee to
Gurmantar and Naam inducement brings about self-effacement.
Freedom from ego opens the strong door of Dasam Duar, Tenth Door.
Precious Naam is obtained with Grace of Guru after initiation and
Gurmat teachings. Merciful Guru bestows Naam in devotee’s mind.
Gurmukh devotee blessed with deep hue and fragrance of Naam and
collyrium of True Spiritual Knowledge gets engulfed with Divine-Light
within, banishing all darkness of ignorance. His soul being has got
merged with Spirit-Divine. Thus alone mind gets self-convinced, not
by mere hearsay. The Gurumukh devotees, real yogis, meditating in
self-realized bodily cave, receive honour in Court-Divine hereafter.
Searching without, one can never find Naam-Divine, but only lost in
illusion of mirage in wilderness, suffering unnecessary self-inflicted pain.

Mortals devoid of Gurmat, delving in ignorance, lack awareness and

go astray in doubt. Lastly, making rounds of transmigration, they land
up at House of Guru to be bestowed with commodity of real essence.

one go about searching Naam without human body, one finds not
Naam but suffers untold misery in vain. However mind-ward,
ignorant blind, are without this awareness. After making rounds
of transmigration, they finally land up in House of Guru and get
bestowed with real Essence of Naam. 4. Majh M. 3 [124]

CHAPTER VIII
NATURAL MEDITATION – ALOOFNES –
CAVE OF GURU – BODYFORTRESS
The Force of Naam-recitation breath-by-breath takes the Gurmukh

devotee effortlessly into natural meditation within. The devotee
experiences inner enlightenment of engulfing Light Divine getting
engrossed in it. In this introversive meditation, Gurmukhs enjoy
awareness of inner glow and remain transfixed in constant meditation.
Gurmukh devotees, young swan-birds of spirituality, do not need
underground place for meditation, or hidden mountain caves, or even
a meditational house outside. However, undoubtedly they do seek
and wish for aloofness. Gurmukh devotees are true lovers of aloofness,
but hiding in caves and underground places etc. to remain aloof is
certainly not their concept of meditational aloofness. Their true aloofness
is found in Sangat, sitting in Guru ordained cave of Guru’s House
among like-minded devotees. Gurmat defines true aloof-being thus:
“so iekwNqI ijs irdw Qwie...”

“Aloof-being is the one, whose mind is transfixed...”
Basant M. 5 [1180]
Stability of mind thus determines Gurmat way of being aloof, without

this nothing is of avail. Pure Kirtan and recitation of Gurbani is basic
requirement of mind engrossment during sustained long periods,
‘Smagamas’. Real aloofness is acheived only if the wavering mind
finds stability. Samagam of Gurbani singing, Kirtan, is most efficacious
in controlling the mercurial mind, whether singing or listening. In such
functions, mind comes to rest and completely under control. With a
little support of Gurbani, awareness of Word-Divine engrosses mind.
Secondly, control of mind and aloofness is gained when mind is
engaged in enjoying Word-Divine. Fortunate devotee, who
successfully practices this, can remain aloof at all times, whether
walking, sitting or standing, while asleep or awake. Ambrosial hours
82
WWW.AKJ.ORG
NATURAL MEDITATION 57
of early morning are the best period for engaging mind in Word-Divine
and to enjoy bliss of spiritual aloofness. During this time, sitting at one
place and in one posture, one should enjoy awareness of Word-Divine.
This is a natural way of mind aloofness. Chief source of aloofness is
total engrossment of mind-awareness in Word-Divine and ambrosial
hours represent the most helpful period for this activity. Cool hilly
places of clean environment and natural sights also prove helpful,
enhancing the bliss of aloofness and engrossment in Shabad. However,
naturalists devoid of awareness of Shabad, remain unaffected by clime
or sight in futile search for spiritual bliss of aloofness. On the contrary
this may have adverse effect in many cases.
Even in the midst of worldly affairs, devotees of Divine awareness

enjoy a discerning taste of sweet aloofness while engaged in Naam-
Devotion with every breath, yet it falls short of the bliss of Guru’s cave
of Sadh Sangat during ambrosial hours sitting down in full concentration.
Place of meditation may not matter much, but introversion of single-
minded stability is essential for real aloofness. Piercing of inner being,
enchanted with engulfing Light-Divine, brings about ecstatic bliss of
true spiritual aloofness. Thus concentrated mind-force, under control,
finds the real engulfing aloofness within the body-cave. With engulfing
Divine-Light, invigorating nectarian Amrit imbibed within, initial place
of abiding breath at navel becomes the focus. This place in body-cave
becomes central to Natural-Meditation. The enshrined display of
Divine-Light makes this place enchantingly beautiful. The following
Gurbani quote describes this:
iesu guPw mih ieku Qwnu suhwieAw ] pUrY guir haumY Brmu cukwieAw ]
Anidnu nwmu slwhin rMig rwqy gur ikrpw qy pwvixAw ] 3 ]

Enchanting is a place in this body-cave. Accomplished Guru
destroys ego and self-doubt. Ceaselessly devoting to Naam-
divine, the imbued ones in Love-Divine find this place with grace
of Guru. 3. In devotion to Guru’s Word, one contemplates of this
wondrous body cave. Immaculate Naam and Lord Supreme abide
83
WWW.AKJ.ORG
within. Singing Divine-Virtues through charming, blissful Word-

Divine one merges with Beloved Lord to enjoy Eternal Peace. 4.
Majh M.3 [126-127]
Without realizing Satguru, mind and body are inhabited by evil thieves
and contained within is smoldering ash of doubts of blind ignorance.
Dispelled is all such filth from within on meeting Satguru. Bestowed
with Touch-Stone of Shabad Amrit, body is blessed with Spiritual
golden hue and is endowed with enchanting place of Self-Abode.
Graced by Guru, focus at the target centre place of body interior.
With concentrated mind-awareness of Word-Divine, imbued with
yearning love they engage in ceaseless Praise Divine. Constant
engrossment of mind in Divine-Word, enables devotees to flood their
entire being within with Divine-Light. Rising upward towards source
of Divine-Light, the soul being envisions Immaculate Lord,
WAHEGURU, with enlightening Naam within. Realization of Lord
within enhances their engrossment in Naam-recitation and Divine-Love
of singing Praise-Divine. Thus they come to enjoy Supreme Eternal
Bliss. It is true that initial flashes of Divine-Light and associated bliss
are confined to a specific place in body. However more and more
meditational practice, floods the entire body-interior.
Navel - Dasam Duar - Ecstasy

First place to get enlightened with divine-light is navel. The high end,
Light-house of Divine-Light is Dasam Duar. There ensues the font of
Amrit flow that starts trickling from above. The constant flow of
celestial Nectarian Amrit keeps pouring. It becomes extremely ecstatic.
Dasam Duar and flourished lotus at navel are joined with this stream
of Amrit flow. Within and without, limitless space above, enlightenment
of Naam-Amrit engulfs all, forming vast and fathomless ocean. This
forms a live enlightenment of ocean of eternal storming waves, most
ecstatic, sustainer of all life. These waves are personification of
extremely blissful tinglings of enjoyment. Extremely beautiful becomes
the body enjoying this supreme spiritual bliss of ecstatic waves of
enlightenment, sending tingling sensations. The body also becomes
84
WWW.AKJ.ORG
source of marvelous, ecstatic enjoyment of Nectarian Amrit and

indwelling Enjoyer Lord, Husband. Thus attracted, Lord always abides
within, making Love of Spiritual Enjoyment at Will. Always in oneness
with Divine Lord Husband, the body remains ever blessed bride of
Eternal Lord! As the delightful Nectarian Word-Divine causes tingling
sensations, churning the entire being, body undergoes limitless ecstasy.

Lord abiding within, human body becomes His extremely

beautiful bride. Remembering Word-Divine, bride-Divine is
always blessed by Presence of Eternal Lord, Husband. Ever
imbued with Love-Divine one is rid of all selfhood. 1. Blessed is
Bani of Accomplished Guru ! Ensuing from Divine Guru, it merges
with Divine source. 1. Pause. Body encompasses all regions,
spheres and under worlds, all creation. Body enshrines
Benevolent Lord Himself, Sustainer of all life. Remembering Naam
through Guru, body, bride of Lord, is ever blissful. 2. Lord abides
within the body, but remains incomprehensible. Mind-ward fool,
unaware of this, searches for Lord without. Contemplating
Satguru, one is always at peace and Satguru bestows vision of
Incomprehensible Lord within. 3. Contained within the body are
precious Jewels of virtues and treasures of devotion. Also
contained is entire world of nine regions, cities, shops and
shopping centres. Treasure of all the treasures, Naam-Divine, too
abides within! However this is realized contemplating Word of
Guru. 4. Lord Himself is the evaluator guiding all evaluation
within. Human mind is like most precious jewel that defies
evaluation. Naam-commodity is beyond all price and
unattainable, realized only by contemplating Guru’s teachings.
5. Guru oriented, Gurmukh alone delves into body for Divine
search, all others go astray in doubt. Only the graced one comes
to Divine-realization, all other pursuits of intellect come to
naught. Abides within Divine Fear and Love, bestowed by Grace
of Guru. 6. Abides within the body, trinity of Brahma, Vishnu
and Shiv and even Creator, Lord of all creation. Lord has created
His Own Vast Play of transmigration. Accomplished Satguru has
bestowed this vision and redemption of being through Naam-
Divine. 7. Body engaged in service of Satguru, Naam-devotion,
is beautified with Grace-divine. Without Naam-Wealth, there is
no refuge at Door-Divine and Yama disgraces such a mortal being.
Says Nanak, truly honored is the one, graced by Lord. 8.2.

Efficacious Bani of Accomplished Guru
Bani of Accomplished Guru, bestows Essence of wisdom and

efficacious is the Word, WAHEGURU. This is the Guru’s Chant,
‘Gurmantar’, orignating from accomplished Guru and finally merging
with Divine. Devotion through this accomplished Bani, devotional
meditation, alone bears fruit. This devotion in Divine-Love is efficacious
in removing filth of egoism quickly, destroying all doubt.
Disappearance of ego, renders body immaculate, of beauteous golden
hue. Saffron like, immaculate body enables devotees to envision all
the vast creation picturized within.
Beholding sight of Natural creation within human body
All Godly, natural, creation lands up in human body. All regions, worlds
and underworlds appear within. Even Lord, Sustainer of all, comes to
abide in body. Abiding within, Lord enjoys Spiritual Union with soul-
being. Imbued with Love-Divine, enjoying Spiritual Union with Lord-
Divine, body attains Eternal Bliss. Enshrining Naam, bestowed by
Guru, body comes to enshrine Lord of Naam, WAHEGURU on His
Own. Though Supreme Lord, Immanent, abides in all beings always,
but remains Invisible. In the case of Gurmukhs, Naam-Devotees, Lord
appears in all His Splendorous Glory. This appearance from within is
the transformation of invisibility to Visible-Being, that enables Gurmukh
devotees to envision Him. Other mortals cannot comprehend Divine.
Mind-ward unaware ignorant beings, unable to envision Lord within,
go astray to search for Him in wilderness. They know nothing about
state of their inner being. Nothing is found without. Unaware of Gurmat,
all delve in futile doubts. Real bliss lies in becoming Sikhs of Guru’s
House and then labour of Divine-Devotion is rewarded. All their
ventures flourish. Adopting Satguru following Gurmat tradition changes
faithless beings to the faithful of Satguru. After initiation into House of
Satguru, they must devote whole heartedly to ordained practice of
87
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Gurmantar, Naam. Then alone Satguru bestows vision of Invisible,

Incomprehensible, Immaculate Lord within their own beings. Practicing
ceaseless Naam-devotion, Gurmukh devotees are blessed with
countless jewels of virtues and Treasure of devotion in their own
interior. Enlightenment through Naam-Jewel enables them to
comprehend limitless hidden treasures. All nine regions of the world
with all its cities and market places are envisioned within. Practice of
Naam-devotion bestows Naam worth all the nine treasures and
fathomless WAHEGURU in His Splendid Glory is envisioned.
Appearing of His own Grace-Divine, Lord bestows His Own
realization. Now the mind rusted with worldliness is transformed into
immaculacy of Jewel of Golden-hue. Priceless Naam of Great value
is not found else where. This is gift of Guru’s Grace for Gurmat living.
Contemplating Guru’s teachings, living according to ordained practices
and induced by Touch-stone of Gurmantar, becoming Guru-oriented,
exploring interior through introversion, one finds real Essence of blissful
mind, with Divine inheritance. All other worldly mortals delve without
in vain. Guided by own intellect, self propelled pursuits or advised
rituals bear no fruit. Graced by Guru, blessed by His favorable Glance,
such devotees alone reach high spirituality. Godly Fear and Love of
dedication are bestowed within through benediction of Guru.
Comprehended is the real Truth within about trinity of Brahma, Vishnu
and Shiv. Knowledge dawns that Creator Lord Himself is responsible
for Divine Play of transmigration. Accomplished Guru bestows vision
of all this sight within Gurmukh devotees and redeems them through
True Naam-Divine. Blessed is the body, where churning with Naam,
ordained by Satguru goes on endlessly. This is adorned by Waheguru
Himself. None finds shelter at Door Divine without Naam in the
hereafter. The unsheltered ones are controlled and punished by Yamas.
Graced by Satguru, in His Limitless Mercy receive real honor at Door-
Divine through Naam-Wealth.
Amazing are the miracles of True Naam-Wealth. Churning with Naam

practice is an interior process and so miracles of Naam wealth are
also experienced within the interior. Breath coming in contact with
Touch-stone of Naam during Naam recitation imparts Golden hue to
88
WWW.AKJ.ORG
the body. Engulfed is the interior with Nectarian-Enlightenment of Naam

Amrit. Breathing of Naam-recitation produces tingling Nectarian-
Enlightenment as churning effect in the entire interior from breast to
navel. At times it descends below navel. This interior region serves as
the spousal bed of spirituality. Love-intoxicated soul-bride and Lover
Husband, Lord, engage in playful spiritual union through churning of
Naam, nectarian and splendorous Naam. This is extremely ecstatic
and blissful. Swinging in unison of Love, Lord and soul-bride bring
spiritual joy to climax. Every swing flourishes interior with engulfing
nectarian and blissful Naam- enlightenment. Enlightenment spreads
both within and without, bestowing unbearable ecstasy and intense
experience of flooding with Essence of Spiritual Knowledge. Lord of
All Knowledge in real union with soul-being is thus engaged in Play-
Divine of Love. Bliss of this union is constant and perpetual as destined
relationship of Oneness with Divine. Following Gurbani depicts this:

Spousal-bed of body-interior becomes blissful with Guru’s Word

predestined union. 1. Rag Suhi M. 4 [773]

Enchanted by virtuous soul-bride, Lord of Knowledge Divine
appears at the spousal-bed of body-interior. Says Nanak, thus
Lord comes to bless soul bride in Spiritual Union. 4. (1. 35.)
Aasa M. 1 [359]
The Creator Lord has enacted wonderful Play of endowing body

with everything within, including Divine-Knowledge. If a Gurmukh,
imbued with Love-Divine, undertakes to concentrate awareness on
Word-Divine, piercing his mind with Naam. Splendorous Naam-Amrit
fills interior with enlightenment and Nectarian Amrit. Soul bride
becomes immaculate and then abiding Lord comes to adorn spousal-
bed. Thus self-enlightenment attracts presence of Lord Supreme.

Majh M.3 [117]
Enlightening human body within, nectarian Naam becomes the Enjoyer

Spouse that engages body in constant enjoyment of Naam-meditation
and imparts a golden immaculacy and fragrance. Thus Naam is
responsible for establishing a wondrous Abode of enlightenment within
the body and helps in making unbearable union of enlightened soul
and Divine spirit bearable for Naam-devotee:

Engaged in Love-Divine, constant is bliss of Naam-Devotion. Lord
comes to abide within and comprehending Will-Divine, Devotee
merges with Lord. 14. Maru M.3 [1058]
At this stage of spirituality, mind reverts to its original state of Divine-

Light-Source and becomes powerful. Transformed mind of a Gurmukh
owes allegiance to Naam and Gurbani alone, to the exclusion of all
useless rituals, evil thoughts and duality of worldliness. Mind dwelling
at Dasam Duar of a Gurmukh enjoys bliss of Anhad tinkling of celestial
Music all the time. Wondrous Bliss-Eternal of complete engrossment
leaves no time for another entanglement. Even while conversing with
others, Gurmukhs remain engrossed with Naam Nectarian, just coping
up with social obligation. Deep in their minds, they remain imbued
with essence of Naam, Eternal Reality. They have no worldly interest.
State of being Love-Imbued is always pre-dominant, yearing for Divine.
In fact they abide always in abode of Self in introversion.

Naam through Guru, is a Gurmat Formless and Limitless Word. Body,

where Guru’s Word comes to abide or abides, is even more precious
than any Golden Abode. Thus abiding in a Golden body, Gurmukh
devotees live in Divine Presence, beholding Lord face to face and
remain singing Praise-Divine. They are blessed with true realization of
Beloved WAHEGURU, enjoying eternal peace.

Blessed with Guru’s Word, Naam, Gurmukh devotees make Naam-

introversion in Naam-meditation, they come face to face with Lord

Temple. Bestowed with Grace-Divine, body becomes glorious and
enchanting. Righteous living becomes fruitful with Grace-Divine of

WWW.AKJ.ORG
Contemplation of Guru Shabad as devotional practice renders body

immaculate and with inducing quality of Touch-stone and Sandal wood.
Fathomless Lord, beyond limit, Supreme and Eternal comes to abide
within human body. Bani, True and in likeness of Lord, ‘WAHEGURU’,
when imbibed with devotional practice, becomes efficacious for God-
realization, sinking Word deep in awareness. Says Gurbani:

This very human body, considered no more than a mortal frame

composed of bones, flesh and intwined by veins, becomes
immaculate and priceless fort, when inhabited by Gurmukh devotees.
These dealers of Naam, dealing only in devotional practice, come to
gather Priceless commodity of limitless Jewels, most precious within.
Naam-Treasure of Precious Jewels is found within the priceless fort,
Treasure House within. Those searching for this commodity without
the body are real insane. They are going astray like the deer searching
for musk that lies within, in the midst of bushes. Such is the fruitless
search without for a commodity enshrined within, ridden by doubt
and faithlessness.

without the body, are foolish insane beings. They are led astray
by doubt of mind-wardness, like deer searching for musk that lies

‘Business Houses’ within does not imply that body within is

compartmentalized into various business sections. When inner being
is enlightened with Divine-Light with practice of Naam-devotion, body
undergoes transformation and appears enchanting. This change is
wrought in all Naam-devotees. When the seed of Naam flourishes
within the body hamlet with practice of Naam-contemplation, then
the glow-worms enlighten within the farm of ‘Parjat’, blosoming celestial
trees. To maintain the blossoming young trees and to nourish these,
steady awareness is yoked to Shabad Word-Divine. One has to keep
at it day and night. This complete engrossment in Naam provides
body nourishment automatically.

All the play is that of magical Gurmat Naam-devotion practice. Those

who have gathered merit of Touch-Stone-like Nectarian Naam and
enlightenment of Divine-Light, their bodies come to enshrine eternal
dealing houses of Naam-Commodity. They are always engrossed in
sole occupation of Naam-Contemplation and thus attain highest

beautified is the body fort. Why should one forsake such
Benevolent Lord even for a Single breath or even while ingressing
food? Invisible and Incomprehensible Lord is realized through
Guru’s Word, I am sacrifice unto Satguru. I shall make offering
of my head to Satguru, if it so pleases Him. Throw Benevolent
Glance on me O’Lord, Benefactor! Thus Nanak may merge into

94
WWW.AKJ.ORG
On meeting Touch-Stone of Shabad-Guru, an egoist being, like rusted

useless iron gets transformed into gold-like, spiritual being. Shabad-
Guru, ‘WAHEGURU’, Naam Touch-Stone is efficacious to enlighten
interior with Light-Divine through Alchemic action of ceaseless breath
by breath practice of Naam-devotion. This enlightenment of interior
helps to unite soul with Spirit Divine within itself. Thus body fort is
rendered enchanting with beauty, both within and without due to
enlightenment with Light-Divine, Lord Supreme abiding within. How
can one forsake Splendorous Lord, abiding within beauteous body
fort? Lord is present with every breath and intertwined with being in
every pore like warp and woof. It is through Word-Chant, Gurmantar,
and its inducing ability that Invisible and Incomprehensible Lord is
realized within the body fort and comes to abide eternally. One should
be sacrifice millions of times unto Satguru, Blessed Guru Nanak-
Dasmesh-Sri Guru Granth Sahib! Making an offering of one’s own
severed head is also a humble offering indeed. At His command one
should unhesitatingly offer oneself for burning in fire. It is unique gift of
Satguru that He has bestowed Divine-Realization within of Invisible
and Incomprehensible Lord and got devotee’s mind and body merged
with Divine!

CHAPTER IX
COURT-YARD OF THE BODY INTERIOR
Only the one bestowed with knowledge from Satguru has real insight
of the body interior. When Lord graces human frame with Divine
Presence, then Real OWNER of Body-Temple enthrones Himself
within its courtyard in full Glory. Says Gurbani:
Gru dru mMdru jwxY soeI ] ijsu pUry gur qy soJI hoeI ]
kwieAw gV mhl mhlI pRBu swcw scu swcw qKqu rcwieAw ]12]
Awareness of Body Temple within and its Door is gained by the
one who is so graced by Satguru. Lord True Comes to abide as
Real Owner of Body Fort. Eternal throne is established therein by
Eternal Lord. 12. Maru M.1 [1039]
Within body there is Abode-Divine and Eternal Throne of the Lord,

yet awareness of this Divine Secret is bestowed on a rare destined
Gurmukh with Divine Grace. Enshrined within this Divine Temple is
Limitless Divine Light. Experience of visioning Light Divine is limited
to special devotees of Divine as highest Divine Favour. This Vision of
Enlightenment within is Divine way of calling the special devotee closest
to Divine Presence and confer Divine-Realization. Says Gurbani:
kwieAw mhlu mMdru Gru hir kw iqsu mih rwKI joiq Apwr ]

Within body is Abode-Divine, that enshrines Limitless Divine Light,
Supreme Soul. Says Nanak, Gurmukh is ushered into this Abode-
Divine. Thus is realized Lord through Grace-Divine. 4. (5.)
Malar M.1 [1256]
The above description of body interior does not imply that Lord of
Unlimited Splendor and Glory is confined merely to a particular body
Fort in Abode-Divine. Abiding Lord is also Transcendent Being,
without differentiation. The Gurmukh, beholder of WAHEGURU within
is exposed to the vast, unlimited expanse of His Glory, extending to all
96
WWW.AKJ.ORG
COURT-YARD OF THE BODY INTERIOR 71
universal creation without any barrier. This is astounding experience

of Divine Limitlessness. The Glow or Divine Light originating from
Dasam Duar merges with Nectarian Ocean like vastness and thus
experience of body interior is limitlessly extended outside, to merge
with the vibrant boundless ocean of Divine Light. Every vibrant ray of
Light-Divine produces unbearable ecstasy in soul bride, enjoying
Spiritual Union with Divine. There is onset of most wondrous unstruck
Ethereal music. All the other nine body-openings and the evil foes,
attacking through these to rob spirituality, yamas as toll collectors, are
all shut out and rendered powerless. Opened is the Tenth Door of
Dasam Duar, wherein ceaseless Ethereal music is heard and individual
soul gets engrossed in Nectarian Divine-meditation without break.
Says Gurbani:
AMimRq rsu siqgurU cuAwieAw ] dsvY duAwir pRgtu hoie AwieAw ]

Nectarian Amrit starts dripping with Satgurus’s Grace and
revealed thus is Dasam Duar. Exalting Ethereal Music of Anhad
Shabad is heard there and individual soul easily merges with Divine
in Equipoise, highest Spiritual State. 6. Maru Solhe M.4 [1069]
The State of Spiritual Equipoise, Sahaj, is thus bestowed. However,

this blessing is reserved for such worthies:

Divinely graced, destined devotees engage in ceaseless
recitation of Naam, ‘Gur Gur ...’ Without Grace of Satguru, none
succeeds spiritually. It therefore is imperative to be devoted to
Guru. 7. Maru Solhe M.4 [1069]
The non-believers in Guru have no place in spiritual domain. They

have no awareness about all that goes on within the body fort.

All Prevalent Lord abides within this body fort, however
arrogant fool enjoys not Godly Presence. The Benevolent Lord,
Merciful to the meek bestows His Grace and thus one comes to
enjoy Nectarian Word of Guru, Naam abiding within. 1. O’Lord!
Divine Praise is Sweet with engrossed contemplation of Guru. 1.
Pause. Lord is Incomprehensible and Inaccessible, but meeting
Emissary Guru, Divine is experienced very close. Those who
enshrine Guru’s Words in their hearts, enjoy the Spiritual feast of
Nectarian Gurbani. 2. Stone-hearted is a mind-ward non-
believer and his inner being is full of blackness of deceit. One can
never befriend a snake even with offering of lot of milk. Snake
can only bring out poison. 3. O’ Lord! Bestow the boon of meeting
Saintly Guru, repeated recitation of Guru’s Word is like ingressing
His potion antidote to inner poison. Slave Nanak is at the service
of Guru and the Saintly company turns inner bitterness into
nectarian sweetness. 4. 9. 23. 61. Gaurri Poorbi M.4 [171]
The Source of inner Enlightenment, Prevalent Lord abides within the

body fort, yet only Gurmukhs graced by Guru envision Him and enjoy
the bliss. Foolhardy beings neither experience inner enlightenment nor
enjoy the ensuing bliss. Abiding in Gurmat, Gurmukh devotees are
Divinely Blessed. They are bestowed with Panacea of Guru’s Chant
at Guru’s Door and they devote ceaselessly to this Word Divine, Naam.
Thus blessed with Alchemy of self-inducing Word, they enjoy Naam-
Nectar within. Engrossed in singing Praise-Divine bestows Nectarian
taste of Divine Word and brings one close to Divine Presence. This
intervening mediation of Satguru through Word-Divine is responsible
for envisioning of the Inaccessible and Incomprehensible Lord within.
Those abiding by Guru-ordained words, Gurmat, in thought, word
98
WWW.AKJ.ORG
and deed and believing in their efficacy to bring about serenity are
blessed with Nectarian feast with Grace of Guru. The mind-ward
mortals can never dream of this. They are stonehearted, unmoved by
spiritual thought and thus unworthy of Spiritual Bliss. They have their
interior beings blackened and hardened. It is like feeding snake with
nectarian milk and yet poison alone issues out. There is no remedy to
overcome this blackened hardness except Grace Divine and meeting
Accomplished, Saintly Satguru. Thus bestowed is the Alchemic
Panacea of Guru’s chant. Reciting Guru’s chant, Divine Naam, all
poison is gone! Routinely reciting Guru’s chant at all times, wards off
evil of poison from one’s mouth permanently. This methodology is
associated with earnest faith in House of The Guru and accepting
initiation into Gursikhi. Living in Godly Presence at all times through
ceaseless recitation of Guru’s Word with concentrated mind and body,
every pore of the body as serves so many tongues, entire being would
feel the vibration of Naam. Ended is all the evil poison replaced by
sweetness of Nectarian Naam.
What a Sweetness! It is the most exalting Bliss!! Such is the Alchemic

transformation with Panacea of Naam-meditation. It bestows Love
of Divine, Spiritual Bliss, union with Supreme Lord and thus Naam-
devotee becomes beloved bride blessed in union with Lord Husband.
The Play of Spiritual ecstatic Union of Virtuous, beautiful soul bride,
in harmony of Word Divine and consciousness, takes place at the
Sahaj stage of Spirituality. Light-Divine, WAHEGURU, is actually
Visioned face to face eternally with accompaniment of Ethereal music
of Anhad Shabad. This is the Supreme Bliss of Naam-meditation!
This is ideal contemplation of Lord Supreme, unique to the House of
Guru Nanak. Gurbani in Sri Guru Granth Sahib is expression of this
Divine Contemplation. One, who hearkens this and practices in life,
successfully swims across worldly ocean. Such a one is no more
subjected to rebirth. All that is ended for him and he finds eternal
refuge in Divine! Says Gurbani:

Contemplation of Guru’s Word! Blessed is soul-bride in Loving

Divine wisdom. One, who listens and practices Naam in life,
crosses horrid ocean of worldliness. No more is rebirth of
transmigration for such a one. He attains eternal merger with
Lord! 4. 2. Rag Aasa M.5 [370]
BOUNTY FROM GURU

All the Gurmukh, Naam-imbued, blessed soul-brides, indulging in
playful spiritual Union with Lord Husband, enjoy Ethereal jingling Music
of Anhad Shabad from Dasam Duar in ecstatic bliss. One blest by
WAHEGURU, Lord True, with His vision is also transformed from
unfortunate, separated bride into the blessed, beloved bride of Lord
Husband. Such a one, born in House of the Satguru is rid of rebirths
of transmigration. Bestowed is the bounty of initiation into Gurmat
Naam with birth in Guru’s House. This spiritual initiation of Naam
enlightenment transforms being of devotee into enchanting adornment
as beautiful spiritual bride, rid of all fear of transmigration. From a
worldly being one is transformed into self-effaced being, unattached
to worldliness, devoted only to Satguru as Spiritual Parent in thought,
word and deed. Wedded is this soul-bride, through Guru, to Beloved
Lord Supreme, Husband. Spiritual union with Divine is ever blissful
and ecstatic, felt throughout the being and this Divine Play is perpetuated.
The other devotee friends are amazed by such astounding
transformation. All the burning of endless desire is quenched and sense
of fulfillment comes to pervade. Darkness of ignorance is shed away
after Enlightenment of knowledge bestowed by Guru. Lamp of Gurmat
is so bright within, that enlightened is the devotee’s interior and exterior
with intensity of brightness equivalent to countless suns. The spread of
100
WWW.AKJ.ORG
enlightenment is limitlessly vast and heard too is the enchanting soft

jingle of Ethereal Music of Anhad Shabad from Dasam Duar, adding
further to unbearable ecstasy and Bliss. Such is the all-inclusive,
complete rich bounty of Accomplished Guru. The one thus Blest in
Spiritual Union with Lord Supreme becomes blissful to behold. Even
a glance of this Blessed one is gratifying and propitious. One blessed
with Satguru’s bounty of Naam is in fact blest with treasures of all
virtues. One, united with Loving Lord Husband, becomes serene in
body and mind and is ever engaged automatically in Naam-meditation.
Every pore of the body is in bliss of flourishment. Graced by Divine
Presence Gurmukh brides are sought after for dust of their feet by
ardent seekers. As illustrated in the following Gurbani quote, depicting
similar situation, every such blest soul bride is ever thirsting for more
and more of Love-Divine:

My burning endless desire is quenched and all is fulfilled. With
enlightenment all darkness of ignorance is dispelled. Ecstatic is
the wondrous Ethereal music of Anhad Shabad. Such is the fully
satiating bounty of Accomplished Guru. 2. Ever blissful is the
very sight of the one, graced with vision of Lord Supreme. One
blessed with Naam by Satguru comes to possess all treasures of
101
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Gurmat Virtues. 3. Meeting one’s Lord, body and mind are filled
with Serenity through Naam-recitation with all the being. Says
Nanak, devotees, beloved of Divine, are sought after by ardent
seekers for dust of their feet. 4. 14. 27. Bhairo M.5 [1143]
In the foregoing Shabad, referred Anhad Naad - Ethereal automatic

Music wondrous and ecstatic, is the most Satiating Bounty that only
Accomplished Guru can bestow. Such is the House of Guru Nanak
alone and none other. All fake gurus, devoid of Gurmat, shall soon
lose their deceitful self-conceit. Gurmukhs have to forego all worldly
pleasures abiding by ordained discipline. Says Gurbani:

Gurmukh devotee gives up all attachment and pleasures.
Gurmukh’s mind is ever awake in Godly pursuit, of ceaseless
devotion. Listening to Ethereal, unstruck music of Anhad, he is
totally engrossed in Contemplation of Word-Divine with ardent
Faith. Realizing Self, Gurmukh fully devotes to Service of One
Formless Lord. 7. Aasa M.1 [415]
Tireless devotion goes into realizing the complete objective of

spirituality and to attain full status as Gurmukhs. They have to shun all
music other than Gurbani Kirtan. They give up all pleasures as unsavory
except the amazing, ecstatic bliss of Naam-Nectar. As householders,
they indulge not in worldly attachments and pleasures. They have no
taste for pleasure of cinema shows or eating in hotels and worldly
enjoyment. Completely withdrawing from all distracting pleasures, they
fully devote to loving-devotion and performance of good deeds day
and night with all their concentration and might. Nothing worldly is of
any interest. Thus they become complete renouncers and introverts
rather then extroverts, looking forward to Divine Grace, bestowing
experience of Anhad Shabad. Listening to Anhad Shabad, they become
True believers and Contemplators of Divine Word. Realizing Self and
Divine-Spirit, they become abiding followers of One-Formless Being
in Complete devotion.

CHAPTER X
PLAY AT DASAM DUAR
The place, destined for realizing Self and Divine Spirit and where first
glimpse of Divine Light is held, is a Fort within human body, almost
inaccessible to common mortal beings. This inaccessible magical Fort
can be reached only by special Gurmukh devotees, recognized by the
Guru. These are the ones, who have devoted limitlessly to Naam
devotion. The heavy Door of this Inaccessible Abode opens in their
body interior to instantly flood the being with Divine Light with the
intensity of lightening. When Effulgent Lord Supreme Comes to abide
within the Fort, the lightening like flooding light that ensues is extremely
blissful and flourishing beyond description. When the soul being is
engrossed in meditation of Gurmat Naam, rid is the one of suffering
with aging and death. Gone is the dark ignorance of doubt and fear.
Mortals lost in glamour of worldliness and its attachment of glitter are
lost in false love. They may make a show of fake devotion in singing
Divine Creator’s praise, yet they are drenched in self-conceit. Their
deceitful devotion can never lead to Anhad Shabad of
inaccessible Divine Play, even in dream. Renouncers of caste and
creed and selfish greed, who devote only to True loving devotion of
Benevolent Creator and Spirit Divine, are genuine practitioners of
ceaseless Naam-meditation. When Lord Supreme is enshrined within
in full Effulgent Glory, these Naam-engrossed devotees are blessed
with His Vision. These rare Gurmukhs, destined through Grace Divine
alone hear the jingling Ethereal Music of Anhad Shabad. The above is
fully depicted in the following Gurbani quote:

Inaccessible and very hard to approach is the Fort within human

body, where Lord, Divine-Spirit, abides. There Shines the Effulgent
Light-Divine. This lightening like brightness is very blissful in
the Abode of Effulgent Lord of Universe, Ever so Young. 1. The
mortal engrossed in loving devotion of Naam-Divine is rid of
fear of old age and death and gone is all his doubt. 1. Pause. One
delving in caste and creed is only faking in Divine-devotion and
singing, all in self-conceit. Where Lord abides, heard there is
sweet tingling of Ethereal music of Anhad Shabad. 2.

Lord is Creator of all spheres and regions, as also the Destroyer
of all three Worlds, three mythological gods and all mortals of
three worldly qualities. Invisible and Inaccessible Lord, Cherisher
of world, is pervading all the hearts, yet none can, discern His
Secret Chant. 3. Like fragrance in a flower and pollen dust in the
lotus, Naam Chant abides in the flourished heart, where
Waheguru, Lord of all wealth and beauty, is enshrined. 4.
Pervading everywhere, below and high above, in Sky, Divine-
Light enlightens Sphere of Void at Dasam Duar. This
enlightenment outshines sun and moon, where Primordial,
Immaculate Lord, Effulgent abides in Bliss. 5. Know that One
104
WWW.AKJ.ORG
PLAY AT DASAM DUAR 79
Lord pervades everywhere throughout Universe and also in mortal

being. Purify thyself by bathing in His Mansrover-like in-
dwelling Lake of Naam-Divine. Thus eagerly contemplating
merger into Him in Oneness, one transcends all sin and piety, to
remain Immaculate Being. 6. Caste and creed, heat of sorrow or
shade of cool peace are absent there. No other way except by
taking refuge in Guru can one gain access there. Once one attains
this state of Void and Sahaj of Equipoise, sense of sameness gets
perpetuated eternally. 7. If one knows that Lord is enshrined
within, whatever one speaks is Word-Divine. If Effulgent Naam
is enshrined within permanently through Naam-meditation, says
Kabir, such devotee crosses worldly ocean. 8. 1.
Bhairo Kabir Ji [1162]
All the regions and spheres of the universe in its vastness are inhabited
by three qualities of worldliness, known as Rajo, Tamo and Sato.
Bodily eyes, constituted of five elements cannot envision the Creator
Lord in this universe of three qualities. Naturalists are engrossed only
in the vast creation of these three qualities. In this visible creation,
physical eyes are unable to envision Creator Lord. Only when these
eyes, blind of dark ignorance, attain super-natural Vision through
Alchemic effect of contact with Satguru’s Word-Guru, first glimpse of
Supreme Effulgent Lord is experienced within one’s own being. This
is followed by flooding effulgence from within body interior that enables
vision of the Effulgent Lord and all His Vast creation with Super-
natural eyes. The light emanating from human heart merges with
extending Divine Light all over Sky through Dasam Duar. Inner
enlightenment of being with Divine-Light is a Boon, bestowed by Guru
through Chant of WAHEGURU. There is no other way to it. It is only
the magic of enshrined ‘Chant’ bestowed by Grace of Guru! This
magical Power brings to experience many a wondrous astounding
events. There ensues an ecstatic fragrance from within, akin to famous
‘Kasturi’ in the interior of deer. The fragrant Flower within is ever in
bloom and there is miraculous supreme essence from within. Then
there is sweet smell of ‘Karah Prasad’, holy pudding of five elements
(flour, sugar, Ghee, water and fire) pleasing to mind and heart. This is
105
WWW.AKJ.ORG
experienced even before opening of Dasam Duar. Ceaseless recitation

of Gurbani brings about this Alchemic event and then ensues Nectarian
Blissful enlightenment. Thus engrossed soul comes to abide blissfully
in Lord Supreme, within one’s own heart, merging with Divine-Lotus-
Feet! At the navel in Anhad stage, Lotus of radiant petals comes to
flourish, brought into bloom with breath by breath meditation in heart.
This is a sure sign of the forthcoming enshrinement of Lord,
‘WAHEGURU’. Devotee reciting Naam with all his being and blessed
with enlightened Lotus of twelve petals, gets encompassed by Divine-
Light all around, within and without, down below and high above.
This direct experience of enlightenment and engrossed meditational
state is experienced in the sphere of void of Divine-Light. Treading on
Path of Gurmat, devotees attain the highest spiritual goal in the
Enlightened Sphere of Void.
Sphere of Void
Sphere of Void is devoid of any volition and vacillations of mind’s
way-wardness and mind becomes immaculately free. Thus the name
‘Void’. However it is flooded with bright Light-Divine. The intensity
of this Light is more than countless suns put together. There is no Sun
or moon in this sphere to outshine the prevailing Light. Primordial
Lord, Immaculate, Alone enjoys there in Bliss, Shedding His Own
Effulgence. Source of this Bliss Supreme of Sphere of Void, Immaculate
Lord is Immanent in every being (navel to Void of Dasam Duar).
Though present in all beings, yet the experience is gained only by
Gurmukh devotees through Panacea of Gurmat Naam and Super-
natural Vision bestowed thereby. All other mortals remain unaware of
this. In this purifying Enlightenment, ocean-like, Gurmukh Swan-birds
enjoy bathing of engrossed Naam-meditation.
Meaning of Recitation, ‘sohM sO’ - ‘Sohung so’

The identity of devotee, personification of Naam through ceaseless
practice, and the Lord of Naam merge together in Oneness (The
Lord, Named One and the Naam). Thus devotee comes to recite
106
WWW.AKJ.ORG
‘Sohun so’ ‘sohM so’ i.e. With Sameness of identity, Naam is

WAHEGURU and WAHEGURU is ‘WAHEGURU’ chant. This is
the accepted Foundation. It does not imply that ‘sohM so’ is the accepted
‘Chant’ for recitation. The Immaculate Lord is beyond the pale of
acts of piety or sin. In sphere of Void, Abode-Divine there is none
equal to Guru - WAHRGURU, Lord Supreme. O’Lord Supreme!
Highest of the High is Thy Status, beyond reckoning. Only His
Presence is the Universal Refuge.
vfI hU vfw Apwru qyrw mrqbw ]

Limitless, Highest of the high is Thy Status, O’Lord! Many are
Thy astounding Plays in variety. 18. Ramkali Ki Var M.5 [965]
All Powerful, Lord Supreme Stages Variety of Plays as He Wills.

There is none as His rival or equal. The blessed devotee, once
engrossed in Love-Divine, enjoys the Bliss eternally in Equipoise
abiding in Sphere of Void. Ended is his cycle of rebirths of
transmigration. He is totally merged in Bliss of Anhad in Void of
Equipoise. In the midst of worldly distraction, he remains focussed on
jingle of Anhad shabd alone. This Spirituality of highest State is reached
with the Ladder of Gurmantar and devotee enshrining Naam-Light-
Divine is fully liberated by crossing horrid worldly ocean. Accomplished
Satguru, Guru Nanak Sahib’s House alone has the Capacity for other
worldly, Spiritual marvels and Gurmukh-devotees can perform and
envision magical events through direct experience. Those blessed with
Priceless Gurmantar bounty, have no need for further outside seeking.
They search not Lord outside nor do they have faith in ritualistic
practices of others. Satguru has graced them with Vision of Divine
within their own beings.
They remain ecstatic after this Spiritual direct experience, most

wondrous! This event engrosses them Completely ever after, with
compelling introversion of mind and enjoying internal Bliss. Where is
the question of any more seeking out-side? Having been blessed by
saintly Satguru, Gurmukh, Guru-filled devotees, have not only realized
107
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Supreme Lord within their own beings, but have also acquired the
boon that subsequent to their own direct experience, they can help
others with same experience of envisioning Him and describe the
Indescribable Lord. Drunk with most amazing and blissful Nectarian
experience of Divine, they cry out in ecstasy to affirm their continuing
engrossment and Blissfulness. They hear Anhad Shabad at Dasam
Duar and trickling of Nectarian flow of Naam-Amrit from there is
most satiating, ending all other desires. They have come to possess
the wondrous bounty of ‘Unlimited Treasure’. The gushing Source of
Amrit is activated within eternally. Having grasped Holy Feet of Satguru
in tight grip within their hearts, in loving devotion, their unbridled minds
come under control to abide within in Divine engrossment. Now
Nectarian Naam Amrit abounds within while they are blessed with
Exalted Spirituality of Sahaj. Opened is the door of
Enlightenment, banishing all self-doubt, while face to face with Lord
within. Says Gurbani:

Priceless Jewel-Naam! Obtained not at any price, this is bestowed
their continuing engrossment and Blissfulness. They hear Anhad Shabad
108
WWW.AKJ.ORG
through Grace of Guru. 1. Pause. Invisible and Inaccessible Lord

Supreme, though Indescribable is yet described with Guru’s
Blessing. Ethereal music of Anhad Shabad is heard at Dasam
Duar, where from trickles Naam-Amrit. 2. Limitless is this
Inexhaustible Treasure and all burning of desires is quenched.
With loving devotion of Guru, unbridled mind is controlled and
obtained is Nectarian Naam. 3. With attainment of Sahaj of
Spirituality, mind is fully tamed. Says Nanak, Guru has
banished all doubt and thus Lord comes to abide in Abode-
Divine, within. 4..3.12. Maru M.1 [1002]
Those who are rid of all doubt with Guru’s Grace, are blessed with
experience of the Play of Abode-Divine within and abiding Lord at
Dasam Duar. However, truly faithful Gursikhs, with firm faith in Gurbani,
Revealed Word-Divine, even without direct experience, cannot deny
Truth of Anhad Shabad. They only devote more and more ardently
to Naam-devotion and one destined day get blessed with their own
experience of this Divine Play, most wondrous. Thereafter they enjoy
the Bliss as described herein:

Recluse mind abides in human body of six centers. Divine Word’s

with Eternal Naam, Guru’s Word. 1. O’mortal! Peace lies in Divine
devotion. With Guru’s blessing one begets Divine Love and thus
one merges with Naam-Divine in engrossment. 1. Pause. ... Anhad
Shabad is heard perpetually at Abode-Divine. Gurmukh can
comprehend Eternal Lord’s Play, only after knowing Word-Divine.
109
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Lord Supreme is Immanent Soverign and yet Aloof. 7. Mind is

engrossed in meditation of Void in Sahaj, state of Equipoise.
Abandoning self-conceit and greed, is realized the One Lord. The
devotee with complete Faith in Guru, through effacement of
duality, comes to merge with Lord Divine. 8. 3.
Ramkali M.1 [903-04]
Abiding in the mortal human frame, thirsting for vision-Divine, the being
engages in breath by breath Naam-Devotion that is both ‘Comforting’
and ‘Fulfilling’ like enjoyable Swing. It is this bodily abode wherein
the yearning Soul seeking Divine, engages in meditational engrossment.
The pull of Naam-Force invokes through awareness in Word-Divine,
tinkling music of Anhad Shabad, Ethereal and nectarian, within body
interior. The mind, engrossed in this Sweetness of Bliss, goes in deep
meditation. Thus is established the Truth of Gurbani in foregoing quote.
The faith in Alchemic Efficacy of Naam is further strengthened,
chanting Naam more ardently. Thus is obtained real Bliss of Divine-
devotion. Initiation at Guru’s Door and devotional practice of Guru’s
Chant, bring about flourishment of individual Spirit and enjoyment of
Nectarian-Naam-Amrit. The devotee gets engrossed in ecstatic bliss
of Divine-Contemplation.
Merging into Naam-Divine

It is here at this stage, that devotee merges into Naam Divine and
direct envisioning of Lord of Naam. Thus also established is Oneness
of Naam and Named-Divine. Enjoying this High State, Gurmukh
devotees hear from their Dasam Duar constant Music of Anhad Shabad.
This is how Incomprehensible Lord is comprehended by Gurmukh
devotees alone. They have come to appreciate the Secret Power of
Naam-devotion. Transcendent Lord comes to abide within them. The
devotees then remain engrossed in deep meditation, transcending all
effects of destiny, desire and thought, in region of void and in Equipoise.
Ego, avarice and evil thought are completely banished. Merged are
the Contemplator, Contemplation and the Contemplated Divine into
Oneness. This is the experience of sameness of Lord, WAHEGURU,
110
WWW.AKJ.ORG
and the Guru’s Chant, ‘WAHEGURU’. Word-Divine becomes Guru

and mind’s awareness of rhythm, its constant recitation engrosses
devotee, intermingling like warp and woof. All sense of duality is
completely gone. Transcendent and Immaculate, Lord Supreme alone
pervades everywhere in every pore, in heart and in the Void of Dasam
Duar.
Becoming ardent faithful from a non-believer, a Gursikh of Satguru

wins all the glory in its wake. A mortal is transformed from a worldly
extrovert to a spiritually seeking introvert. Complete Divine-Devotion
comes through transcending all worldliness of attachment and doubt.
It is then alone, that flourishment of Divine-devotion leads to perpetual
listening to Ethereal jingle of Blissful Anhad Shabad, that is completely
engrossing and one abides at Dasam Duar with full spiritual awareness
and reaches State of Equipoise, Sahaj:
“iPir Dwqu n lwgY Awie ]” qy “hir isau rhY smwie ]”

‘Thereafter one seeks no more without’ and is ‘Ever united with
Lord in Oneness’. Gujri M.3 [490]
In Equipoise of Spirituality all the inexhaustible nine treasures, Naam-

Treasure, become accessible. No matter how much one spends, gives
freely out of Naam-Treasure, never is there a shortage. All the eighteen
supernatural powers are at one’s beck and call. This is the bounty of
abiding in Abode of Self at Dasam-Duar that follows naturally. Anhad
Shabad, most elating is always heard there. One is ever engrossed in
Divine-meditation of the Fourth State, Says Gurbani:
siqgur imilAY aultI BeI nv iniD Kricau Kwau ]

ATwrh isDI ipCY lgIAw iPrin inj Gir vsY inj Qwie ]

Meeting Satguru mind is transformed into introvert and from
worldliness to intensive Divine-Devotion. Thus one is able to access
in-exhaustible Divine-Provisioning of all the nine treasures. All
the eighteen super-natural powers are at one’s beck and call, while
abiding at Abode of Self at Dasam Duar. There one always listens
111
WWW.AKJ.ORG
to highly elating Anhad shabd, that engrosses elated mind in deep

Divine-Meditation. Sri Rag ki Var M.3 [91]
Gurmukhs alone tread this spiritual path of highest attainment. No

obstacle can come in their way to Door of Abode-Divine and abiding
there. All along in their progress, they continue singing Praise-Divine.
Never do they slacken in their spiritual endeavor, marching ahead
always! They need no rest in their eagerness of Divine yearning.
Enshrining Naam in their hearts, they are ever lost in Naam
Contemplation. They are always tuned to Ethereal Music of Anhad
from Dasam Duar. In Court-Divine they are well received and
honoured. Says Gurbani:

Dasam Duar and there Gurmukhs are adorned with honour. 3.
Sri Rag M.4 [42]
True elation of wonderment is experienced there with real Blissful

Ethereal Anhad music. Says Gurbani:

CHAPTER XI
GURMAT ANHAD SHABAD IS DISTINCT
FROM ANHAD SHABAD OF YOGA
In State of Complete engrossment, singing Guru’s Amrit-Bani is

efficacious to lead one to highest spirituality of Sahaj, and listening to
Ethereal Anhad Shabad. In fact Gurbani’s Very Source is Anhad of
Divine Revelation that proceeds to merge with Divine-Source.
Uninterrupted Kirtan of Revealed Gurbani attunes devotees, engrossed
in Naam-meditation, to Tinkle of Ethereal Anhad. In accordance with
Gurmat, this is Perfect Kirtan heard through elating Ethereal Music of
Anhad that is Eternal. In Gurmat, Shabad does not mean mere sounds
as is commonly known. Gurmat singing and listening of Shabad means
listening and singing of Gurbani Shabad only. It is this same Gurbani
that is heard as Soft elating Music of Anhad Shabad at Dasam Duar.
Uninterrupted listening of Gurbani, uninterrupted contemplation of Gur-
Shabad-Naam and perfect Bliss of Gurbani Kirtan are the only three
practices conducive to listening Anhad Shabad. Yogis of faith other
than Gurmat struggle for listening to mere Sounds. Hathh Yoga’s Anhad
Sounds are far superior to buzzing sounds of Radha Soamis, but still
far below the Gurmat Standard. These can be heard even before
opening of Dasam Duar. Gurmat Sahaj Yogis have no interest in listening
to such Sounds, though these can be easily accessible to them like
Super-natural powers of ‘Ridhis’ and ‘Sidhis’. Engrossed in bliss of
wondrous ‘taste of Nectarian Anhad, Gurmukh imbued devotees find
these other sounds unsavory that hold no appeal for them.
It so happened, that one Gurmukh friend confided to me, that he

hears ‘Anhad-Shabad’. The sounds were heard very clearly after he
started Naam-meditation in Sangat, with other devotees. He sought
to confirm genuineness of his experience by hearing of my own similar
experience. I queried about the nature of the sounds heard. Knowing
me to be his confidant friend, he explained without reservation in detail.
Mostly it was very sweet playing of flute and sounding of a gong.
114
WWW.AKJ.ORG
GURMAT ANHAD SHABAD IS DISTINCT 89
Cymbals and conchshell sounds were not heard yet. There is occasional
perception of cloud-thunder, though not quite clearly. To his surprise,
I told him that I had no such experience. He got disappointed due to
lack of confirmation that he had sought. It would imply that his
experience could be mere figment of imagination. However, he was
stating what he believed were truly real sounds. I too never doubted
his truthfulness. To probe further, I asked for more details from him.
It is then that he told about his reading books on mesmerism and
practicing Yoga, taught in the books. He would place cardboard
marked with black roundel in front and fix his gaze on it. He had read
about the above named, five Sounds in the books that were interpreted
as Anhad Shabad. He disclosed that prior to his initiation into Gurmat
Naam, all his meditational efforts were fruitless. After his initiation into
Naam also he continued to fix his gaze on the marked black roundel,
while reciting Nit Nem Banis, Aasa–Di-Var and Sukhmani Sahib.
Naam and Bani proved to be efficacious in stabilizing his thoughts and
he could now hear the sounds of his craving that he prized so much.
Meditation during Ambrosial morning hours also included this craving.
He was thrilled on first sound of music of flute and confided to me,
“Here, Sir! I have attained the blessing of Anhad Shabad with Glory
of Naam.” He kept asking me whether I too heard ‘Anhad Shabad’
with my long experience of Naam-Meditation. However I told him
that I had no experience of his description. I asked him whether his
experiences include Nectarian taste of Naam Amrit along with inner
enlightenment of Divine Spirit. He replied in negative. This confirmed
to me that in absence of the Gurmat signs of opening of Dasam Duar,
his hearing of sounds was not in conformity with Anhad Shabad of
Gurmat. These must be of some preliminary lower stage. One who
has still to experience Nectarian taste of Naam Amrit, the Lotus at
navel has still to flourish and Enlightenment of Spirit-Divine within is
absent, cannot have Bliss of Ethereal Anhad Shabad. However even
the basic experience of musical sounds appeared to be blessing of
Gurmantar, Guru’s Chant. Believing every word of my friend’s
experience I took my thought away for my evening meditation of inner
flourishment of Nectarian-Effulgent Naam for a while and took my
awareness little higher for survey. Lo! I could hear distinctly the five
115
WWW.AKJ.ORG
musical sounds that my friend had described. These are mere musical
sounds, playing eternally, yet these lack in comparative Bliss of inner
flourishment. Engrossment in Nectarian flow of Naam-Amrit within is
far more Blissful than tinkling of the faint musical sounds. I had not
delved into these earlier so I cannot say at what stage these first
appeared. Breaking off from this new discovery, I ran to my friend. I
confirmed the truth of his experience with my own hearing of the sounds
of five organs. I refrained from saying anything that might discourage
him, yet I clearly and vehemently told him that fixing thought on exterior
objects does not behoove meditators of Gurmat Naam. Such a practice
saps the Spiritual energy that would otherwise be utilized in inner
flourishment and experience of Nectarian-Effulgence of Naam within.
At the most, external concentration would have converted appearance
of Black ‘Roundel’ to illumined white spot. He immediately agreed to
this experience, but insisted, “Sir! Is this is a mean achievement”? I
replied, “Viewed, in Gurmat, diversion of thought is a losing
proposition during meditation. The Enlightenment that was to be
visioned within may have fleeting, minor reflection outside. After a
while it is dark again. At the most the illumined Spot would dance
about like a moth. Such indulgence is not fruitful for spiritual progress.
Gurmat Anhad, Anhad-Kirtan of Gurbani will be missed and become
far fetched.” The personal experiences talked about between two
friends, treading the path of spirituality bring out:
1. Around the Divine play at Dasam Duar, there are other

experiences.
2. True ‘Anhad Shabad’ is only heard after opening of Dasam
Duar.
Some people infer wrongly on hearing of mere sounds, that Dasam

Duar has opened. Lovers of Gurbani Kirtan are not content with mere
play of musical organs. Those, who are used to spiritual nourishment
of Kirtan alone and sounding of Naam, are elated by Anhad Kirtan
only at Dasam Duar, Inaccessible region. They care not, nor get
fascinated by sheer instrumental music.
116
WWW.AKJ.ORG
91
CHAPTER XII
SUPERB SHABAD (PANCH SHABAD)
Gurmat does not recognize instrumental music of five organs of five

musical notes, the yogic concept, as Anhad. Instead it is Kirtan, Superb
and Ethereal of Unstruck music and entirely different, most elating.
That is the ‘Panch Shabad of Dasam Duar’, Gurmat Kirtan. Panch
stands for superb, super-natural and Gurmat Kirtan is for ‘Shabad’.
This is Eternal and Unstruck! The Gurmukh Naam-devotees play this
music themselves here in this world as also listen to it at their Dasam
Duar. Even when they depart for hereafter to Gur Puri, they keep
listening to this Divine Music of Gurbani Kirtan for their spiritual
sustenance. Sach Khand like Anhad sounds of Kirtan, Super natural
and most elating of Tinkling Music is staged in this world on opening
of Dasam Duar. This musical Kirtan is subsequently heard through
Super natural ears on reaching ‘Karam Khand’ (Region of Divine
Grace) and ‘Sach Khand’ (Abode-Divine) in the hereafter. This Superb,
super-natural Shabad Kirtan is not for the bodily, visible ears. This is
accessed by spiritually engrossed devotees through opening of Dasam
Duar as Ethereal Echo of Tinkling Music of Kirtan. It is not possible
to put it in words and it defies all description, yet one cannot help
appreciating this ‘Most Ecstatic Bliss’. Truth is known only through
personal experience of Blissful listening of the Shabad. The Gurmat
Anhad Shabad stands out as distinct, amazing and superb. What a
contrast between ‘Anhad Shabad’ and the sound of the five musical
organs! ‘Anhad Shabad is echo of countless notes and infinitely super-
natural Kirtan! How can it be termed as just five notes? Heavenly
spheres, accessible to Guru are known to be blessed with ceaseless
Kirtan of Gurmat Naam. Complete symphony of Divine Sound is
extremely ecstatic and sweetest that devotees have heard in their full
awareness. It is Wonderful, sweet Sound of Naam-Kirtan ‘Panch
Shabad Anhad’ that is recognized as the ultimate in Gurmat. Heavenly
Amrit Bani of Divine Source is being sung perpetually in the higher
domains. However specified music of five musical notes, Anhad Shabad
of yogic description is not heard from Dasam Duar nor recognized.

May be some God-Graced Gurmukh devotee has better

experience, yet this above Truth has been experienced and it is
best to confine to personally verified truth. Indeed Gurmukhs of
Divine Realization, blessed with Oneness of merging into Lord, enjoy
Playfully wondrous Heavenly Anhad Kirtan Music in ecstatic Bliss.
The Divine Play of Anhad Kirtan for Saintly devotees is at Abode-
Divine of Sahaj-Bliss. There abide Saintly devotees, with access to
‘Karam Khand’, Region of Grace-Divine and ‘Sach-Khand’, Abode
Divine. This is the Divinely Playful Region of indescribable Grandeur.
Saintly devotees of many worlds form a unique Satsang. It is far beyond
the pale of sorrow and pain, birth and death or time consciousness.
Naam Simran in Kirtan of Anhad is eternally going on there. However
it is a wondrous Rest-House, restricted to Living-Liberated, complete
renouncers of worldliness, Gurmukh Yogis only. Those, who have
ascended to this High Spirituality, live by sustenance of Love-Divine-
Kirtan alone.
Those, who have crossed through Dasam Duar and come to abide in
‘Sach Khand’, Abode- Divine, close to Formless Lord, are blessed
with long, eternal stay there. They are saved from any further fall of
spirituality or wavering of Faith and thus eternal is their place in Abode-
Divine. However rare is the one to reach Abode-Divine through Grace
of Guru, rid fully of doubt, fear and ensnarement of worldliness. These
are alien thoughts that never occur there. This is a state of perpetual
meditation, free from all thought and engrossed fully in Merciful Lord,
Eternal. Envisioned is He in Effulgent Glory, beyond reckoning. His
Being a Formless or Visible, Transcendent or Immanent Lord, to go
into Solitary State of Being or express Himself through vast creation is
all His Own Will:

Limitless One. They remain fully submerged in Bliss of Nectarian-
Effulgence of Naam and remain unaware, unconcerned with other
pursuits. Such is their total engrossment with Door of Abode-Divine
and ecstatic Bliss! They are unable to express their own brimful Joy,
as illustrated in Gurbani:

In the gathering of holy saints, there is Superb Spiritual Kirtan,
Panch-Shabad. Wondrous Ecstatic Anhad is heard there. Saints
engage in frolics, meeting Transcendent Lord, Supreme. 1. The
Abode is bestowed with Bliss of Sahaj, where gathering of Saints
sing Praise-Divine. Sorrow of afflictions and birth or death is
totally banished there. 1. Pause. There Naam alone is
contemplated and rare are the ones to enjoy this spiritual repose.
Sustenance of Love-Divine and Kirtan becomes mainstay.
Eternal is meditational engrossment of Saints, without limit. 2.
Saints of spiritual Sahaj neither waver nor fall nor yield to
distraction from single-minded devotion. It is Grace of Guru that
such high state is bestowed in Satsang. Doubt or ensnarement of
worldly attachment is totally banished. Merciful Lord alone is
contemplated, rid of all other thought in perpetual meditation of
void. 3. Lord is Limitless and Incomprehensible. He is both
Transcendent and Immanent. Devotee, who experiences Lord
within, fails to describe, O’ Nanak, his ecstatic feeling of Bliss. 4.

The living-liberated Gurmukhs always abide at Door-Divine of ‘Sach

Even while in this world, they are verily citizens of Paradise. They
have no more sense of worldliness. They remain engrossed at Abode
of Fearless Lord, Dasam Duar, given only to elating Kirtan impulses
of Anhad Shabad, most Nectarian and ecstatic. This amazing
experience is attributable to Gurmat Naam-Simran and its Alchemic
effect.

CHAPTER XIII
FIRST GLIMPSE OF LIGHT–DIVINE
Those devoting every moment of life to Naam–Simran, experience

within their hearts Nectarian-Effulgence as reflection of Divinely-
Presence. This is first harbinger, that Beloved Lord, Waheguru, is
soon going to be Realized and envisioned. With enshrinement of Lord
of All Life within, in His Effulgent Glory, Ethereal Kirtan of Blissful
Anhad is heard. Bestowed is Divine Blessing on the Graced, Liberated
and Eulogized Devotees to experience most ecstatic and elating joy,
beyond description. Says Gurbani:
crx kml ird AMqr Dwry Ò pRgtI joiq imlY rwm ipAwry Ò2Ò
pMc sKI imil mMgl gwieAw Ò Anhd bwxI nwdu vjwieAw Ò3Ò

suK rYix ivhwxI sihj suBwie Ò4Ò (17])
Enshrining Naam in the heart, Divine Effulgence Spreads within
and Beloved Lord is Realized. 2. The five sense organs sing Divine
Praise celebrating Blessing of Anhad Ethereal-Kirtan-Music that
is Divinely bestowed. 3. Guru Nanak in His Mercy has blessed
with Divine-Realization. Thereafter life is all Bliss of Equipoise
eternally. 4. (17.) Aasa M.5 [375]
Indeed the onset of God-Realization, wherein soul-bride meets Lord

Husband for the first time in Spiritual Union is filled with Nectarian-
Pure Joy. Heavenly singing of Paean (soihlw) Songs in celebration
thereof is heard. This is singing by the large Gurmukh-Family of the
newly graced devotee, Liberated Heavenly Souls, joining in celebration
of the happy occasion in their soulful happiness! Banished is the limit
of human body that acquires Oneness with Unlimited Heavenly Void.
Thus Anhad, Ethereal Music of Kirtan is also accessed. Nectarian
Amrit of Effulgent Naam starts flowing from Divine-Font at Dasam
Duar. This flow assumes proportions of flooding that removes all
barriers and restraining limits. Ocean-like Nectarian Effulgent Naam–
Amrit is brimful with flooding waves. Devotee comes to abide in
121
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Abode-Divine. Divinely recognized and liberated devotees are

provided lodging eternally through Divine Scheme in inspiring
immaculate environment by Lord, Friend. This high status is bestowed
on newly Liberated, Saintly devotees while still living and practicing
Naam-Devotion with inner effulgence of Light-Divine in complete
engrossed meditation. The adornment of spiritual enlightenment, real
Essence, starts from within. The inner Heavy Door that delineates
Abode-Divine within, of His creation is opened with His Grace through
Gur-Shabad. It is opening of the Door of Dasam Duar, that individual
soul acquires freedom to pervade in Vast Spiritual Expanse. What a
Divine-Play it is! Bodily frame is designed to have nine doors in
accordance with Grace-Divine. It is only after transcending these nine
doors of worldly opening, that Tenth Door at Dasam Duar is opened
to unlimited expanse of Divine Vista. Lord in His Effulgent Glory of
Supreme Being is then envisioned. Saintly soul-bird, perched at the
Divinely Gifted Tree, human body for spiritual rejuvenation is then
blessed with much sought after Blessing of Naam-Amrit. Enjoying
Divine-Play at Dasam Duar the young swanbird takes to flight in
Spiritual Expanse of Void. Worldly glamour does not lure the spiritually
high, saintly deovtees. They become Saintly Gurmukh, Swan-Birds
of high discrimintion, given to Divine-Praise singing within, imbued
with Blissful Sahaj State and taking sustenance of Naam-Jewel and
Naam-Amrit refreshment.
GLIMPSE OF LIGHT-DIVINE,
THE WONDROUS SCENE
At Dasam Duar dazzles flickering Divine-Light that is brighter than the
brightest known Sources of Sun, Moon or stars or even lightening of
cloud-thunder. It defies description in words and is without any parallel,
even with combination of myriad Light-Sources. Only those with
experience of its vision know how amazing it is! With this flood of
enlightenment within extending all over the vast Expanse of Limitless
Void, heard then is celestial Divine-Music of Anhad Kirtan Tinkle at
Abode-Divine of Fearless Lord. All this is Play Divine! Banished is all
fear and doubt with Holy Environment of Divine-Presence that comes
122
WWW.AKJ.ORG
FIRST GLIMPSE OF LIGHT–DIVINE 97
to pervade everywhere. Blessed are the rare Gurmukhs enjoying Vision

of Enlightenment at Door-Divine, who ceaselessly sing Divine-Virtues.
Such devotees of Single-minded devotion never look for or care for
duality, whatever be the lure or glitter of worldliness. They are
completely sold to Divine-Worship of One Supreme Being, Alone!
That is what enchants them with total engrossment and destroys all
clouds of egoism. It also brings spiritual immaculacy by removing all
filth of doubt. Here is Gurbani:

custodian of the Precious Commodity. He delineates His Abode
by enclosing with heavy doors that open through Grace-Divine

devotees. 3. ... In the case of Gurmukh devotees, their sense
organs are lured not by worldliness. They are content with
sustenance of Amrit-Naam, fruit of Amrit-Tree flourishing within.
God-oriented contemplate Divine in Sahaj, Singing Divine-
Virtues as their feed. 7. There is Shimmering flash of Light within
that is unlike that from any known sources like moon, star, sun or
lightening. This is description of the indescribable Formless Source
that engulfs all and is most enchanting to the mind. 8. Spreads
ray of Light-Divine, as Lord Benovalent unfolds His Own Play.
Heard is the Lilting Tinkle of Anhad Kirtan ceaselessly at the
Abode of Fearless Lord. 9. Listening to Anhad, all fears and
doubts are banished. Presence-Divine is felt everywhere. All is
Thy creation O’ Lord! Realized are Thou through Guru’s Word.
Devotee singing Divine Virtues receives honour at Door-Divine.
10. Primordial, Immaculate is Lord Supreme! I know not any to
rival Him. One Lord Supreme is enshrined within that enchants
my mind. Destroyed is my pride of self-hood. 11.
Maru M.1 Dakhni [1033-34]
Human frame bestowed with nine bodily functional openings has a

Tenth, Hidden Door, strongly shut off. Opening of this Tenth Door is
only with Grace of Guru, strong dedicated Faith and contemplation
of Guru’s Word, Gurmantar. Opening of the Door is indicated by
sound of Ethereal Anhad Music. Immersed in meditation of Gur-
Shabad, Anhad is heard automatically. Hearing of Anhad is also
accompanied by flooding Divine-Light in body’s interior and direct
experience of Realizing Waheguru, Lord Supreme. Ceaseless
devotional practice of Gurmat alone leads to this Divine Blessing. Says

Bodily Fort has nine openings but Tenth Door is Kept secret. But
for key of Guru’s Shabad the Tenth strong Door cannot be opened.
It is with opening of Tenth Door, Dasam Duar that constant Anhad
Melody of Gur Shabad can be heard there. Opening of Dasam-
Duar, Floods interior of the body with Divine-Light and thus
devotion of Gurmat-Naam leads to Realization of Lord Supreme.
Lord of all creation pervades all beings. 15.
Ramkali Ki Var.M3 [954]
Anhad Shabad of great Efficacy is perpetually heard at Dasam Duar

of Gurmukh devotees, enjoying Bliss of Sahaj State, Spiritual
Equipoise. While enjoying their life as house-holders and in the midst
of their social duties, they are attuned to spiritual elation of Divine–
enchantment within simultaneously. They still remain engrossed in
meditation at Abode of Self at Dasam Duar, playfully engaged in
Divine-Love. Blest is their High seat of Divine-Meditation at Dasam
Duar, highly immaculate. Highly blessed is the life of one, who comes
to abide at the Abode of self and thus attains objective of human life.
Such a devotee enjoys self-contentment of Sahaj and is always satiated.
Satguru has blessed him with direct experience of God-Realization.

CHAPTER XIV
OPENING OF DASAM DUAR
Practitioners of Gurmat Shabad–Surat Marg, Gurmat way of Naam-

Consciousness, are Gurmukh Yogis with full spiritual awareness. They
are house-holders and yet renouncers of worldliness. Followers of
this Sahaj Yog have no need to delve in other beliefs like Hathh Yoga.
Knowledge of much talked about breath carrying veins, ‘Eera, Pingla
and Sukhmana’ and their conjunction, comes naturally to practitioners
of Naam-Meditation. Flow of Nectarian Naam in State of Equipoise,
‘Sahaj,’ easily opens up ‘Trikuti’, point of confluence of three breath
carrying veins, to enjoin with Dasam Duar. Devoid of Naam-Devotion,
Yogis delve in practices of self cleaning ‘Neauli Karam’ of Hathh–
Yoga and difficult exercises of breath-control. They have to breath-
in, hold it and release under yogic discipline that is devoid of Spiritual
elation and inner enlightenment. However this comes automatically to
a Naam-devotee, contemplating Naam breath by breath. In this natural
Bliss, all the requisite acquisitions are automatic for access to Dasam
Duar, without any conscious effort. The mystic spiritual Amrit tank at
the point of Confluence, ‘Tribeni’, becomes brimful and starts flooding
the region between Dasam Duar and navel of the body-interior. It
verily becomes a place of ‘Holy Bathing’ for the being within itself!
Devotees of Nectarian Effulgent Naam-Amrit, Gurmukhs, remain
immersed in this blissful bathing and also envision face to face Effulgent
Lord, Immaculate. However, rare of the rarest are the Gurmukhs of
this High Spirituality. The Special identification of Abode- Divine within
is that access to it leads to hearing of Ethereal Tinkle of Anhad Bani,
perpetual Kirtan, most ecstatic. In this region of ‘Void’, sun, moon,
air or water are all absent. This ‘Real Scene’ is envisioned by Divinely
recognized Gurmukhs as direct experience. They are ‘True Witness’
of Divine Revelation of Essence-Reality. It is this awareness of Divine-
Knowledge that totally banishes evil-mindedness and mind gets imbued
with Nectarian Amrit from Dasam Duar. One graced with this Divine-
Secret, comes face to face with Supreme Enlightener Lord! Dasam
126
WWW.AKJ.ORG
OPENING OF DASAM DUAR 101
Duar is the place of Abode-Divine that is inaccessible. Only

Knowledge-Divine, bestowed by Guru, can lead to this. It is crossing
through Dasam Duar that Lord Supreme is envisioned, and thus the
name ‘Dasam Duar’, Tenth Door. It is right at the top of bodily frame
that this inaccessible recess is located and barricaded with strong-
door. Opened in the rare case with Divine Grace, it reveals Inner-
Recess, surrounded by thin membrane that enables vision of the
unlimited Void beyond. All that remains now around the open recess
is a fine covering, enabling sight beyond with Infinite Light Divine. It is
here that the devotee holds his breath, engrossed in meditation of
Divine Enlightenment, in Equipoise ‘Sahaj Smadhi’. Lord Supreme
is seen to pervade within and throughout the vast Expanse without, in
His Effulgent Glory as Light-Divine.
This Dasam Duar is the window to the Recess within. Access to this
leads devotee to High State of Awareness of Godly Presence, and
engrossment in meditation of Divine-Love, enjoying miraculous
unlimited vision of entire Universal Panorama. Such is the benevolence
of Divine-Grace of Oneness with Lord! At the lotus of navel in body-
interior, pierced by the basic Chant, Gurmantar, ecstatic Nectarian
Effulgent-Naam-Amrit, Naam- Imbued breath is held. The
consciousness enchanted with Naam takes flight to the Vast Expanse
through Dasam Duar. In Void of Contemplation, no distracting thought
occurs, merged with Divine. This meditation of Equipoise is devoid of
utterance. Contemplation of Naam is through mind-consciousness,
without using tongue for utterance. Says Gurbani:
ibnu ijhvw jo jpY ihAwie ] koeI jwxY kYsw nwau ] 2 ]

Devotee contemplating Naam in mind, without using tongue for
recitation, alone knows the full ecstasy of Naam. 2.
Malar M.1 [1256]
Thus starts the wondrous recitation of Gurmat Naam. While ingressing

breath one should only contemplate on Guru’s Chant, Gurmantar, and
shun all other distracting evil thoughts. However these stray thoughts
are destroyed by Alchemic Efficacy of Naam. There will be no more
127
WWW.AKJ.ORG
tendency or capability for other thoughts. The five sense organs can
only be controlled by a Naam-Practitioner, imbued with Nectarian
Naam. Only such devotee can bring his sense organs under total
submission. He is only devoted to Guru’s teachings and always abiding
in Gurmat through mind and body with complete self-effacement,
offering his all to Divine, he is under Divine-refuge. A devotee, with
realization of Essence of Wisdom, considers all thoughts other than
abiding in Gurmat as dispensable. He spares no time to indulge in
wasteful activity, so as to waste away precious human life. He thus
shuts off the very source of the five foes, evil thoughts. Becoming
Spiritually strong, he makes the impossible, visioning the Invisible Lord,
possible. He gets enlightened with Naam-Contemplation and
Effulgence of Naam out-shines countless suns, revealed through Grace-
Divine. Bearing this unbearable ecstatic experience Gurmat devotees
get flooded with profuse flow of Effulgent-Naam-Amrit from Dasam-
Duar-Font. They are also able, as immaculate ones after getting
immersed in Naam-Amrit, to converse with Lord Supreme,
WAHEGURU and engage in Playful activity with Lord-Divine. Their
enlightenment enables them to vision the entire universe around. Such
is the Divine-Lamp that lights up all four directions and the Wondrous
Scene, envisioned at Dasam Duar that Light-Divine engulfs vast
expanse far and wide. These Gurmukhs keep the Lord enshrined within
their beings. Divine Effulgence flushes their faces with
splendorous Glory like shinning Jewels of peerless beauty. Their
foreheads are endowed with reflected Divine-Glow, Halo of Divine
Glory. This is all due to the in-dwelling Lord of Splendid Glory that far
exceeds countless suns, originating as it is from Sun of all Suns. Just
before appearance of Lord Supreme within, Ethereal Music of many
organs as Divine Kirtan of Godly Praise is clearly heard. Rare few
Gurmukhs are blessed with Divine Knowledge that uproots the five
deadly foes. This comes as blessing after ceaseless Naam-meditation.
That is why True Divine–Seekers always yearn for Naam wealth alone.
The above description is fully reflected in Spiritual expression of the
following Gurbani quote:

Eera, Pingla and Sukhmna, breath carrying veins are located at
the same place. There, at point of their confluence Tribeni, at the
holy Prag like shrine, mind takes holy dip in Naam Amrit. 1. O’
Saints! There abides Immaculate Lord. This place is accessed by
rare few with Guru’s Grace. There one experiences Immaculate
Divine! 1. Pause. What is the identification of this Abode-
Divine? Heard there is Unstruck Ethereal Music, Kirtan of Anhad
Shabad. Self-sufficiency of the place excludes moon, sun, air and
water. With Guru’s teaching, devotee gains full awareness of All
–Efficacious Lord’s Presence there. 2. Divine Knowledge is gained
and evil- mindedness is destroyed. Being is fully satiated and
imbued with Nectarian Naam-Amrit at Dasam Duar. One, who
learns this secret technique, comes to meet Supreme- Enlightener,
Divine. 3. Dasam Duar is Inaccessible and beyond

Contemplation. It is a place of Abode-Divine. There is a recess at

the top of bodily frame, barricaded by Dasam Duar and lies therein
Treasure of Light- Divine. 4. A devotee graced with access to
Dasam Duar is always Spiritually awake and never indulges in
slumber of ignorance. His Complete engrossment in Divine-
meditation, shields him from all worldliness. Enshrining basic
Chant of Word-Divine in mind, he abides in Region of Void in
Godly-Presence after complete withdrawal from worldliness. 5.
In spiritual awakeness, he never utters a false-hood. All his five
sense organs are under perfect control. Bearing Gurmat
teaching always in mind, he offers mind and body in loving
devotion to Lord. 6. Using hands as Divine gifts he renders service
for Divine Purpose. Thus he wastes not precious human life.
Shutting away evil thoughts, he keeps away from dark ignorance
to remain in brightness of Divine Knowledge. Bearing the
unbearable ecstasy of flow of Naam-Amrit from Dasam Duar
Font, he converses with Lord Supreme face to face. 7. Light-
Divine enlightens in all four directions at Dasam Duar,
spreading all around. All Universal panorama of vast creation is
seen as manifestation of the Divine-Source. All-Powerful Lord is
the Sole Controller. Immaculate mind of Divine devotee is
bejeweled with Divine thoughts. 8. Blessed with Divine
Knowledge, forehead shines forth in Divine Halo, as reflection
of Divine Glory of In-dwelling Lord. Heard is the Ethereal Divine
Music unstruck, Pure Anhad. In divine Worship, fans are waved

Gurmat, devotee annihilates demonic evil foes. Beni humbly seeks
Naam-Divine, O’ Lord! 9. 1.

CHAPTER XV
RECITATION OF NAAM -
BREATH BY BREATH
Treading along Gurmat practice of Naam-devotion, a stage is reached

automatically when Guru’s chant of Divine-Word recitation breath by
breath, churning Nectarian-Effulgent-Blissful Naam, enlightens one’s
interior within. Imbued with ecstatic bliss of Naam-Amrit, breath is
held at navel. Consciousness, rising along the flow of Naam-Amrit,
after upward straightening of Lotus of navel reaches Dasam Duar
effortlessly. The six-centers of spiritual progress in yogic terminology
offer no resistance and are pierced through by Naam-breath like
electric-charge, charged with Divine-Love. Ecstatic consciousness of
devotee imbued with Naam becomes free of all thought, engrossed in
Love-Divine. Transcendent Lord that is never born nor is subject to
death, seek Him thou O’ ascetic devotee! Look for such Supreme
Lord, beyond pale of birth and death to become a seeker of Truth,
The Essence! Such a search does not involve delving in yogic six-
centers nor suffering ‘Pranayama’, breath control exercises. Mere
breath-control does not signify control over mercurial mind, nor is it
rid of stray thoughts. The only way to control mind is the Gurmat way
of Naam-devotion. It is then alone, that it reverts to its Origin, Spiritual
Source, Divine Spirit and comes to abide in oneness with Divine. This
stage is reached through Guru’s Grace. Then and then alone Wisdom-
Divine dawns that ushers one in to Divine Presence and the unique
experience of Divine Realization. Short of this one is always groping
in dark ignorance, unaware of Real Being, Deathless Lord. It is Divine
Super-intelligence that brings Lord Supreme nearer than the nearest
from a far-off Being to be envisioned as Real. Reality and nearness of
Divine Being is to be experienced in person for True witness. To know
the taste of sweet syrup of sugar-crystals, one has to drink it.
Transcendent Supreme Lord is above worldliness, Invisible and
Inaccessible. Divine Reality defies all attempts to describe in words.
Besides who is there to appreciate such a description? Words alone
131
WWW.AKJ.ORG
fail to carry force of conviction. Faith of True Conviction is always

firmed up with personal vision and experience. However rare are the
ones of Godly experience, incomprehensible to common mortals.
Kabir Ji bears True witness on the basis of self-experience that glimpse
of Divine Splendor is gained by firing the cannon of Naam-
Conciousness imbued with Efflugent-Naam Amrit, ignited with the
help of self-igniting fuse intense Love-Divine. This Vision is beyond
any expression through words. Only the devotee with personal
experience knows this unparalleled Blissfulness!

O’ renouncer conscious lover of void! Pierce through the six
spiritual centers with force of concentrated Naam-breath,
abandoning worldliness. Seek thou, instead, Immortal Lord
Supreme, beyond the pale of death. 1. My mind has renounced
worldliness and its evils, to devote fully to Divine- Love. This is a
transformation by Grace of Guru, bestowing on me Gurmat, or
else I was unaware of Creator Lord . 1. Pause. Evil inner thoughts
that had engrossed my mind, are banished. Now, Lord that had
appeared distant, is nearer than the nearest. One, who realizes
Godly Presence within, is drunk with ecstatic joy like a person
who has tasted syrup of Sugar-Crystals and proof of taste lies
only in drinking it! 2. O’Lord! Who is there to share my
description of Your Transcendent Being? Rare is the one
discerning of Divine. Says Kabir, one, who activates the fuse of
his Divine-consciousness in Divine Love, comes to experience
glimpse of Divine Presence. 3. 3. 47.

RECITATION OF NAAM 107
The foregoing Gurbani refers to the High Spirituality of Sahaj, Equipoise.

There are many more quotes of similar description. Here is another
Shabad from Gurbani:

It neither rains there nor is there an ocean, neither heat of sun
nor shade, neither creation nor destruction, neither life nor death,
neither is there pain nor pleasure, not even Void or meditation. 1.
Amazing is the indescribable Spiritual Equipoise, ‘Sahaj’. It is
beyond estimation or limit. It is neither over- weighted nor too
light, but has sameness. 1. Pause. There is no high or low, neither
day-light nor darkness of night, neither is there flooding water of
evil thoughts nor flight of fickle mind nor burning fire of desire.
Satguru alone dominates there with Divine-Aura. 2. Lord Supreme
abides within, though beyond reach and contemplation. Realized
is the Indwelling-Divine with Grace of Guru. Says Kabir, I am
sacrifice unto my Guru! May I abide in Holy Company, Sat Sangat
always. 3. 4. 48. Gaurri Kabir Ji [333]
State of Sahaj (Equipoise of Spirituality)

Gurmukhs dwelling in Sahaj and having realized this high spirituality
are not prone to experience heavy rainfall of the rainy months. There
is no watery ocean, nor heat of sun, nor shady trees. Nothing is created
nor destroyed there nor is there life or death. Pleasure or pain is
unknown there. There are no meditations of oneness or contemplative
thought. Such is the indescribable Sahaj! It is most amazing!! It is
endless. There is no question of scaling its weight. There is neither sky
high above nor sinking of under world. It is limitlessness. Day and
133
WWW.AKJ.ORG
night are not experienced. Water creating muddy thoughts, fickleness

of wind does not trouble mind and there is no burning fire of desire.
Satguru alone-pervades there, as Glorious Waheguru in Divine-Aura,
Lord-Supreme. This Inaccessible and Incomprehensible Supreme
Being is realized through Satguru’s Grace alone. I am sacrifice unto
such Benevolent Satguru, living always in His Holy Satsangat. In the
closet of bodily frame, there exists yet another super–closet, Dasam
Duar, enshrined in the walls of this six–centered, breath-controlled
structure. Supreme Lord, Himself, has hidden Divine-Light, most bright
Divine Spirit Commodity in accordance with Divine-Scheme. This
closed Shrine at Dasam Duar is locked and secret Key for its opening
lies in technique of Guru-ordained recitation of Naam with each breath.
Satguru administers initiation of this technique by bestowing Naam-
Divine, as the ordained chant, Gurmantar, efficacious in opening tenth
Door, Dasam Duar. This enables access to Wondrous Commodity of
Divine-Effulgence.
It does not take long with Gurmat technique for opening of

Dasam Duar. However subsequent Treasuring of Effulgent
commodity and Divine-Play at Dasam Duar that is like bearing the
unbearable takes all out effort and care. With utmost attention and
awareness one has to remain engrossed in Naam-recitation breath by
breath, without any let-up. In moments of weakness, lowering the
guard, any one of the five evil foes can sneak in to loot. Communicating
with outside world, the organs of perception, human sense organs
supposed to be guarding Divine Commodity are highly unreliable. These
are in fact treacherous betrayers of truth, letting the five evil thieves in
for a looting spree. It is best to mount the reliable guard of breath-by-
breath Naam-Simran in Guru awareness rather than depend on one’s
sense organs of doubtful reliance. This is sure way of guarding inner
Enlightenment of Divine- Effulgence perpetually and even further
enhancing it, so much so that Lord Supreme in His Divine Glory is
visioned. This inner Enlightenment, within ones’ own being, is achieved
only after shutting off doubts and delusions of other nine bodily openings
of worldly communication. Thus freed, consciousness in seeking Divine
Source rises up to Dasam Duar. Delving in sensual pleasures of these
134
WWW.AKJ.ORG
nine openings, one’s consciousness remains engrossed in delusion and

doubt and is deprived of Wondrous higher spirituality, Precious
Commodity. These nine sensual openings are strong–holds of the evil
thieves. Amazing Light-Divine, Commodity of real Essence, is safely
preserved at Dasam Duar and experienced there alone. Says Gurbani:

Lord Creator has created bodily closet by bringing together five
elements and sixth consciousness. Enshrined therein is Most
Wondrous Commodity of Divine-Source. Life breath serves as lock
and key to guard Precious Commodity. Lord takes no time at all
in this wonderful Creation. 1. O’, mind! Remain thou awake in
full awareness, on guard. In slumber of ignorance wasted is
precious human life. Sneaking evil thieves thereby loot away
from your closet all your godliness and virtues. 1. Pause. The five
sense organs posted as guards are totally unreliable. Keep fully
aware and awake spiritually in Naam-Simran. Thus shall thee
experience inner Enlightenment. 2. One lost in pleasurable pursuits
of nine openings of worldliness, is unable to attain wondrous
commodity at Dasam Duar. Says Kabir, it is only after gaining
control over all the nine sensory organs that one is able to access
commodity of Real Essence at Dasam Duar. 3. 22. 73.
Rag Gaurri Kabir Ji. [339]
All that forms visible world is subject to destruction. To delve in

worldliness completely is utter ignorance. Nothing is gained thereby,
but getting only distanced further away from Essence of knowledge.
Thus it is woefully wrong to term sensory organs as organs of awareness
through speech, touch, vision, taste and smell. These organs entrap
135
WWW.AKJ.ORG
one into the visible world alone. It is useless to remain engrossed in

fake awareness of the visible world exclusively. What lies beyond the
perception of these ‘unaware’ organs, is the invisible, inaccessible to
the visible world that indeed is the Essence of True knowledge, worthy
of serious contemplation and of eternal value. It is therefore essential
for those with Gurmat awareness and serious contemplators of Naam
to focus their mind on Eternal Lord Supreme. Not heeding to distracting
evil influence of nine sensory organs, one must remain engrossed in
breath-by-breath Simran and thus find the key to Dasam Duar and
gain access to Divine Play beyond. Envisioned then is the Benevolent
Timeless Being. However even so, the devotee must maintain Churning
of Naam-reciting with every breath, flowing between navel and Dasam
Duar. Every breath whether ascending or descending between navel
and Dasam Duar should be laced with Gur-mantar of Gurmat Naam.
This is the technique to access and open Dasam Duar. Engaging mind
in this perpetual exercise of Naam-recitation is the True and Highest
Divine worship. Breath imbued with Nectar from Dasam Duar stays
there and consciousness along with breath gets enchanted to remain
blissful in the effulgent-Nectarian-Naam font. This confluence of the
high and low, is extremely ecstatic, Supreme Bliss. Says Gurbani:

The visible is all perishable, Contemplate the Invisible Lord. When
Key of Divine-Contemplation is applied to Dasam Duar, then alone
is envisioned Benevolent Lord. 24. Lost is the delimit between
lowly devotee and Highest Lord, when devotee comes to reside
within the Lord. When one attains Highest, abandoning lowly
self, merging individual separateness into the Highest Being,
Supreme Bliss is experienced. 25.
Gaurri Purbi Bawan Akhri,Kabir Ji ki [341]
Continuing this spiritual Confluence of Highest and the lowly, a state is
136
WWW.AKJ.ORG
soon reached that Radiant Divine-Light at Dasam Duar bursts forth

into the vast expanse. The very Source of Nectarian Divine Light
descends into every pore of being in full Effulgent Glory. This is the
spiritual state when Ethereal enchanting Shabad-Kirtan tinkling of
Anhad Music is heard perpetually all the time. Lord Supreme is now
envisioned face to face. Amazing Beauty of Divine is most ecstatic
and totally absorbing. Lost is the distinction between Lord and devotee
in Oneness. Says Gurbani:
bwris bwrh augvY sUr ] Aihinis bwjy Anhd qUr ]

dyiKAw iqhUM lok kw pIau ] Acrju BieAw jIv qy sIau ] 13 ]
Effulgent Light Divine Dawns and perpetually heard is Ethereal
Music of Anhad. Envisioned is Lord Supreme of all creation.
Wonder of all wonders, mortal devotee becomes one with
Benevolent Lord! 13. Rag Gaurri Thithi Kabir Ji [344]
The Saintly devotees with enlightened Consciousness get imbued with

Divine Love. Singing Divine Virtues they enjoy Bliss of Divine-Praise.
They have closest, face to face envisioning of Lord Supreme. It is this
enchanting vision that ushers Bliss of real essence, total engrossment
in divine Praise, Blissful Singing of Gurbani Kirtan. Until one
experiences this, the real flourishment of spirit in Kirtan is not
there. It comes when Divine Love engulfs one-within and without
through All-Pervading Vision of Effulgent Lord. Revelation of Divine
Musical Gurbani to Divine Saintly Gurus was made while envisioning
Effulgent Lord. This is why Kirtan of this Gurbani enacts the similar
Alchemic action of divine enchantment on Gurmukh Sikhs. Without
this inner flourishment, Saintly devotees, lovers of Kirtan are not
satisfied. It is satisfying only when the Sway of musical Kirtan pierces
the inner being and its pangs are sweet to bear within. When one
acquires the spirituality of Equipoise, Sahaj to cope with amazing bliss,
then one is blessed with Tinkle of Ethereal Anhad. The devotee comes
to abide at Dasam Duar, where there is font of Naam-Amrit. Envisioned
there is Satguru, Divine Enlightener, Deathless Being face to face. All
these happenings are coordinated and interweaved in simultaneous
action. Where there is Enlightenment of Divine–Effulgence, also heard
137
WWW.AKJ.ORG
there is Tinkling of Anhad shabd and vice versa. This is the last stage
of merger into Effulgent Being. This is bestowed by Grace of Guru.
When Naam-Jewel shines forth and flourishes Lotus at navel through

magic of Naam Simran then is accessed the closet full of Precious
Jewels. Such is the galore of Divine Light that in comparison cloud-
lightening fades into insignificance. This is a closest experience.
Lightening of clouds is high above while Light-Divine of Divine Spirit
is nearer than the nearest. This is the indwelling reality. With onset of
Ethereal Music of Anhad, ushered in is the Presence of Effulgent–
Divine. The Blaze of Divine Light is continuous Phenomenon. It is
bestowed through Divine Grace of Satguru as the rare of rarest, merger
in Equipoise of highest spirituality.

Word. 1. Pause. Where visioned is Shimmering Light-Divine, heard
there is Celestial Music of Anhad Shabad. Bestowed is the
experience through Grace of Guru that soul being merges into
Divine Spirit. 2. This is a Closet of interior Lotus, where shines
Light Divine. Immanent Lord is nearby and not far off. He
pervades the entire being. 3. Where there is effulgence of Divine-
Light, there mind becomes immaculate with enlightenment of
knowledge-Divine. All this is bestowed by benevolence of Guru
and thus Naama, the devotee, dwells in Equipoise of spirituality.

One Supreme Being, Realized through Satguru’s Grace. Through
Guru, I am bestowed with Knowledge–Divine of Gurmat. Thus I
remain ever Singing Divine-Virtues. 1. Pause. [On Sunday]
Commencing Divine-devotion, body becomes a Shrine of Divine-
Abode and the vacillating desire of mercurial mind is transformed
into the very steady pillar of bodily shrine. Ever imbued with
Naam, consciousness remains engrossed in Divine-devotion and
then heard is the celestial music of Anhad of Sahaj spirituality. 1.
[Monday] Blissful moon-like Kirtan of Anhad showers Amrit.
Imbibing this, banishes all inner poison. Enachanted with Gurbani,
mind abandons worldliness of nine sense organs and comes to
abide within at Dasam Duar, drinking Naam-Amrit. 2.
[TUESDAY] Knowing essence of Truth, one should familiarize
with designs of five thieving foes (lust, anger, greed, attachment
and self-hood). Keeping Constant vigil one must not relax against
thieving of spirituality or else Lord will be severely displeased. 3.
139
WWW.AKJ.ORG
[Wednesday] One should enlighten one’s intellect with Divine

Virtues, so that Lord comes to abide at the interior Lotus.
Meeting Guru one should realize oneness of individual soul and
its Divine Source and thus engrossed in Naam-meditation inverted
Lotus may be upturned in flourishment. 4. [Thursday]
Poisonous ignorance of worldliness must be rid off. Instead of
belief in Trinity of gods, one must put Faith in One Supreme Lord.
Three holy rivers of good deeds, Divine knowledge and devotion
have their point of confluence in Supreme Being. Why not then
concentrate on Godly-devotion all the time to wash away filth of
sins and become immaculate? 5. [Friday] Holy fasting is to
remain unaffected by praise of good deeds. One must fight
cravings of one’s own mind and keep self–control over the five
senses. Thus one is saved from yielding to duality. 6. [Saturday]
One must be firm in Faith. Envisioning Light- Divine within,
Divine- Light comes to engulf within and without with intense
effulgence. Ended then is accounting of all personal deeds. 7. As
long as one delves in duality, one finds not Abode Divine. Says
Kabir, one reciting Naam in Love-Divine is rendered immaculate
in mind and body. 8. Rag Gaurri Var Kabir Ji Ke [344]
Elucidation: All the days are alike and auspicious while engaged in
singing Divine-Praise, through ‘Revealed Gurbani’. Thus one is
bestowed with Spiritual access and enlightenment within. Gained is
Divine–Knowledge that leads to Comprehending Supreme Lord in
the very being. There is no short cut to complete dedication to Gurmat.
Only that Sunday is Superb and fully accounted for when started is
Guru-ordained devotion. This beginning should turn into total
engrossment to ceaseless Naam-contemplation. Targeting the objective
of human life of God-Realization, one must lose oneself so much in it
that nothing else should matter. Nothing may distract the devotee from
single-minded Naam-Simran. One’s mind must be totally enchanted
and imbued with Nectarian Naam. Such should be the pillar of Naam-
pierced craving mind, dying to behold Divine that supports bodily
140
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Temple, to enshrine Lord. With rock-steady mind, holding breath,

laced with Nectarian Naam, at navel in enchantment, entire body
becomes effulgent with Divine-Light and immaculately pure of golden
hue. It verily becomes the abiding Temple-Divine perpetually. Thus
the devotee, enjoying Sahaj of Spirituality, is blessed with hearing of
ecstatic tinkling of Ethereal Anhad Kirtan of Revealed Bani. Manifested
now at Dasam Duar is the Blissful Moon-Light that brings Nectarian
peace to every pore of the body.
Blessed is the Monday when ceaseless Naam-meditation leads to

constant flow of Amrit from the font at Dasam Duar. Imbibing Amrit
banishes all poison within. Imbued with Nectarian-Nam-Amrit,
engrossed in Divine-Love, contemplator of Naam abides at Dasam
Duar to enjoy Ethereal Anhad Bani, lost to all outside world. Drinking
Amrit, mind is ever enchanted.
Happy is a Tuesday when one acquires full control over the five deadly
foes through Gurmat technique and makes them his subdued prisoners.
Fully engrossed at self- Abode of Dasam Duar in Divine–Love, one
never abandons this source of Bliss or else the Envisioned Lord, Our
Sustainer, Independent Sovereign will get estranged to become
Invisible.
Wednesday is auspicious when one’s intellect becomes highly

sharpened and discriminating through enlightenment of Naam-Simran
and Effulgent Lord comes to abide at the interior Lotus forever. This
technique is learnt through Grace of Guru. Presence of Effulgent Lord,
WAHEGURU, bestows radiance of Light- Divine on Lotus of interior
and causes it to flourish fully. Both mind and Lotus are shaped to new
amazing appearance with Divine Alchemy of Naam-recitation of Gur-
Mantar, Naam, in untiring devotion. Breath of Naam-Simran in loving
Divine-devotion causes the inverted lotus to upturn in flourishment
and get enlightened like electric lamp. This Divine-Light spreads to
engulf the entire interior.
That Thursday is most welcome, when evil thoughts of mind are flushed
141
WWW.AKJ.ORG
out. Worship of gods of Trinity is not efficacious for this inner cleansing.
Devotion to One Supreme Lord alone can bring about this miraculous
change of inner purification. Gurmat ordained devotional Love is the
unique technique that brings access to confluence of Eera, Pingla and
Sukhmana at Dasam Duar naturally while engaged in Naam–
Contemplation, leading to Sahaj of spirituality. It is constant bathing at
the Font of Dasam Duar Amrit that cleanses the filth of countless horrid
sins of many births. No other fake worshipping rituals are of any avail,
nor are the yogic practices like ‘Tribeni’ or Trikuti effective to wash
away filth of past sins. Gurmat ordained devotion of One Supreme
Lord, Sahaj yog of breath-by-breath recitation of Naam, is most
effective in becoming immaculately pure instead of delving in
bothersome Hathh Yoga without any result.
Fruitful is the Friday when, after undergoing discipline of righteous

deed of Simran with every breath, abiding strictly by Gurmat, one
gains access to Shrine at Dasam Duar. It is here that holy confluence
of ‘Real Tribeni’ font of Amrit is located and devotee takes purifying
bath constantly and yet, bearing the unbearable, desists from showing
off his high spirituality of highest immaculacy. Such a Sahaj Yogi keeps
reciting Naam ceaselessly to guard himself against lurking foes and
maintain complete self-control.
Excellent is the Saturday, when one is able to keep single–minded

concentration on Naam-Contemplation in God–devotion. Complete
engrossment in Love-Divine ushers in Effulgent Divine Presence, that
enlightens all within and without. When Divine Light engulfs both within
and without with brightest Effulgence, then all the accumulated actions
of past deeds are ended. Says Gurbani:
Plu lwgw qb PUlu iblwie ] igAwnu BieAw qh krmh nwsu ] 3 ]

Just as on appearance of fruit, the flower withers away; onset of
Divine Enlightenment destroys all accumulated actions of past
deeds. Bhairon Ravidas Ji [1167]
142
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Constant Propitious Act

In accordance with Gurbani, all the accumulated effect of past sins of
many previous births is ended, when Light of Knowledge-Divine is
bestowed through Grace-Divine. There is neither fear of rebirths of
transmigration nor need for redeeming actions for past sins. Mortals
perform rituals to gain Divine-knowledge, yet nothing works except
Gurmat prescribed Loving, Divine-Devotion. Delving in other life long
practices prove to be exercises in futility. Gurmat Gian, True dawning
of Divine Wisdom, comes only through Naam-devotion. Gurmat Gian
is also efficacious to destroy accumulated effect of past rituals that
lead to rebirths and there is no more need for any acts for
redemption. Thus Gurmat Naam-devotion is the fuse to ignite the Torch
of Divine-Knowledge that ever remains intact forever, while
accumulated past sins alone are destroyed. Thus one is saved from
the retributive effect of past sins. Real spiritual Gurmat ideal is unique
and Gurmat Naam-Simran and Kirtan of Gurbani is the highest act of
piety that is never changed but ever abiding. Says Gurbani:

Abiding and Eternal is One Lord Supreme, Inaccessible and
Limitless. Abiding is Treasure of Naam and contemplating Naam,
Divine Being is Realized. Abiding too is Kirtan, Singing Divine-
Virtues, by a Gurmukh devotee. True worship and penance of
continuous God-Contemplation is abiding. Compassion,
righteousness and penance of ceaseless devotion are abiding too,
practiced by destined devotees. The preordained fate that is
inevitable is also abiding. Abiding is the Company of the holy
and Word of Saintly Guru is immortal. The predestined devotees
143
WWW.AKJ.ORG
always remain engrossed in Divine-Contemplation. 19.

Var Dakhne M.5. [1101]
The foregoing quote clearly establishes, that penance of ceaseless

contemplation and singing Divine-Virtues of Gurmat is ever abiding,
constant action. Life-giving True Gurmat of Compassionate
righteousness and penance of loving devotion to acquire these virtues
are abiding. Thus Gurbani does not proscribe Kirtan and Naam-
contemplation at any stage. Elucidation refers to what acts are banished
after dawn of Divine–knowledge. So long as there is even an iota of
duality in mind, Abode of Lord Supreme cannot be accessed nor is
the path to it known. It is only complete dedication and engrossment
in Divine-Love of Naam-devotion that brings about immaculate
purification of the entire being. Only such immaculate devotees are
admitted to Abode-Divine to enjoy perfect Bliss.
Abode-Divine - Shrine of Peace

Gurbani described Abode-Divine is ‘Shrine of Peace’ as in the

where abide devotees, beloved of the Lord. 1. Narration of Sahaj,
highest spirituality state of Divinity is most pleasing However
rare is the one, who enjoys this first hand. 1. Pause. There are
gatherings of holy music and singing, where Saints get engrossed
in Divine-Love. 2. Amrit of Eternal Naam rains there incessantly.
Life or death, grief or joy, are excluded in Region of Eternal
Equipoise. 3. Guru has revealed, this secret Reality of Abode-
144
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Divine. Nanak always recites Revealed Truth, in wonderment. 4.

6. 12. Suhi M.5. [739]
Thus, narration of Abode-Divine of Formless Lord is extremely ecstatic.

Rare devotees, enjoying spirituality of Sahaj, alone are blessed with
this Supernatural vision. In this very life, abiding at Self-Abode at
Dasam Duar, they gain this indescribable experience directly. Heard
there perpetually is Tinkling Ethereal Gurmat Kirtan, without break.
Divinely recognized Saints remain enchanted with Divine Music, Source
of constant Bliss. This most amazing Glory defies description. Ended
there is all earthly business of life and death nor are there any ups and
downs of grief and joy. There is but constant sameness of ecstatic
Bliss. Amrit-Naam rains there, as steady downpour from Divine-Font.
Satguru alone unfolds this mystery of ‘Sach Khand’, Abode-Divine.
Fifth Nanak, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, has explicated only the ‘Revealed
Truth’. Says Gurbani:
sMqn kI suix swcI swKI Ò so bolih jo pyKih AwKI Ò ...

Hearken the true witness of saints. They explicate only what
they personally vision… Ramkali M.5 [894]
It is through Guru’s Grace that the Living–Liberated, Gurmukh Naam-

devotees also come to have the ‘Guru–Envisioned’ experience directly
of Abode-Divine and Divine-Play there. This is all replicated at their
Dasam-Duar in full detail. Gurmukhs who enjoy this Blissful experience,
have no more fear of transmigration or any doubts about their rock-
like Faith. They ever remain engrossed in visioning Supreme Lord in
all His Amazing Glory. This is their perpetual ‘Meditation of Void’ in
human life. Their being radiates the Self-enlightenment of Guru’s
Blessing. Thus, they are merged with Divine–Spirit in this life and their
souls remain immersed in Supreme Being even after ending life’s
sojourn. Music of bronze instruments, originating from the instrument
source, travels to merge in Anhad of Void. Even when the musical
instrument is broken up, its notes remain merged with Anhad of Void.
Similarly Spiritually awake Gurmukhs, Accomplished Yogis, merge
their souls in their Divine-Source, Divine Spirit of their Enlightener
145
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Creator, Formless Being in their life time and when they depart from
earth, abandoning bodily cage, they abide in their Lord eternally.
Soul and Supreme Being, Divine–Spirit Unification -

A Glimpse:
Divine Effulgent Spirit of Supreme Lord is clearly envisioned by

Gurmukh Yogis, bestowed with Gurmat, Guru’s Divine-Wisdom at
the point of Confluence, ‘Trikuti’ Dasam–Duar. Such devotees, graced
by Guru bear true witness of their visioning. First they experience
Divine-Enlightenment within their interior. Subsequent to appearing at
Dasam–Duar, it becomes all-engulfing, all-pervading, in all bodies,
ethereal Spheres, galaxies, etc. Soul, as Divine-spark is always
engrossed in Divine-Spirit and yet displays its own separate hue of
blissful-nectarian-effulgence while in human body and also on
abandoning the bodily cage. The soul is merged into Supreme Being
and yet makes its unique individual appearance occasionally. This
Divine-Secret is known only when Incomprehensible and Inaccessible,
Formless Lord is directly experienced and mind is satisfied, beyond
doubt. Says Gurbani:

Gone is the self-doubt of rebirths with engrossment in Divine-
Love. Awakened in Gurmat, I have merged into State of Void,

instrument of bronze is sounded, originated Sound ceases to merge
back. O’ learned one! When instrument is destroyed, where does
the sound go to reside? 1. Concentrating deeply, I envisioned
Divine-Light within, crossing three states of worldliness. Such

CHAPTER XVI
‘PARJAT’ - AMRIT-TREE
This is a unique blessing of Guru Nanak’s House that God- Realization

and envisioning Supreme Lord is made possible through Gurmat Naam–
Devotion for seeking devotees, Gurumukhs, within their own beings.
Any spiritual seeking without is unnecessary and futile. When inner
enlightenment with Divine-Light of Beloved Supreme Being is first
experienced, it is like a Light- ray Flicker. However, the Light- ray is
laden with ecstatic Bliss, saturated with Naam–Amrit, extremely
enchanting and most amazing to envision, beyond words to describe.
As Naam-Simran is intensified, the spread of Nectarian-Light becomes
more and more engulfing, so much so that body of the devotee radiates
golden hue and gets imbued with Naam Amrit. Within newly enriched
body, there grows a Glorious Ethereal Tree of Nectarian-Amrit-
Effulgence, blissfully cool that would be envy of countless moons and
far superior to sandalwood. The fragrance is more enchanting than
countless scented flowers. The taste of this inner flourishment is better
than any honey or crystal-sugar. Its brilliance surpasses that of
countless suns. Following Gurbani describes this ‘Parjat Tree’:
ibrKu jimE hY pwrjwq ] PUl lgy Pl rqn BWiq ] 4 ] 1 ]

Grown is ‘Tree–Parjat’, that has flowered with flowers of many
hues and its fruit is Precious Gem-like. 4.1. Basant M.5 [1180]
Explanation: Gurmukh Naam- devotees are blessed with growth in

the interior of their bodies of Parjat Tree that satiates all cherished
desires (klp ibrC). This is laden with countless flowers and fruit of
effulgent, most precious gem-like variety. It is amazing to behold in its
Effulgent Glory. There is yet another Gurbani quote:

In Courtyard of bodily abode is grown Parjat celestial Tree, laden

with amazing rich foliage, flowers and fruit of real Essence.
Contemplate on Lord, Source of all life, Immaculate and Self–
Created and abandon all otherworldly entanglements. 3.
Gujri Ashtpadian M.1 [503]
Explanation: The Gurmukh devotee, a Saint of Guru’s House,

Divinely recognized, is blessed with blooming Amrit-Tree-Celestial,
laden with Nectarian-fruit in the Courtyard of his bodily abode within.
Brimming with Divine-Love, in gratitude of inner flourishment, the
devotee bursts forth with song of Divine Praise. This bears true witness
of Divine-Play within, of the growth of Parjat Tree of Celestial origin
that meets all cherished desires of the devotee. Rich foliage of this
Tree is Effulgent of Divine-Essence that is in the likeness of Divine-
Glory of Effulgent, Immaculate, Self-Created Lord. Thus O’ seekers
of Divine-Spirituality! Make efforts to win Divine Grace for such a
celestial Parjat Tree within your own being. Abandon all unnecessary
entanglements of worldliness. The Guru ordains that all those desirous
of ‘Parjat’, must engage in devotion of the Alchemic– Naam and remain
a dedicated Sikh of Satguru Nanak Sahib. Such a devotee is further
blessed with ‘Kamdhaen’, Celestial Cow efficacious in satiating all
cherished desires. Thus real satiation and contentment lies in dedicated
devotion of Alchemic Naam. Says Gurbani:

O’ dear mind of mine! If you desire ‘Parjat Tree’ and further desire
to see Celestial Cow ‘Kam Dhaen’ at your door, remember, all
Satiation and Gift of Contentment comes with dedication to Guru
and Simran of Alchemic Naam. 6. Maru Sohe M.5 [1078]
cwir pdwrQ hir kI syvw ] pwrjwqu jip AlK AByvw ]3Ò

The four Commodities of Kam (objective) Arth (worldly wealth),
Dharam (performing good deeds) and Mokh (Liberation) are all
contained in Godly-devotion. Parjat, Celestial Tree is bestowed
149
WWW.AKJ.ORG
by Contemplation of the Incomprehensible Lord. 3.

Majh M.5 [108]
pwrjwqu iehu hir ko nwm ] kwmDyn hir hir gux gwm ]

Parjat, for all Satiation, is Naam-Divine. Kamdhaen, Celestial
Cow, that materializes desired Commodities, is Singing of Divine
Virtues. 8.2. Gaurri Sukhmani M.5 [265]
All that is said in Gurbani is not mere figurative expression, but what
really comes to pass within, as true Spiritual experience. Truly Divinely-
lit, amazing Amrit–Tree grows within interior of body and flourishes
into source of Nectarian–Amrit and its foliage is more effulgent than
precious gems. Here is yet another quote, reaffirming this:

Human–body of Gurmukh Naam devotee is blessed with a tree,
with countless branches and off-shoots and its flowers and leaves
are saturated with Nectarian-Amrit. It is verily an orchard of the
Lord, bestowed with His Grace. 1. Unfolds on me this episode of
Divine- Play! Human body is illumined inside with Divine-Light,
of Godly Presence. However rare Guru-oriented devotees
experience this. 1. Pause. Mind of such a devotee, like a bumble–
bee enchanted by Nectarin-Amrit of inner flourishment comes to
abide at Lotus of the navel. In ecstatic bliss, consciousness
imbued with Amrit takes flight along with Naam-laden breath to
Dasam Duar. 2. In the high spirituality of ‘Sahaj-Void’,
Splendid Tree in Effulgent Glory, Divine Being is envisioned. This
is Ocean-like Lord coming to abide at earthly Abode of Dasam
Duar. Says Kabir, I am slave unto the devotee, who has envisioned
150
WWW.AKJ.ORG
‘PARJAT’ - AMRIT-TREE 125
the splandrous Tree, Lord Supreme. 3.6.

Ramkali Bani Bhagat Kabir Ji [970]
Explanation: Gurmukh devotees are blessed with Alchemic Parjat Tree

within their own being that is blooming with Nectarian–Amrit. It has
lot of effulgent foliage, laden with gem–like flowers, leaves, imbued
with Amrit. Their entire being is flourished and brimming with Amrit,
like flowing canals. The body is transformed into Orchard of Amrit,
flourished by Supreme Lord, True and Perfect Gardner. This direct
experience of most ecstatic Divine- Play of Supreme Pervading Lord,
is duly acknowledged by grateful, blessed devotee. The fragrance of
Amrit-imbued flowers of scented Parjat Tree is most enchanting for
bumble-bee-like mind. Engrossed in breath-by-breath meditation of
Naam and imbued with Naam–Amrit, it comes to abide at Lotus of
navel. Enjoying this bliss–Divine, mind on its own takes to flight along
with the rising Naam–imbued–breath of meditation and thus lands up
at Dasam Duar. This is the occasion for State of Sahaj Void Realizing
Divine Being. Now Lord Supreme appears as Magnificent Divine
Tree of Effulgent Glory. How Blissful! It is most amazing Ocean like
Formless Lord coming to abide within the being at Abode of Dasam
Duar.
“isMD smwieE Gtuky mwih Ò3Ò”

“Ocean–like Lord Supreme is contained within interior of body.
3.” Ramkali M.5 [899]
It is most befitting to remain a humble slave of such Blessed Gurmukh

devotees, who envision Tree–like Effulgent appearance of Magnificent
Lord.

CHAPTER XVII
SUPREME SPIRITUAL BLISSFUL STATE
Gurmukh saintly devotees, firm in their faith, always behold Satguru,

True King, nearer than the nearest. Says Gurbani:
siqguru myrw sdw sdw nw AwvY nw jwieÒ

Ehu AbnwsI purKu hY sB mih rihAw smwie Ò
Eternal Satguru of mine is ever abiding. Deathless Being is
Immanent,pervading in all. Rag Suhi M.4 [759]
Divine Being is always there and everywhere protective of His

devotees, extending help in all situations. In Naam
Contemplation too, He is the source of inspiration and bestows
necessary amenability on the devotees, paving way to success in
spirituality. The practitioners of Naam-Simran come to have Divine–
promptings on various secret breathing techniques during recitation.
Truth is that faithful devoted seekers, Gurmukhs, are bestowed by
Satguru with Supernatural powers to tread along the arduous spiritual
path. If a humble beginning is made with ardent Faith to seek refuge in
Satguru, Satguru advances all the way to meet and extend His blessings.
Just a single utterance of Naam–Recitation of Gurmantar by enthused
Gurmukh devotee, is blessed with loving Naam recitation of countless
times. Says Bhai Gurdas Jee:
crn srn guru eyk pYNfw jwey cl siqguru koit pYNfw Awgy hoie lyq hY Ò
eyk bwr siqgur mMqR ismrn mwqR ismrn qWih bwrM bwr guru hyq hY Ò
A single step towards seeking refuge in Guru, is blessed by Satguru,
advancing in welcome all the way to meet the devotee. Even a
single recitation of Satguru’s Mantar, Naam, is blessed with
countless Naam recitation by devotee in ardent love.
Kabit Swayeae No. 111
Satguru helps on His Own in Gurmantar-Simran, Naam-Recitation.

Such is the magical force of Gurmantar-Simran that amazing techniques
of breath-by-breath recitation of marvelous Sahaj Yog, come to
152
WWW.AKJ.ORG
SUPREME SPIRITUAL BLISSFUL STATE 127
devotee through Divine-promptings. Hathh Yog and Pranayam of Yogis

are reduced to insignificance in comparison. Following Gurbani quote
explains the technique of Sahaj Yog:

Arresting worldliness has entangled a mortal. Redeeming Guru
has put off the fire of endless desire. When reality of mind is
thoroughly understood with Guru’s Grace from top to bottom,
bringing it under complete control, then being becomes
immaculate, bathing at inner shrine. 1. Soul, master of fickle
mind, has now come to abide in Blissful State. No more is there
death, birth or old-age, but eternal rejuvenation of Sahaj. 1.
Pause. Reverting from worldliness, my consciousness rises to
Dasam Duar. Crossed are the coils of Snake like Vein, ‘Kundlani’
and thus met is the Lord- Supreme. 2. Renounced is the worldly
attachment and inner moon-like coolness of Peace has overcome
the Sun-like burning hot worldly desires. Consciousness drawn
upwards merges with Lord in Bliss. There heard is Ethereal Music
of Anhad. 3. Guru Sermonized Word-Divine. Listening, devotee
enshrined the Word in mind. Reciting Naam, Word-Divine, I shall
cross worldly ocean. Kabir states the essence of spiritual
knowledge. 4.10. Ramkali Bani Kabir Ji [971-72]
Explanation: Ever abiding close by, liberated Satguru free of worldly

entanglements, Eternal without fear of transmigration, helps Gurmukh
devotees along spiritual path. They are bestowed with all the knowledge
and technique of breath-by-breath Naam-Recitation and breath control
of ingressing, stopping and exhaling. Mind comes to abide steadily at
153
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Lotus of the navel consciously contemplating Naam and enchanted in

Divine-Love. Envisioning all enlightenment within, revealing Divine Play,
it is learnt: O’ mind! Thou are a spark of Divine-Spirit’. Soul being
bathes in the brimming tank of Amrit within, in bliss of repeated dips,
to become immaculately clean. This is Bliss of Sahaj most ecstatic. It
is most befitting Abode for self, in spiritual Bliss. This Fourth-State,
‘Turiya-Pad’ or ‘Unman-State’ of Supreme Bliss is free from fear of
transmigration and afflictions of old age. Says Gurbani:

Gurmukhs never become incapacitated old, blessed as they are
with consciousness of rejuvenating Divine-knowledge. They are
ever singing Divine- virtues, in contemplation of Sahaj. They are
always blissful with Divine Discernment, treating pain and
pleasure alike. They envision One Lord, pervading in all. 44.
Slok M.3 [1418]
In this Sahaj State of Bliss, a devotee has full control over his breathing.
At his will, enchanted by Nectarian-Naam-Amrit, he may reverse the
breathing with the help of continuous Naam-Simran meditational force,
taking forcefully his regular breath and the functional wind at lower
region of excreta (Apaan Vayu) upward, are crossed the coils of
‘Kundlani,’ snake–like, vein, to reach Dasam Duar. The coils of coiled
snake, forming six-coils are easily crossed, without much time. At
Dasam, Duar Supreme Lord is envisioned. Ended is all worldly
attachment and endless evil desires. Mind is rendered free of all desire.
Cool of Naam-meditation has overcome the burning of evil desires.
Engrossed in Nectarian–Naam at Dasam Duar, Font of Naam-Amrit
starts flowing and Dasam Duar Amrit Tank is filled to the brim. This
brings onset of Ethereal Tinkling Music of Anhad Bani, that is most
Blissful. All the above stated methodology comes into operation only
when one is duly initiated with Gurmantar by Satguru. Such blessed
devotee should then engage in ardent devotion of Gurmantar, Naam.
154
WWW.AKJ.ORG
It is this ceaseless and single minded Naam-devotion and Grace of

Enlightener, Creator Lord that helps Spiritual seeker, Gurmukh to cross
the horrid worldly ocean. This is the tried and successfully experimented
testimony of Highly Blessed Bhagat Kabir Ji and verily the essence of
Spirituality.
The notable believers of Gurmat Faith, mature Naam-Imbued

renouncers have no interest in scriptural studies of other faiths. For
them Gurbani is the Highest Revealed Truth. They equate not other
scriptural text with Gurbani, nor do they contemplate nor sing of it.
Fully dedicated lover of Gurbani, enjoying spiritual flights of Divine
thoughts, a Gursikh does not lower his standard to delve in unsavory,
barren and muddy thoughts. He is blissful in perfect environment of
Divine-Abode, engrossed in enchanting Anhad Bani of tinkling celestial
Music. He attains Oneness with Immanent, Formless, Immaculate,
Splendrous Lord, enjoying Anhad Kirtan. Renouncing worldly glamour
of cheap enjoyment, he finds solace and fulfillment in singing Divine-
Virtues. This renouncement of thought, word and deed comes after
Gurmantar-devotion and dedicated Faith. Detached from worldliness,
yearning devotee engages in spiritual pursuit alone of Naam-Devotion
and engrossment in Anhad-Naam-Kirtan. Thus oriented, he finds
himself face to face with Glorious Lord Supreme in Abode-Divine,
lost in enchanting play of Divine-Love. There was never a conscious
effort to indulge in yogic practices of breath-control-meditation of
Prana Yama or self torture of Hatth Yoga. The breath control of
Nectarian–Naam imbued-breath is entirely in the hands of Naam-
devotee. He engages in breath-by-breath Simran imbued with
Nectarian-Nam and in Sahaj Yog of Gurmat, crossing all the stages
without conscious effort and merges with Divine. There is never a
need for him to go to shrines of Pirag and holy confluence of three
rivers, ‘Tribeni’, for bathing and causing nuisance to aquatic life. Satguru
has bestowed on His devotee realization of all such sixty-eight shrines
within the body itself. Thus he is enjoying holy spiritual bath in Amrit
within all the time, to remain immaculately pure. He pays no heed to
worldly recognition and fame of holiness. All his being remains ever
engrossed in Divine-Love, in meditation of Void. Says Gurbani:

1. Yearning for Love-Divine, I sing of Lord Supreme. Rising above
worldliness imbued with Word-Divine, Anhad, I shall proceed to
Abode of casteless Being. 1. Pause. I have no need to consciously
indulge in practices of Prana Yama. For me Eera and Pingla are
same and I shall effortlessly merge with Divine-Spirit. 2. Finding
a bathing Shrine, I do not go for holy dip and cause nuisance to
aquatic life. Guru has brought awareness in me of all the sixty-
eight holy shrines within my own body and thus I take purifying
bath within. -3 I seek not worldly applause for my holiness. Says
Naam Dev, my mind is engrossed in Love of Supreme Lord. Thus
I shall remain in meditation of Void. 4. 2.
Bani Naam Dev Ji Ki Ramkali Ghar 1 [972-73]
After realizing Sahaj of Dasam Duar, true cool Bliss of Blissful Moon
is experienced and real tinkling of enchanting Ethereal Anhad is heard.
It is just like sounding of Conch-Shell in real life and Resplendent
Glory of Real Sun is directly envisioned that is brighter than countless
suns. The five sturdy evil foes are subdued and rendered powerless.
Fickle mind is made steady and abiding within enchanted with Nectarian
Naam. Naam–Imbued mind is reshaped into most uncommon mould
of True Mint, in golden hue. It is endowed with Alchemic property of
Touch-Stone and fragrant Sandal wood, saturated with Nectarian-
Amrit, fully Satiated. Primordial Lord, Eternal Being and Real is realized
beyond doubt.

Worthy of contemplation has been contemplated and deserving of all

being acquires sameness to merge into Divine-Spirit, like water mixing
with water soul merges with Divine-Light, through Grace-Divine.
Bestowing Divine–Gift of Revealed Bani, Bhagat Jai Dev speaks thus
with Guru’s Grace, that one, who has realized splendorous Lord
Supreme, has acquired the Liberated State of merging into Him.

duality. 1. Pause. Contemplating Lord Worthy of contemplation
and Praising Praise–Worthy Lord with devotion, being of
devotee acquires sameness as Divine Being and comes to merge
with Divine Lord, like water mixing with water. Says Jai dev,
singing Praise of Sovereign Lord Supreme, I have become

abandon all their selfhood to devote to Naam-recitation and thus

remain enchanted in Naam-Love. Says Gurbani:

O’ barmaid, my awareness, ignorant fool! Revert your attention
from intoxication of worldliness and let your Naam imbued breath
ascends upwards. Making Dasam Duar a still, distil Amrit to
intoxicate mind with godliness. 1. Chant, O brother! Naam-
Divine aloud. Keep drinking always Naam-Amrit, O’Saints! This
will bring precious awareness of spirituality and all your worldly
thirst of unending desires shall be satiated. 1. Pause. Rare is the
one to grasp Divine-Love in Holy Fear. Such a one is blest with
Nectarian-Naam–Divine. All beings enshrine Amrit, yet only
Divinely graced come to drink it. 2. Abode of body has nine
doors of worldly communication. Keep your mind under restraint
from wandering in worldliness. Rising above worldliness alone
brings about realization of Dasam Duar. Then and then alone
mind gets intoxicated with Naam-Amrit. 3. Brimming with
fearlessness in spiritual awareness, (after intoxication of Naam-
Amrit) all the malady is banished, says Kabir with all
thoughtfulness. Treading this difficult path of realizing Dasam
Duar, Naam-intoxicant Amrit is obtained, real nourishment
enchantment of Bliss. 4. 3. Rag Kedara Bani Kabir Ji [1123-24]
Explication: This is a call to individual awareness that is worth bringing

to the notice of a genuine spiritual seeker. Forsaking intoxication of
worldliness, here is a way to find spiritual intoxication. Even the most
158
WWW.AKJ.ORG
ignorant being can benefit through initiation into Gurmat and devoting
to Gurmantar, Naam. One can distil one’s own spiritual wine for self
consumption. First, one has to undertake Naam-recitation day and
night. In seclusion one can recite Naam aloud, in forceful sessions.
This is real cry of supplication to Divine. After some ardent practice of
Naam devotion, a magic comes into play that Alchemic Naam acquires
Nectarian taste of Naam-Amrit. With onset of this Naam
enchantment, devotee is Divinely prompted that Naam-Imbued breath
be held at navel, then a jet of this forceful breath, laden with Nectarian-
Amrit, gets directed to Dasam Duar. Thus Dasam Duar of high pedestal
becomes still for distilling Amrit. A flow of ecstatic Nectarian-Amrit
starts trickling, which is then drunk breath-by-breath and mind remains
enchanted. This is a perpetual spiritual intoxication day and night of
Amrit, partaken by rare Saintly devotees of Guru’s House, endowed
with high Gurmat. Those who have enjoyed this rarest of drinks, have
no taste for frivolous alcoholic drink. In fact they are satiated fully and
have no more worldly thirst of any kind.
All mortals cannot obtain this Precious Amrit of spiritual intoxication.

Only a rare fortunate Gurmukh, graced by Guru, abiding in Holy fear
and Love for Satguru, accepting cheerfully His Will of ordained Naam–
Simran, can comprehend this secret and have access. The one blest
with Divine-mark of Grace, can alone enjoy this Supreme Bliss.
Though Amrit is enshrined in all beings, yet only the graced Gurmukh
devotee comes to enjoy this through its awareness. This Divine Grace
is bestowed on ardent devotee of Gurmat Naam. Powerful influence
of this high spirituality subdues the mind to refrain from worldliness of
other nine sensory organs. Enchanted by Naam-Amrit, mind
consciousness and breath abandon ‘Trikuti’, three states of worldly
afflictions and come to abide at Dasam Duar, realized in this high state
of Supreme Bliss.
Three types of maladies:

1. aupwiD - Afflictions through deeds, perpetrated by State or
individuals.
159
WWW.AKJ.ORG
2. AwiD - Afflictions of mind.

3. ibAwiD - Bodily afflictions.
Dasam Duar is Abode of the self now for enjoying engrossment in

Divine Bliss, drinking Amrit and remain enchanted. Those who attain
this state of utter fearlessness are rid of Three maladies of body, mind
and evil deeds. The foregoing experiences of Gurmukh Yogis of Divine
awareness are truly trustworthy, stated here after enduring experience.
They are ever abiding at Abode of Dasam Duar in Naam-enchantment
and have become other-worldly. They can hardly contain their ecstatic
Bliss! Such is the intoxication of Naam-Amrit.

CHAPTER XVIII
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HATTH YOG
AND SAHAJ YOG OF GURMAT
Comparatively Gurmat Sahaj Yog is Sky-high above Hatth yoga. Hatth

yoga is life long engrossment in yogic practices of inner self-cleaning
like ‘Neuli Karam,’ ‘Teti’, ‘Dhoti’, etc., yet that real commodity
remains illusive. Mere holding of plain breath at a spot is not at all
beneficial. Some yogis believe that straightening of the Serpentine
coils of ‘Kundalni’ can bring realization of Dasam Duar, some others
imagine access to Dasam Duar through following the passage of
back-bone, leads to longer holding of breath there, while breath taken
there via ‘Kundalni’ is held for shorter duration. Accessing through
any of these routes takes Hatth Yogis very hard practices. In the case
of ‘Kundalni’ passage, one has to deal with the six coils. This serpentine
passage is proceeding upwards through six coils. Some Yogis take
their breath via this passage. Yogis of ‘Mer-Dand’ use the passage
through back–bone, stretching from anus right up to skull, for ascending
breath. To check breath leaking through anus, they block outlet of
anus with their heel. Air of breath and ‘Appan Vayu’, functional wind
at lower region of excreta, both are taken upward. All the bodily
bones contain marrow, so is the back–bone filled with marrow from
one end to the other. Marrow blocks the passage of air. To clear the
passage for air of breath, they breath through right nostril ‘Pingla,’
breathing vein of Sun. Hatth yogis claim that breathing through Sun-
vein of ‘Pingla’, heat is generated to melt down marrow in the back-
bone and air passage is created for breath to rise up. However body
gets heated with this process. Yogis have then to activate ‘Eera’ of left
nostril, breathing through it to normalize body heat. Now again marrow
solidifies and air passage gets blocked. Once again Sun Vein, ‘Pingla’
is activated to recreate air passage, for rise of breath. At the top end
of back-bone at the skull, breath is blocked by a thin piece of flesh,
Known as ‘Sil’, Slab, in Yogic terminology. The ascending breath,
with a forceful flow, removes this obstruction. Next to this fleshy
obstruction and above it, there is yet another flap of flesh, known as
161
WWW.AKJ.ORG
‘Khirki’, window. This too is opened by forceful breath and thus

accessed is Dasam Duar of the Yogic parlance. Dasam Duar of Yogis
is only a source of air flow. Neither do they experience any gleam of
light nor is there a flow of Nectrain–Amrit. They do not engross
themselves in Divine-Meditation nor are their past sins expiated.
Gurmat Sahaj Yog

All the stages to access Dasam Duar are easily crossed by Sahaj
Yogis of Gurmat. Devotees of Gurmat Naam endowed with high Divine-
awareness, envision Supreme Lord at the Divine–Abode of Dasam
Duar face to face and abide there. There is no other purpose of their
stay at Dasam Duar. Those, who have realized Dasam Duar, have
really envisioned ‘Waheguru’, Lord Supreme. All those desirous of
such vision, should avail of the company of the so Blessed Gurmukhs
and follow their excellent technique of Gurmat. Thus one can find
discerning path of Gurmat, essence of Spirituality. Realizing this state
alone brings the True awareness of this world and the hereafter. Leaving
High–way of True Devotion of ‘Raj Yog’ Saintly Sovereignity, who
would like to delve in arduous practices of Hatth Yog that only takes
one deeper into egotism of worldliness?
Gurmukh yogis of idealistic spiritual awareness put all their faith in the
spirituality of Sahaj. All Pervading Lord’s Naam–Divine, Effulgent and
Precious, is the Essence of Divine-knowledge for them. Gurmat
Devotional Yog is thus different from Hathh Yog. This is ever abiding
Real Awareness of Enlightenment, described below:
When Naam-Simran leads to flourishment of Lotus from inverted

position to bloom of upturning with Alchemy of Divine-Light, it serves
as bridge leading to Dasam Duar. Soul abiding in blooming Lotus of
navel in Nectarian–Effulgent–Bliss, engaging in breath-by-breath Naam
Simran, Churning effort, Sun-like Divine-Light appears that is blissful
like moon-light, of Nectarian–Coolness. Even before accessing Dasam
Duar, Gurmukh yogis, on devotional path of Gurmat, experience
engulfing enlightenment, bright like Sunlight yet with coolness of moon-
light that is amazing. The ecstatic Gurmukhs express themselves thus:
162
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Difference between Hatth Yog AND Sahaj Yog of Gurmat 137
riv aUpir gih riKAw cMdu Ò 2 Ò (3Ò2Ò10Ò)

Above the bright Sun is held blissful moon. 2. (3. 2. 10.)
Bhairo Bani Kabir Ji [1159]
Opening of Dasam Duar

The engulfing Divine–Light is brightest towards the top-end of
backbone (Mer-Dand). The entire back–bone is lighted up like the
fluorescent tube of electrical lighting. However the round brightest
Source of enlightenment is at the top end that indicates the sought
Dasam Duar, beckoning like a Light–House. This is most exciting.
The mixed moon-sun-like Light source of round form, circles around
Dasam Duar, enlightening all parts forming the skull within and without
in transparency all around. Finally it makes entry from top end of
backbone into Dasam Duar, opening the aperture–like window. Thus
is opened the Dasam Duar aperture that can only be experienced but
defies explanation in words. This is onset of Play at the Dasam Duar.
Here soul-being is engrossed in ecstatic Nectarian–Bliss of Effulgernce,
witnessing the wondrous Play involved in Supreme-Bliss and yet staying
apart. Dasam Duar is now enlightened within, as if flooded with
countless bright suns and countless cool moons without a parallel in
Bliss. Following Gurbani picturizes this:

Those with enlightened mind come to abide at Abode-Divine. Meet
such a person to contemplate Lord of Divine Abode. This will
bring True awareness of both here and hereafter, revealing futility
of egoistic worldly pride and attachment. 1. I am now engrossed
in self-realization. Immanent Lord’s Naam is Knowledge-Divine
163
WWW.AKJ.ORG
for me. 1. Pause. With inner enlightenment of bright Sunshine,

tempered with blissful coolness of moon-light, mixed Divine–Light,
my inner Lotus is flourished and thus a bridge is formed to reach
Abode–Divine at Dasam Duar. At the top end of backbone Sun-
like Source of Divine-Light Shines in splendorous Glory, above
the back-bone end in skull. 2. Opening of backbone is covered
with slab like thin flesh. Yet above and adjoining this slab, there
is another flap covering aperture, like a window. Beyond this
window is Dasam Duar. Says Kabir, Splendorous Glory at Dasam–
Duar is beyond words. 3. 2. 10. Bhairo Bani Kabir Ji [1159]
On treading path of Gurmat Sahaj Yog, neither is there body heat nor
any hardship nor any serpentine passage encountered. Never is there
any obstruction or hindrance of slab or shutter that one must overcome.
In revelation of Dasam Duar of Sahaj yog, one finds splendorous
enlightenment and tinkling of Ethereal Anhad Shabad, nowhere else.
At this confluence of ‘Tirbeni’, Dasam Duar, Gurmat Sahaj yogis go
into trance of Divine-meditation and abide at the valley of ‘Sunn’,
Void, establishing ‘Mut’ – Abode of yogis. Many ascetics go about in
search of this in vain. Says Gurbani:
kbIr gMg jmun ky AMqry shj suMn ky Gwt ]

qhw kbIrY mtu kIAw Kojq muin jn bwt ] 152 ]
O’ Kabir! In between ‘Eera’ and ‘Pingla’ of breath carrying veins,
at Dasam-Duar, is the Valley of ‘Sunn’, Void, free of worldliness,
Kabir has set up there his ‘Mut’ yogic Abode, while many
ascetics roam about searching the way in vain. 152.
Slok Bhagat Kabir [1372]
The search for Dasam Duar in other beliefs is very intricate, like arduous
Hatth Yog, yet all that is achieved is a supernatural power of holding
breath there. Hard yogic practices like ‘Neuli Karam, clear the veins.
‘Pranayam’ helps to control breath, but not sensuality. As long as
breathing is stopped, the sensory organs are unable to function.
However as soon as breathing is restored, organs will resume sensual
activity and fickle mind will resume its wander-lust. The place, where
164
WWW.AKJ.ORG
breath is held, is Dasam–Duar for yogis. Their version of Anhad Shabad

is mere music of musical organs like flute, cymbals, etc. The Super-
natural powers of ‘Ridhis’ and Sidhis’ are mere attachments of
worldliness. Yogis abandon their homes and hearths to take up Hatthh
Yoga. They leave their occupations, refrain from food and observe
many forms of self-denial. Gurmat Sahaj Yog has no prescribed hard
practices of self-torture. Indeed Gurmat Sahaj Yog is the only way to
access Dasam Duar, to realize Supreme Lord - WaheGuru and to
listen to Tinkling of Anhad Kirtan of Word-Divine. Other than Guru’s
House nowhere can one learn the technique of realizing Real Dasam
Duar and Real Anhad Shabad.
Foot Note:
Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh Ji has dwelt in detail to delineate
difference of Hatthh Yoga and Gurmat Sahaj Yog. Here is a simile for
easy understanding by considering the example of a metallic furnace.
The lower portion of furnace, where ash of burning coal falls could be
considered Dasam Duar of yogis, while the top portion of burning
coals is the Real Dasam Duar. Thus Dasam Duar of yogis is a lower
region, where flute, cymbals, cloud thunder, conch-shell and bell
sounds are heard. Higher still is Real Dasam Duar, where Ethereal
music of Naam and Bani tinkling of Real Anhad Shabad is heard. Also
visioned is the splendorous Glory of Supreme Lord, linking one with
Abode-Divine, ‘Sach Khand’.
It will be befitting to include here witness of a yogi. This will confirm

that real essence is found in Guru’s House. Personal experience of
Swamy Nitya Nand of Rikhi Kesh was published in weekly edition of
paper ‘Gur Sewak’, published at Amritsar in February, 1937. It also
appears in the beginning of his book, ‘Gur Gian’ under the title ‘Apni
Baat’, Self-Experience. Here is the narration:
Self –Experience
I was born in Bengal. A yogi used to visit our town occasionally. His
Naame was Sri Swamy Brahma Nand Ji. His life was very mystical.
He had Supernatural power of his words coming true. Whatever he
165
WWW.AKJ.ORG
happened to say, would prove to be a real happening soon. Today my

age is over 135. I have rarely seen a yogi of his stature. My father was
his ardent follower. One day the yogi visited our house and stood at
the door. He asked in a loud voice, “Bring me my commodity, entrusted
to you”. He had never visited the town prior to this. Seeing him all the
family was taken aback, particularly by his pronouncement. My father
failed to interpret his words. He had never entrusted anything, so what
could he be asking? The yogi repeated twice again, “Bring me my
commodity entrusted to you.” My father caught hold of his feet and
begged, “Which entrusted commodity are you asking?” Yogi entered
the house and placed his hand on my shoulder, saying,” “This boy is
held in trust by you and belongs to me. He shall not stay in your house,
so give him to me. We were four sibling brothers, but parting with a
son was no easy matter, yet it was difficult to deny the yogi. All family
members stared at each other in confusion, without uttering a word.
Yogi Ji left for his hermitage, instructing, “Return my entrusted
commodity soon to me.” In the evening, my parents visited the yogi.
What transpired there was not revealed to me. Early next morning I
was brought to the yogi in his hermitage. After six months, yogi left the
place along with me. Yogi Ji was renowned Sanskrit Scholar of
significant fame. He bestowed knowledge through theory and practice
unto me. Wherever he found another accomplished yogi, he would
stay there to let me benefit from him. Passing through Madras, Bihar,
Orissa, Bombay, Kanpur, Agra and Paryag, on our pilgrimage to holy
places we reached Punjab. Here we met a great Ascetic considerably
old in years. Many days passed in Spiritual discussions. His name
was ‘Swamy Satya Nand Ji’. He explicated Sikh ideology and practice
in such an impressive way that Swamy Brahma Nand Ji felt enamoured
of it. Visiting Amritsar ‘Guru-Darbar’, Golden Temple, he was so
much impressed that he put all his Faith in it. Spending some time in
Punjab, we moved on to Haridwar. He was in normal health there,
when one day I noticed tears of remorse in his eyes. On enquiry, he
replied, “All my life has gone in vain roaming in wilderness, while Real
commodity of Spiritual Essence is found in Guru’s House. I have to
take one more birth to avail of True Liberation.” Saying this, his soul
abandoned his mortal frame.
166
WWW.AKJ.ORG
I am also a devotee of ‘Waheguru’ Mantra of Guru Nanak’s House

after a long practice of yogic meditations learnt from accomplished
yogis. The bliss experienced now is far greater than any earlier
experience. Methodology of Guru is flawless. Divine–Word,
‘Waheguru’, is excellent in spiritual efficacy. Guru Nanak to Guru
Gobind Singh have imparted Gurmat teaching that is Pure Amrit. There
is no bani better than the Revealed Gurbani, source of Bliss!
The Yogi gave me his departing message that I am duty bound to

spread: “The accomplishment made easily possible by recitation of
Naam, ‘Waheguru’ is not obtained even with arduous practices. This
is True and experimented and a Truth beyond doubt.”
I am past the age of writing a book. I have offered my personally

experienced events with promptings of some loving friends. Even if a
single individual is able to derive benefit from this, my labour shall be
rewarded.
Sd. NITYA NAND,

NEELGARHI
(NOW RISHIKESH)
Swamy Brahma Nand Ji, Perceptor of Swamy Nitya Nand in Yoga,

spent a life time in practice and experiments of spirituality. He concluded
that ‘Essence of spirituality’ lies in the House of Guru Nanak Sahib. It
can therefore be inferred that devotion to Gurmat Naam and abiding
by ordained spiritual discipline are the only means to achieve True
Liberation, while other recitations, penances, restraints, Yogic practices,
etc., are of no avail except going astray in wilderness. This truthful
conclusion is illustrated in Bani of Sri Guru Arjan Sahib in Soratth
Rag, given below. The essence is that Divine-Praise sung in Sadh
Sangat of holy Gurmukhs is most propitious. However Divine Kirtan,
Superb duty, is Divinely bestowed and preordained, that comprises
of singing Gurbani and Simran of Gurmantar, ‘WAHEGURU’.

One Lord Supreme, Realized through Satguru’s Grace. Read are
the holy scriptures and contemplated are Vedas, Yogic practices
of ‘Neuli’, cleaning of arteries and straightening of Serpentine
coils of ‘Kundalni’ are performed. Yet the five foes of lust, anger,
greed, attachment and self-pride give me no respite and I remain
entangled in sway of my own self-conceit. 1. O’ Dear! This is not
how to Realize Beloved Lord, I am tired of performing many acts
of piety. At last, I beseech at the Door-Divine, to bestow on me
intellect of spiritual discernment. Pause. Observing silence, using
hands for plates, I have roamed with bare body in wilderness. I
have been on long pilgrimage to holy places and banks of holy
rivers, yet sense of duality keeps lurking. 2. In pursuit of mind’s
desire, I resided at holy shrines and offered penance of being Sawn
by placing saw over the head. Yet filth of mind is not washed
168
WWW.AKJ.ORG
away with such countless deeds. 3. Giving in charity gold, one’s

own wife, steeds and elephants, bestowing all kinds of donations,
offering food clothing and even lot of lands, yet Lord’s Abode is
not realized. 4. Performing worship, offering essence, lying flat
in obeisance and abiding by six scriptural duties with devotion,
yet only self-conceit is fuelled, sinking deeper in worldliness. This
is not how to Realize Divine Being. 5. Delving in yoga and
practicing all eighty four difficult postures, I have become tired
of long practice. This has led only to long life and repeated
rebirths. But Lord has remained illusive. 6. Kingly life and its
environment, issuing undeniable orders, enjoying lovely bed,
fragrant with spray of essence is only door to dark hell. 7. Most
propitious is singing Divine–Praise in Sadh- Sangat, says Nanak,
this is bestowed on those, who are Divinely predestined. 8. Your
devotee, O’ Lord, is lovingly engrossed in singing Your-Praise.
Graced by Lord, Dispeller of all malady, devotee’s mind is always
engaged in Divine-Praise. Second Pause. 1.3.

CHAPTER XIX
TRUE SATGURU
Guru Nanak and His nine successors, embodiment of the same Spirit,
following same methodology and Sri Guru Granth Sahib, enshrining
Revealed Gurbani and Spirit- Divine, are Divinely Appointed True
Gurus. Never was there a true Guru, before or after besides them in
person, nor shall there ever be. True Satguru is one, who can bestow
realization of Dasam Duar and Divine-Play there of Ethereal Anhad
Shabad tinkling. In the present Kalyug and for all times to come Guru
Nanak – Dasmesh Patshah, Tenth King, has entrusted the Spirit and
Methodology to the group of Five Beloved Ones, Guided by and in
Presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib they will exercise Gurmat-Sahaj-
Yog-Spirit methodology, in the same way. From the period of Guru
Dasmesh Ji, fermenting process of Sahaj-Yog-Spirit has been evolved
from person to person and shall carry on. Other than Guru’s House,
persons exercising Gurudom make tall claims and shall carry on doing
so. However, they are not effective in imparting any spirituality nor
shall it ever be possible. All Divine-Power is bestowed in Guru’s House.
Searching outside for Divine-Blessing will only be straying into
wilderness of doubt and futility. While preparing Amrit for ceremony
of initiation, The Five Gurmukh Beloveds of Guru’s House are
bestowed Divinely all Powers with Divine-Grace of accomplished
Satguru. Blessed by Five Beloveds of Guru’s House following Gurmat
technique in full, many initiated Gurmukh devotees are present today,
who enjoy their High Spirituality Secretly. Such a Spiritual status is
quite within reach, if full Gurmat discipline is followed in personal living.
All are welcome to undertake this experiment personally for true
testimony. There cannot be true Faith without personal experience.
Without True Faith, there can be no gratification of Bliss. True Satguru
is Eternal and very much Present now and working through Five
Beloveds, His performance is demonstrated by successful initiation of
many as a testimony. Says Gurbani:
170

TRUE SATGURU 145

My Satguru is Eternal, not subject to birth or death. He is a
Deathless-Being, pervading in all. 13. [759]
Satguru in Oneness with Supreme Lord, Waheguru is Immanent,

present in all and shall ever be so. However, only Naam-imbued
Guurmukhs, abiding at Dasam-Duar Abode, listeners of Nectarian-
Effulgent-Anhad-Shabad, envision Him. As a testimony of His Real
Existence, He helps His Gurmukh devotees even now to realize Dasam
Duar and to listen to Anhad Shabad. Folowing Gurbani endorses this:

Accomplished Satguru is the one who can bestow vision of Abode-
Divine within bodily frame of the devotee. The celebrated
tinkling Ethereal Music of Anhad Shabad is playing there.
Envisioned there is wondrous sight of islands, worlds, under worlds
and galaxies. Supreme Lord is seated there on His Eternal Throne,
while ecstatic Music of many musical organs is heard in Divine-
Praise. In the Abode of Bliss, enjoy Celestial Blissful Music and
get engrossed in meditation of Void, ‘Sunn Mandal’.
Contemplating indescribable Play at Dasam Duar, all the desires
of worldly thirst of mind are banished. Upturned is the inverted
Lotus with inner flourishment and filled to brim with Amrit of
Dasam Duar. Enchanted mind no more goes to stray outside.
Automatic is Naam Simran that is ceaseless and eternal. All the
Blessed Gurmukh devotees, Divinely graced, come to abide in
171
WWW.AKJ.ORG
self-Abode of Dasam Duar. Ardent Seekers, Naam-Devotees find

this Divine-Abode. Says Nanak, I am slave unto such
Accomplished Gurmukhs. 1. 27. Var Malar Ki. Slok M.1 [1290-91]
Explication: Accomplished, Sagacious Satguru, of real Efficacy, is the

one, who can initiate His faithful and ardent devotees with Gurmantar,
goad them into ceaseless Simran of Gurmantar Naam and thus lead
them unto the Highway of Spirituality. He should then be able to bestow
on His worthy followers the vision of Dasam-Duar-Abode within their
own bodies. Blessed are the Gurmukh devotees, who follow Gurmat
of ceaseless Naam–Simran, and vision this Divine-Abode. They bear
true witness of their direct experince.
At Dasam Duar is heard the most enchanting, wondrous Ethereal

Music, characteristic Gur-Shabad Bani, Tinkling Anhad. There appears
amazing scene of countless Divine Creation in the forms of islands,
worlds, under-worlds and galaxies. Even reality of a ‘Sach- Khand’,
Divine–Abode, is also envisioned, where Supreme Lord,
‘WAHEGURU’, Emperor of all Creation, sits on His Splendorous
Seat in His Majestic Glory. Thus All-Pervading, Glorious Lord is
realized face to face. It is due to His Divine-Presence, that most ecstatic
Music of many stringed organs, singing His Praises is heard, in His
adjoining Courtyard at Dasam Duar. Hearing this Blissful music one
goes into ecstatic meditation at the region of Void. Contemplating in
this state of Sahaj, Supreme Bliss, there is no more any room for
mind’s worldly desires. The inverted Lotus at navel gets flourished
and straightens up in bloom with Nectarian-Amrit. Enchanted mind
comes to abide in this like a honey-bee, straying no more without.
Drinking Naam-Amrit at inner Lotus in extreme Bliss, meditating in
Sahaj at Dasam Duar and abiding in Abode-Divine, devotee continues
devotion of Naam–Simran, without break or respite, even after merging
of soul with Divine- Spirit of Primordial Lord:
“True from the very beginning, True through the ages.

True now and True in the past, O’Nanak, ever True shall He be.”
172
WWW.AKJ.ORG
TRUE SATGURU 147
One continues Naam–Simran as abiding duty. Met are the like-minded

friends by Gurmukh devotees, coming to abide in Abode-Divine at
Dasam Duar as Divinely recognized ones:
“Divinely selected and recognized are the leaders.

They receive honour at Divine Court.
They contemplate only of One Supreme Lord.”
Such Divinely accepted are the ones fit to officiate as Five Beloved
Ones for initiation ceremony. Those blessed with receiving Amrit from
them, following Gurmat methodology, are bestowed with Gurmantar.
Such devotees of Naam, after ceaseless Naam-Simran as true seekers,
realize abode of Sahaj at Dasam Duar. It behoves a Gursikh to be
slave unto these Accomplished Gurmukhs. However Guru’s Singhs
should keep away even from the shadow of fake persons, devoid of
Gurmat, without a place in Guru’s House, yet making tall claims of
gurudom. Having any dealings with such persons is out of question.

CHAPTER XX
EXPLICATION OF GURBANI QUOTATIONS
IN SIDH GOST
Where does Shabad reside? Where does the writing of Shabad –

after abandoning mind and body go to riside?
In Gurbani, Guru Nanak’s discussion with accomplished yogis named

‘Sidh Gost’, Dasam Duar and Sahaj Yog are described thus:

Word–Divine, Shabad, resides within the Incomprehensible Lord,
Pervading everywhere I look. Life-breath also resides within the
Unmanifested Lord, All-Powerful. Through Divine-Grace, Shabad
comes to abide within a devotee and destroys all doubt. Naam
enshrined in the mind makes body and mind immaculately pure
through singing Immaculate Gurbani. Guru’s Word, Naam, helps
a devotee to cross horrid worldly ocean with awareness of One
Supreme Lord everywhere. Formeless Lord, beyond the pale of
worldliness, O’ Nanak! is comprehended through ‘Shabad, Naam.

and realizes Incomprehensible Supreme Lord. Banishing

worldliness and enshrining Naam, all egoistic pride of self–hood
is rid of. Realizing One Supreme–Lord within and without, one is
enchanted by Naam. Engaged in Naam-Devotion of Sahaj, Lord
Himself bestows knowledge of ‘Sukhmana’, ‘Eera’ and ‘Pingla’
of yogic terminology, without a special effort. Says Nanak, Lord
is above worldliness of Prana-Yama and Satguru’s Shabad, Naam,
alone helps to merge in Him. 60. Ramkali M.1 Sidh Gosht [944]
Before dawning in Guru’s House and prior to Divine–Revelation, the

Redeeming Naam abided in the Incomprehensible Lord, All-Pervading.
Except Satguru, Word- Divine was beyond any body’s comprehension
and remains so till now. This Divine-Revelation has come through
Satguru, as Gurbani. After all, Divine–Word could have been revealed
only through a Divine-Messenger, Guru. Thus Gurbani only explicated
‘Naam’ to the world. Prior to this Shabad resided within Formless,
Immanent Lord. Life-breath, churner of Naam, normally abides at the
navel within human body and is engaged in breathing-in and breathing-
out. It can be sustained by the Shabad- Amrit of Dasam Duar, when
held there in–meditation. When body was non-existent, life–breath
too abided in and was sustained by All-Powerful Lord. The one graced
by the Lord, is blessed with Naam abiding within that banishes all his
doubts. Immaculate Word-Divine, Gurbani, with Alchemic Efficacy,
renders both mind and body immaculately pure and then Naam and
Naam alone comes to pervade within. Naam–Devotion ferries one
across horrid worldly ocean and True Gurmat Awareness brings the
Realization of Godly-Presence both here and hereafter, pervading in
all and everywhere. Supreme Lord is Formless, without a visible body
of worldly elements or any hue. Thus He remains beyond
comprehension of bodily senses. Divine State, above worldliness, Pure
Awareness, Universal Spirit–Divine can be comprehended through
Divine Guru-Shabad only. Life-breath, when abiding within, without
breathing in and out, at Dasam Duar engrossed in meditation of Void,
is sustained by nourishment of Naam-Effulgent-Amrit. Reciting
Alchemic Gurmantar, “WAHEGURU” bestows Comprehension of
Lord and face to face Realization. Naam, enshrined within, destroys
175
WWW.AKJ.ORG
all worldliness, the associated past deeds and their effects. When one
is rendered absolutely pure and all worldly filth is washed away, egoism
of self-pride is completely rid of. Visioning One Supreme Lord, both
within and without, everywhere, one’s love for Divine becomes more
ardent. Having realized the Lord, Pranayama and all its rigmarole
becomes a child’s play, at the beck and call of Divinely recognized
Gurmukhs of Sahaj Yoga. Lord Supreme and Sahaj-Pad of His
Realization are much above delving in ‘Sukhmana,’ ‘Eera’ and ‘Pingla’.
Merging with Essence of Divine-Spirit is possible only with Naam-
devotion.
The following Pauris of ‘Sidh Gosht’ further explicate this intricacy

and dwell on the secret of Sahaj-Yog-Path:

One’s mind comes to abide within the interior and seeking
according to Gurmat one finds the Source. Mind abiding at the
Seat of navel–Lotus, consciousness takes flight to Dasam Duar
to find Essence. Shabad, ‘Naam’, that abides at Self-Abode is
Efficacious in Realizing Divine–Spirit, pervading all the three
worlds. Hunger for Divine-Realization ends all other worldly
hungers and consequent sufferings, remaining satiated with Naam.
Ethereal Music of Anhad Bani is revealed to seeking Gurmukhs
and rare one can explicate this phenomenon. Says Nanak,
uttering Truth-Divine, that one imbued with Naam, remain ever
so imbued eternally. 65. Ramkali M.1.Sidh Gosht [945]
Explication: Mind is like intoxicated elephant

hsqI kuMfy bwhrw iPr iPr auJiV pwey Ò
“Elephant-like mind without control of the goad of shabd, goes
astray again and again.” Gujri ki Var, Slok M.3 P.20 [516]
176
WWW.AKJ.ORG
To control this wayward mind, like intoxicated elephant, needs to be

Struck time and again with the goad of Divine-Word, Shabad. Un-
controlled mind neither stays within the body interior nor does it stick
to the world of its own imagination without. The Source of mind’s
origin, Divine-Spirit, is known only after initiation into Gurmat.
Gurmantar is bestowed by Satguru, and breath-by-breath, recitation
of Alchemic Naam-Mantar brings about inner flourishment of Naam-
Amrit. This ends wanderlust of mind. Enchanted by Naam-Amrit mind
comes to abide within perpetually, without any special effort. Naam
recitation breath–by–breath leads to Naam–imbued breath taking up
residence within the collected pool of Amrit at navel, Abode of the
interior. Mind, engrossed with Naam-Amrit and pierced with life-
breath, stays put at the navel while consciousness takes flight to Dasam
Duar and thus searching Gurmukh finds Supreme Lord, The Essence.
So Gumantar, Naam-Shabad, through hard devotion becomes
efficacious to realize Universal-Spirit, the Essence. Enjoying this state
of spirituality, Immaculate Gurmukhs are sustained by Naam-
nourishement that is never exhausted, ever flourshing. There is more
and more need to imbibe Naam-Amrit. This true yearning and Naam-
hunger banishes all worldly hungers and their consequent maladies.
Gurmukh devotee sustained by Naam-Nourishment is fully satiated
and looks forward only to this satiation and rejuvenation. This is when
Anhad Bani is heard. Bliss Supreme of Anhad Bani is Known only to
Gurmukhs. Naam- Devotees are very rare indeed, with Realization of
Essence, Supreme Lord. Guru Nanak testifies that reciting Naam
faithfully, leads one to remain imbued with Divine-Love for ever.

When individual soul abandons mortal frame that served as
Abode of self, then mind goes back to the Source, Divine- Spirit,
to abide in eternal bliss. When there is no more support of Lotus,
177
WWW.AKJ.ORG
of navel, then Divine-Lover’s, mind resides blissfully merged with

Unmanifested Lord. When bodies of various form were not
created, the Essence of Naam was abiding within Unmainfested
Lord. When creation of world and sky did not exist the spirit
pervading all three worlds was contained in Formless Being.
There existed only one Formless Being and Amazing Word-
Divine His only Support. None is ever pure without Immaculate
Shabad, O’ Nanak! This is beyond words to describe working of
Alchemic, Immaculate Shabad. 67. Ramkali M.1 Sidh Gosht [945]

What causes, worldly creation and what malady causes its
destruction? World comes into being in manifestation of self-
ego. Forsaking Naam, Sustainer of life, it suffers. A Gurmukh
being contemplates Essence of Naam and thus burns away all
egoistic selfhood. Immaculate Gurbani renders body and mind
immaculately pure and thus Gurmukh devotee remains in O
neness with Lord. Enshrining Naam within, renouncer of
Worldliness is always engrossed in Naam. Says Nanak, there is
no realization of Lord without Naam–Devotion. Find this Truth
in your own heart through contemplation. 68.
Ramkali M.1 Sidh Gosht [945]
Explication: When abandoning the body and its Abode of interior,

soul of a Gurmukh devotee takes flight in Void. It takes refuge in
Fathomless Lord in loving devotional meditation. There it enjoys
Supreme eternal Bliss. Leaving the residence of Lotus at navel, where
it remained enchanted with sustenance of Naam-Amrit-Essence soul
now comes to abide in the Source, Divine-Spirit of Lord Supreme,
eternally rejuvenated. Leaving body of visible form, the soul, originated
from the Source of Lord Supreme, Formless Being, returns to unite
178
WWW.AKJ.ORG
with splendorous Spirit-Divine. When there was no worldliness of

births and deaths or vast sky overhead, or time limitations of past,
future and present, then All Pervading, Formless Spirit of Unmanifested
Lord was the Abode for soul in complete Oneness. The only
sustainence was wondrous Shabad-Divine. Without the True Shabad,
none can become pure. Even if one becomes immaculately pure through
Alchemy of Shabad, he cannot put in words the glory of
engrossment in splendorous Naam Shabad, or explicate Naam. Such
is the Glory of Naam, beyond all words.
How this world comes into being and what maladies cause its ruination?
Answer lies in the next line of Shabad. In manifestation of self-hood is
the worldly creation created and in egoism it keeps dying. Personal
ego is a chronic disease and is banished through Panacea of Naam.
Forsaking Naam one suffers the malady and keeps dying and reborn
in transmigration. The Gurmukh devotees of Guru’s House enjoy
different state, distinct from the mortals suffering transmigration. They
engage in contemplation of Gurmat, Essence of Divine knowledge, to
remain ever engrossed in Naam. Their ego of selfhood is destroyed
by Alchemy of Naam and they become absolutely pure in mind and
body with glory of Naam. Such blessed Gurmukhs attain Oneness
with Supreme Lord. They are brimming with Naam through all their
pores. Engrossed in Divine all the time they shun all worldliness. Naam
alone is the all time occupation of their hearts.
The conclusion is that without Naam–devotion there can be no Yog of

Divine-Realization. All Divine seekers should imprint this Truth in their
minds. In seventy-second Pauri of Sidh Gosht, it is finally concluded
thus:

179
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Hearken, O’Yogi! to this conclusion about Word-Divine, that

without Naam devotion there can be no Yog of Divine-
Realization. Naam-imbued devotees, ever engrossed in Naam,
remain Blissful. Naam is revealer of all Truth and Naam brings
True awareness. Those devoid of Naam, delving in fake garbs,
are disgraced by True Lord. Satguru bestows Naam, O’ Yogi! That
alone leads to real technique of Yog of Divine-Realization. Says
Nanak, come to think in your own minds, without Redeeming
Naam there is no Liberation. 72.
Ramkali M.1 Sidh Gosht [946]
This Gurbani quote makes clear the Divine-Verdict, particularly

addressed to the yogis, that there can be no yoga without Naam-
devotion. All other delvings in yoga are fake embroilments and wasteful
efforts. Beyond feeding to personal ego and gloating about, these are
barren pretensions. It is possible only for Naam–imbued Gurmukhs,
ever engrossed in Naam, to attain Bliss of True Sahaj Yog. Naam
devotion of Sahaj Yog alone is efficacious to reveal the secret Play of
highest spirituality. This is the Highway to practice Real Yoga and gain
True awareness. All other delvings in the name of Yoga are fake, that
bear no fruit. Undesirable activity of fake yoga deprives one of Faith
in Real Path of Gurmat and Reality of Supreme Being. Waste goes
such a life in needless tribulations. Conclusion is that there is no
Liberation without Naam. However bestower of Naam is Satguru.
There is no Guru other than Divinely appointed Satguru, Guru Nanak!

CHAPTER XXI
STATUS OF SATGURU AND SIKH
The Emissary Guru enjoys status of Oneness with Creator Lord and
is thus in the likeness of Lord, Divine-Being.
siqguru dyau prqiK hir mUriq jo AMimRq bcn suxwvY ] 5 ] 4 ]

Satguru is embodiment of Divine Being, uttering His Amrit-
Word. 5.4. Malar M. 4 [1264]
Satguru is truly benevolent and bestows gift of real saintly life on the
deserving mortals. Many are the souls so lit by Divine-Spirit of Guru
and yet His Own Spiritual Enlightenment is ever on the increase in
Divine-Love. Satguru gives freely and His Gurmat is Perfectly Divine.
Unlike the fake, self-appointed guru, He never runs out of Divinity,
but always maintaining Oneness with Supreme Lord. This is the high
mark of Accomplished Satguru. The Status of Divinely recognized
Gursikhs, Naam–devotees is also very high, beyond reckoning. The
main difference is that a Gursikh can never be a bestower of Naam on
others all by himself. He is not vested with such an authority. At times
a Gursikh might fall short of supreme continuous bliss. The comparative
Status of Satguru and a Saintly Gursikh is described thus by Bhai
Gurdas Ji in his Var:
sO ivc vrqy isK sMq iekuqr sO siqgur AibnwsI Ò40Ò21Ò

A Saintly Gursikh is rare, spiritually graded up to one in
hundred, while Immortal Satguru is rarest of the rare and graded
the highest. 40. 21.
My Benevolent Satguru has the plus point, that like the flowing river,
He nourishes spiritually all those, who come across Him and yet loses
not even the least in His Own engrossment with Divine, always brimful!
He is constantly face to face with His Divine–Guru, in Spiritual contact,
without break. Again in Gurbani:
181
WWW.AKJ.ORG
myrw guru dieAwlu sdw rMig lIxw ]

Aihinis rhY eyk ilv lwgI swcy dyiK pqIxw ] 1 ]
My Benignant Guru is always imbued with Divine-Love. There is
ceaseless engrossment in Divine Contemplation and peace
beholding Lord. 1. Ramkali Dakhni. M.1[907]
Remaining engrossed all the time in Divine–Contemplation, so much

so that Lord is constantly beheld. Sight Divine alone gives peaceful
satisfaction and inner flourishment. True Satguru bestows upon His
Gursikhs:
“jqu squ sMjmu swcu idRVwieAw...” - “Virtues of Purity, Truthfulness

and Self-control are bestowed by Satguru...”
Thus True Naam of real purity, truthfulness and self-control, is

bestowed by Satguru, while
“swc sbid ris lIxw...” - “He is engrossed in Shabad-Amrit all

the time...”
Such is the marking of True Guru’s Sublime spirituality that is eternal.

Being One with Supreme Lord, “WAHEGURU”, spreading True
Naam of the Mystic Lord among true Naam-seekers, Satguru remains
fully absorbed in Naam–Contemplation and face to face with His Lord.
Satguru, abiding at Abode–Divine of Dasam Duar lives in eternal
awareness. For Him all are alike, endowed with Spark of same Divine-
Spirit. Satguru enjoys Tinkling Ethereal music of Anhad-shabd to
remain spiritually rejuvenated.
“rhY ggnpur idRsit smYsir Anhd sbid rMgIxw Ò” - “Abiding at

Abode of Dasam Duar, visioning sameness in all mortals, Satguru
remains enchanted with Anhad–Shabad.”
Eternal Abode’s residence, mark of Supreme state of spirituality is

bestowed on True Satguru and He brings Divine Gift of Naam-Amrit
for general distribution without distinction. He, Himself is always brimful
182
WWW.AKJ.ORG
STATUS OF SATGURU AND SIKH 157
with Naam-Amrit.
“squ bMiD kupIn Brpuir lIxw ijhvw rMig dsIxw Ò” - “Living in

highest morality, Satguru is brimming with Amrit while tongue
recites Naam-Amrit.”
The font of Naam-Amrit is always flowing through His tongue. The

Blessed Gursikh of Satguru gets thoroughly soaked in Naam-Amrit
of Supreme Bliss. With such personal experience of Spirituality, rock-
like Faith is developed in the beloved Gurmukh. Envisioning all creation
within the Supreme Creator Lord, Fathomless Being, Satguru bestows
the same vision on His Gursikhs. Satguru, after witnessing Play-Divine
Himself, helps His Gursikhs to envision the same, otherwise Supreme
Lord is Incomprehensible to all mortals. This phenomenon is akin to
another lamp being lit by the lighted lamp. For the Gurmukh devotee,
this is Divine- Englightenment within his own being that engulfs all
creation to make it visible. This is a unique direct experience to envision
Supreme Lord in All His Splendorous Glory sitting on His Eternal
Seat in Abode-Divine in Fearless Meditation. Devotees with this most
ecstatic experience, remain always yearning for ever more Divine Love.
They leave all worldliness for this single-minded engrossment. With
Ceaseless devotion of Gurmantar, Naam, and merging with Supreme
Being, brings about True Liberation. Thus the Gurbani quote:

WWW.AKJ.ORG
Satguru bestowed Virtues of Purity, High True Morality and self

control on Gursikhs and Himself remained engrossed in Nectarian-
Naam. My Benevolent Guru is ever imbued with Love-Divine.
Engrossed in Divine-Contemplation always, He derives bliss
envisioning Lord. 1. Pause. He abides at Dasam Duar-Abode in
Equipoise of sameness, enchanted with Anhad Shabad. 2.
Equipped with High Morality, He is brimming with Naam-Amrit
and His speech is imbued with Nectarian-Naam. 3. Devotee of
true Guru is bestowed brimfulness of Naam and impressed by
miraculous change wrought by Him, one is steeped in Faith. 4.
All Creation exists within the Creator Lord as also Lord pervades
in all. This vision is bestowed by Satguru after envisioning this
Reality Himself. 5. Lord, Creator of all the worlds and galaxies is
beyond comprehension. 6. Lighting a lamp with the lit lamp, same
Spirit-Divine is envisoned in creation of all three worlds. 7. True
Lord is Seated on His Eternal Throne in Abode-Divine in Fearless
Self meditation. 8. I am enchanted by Lord, Unattached and yet
abiding in all. His Ethereal Tinkle of Naam pervades in all beings.
9. Says Nanak, Satguru has taught the Truth, that Liberation
lies under the Shelter of Supreme Lord. 10.
Ramkali Dakhni M.1 [907]
Thus Naam can be bestowed only through initiation in Guru’s House.

Spirituality of Oneness with Lord, enjoyed by Satguru, is explained in
the foregoing Gurbani Shabad. He is truly Bestower of the technique
of self–enlightenment, as Divine–Gift. Guru Nanak has finally
concluded:
“ibnu nwvY mukiq n hoeI...” - “There is no Liberation without

Naam devotion...” Ramkali M.1. Sidh Gost [946]
It takes ceaseless Naam-devotion to be graced with true

Liberation. Seeking liberation through Hatth Yoga is fool-hardiness.
Liberation according to Gurmat, is merging with Divine-Spirit. The
awareness of Supreme–Lord’s Vision follows awareness of self first.
Individual spirit gets flourished only with Naam. Enshrining Divine–
184
WWW.AKJ.ORG
STATUS OF SATGURU AND SIKH 159
Light of Splendorous Lord Supreme, spirit of a being comes to bloom

in Supreme Bliss. Thus in Divine-Contemplation enjoying Divine-Bliss
one merges with Envisioned Lord. Says Gurbani:
ijnI Awqmu cIinAw prmwqmu soeI Ò

eyko AimRq ibrKu hY Plu AimRq hoeIÒ 6]
Those, who realized their ‘self’, individual spirit come to know
that it is but a tiny spark of Divine-Spirit in sameness. There is
but one Amrit-Tree, bearing Amrit-Fruit within that comes to
bloom with Naam-devotion. 6. Aasa M.1 [421]
There is only one Amrit-Tree that bears Amrit-Fruit. The Fruit tastes
most Nectarian, of ecstatic Bliss. It is experience of tasting the Fruit
and envisioning the Amrit-Tree that is most wondrous and unique,
defying description through words. It is therefore appropriate to
conclude:

Expel all darknes of ‘Tamogun of ‘Pingla’ and gather all
peacefulness ‘Satogun’ of ‘Eera’. Lead life, breathing Naam is
the blissful technique. Reverse the tide of life flow away from
worldliness like inverted powerful dive of a fish, to control mind.
Thus body is saved from decay and soul keeps abiding in peace.
1. O’fool! Why are you dwelling in doubt? Thou have not
realized the transcendent Lord of Supreme Bliss, withdrawing from
worldliness. 1. Pause. Burn away the unbearable vice and subdue
the subtle mind. Abandon evil mindedness and come to drink
Amrit-Divine. Inverting the tide of life, like fish in water, gain
control of mind. Thus body is saved from decay and soul keeps
abiding in peace. 2. Says Nanak, if you engage in Divine-
Contemplation, then your mind shall become blissful, imbibing
Amrit with every Naam-imbued breath. Thus invert your life of
worldliness to follow Godliness, like inverted swim of fish in
water. Soul abides in peace and body is saved from pining away.
3. 9. Maru M.1 [991-92]
The above Gurbani quote in its central thought is a pointer to futility of

Hatthh yoga and delineates the Gurmat way of Sahaj Yog:
O’ Hatthh Yogi! You may delve in Yogic practice to your heart’s content
in efforts to dry up the pond of ‘Pingla’, ‘Tamogun’ and strive hard to
186
WWW.AKJ.ORG
FLIGHT TO SUPREME BLISS OF DASAM DUAR 161
add to the pond of ‘Eera’, Satogun, yet this shall all be futile. There is
no redemption without Sahaj Yog of Gurmat, efficacious for instant
success. Gurmat calls for Naam-Contemplation. The Naam- imbued
breath when held at navel, flourishes Lotus at navel. The stored Naam-
imbued breath along with one’s consciousness takes sudden flight from
navel to Dasam Duar, just like fish taking long powerful leap in reverse-
direction in water. The fish does not run out of breath, while staying
submerged in water for hours, blessed thus by nature in biological
system. It can take plunge with one swift move to go deep down in
water. This action is discerned with sound of disturbed water. Similarly
devotee of Naam-awareness, Gurmukh, enchanted with Nectarian-
Naam flushed with Divine-spirit, engaged in breath by breath Naam-
recitation, holds breath at navel and then with one jolt goes into highest
flight to Dasam Duar. It is entirely discretionary to stay there as long
as one may wish and enjoy peaceful Bliss. This technique of Sahaj
Yog does not involve worrying about their soul abandoning the body
nor of body’s destruction, because of breathlessness or shortness of
life-breath. In fact life-breath is blissfully flourished with Naam-Amrit
remaining within the body, enchanted by Spirit-Divine. Thus
consciousness in calmness, imbued with Naam, enjoys flight in Void
of Dasam Duar. Guru Sahib, therefore, advises poor Hathh Yogis in
His mercy, that those desirous of pursuing True Sahaj Yog should
adopt the Gurmat technique ‘Like briskness of fish, mind should revert
from worldliness to Supreme Spiritual Bliss’. Following this technique,
‘Neither soul abandons body nor is body self-destructed.’ Delving in
fake Hatthh Yoga, foolish yogis stray into wilderness of doubt. They
never come to realize Limitless Supreme Lord, not even their own
individual self. It is only Gurmat technique that leads to realizing True
Sahaj Yog. This way burnt away is the evil-mindedness of self-conceit,
that countless practices of Hatth yoga even fail to touch. Banished
is the worldly attachment of endless desires of human weakness easily
with Naam-devotion. It is not worthwhile to pine away life in futilities
of Hatth yoga, straying into fear and doubt. It is best to leave all that in
favour of Gurmat devotional technique and thus come to imbibe
Nectarian- Amrit within oneself. This is ‘Fish-like sharp reversion of
mind…” sudden flight of mind’s awareness to Dasam Duar of a blessed
187
WWW.AKJ.ORG
soul. Guru Nanak bears testimony that this is the only way for one’s
mind to access Dasam-Duar. All that is involved is, striving with a
determined Faith. Consciousness takes a leap from navel to highest
Dasam-Duar. With Naam-recitation and the magic of Alchemic Naam,
Naam-imbued breath in enchantment abides at the navel effortlessly.
This continues as long as there is splendour of Effulgent-Nectarian-
Naam Amrit. Engrossed in Naam-Amrit, mind abandons all hankering
after worldliness. With passage of time, while engaged in practice of
Naam, enchanted breath abiding at navel becoming blissful suddenly
a stage is reached that taking a big leap, fish-like inverted swimming in
water, Naam- imbued breath and consciousness take flight to Dasam
Duar. Supreme State of Sahaj is bestowed with Naam, Gurmantar
practice, initiated by Satguru. At this stage all constituents of Pranayama
of Hatthh yoga of Eera, Pingla, Sukhmana, and breath carrying veins
and their associated tanks of ‘Som-Sar and ‘Soor-Sar’ (cool bliss
and heat) are all flooded with Effulgent-Naam-Amrit and become
resplendent. All the region from navel to Dasam–Duar is engulfed
with most resplendent Light-Divine, brighter then countless suns.
With tank of Nectarian Bliss (‘Som-Sar’) becoming brimful, breath is
held up within and Amrit is drunk greedily all day and night. Just as
similar commodities merging into each other in oneness:
“ijau jl mih jlu Awie Ktwnw Ò iqauN joqI sMig joiq smwnw ]”
“Just as water mingling with water, similarly individual soul-being
merges into Divine-Spirit.” Gaudi Sukhmani M.5 [278]
Realized soul merges into Supreme Spirit in Oneness. Bhai Gurdas

Ji’s Bani describes this very aptly thus:

Reverting breath flow along with mind take flight to Dasam Duar,
like inverted plunge of fish in water. Realizing Satguru, devotee
attains highest spirituality. Drying up hot breath tank of Pingla
and filling up tank of cool Bliss of Eera, holding up breath at
Sukhmana one drinks eep of Amrit of Dasam Duar Font. Burn
away never ending self-conceit and subdue deathless mind to get
rid of worldly doubts. Thus body is preserved and soul being rests
in peace, abandoning restless pursuits. The constituting elements
of sky, sound and water mingle with their sources of sky, air and
water. Similarly individual soul comes to unite with Divine-Spirit
in Oneness and dwell in Peace of Sahaj. 16.8.
Var 37, Bhai Gurdas Ji
Engrossment of consciousness in shabd is efficacious in effortless

inversion of breath from navel leaping to Dasam Duar, like a deep
inverted plunge of fish in water. Fish can stay submerged in water as
long as it may wish, endowed thus by nature, without running short of
breath. Similarly Naam-devotees with mind engrossed in Naam have
such a control over their breathing that with one leap they land up at
Dasam Duar and stay there as long as they wish in Supreme Bliss.
This is depicted thus:

With consciousness engrossed in Shabad, Sun of knowledge comes
to shine in House of Blissful moon. Inverted leap of Naam-
Imbued mind, like fish in water, crosses confluence of breathing
veins, ‘Tribeni’, coming to abide at Dasam Duar, Ocean of Bliss!
Abandoning characteristic States of worldly existence, one
accesses Forth State of Sahaj, Equipoise of Spirituality, there flows
constantly Font of Amrit at Dasam Duar in abundance. This is
Supreme Bliss, like sun-bird with sun, moon-bird with moon,
peacock and rain bird with cloud appearance, remaining
189

flourished like Lotus and plantain in pure water. 28.

Kabit Swaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji
In the foregoing Kabit, Bhai Gurdas Ji describes unique efficacy of

Gurmat engrossment of consciousness in Naam of Sahaj Yog. All the
co-ordination takes place automatically, without special effort, like
‘Sun of Divine knowledge shines with full splendour in House of Cool
Blissful moon at the Self-Abode. There is no need to delve in torturous
practices of Pranayama of Hathh Yog. Just as fish, swimming in a
mirthful jaunt, at ‘Tirbeni’ confluence of three holy rivers, can cross
‘Tribeni’in inverted swim without a problem, similarly Gurmukh Naam-
devotees, with mind ardently engrossed in Naam Simran, through a
determined leap of Naam-imbued strong breath take flight from navel
to Dasam Duar, comfortably Crossing confluence of breathing veins ,
‘Tribeni’ of Eera, Pingla and Sukhmnana. There mind comes to abide
in Ocean of Bliss. There is never a need for hard practices of Hathh
Yoga to open ‘Tribeni’. Thus Gurmukh Sahaj Yogi, engrossed in Naam-
Simran breath-by-breath, detached from worldliness of Rajo, Tamo,
Sato, effortlessly realizes Dasam–Duar and Fourth State of Sahaj.
There Amrit-Font is constantly flowing to usher Supreme Blissfulness
of ecstatic taste. It is impossible to put all this in words. The nearest
similies in life-situation are those of blissfulness enjoyed by sun-bird,
moon-bird, peacock and rain-bird on realizing their most cherished
objectives of sun, moon and cloud with promise of rain. Supreme
Bliss experienced by Naam–Devotees of fourth State of Spirituality,
Sahaj, is limited only to blessed ones realizing this indescribable ecstasy.
Plantain and lotus are flourished with blissfulness in water alone, not
otherwise.
The Naam-devoted Gurmukhs easily realize Abode–Divine, without

undergoing tortures of Hathh yoga Practices. Abiding at Abode-Divine
in Supreme Bliss comes to them as an act of Divine Grace. Remaining
submerged in Oneness with Divine Spirit for them is like water of
rivulets mingling with its source, ocean and a thundering cloud
disappearing into the Sky. They are lost in Blissful devotional
engrossment of their Lord in Sahaj, focusing only on Embodiment of
190
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Essence of Gurmat. They come to form part, in Oneness, of the

Splendorous Lord, Waheguru. In this state heard too is Ethereal Tinkle
of most enchanting Anhad Shabad and rain of Naam Amrit is incessant.
Devotees engaged in fruitful Naam-devotion, with all their beings, come
to realize all that they could wish for, all cherished treasures! Bhai
Gurdas picturizes the forgoing thus in Kabit:
ault pvn mn mIn kI cpl giq suKmnw sMgm kY bRhm sQwn hY Ò

Inverting Naam-imbued breath, like inverted swim of a fish, mind
crosses confluence of breathing veins to access Dasam Duar. Just
as water comes to mingle with ocean and thundering cloud is lost
in Sky, Gurmukh devotee is focused on realizing Supreme Bliss of
Gurmat. Thus soul comes to merge in Splendorous Lord, Divine-
Spirit, hearing too the beat of enchanting Ethereal Anhad Shabad
as indication. Nectarian- Amrit rains there incessantly. Thus
Gurmukh devotee is blessed with all that is cherishable and all
Treasures. 25. 59. Var 37, Bhai Gurdas Ji
Yet again, here is another Kabit in the same vein:

Inverting Naam-breath in ardent Simran like inverted plunge of
a fish in water, mind goes to Inaccessible Abode-Divine beyond
Dasam Duar. There five elements of creation, fire, air, water,
earth and sky are not found. Nor is there a moon or sun, nor
191
WWW.AKJ.ORG
creation and destruction. Lost is all worldliness of mind so also

care for body and life breath. Divine Shabad consciousness or
visioning enlightenment are missing. There is no distinction of
Lord and devotee; it is even beyond Supreme Bliss of Anhad. In
this self-sustained region of Void, there is no yearning for
wonderment. 529. Var 37, Bhai Gurdas Ji
Highest, ultimate Spirituality depicted here is beyond explication. It is

only matter of inner experience. In Simran of Naam with concentrated
awareness, in the likeness of fish enjoying inverted plunge in deep
waters, a Gurmukh devotee accesses, across Dasam Duar,
inaccessible Abode-Divine. There disappear all five elements of fire,
air, water, earth and sky. Moon and sun, creation and its annihilation
are absent. Minds’s overt and pervert thinking, body, life-breath and
all delving in knowledge become irrelevant. Lost too in the self-
supported region of Void is consciousness, Shabad, experiencing self
and even the distinction of envisioning devotee and the Envisioned
Supreme Lord. Naam–Devotee and Divine Being, WAHEGURU,
unite in Oneness beyond the state of supreme Bliss of Anhad. Meditation
of Void, Self-supported, is Incomprehensible and there is a mingling
of wondering and the wondrous, without a particular feeling.

In an environment of Akhand Kirtan, singing Pure Divine-Praises, is
an Abode of Guru, yearning conciousness of Gurmukh engrossed in
ardent single minded Naam-devotion, there easily realizes Dasam Duar.
This is Play of ascension of Naam-Consciousness, comparable to
mirthful jaunt of a fish taking inverted plunge in deep waters in a flash.
It is all a matter of great yearning of Naam-imbued consciousness,
making a determined bid in one go to realize Gurmat objective of
Dasam Duar. Engaged in Naam-Simran, Alchemy of Naam-Force-
recitation produces in interior of the body a ray of Divine–Light, without
any premonition. It is not easy to withstand the experience of first
Enlightenment, most ecstatic and flourishing. Only a prayer to Divine
is efficacious in bearing this unbearable brimful joy. It is extremely
192
WWW.AKJ.ORG
testing to withstand the first ecstasy of Blissful tinglings of automatic

uncontrollable Naam-Simran, imaging Divine-Play at Dasam Duar.
Great is the enchantment of flourishing Nectarian–Sweetness within.
In normal course with up and down flow of Nectarian-Naam-breath
established in the body’s interior, automatic Naam-Simran gets
established. It is important to keep this going till the unbearable
experience is fully within control. This is not just a short period of
ecstasy, but the onset of wondrous Spiritual–Union, Divine–Realization.
The devotee’s mind is thoroughly intoxicated and pierced, all the
engrossment is focused on this amazing magnetic Amrit and playful
soul-union. This extra ordinary one-point focusing throws out all other
distracting thoughts. Naam-Simran of Naam–Amrit–Imbued breath
becomes slow in enchantment, and the breath, is held up at Lotus of
navel for long, without breathing in and out. The Blissful and the
enchanted consciousness remains at Centre of Bliss, The Lotus of
navel for as long as desired, enjoying ecstatic tingling of Nectarian-
Naam-Amrit in spiritual flourishing . As long as consciousness remains
thus engrossed at the Lotus, breath will be held up. When this state of
spirituality is stabilized, a time comes that breath stored at Lotus can
be shot like an arrow with goading of Love-Divine and taking flight
from navel lands up at Dasam Duar. Thus it takes just one big leap!
The Love–yearning to realize Divine at Lotus of navel provides such a
force that results in inversion of Naam-Imbued–Breath and
consciousness to land at Dasam Duar. The Divine–Enlightenment within
the interior engulfs the entire region from navel up to Dasam Duar and
its Blissfulness increases manifold. Even the region at Dasam Duar
goes on extending with each flight to Dasam Duar. At navel pressure
of Nectarian-Breath will be maintained. Life–Breath with Spiritual-
Tingling–Effulgence will rise up. In a sudden leap, like lightening, of
engrossed pull of Nectarian–Effulgence, devotee can access Ocean
of Limitless Effulgence of Void. Descending below with own discretion,
one comes to the engrossment of interior, continuing enchanting Naam-
Simran. Now the connection between Dasam Duar and navel region
remains established as One. The spiritual play at Dasam Duar or in
the region below of interior does not spell any danger to life-breath.
All this goes on with flourishing of Nectar–Naam–Effulgence in Sahaj
193
WWW.AKJ.ORG
of spirituality with a sense of blissful enjoyment. Only when devotee

gets full spiritual flourishing and a strong yearning of Divine-Love, one
may think of higher experience of ascension to Dasam Duar, till then it
is fool–hardiness of Hathh yoga, against Gurmat. Sahaj Yog comes
naturally in fullness of blissful flourishing. Having realized Sahaj of
spirituality one comes to know real essence of Mind:
“mn qUM joiq srUpu hY Awpxw mUlu pCwxu ]” - “O’ Mind! Thou
are but part of Spirit–Divine. Realize thy origin.”
Aasa M. 3. Chhant [441]
Thus Divine–Spark, mind, and Lord Supreme, Divine-Spirit are the

same in Essence. Without this realization, the alga of doubt is not rid
of. Gurmat Naam-devotee, with flourished spirit, alone comes to True
self-realization and thus establishes relationship with Supreme Lord
of Common Essence and comes to hold Vision of WAHEGURU, in
all Glorious Splendor. This way self comes to Realize Itself, finding ‘I
am He’, One-ness with Supreme Lord. However it does not imply
that ‘Sohan-So’ is Mantar for continuous recitation. Gurmat Naam–
Devotee, having realized ‘self’, continues to remain engrossed in
Naam-Devotion of Gurmantar, ‘WAHEGURU’.
So, ‘I am Lord Supreme’ (AhM b R m I) is not recognized for

Contemplation or recitation nor any devotional feelings accrue from
this. Gurmukh Naaam–Devotees, after realizing ‘self’, keep enjoying
enlightenment and Supreme-Bliss in their Naam-Devotion. They do
not get stuck after realization of ‘self’ nor do they gloat over the feeling
‘I am Supreme Lord!’ Once enlightened with Glory of Supreme Bliss
and enthused in Spirituality , where is the question of let up in devotion?
Never do they boast of ‘I am Supreme Lord!’ The conceited ones do
not even experience self-enlightenment nor Supreme Bliss of high
spirituality. The road leads further beyond self-realization. In complete
surrender, loving devotion becomes the sole occupation. Thus the
Supreme Bliss and self-enlightenment keep enhancing. This is Play-
Divine at Dasam Duar. Beyond the characteristics of worldliness this
is Fourth State known as ‘Unman Avastha’, State of Supreme Bliss of
194
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Sahaj. There one experiences Flashes of Divine-Light. This Effulgence

grows to be ever more engulfing. Further, Ethereal enchanting tinkle
of Music of Anhad is heard. There is incessant rain of Amrit from font
of Dasam Duar limitlessly as implied by ‘Nijhar’ and not mere
trickling. Similarly ‘Ajapa Jaap’ is misconstrued ‘Jaap’ that cannot be
recited with tongue.’ How can a ‘Jaap’ be thus construed? This
becomes contradictory in terms. It is logical to conclude that ‘Ajapa
Jaap’ in reality means ‘continuous recitation.’ In the same way ‘Nijhar
Jharn’ should be understood as font of continuous flow. Some other
learned ones interpret ‘Ajapa Jaap’ as the one without use of tongue
for utterance, but ‘Jaap’ by the heart. Even so, how is the negativity to
‘Jaap’ satisfied with ‘Jaap’ by heart? Is the heart more suited for ‘Jaap’
and not the tongue? Their reasoning is that it implies no movement of
lips or tongue or a movement in the regions of throat or palatal. However
can ‘Jaap of heart be without any involved stirring of the heart? Is
movement alone so inauspicious, that it must be avoided for ‘Ajapa
Jaap’? What is so great about avoiding a stirring or movement for
keeping sanctity of ‘Jaap’? Try hard how-so-ever one may, ‘Jaap’
cannot be fully devoid of a movement. Even the heart will be stirred
up and down during ‘Jaap’, because it shall be related with breathing
of up and down movement for ‘Jaap’. Yes, consciousness does not
involve a movement for ‘Simran’, contemplation. But then it cannot
be termed ‘Jaap.’ Thus a devotee muttering with heart alone and not
with tongue, comes to know what ‘Jaap’ without the tongue is. Says
Gurbani:
ibnu ijhvw jpY ihAwey Ò koeI jwxY kYsw nwau Ò 1256 Ò

“The one muttering with heart, without us of tongue, such a one
knows how ecstatic Naam is.” Malar M.1 [1256]
Even the foregoing quote does not refer to ‘Jaap’ that cannot be
muttered or recited. ‘Jaap’ is not limited to tongue alone. It is out of
place here to infer that ‘Ajapa’ does not involve any movement.
However devotional experience at Dasam Duar is most astonishing.
The Kabit of Bhai Gurdas Ji portraying this is as follows:
195

Gurmat Sahaj yogi deeply conscious of Naam in Holy company
with Divine-Love yearning takes his mind in flight to Dasam-
Duar with a forceful Naam-breath. This is akin to a fish going in
deep plunge in reverse flow with a thud of disturbed water.
Ceaseless recitation of Naam of Parent-Divine source, one is
blessed with self-realization and strong is the dazzle of supreme
state enlightenment of Divine-Light. Hearing Celestial Music,
most enchanting tinkling, there is incessant rain of Naam-Amrit
from Dasam-Duar. The experience of Effulgent–Naam-
Devotion is wondrous and astounding is the Faith of abiding at
Divine-Abode. 251. Var 37, Bhai Gurdas Ji
The following Kabit of Bhai Gurdas Ji is in line with my personal

glimpse, as reflected in the translated version:

In Gurmat-Sahaj-Yog ascension of Naam-Breath in flight to
Dasam-Duar is akin to forceful deep plunge of fish with a thud in
reverse. Here thrust is provided by total engrossment of
consciousness in Naam that not only reaches confluence of Eera,
Pingla and Sukhmana, breath carrier veins but also cross easily
the point of confluence, termed ‘Trikuti’. Beyond ‘Trikuti’ lies
Dasam-Duar, where the being of devotee lands up like thud of
dazzling steep reverse plunge of fish in water, without bothering
about the rigmarole of tedious Hatth yoga. Suddenly the reversed
Naam-breath of high spirituality Sahaj in Gurmat awareness of
196
WWW.AKJ.ORG
Shabad establishes Nectarian flow in wonderment and yet more

astounding reality of Ethereal Anhad materializes. Now with this
high accomplishment through Divine-Grace, there is incessant
rain of Naam-Amrit bestowing secretive drink of most exalting
Namm-Amrit with each breath. Ecstatic state of Supreme Bliss is
now perpetuated in enjoyment of Shabad, enchanting Anhad Music
and flooding of nectarian Naam-Amrit. In Divine- Occurrence,
having crossed ‘Trikuti’, one is graced with Ocean of Bliss, the
most ecstatic union of soul with Supreme Being. Dasam-Duar is
the exclusive Immaculate Abode of this spiritual union, ultimate
objective!
