8. Meditation

WHAT WORDS TO MEDITATE UPON IN SIMRAN?

 
 
We will always tell you the truth, our job is to serve the truth only, but whatever your inner is self telling you just keep on doing it. Infact when we started we were doing – “sat naam shree waheguru ji”, then it changed by itself to “sat naam”, and then later on it changed to “ek oankaar sat naam”, then again it changed to “sat naam” and now there is nothing – complete silence only – the naam remains upto sach khand – but in the inner dargah – also called braham khand – where the akal takhat is – there is no naam at all there is only nirgun saroop of akal purakh – param jyot and puran parkash only  – and that is what has been explained in dassam patshah ji’s bani – jaap sahib.
 
 
While doing simran, just follow whatever words come in your mind – sometimes it will be a tuk from gurbani – or like sat kartaar or ek oankaar or akal murat or so, so just follow that hukam from your inside and keep on doing that. Never try to put your control on these shabads.
 
Just keep on doing whatever you are doing, there is nothing wrong in doing so. You will automatically switch to sat naam as time goes along, probably at this stage you are right you maight not be able to handle the power of sat naam siman so continue doing whatever is your inner voice is telling you to do.
 
 
 
 
 

CRITICISE YOURSELF

 
 
 
It is hard to point the finger toward ourselves, it is very easy to point the finger on others, but the one who finds his own faults and corrects them is dhan dhan, others are in ahankaar (pride), which is obviously the worst enemy of the soul and biggest hurdle between us and him.
 
 
 
The reason for people criticising others is their own insecurity due to andh agyaan and andh vishvaas, and this darkness can vanish only by naam simran, seva and parupkaar, there is no other way to wash this dirt from your mind, and this andh agyaan is distributed by the andh agyaanis and there are plenty of them on this earth.
 
 
 
 
 

SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE IN SMADHI

 
 
 
One of the most recent reward bestowed upon us by Shree Akaal Purakh Ji – on August 10 , 2002   Saturday morning we were sitting in Smadhi from about 4:00 am onwards, Gurbani was going on the CD player, we were sitting in Puran Parkash and with unusual Amrit Barkha was going on, became almost weightless, opened eyes around 6:00 am, looked at the watch, went back to Smadhi, and soon after that Param Jyot Puran Parkash – Paarbraham came took our Suksham Dehi out and took us with Him to a different Khand Brahmand, we were reciting Satnaam Satnaam, when landed on this unknown Khand Brahmand, we could open our eyes and speak as well but we were still doing Satnaam Satnaam in loud voice, then we realized there is Puran Parkash Param Jyot in front of us, whichever direction we went, the Param Jyot Puran Parkash was in front of us, then realized we should pray for full darshan, stood at one place closed our eyes and recited – Dhan Dhan Satgur Paar Braham Sarnai, Dhan Dhan Satgur Paar Braham Sarnai, and what wee see in front of us – the Param Jyot Puran Parkash that was in front of us became a Suksham Dehi – we did dandaut bandhna to Him, and felt his blessings in the spine area, hugged Him, He loved us so much that we were completely carried away by His presence right in front of us, then He told us to sit down, which we did – saying Jo Aap Daa Hukam Sir Mathe Te, and then He sat by our side, but we immediately stood up and said – sadhi jagah aap ji de charnaa vich hai, aasi aap de braber nahin beth sakde jee, sanoo baksh dawo jee, then we kissed His feet, and dusted His feet with our beard, and then put our head in His lap and went into very deep masti, told Him we don’t want to go back now and will stay here in Your Charans, after a while we realized that He was reciting Gurbani, at that point we said – Akaal Purakh Jee Aap Dhan Dhan Ho Jee – and we kept on reciting these words with un believable happiness, and we did so until our Suksham Dehi came back on earth, and even when we opened our eyes we were in so much happiness and reciting the same words – Akaal Purakh Jee Aap Dhan Dhan Ho Jee. When we came back we looked at the watch again it was 6:48 am, so we were with Him for about 45 minutes.  It is very hard to describe such an incident, because we don’t remember everything, and what you see is kind of un-describable, but still, we have tried to give you a glimpse of His Kirpa on this loon harami gunehgaar.
 
 
 

YOU ADVICE IS SIMPLE…DO SIMRAN

 
 
 
Only a person who is a Hans (spiritual swan) or moving on this path to become a Hans can pickup these Gyaan Ke Moti, and only such person who is destined to do so will do it, everybody can’t do it. So you are very fortunate ones who are taking these pearls inside your Hirda, these jewels will make your Hirda a Sant Hirda, a parupkaari Hirda. Our blessings are always with you. Your messages are full of love and we feel our seva is becoming safal, thanks a zillion to you all for your true love for Him and His Creations.
 
 
 

ARDAS

 
 
 
PLEASE REMIND US OF THE ARDAS TO DO WHEN THE MIND STARTS WANDERING IN SIMRAN? 
 
 
 
Mun tu jyot saroop hai apnaa mool pehchaan – kirpa karo din ke date – chit di ekagarta baksho mere pritam – es paapi nu balash lawo – aisi preet baksho ke es chit vich har vele teri yaad smaa jaye – esi bhagti le esi seva le ke es dehi da gul dastaa ban jaye – hum neechan ke neech gunehgaar loon harami – tu dyaal bakshan haara – sadhe paapaan nu baksha de – hum paapi wad gunehgaar tu bakshan haar.
 
 
 

KRODH

 
 
 
I FIND THAT KRODH IS PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE.  I GET FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY AT TIMES WITH MY FAMILY AND SNAP AT THEM.  MOSTLY I CONTROL IT  BUT WHEN I AM TIRED I BECOME IRRITABLE.    IT HAS BEEN WITH ME SINCE I GOT MARRIED AND ALTHOUGH I DONT GET TOO ANGRY – IT IS HOLDING ME BACK
 
 
 
The best way to calm down is to forgive the persons you are spitting your anger on. Khima is the tool that calms down the krodh, krodh and ahankaar are complementary to each other, ahankaar bring krodh, and it resides in the head of a person, so whenever you feel anger is coming out, strike it with  satnaam vaheguru ka hathoda and forgive the person who is prompting you to become angry, this way krodh will disappear. Again read our articles on Panj Doot and spiritual cleaning process.
 
 
 

CANT UNDERSTAND GURBANI’S TRUE MEANINGS

 
 
 
For the time being forget about everything else and just concentrate on Naam Simran, once Jyot inside you is ignited and you are instituted in Karam Khand, and you go in to deep meditation – smadhi and sun smadhi, then after some time you will start understanding the spirituality hidden in Gurbani by yourself, you will not need to read any translations, you have already studied too much of Gurbani and have done enough of Kirtan and Path, now concentrate on your soul and mind and put all your force on Naam Simran, that is the only thing which will bring you up faster from the current situation, and increase and enhance your spirituality.
 
 
 
 
 

BECOMING THE JYOT

 
 
 
Whatever we are writing and telling to the Gursangat is an absolute truth based on our own personal eternal spiritual experiences, it is not just a hear-say, we have done whatever we are telling others to do, the Creator is always bigger than its Creation, Guru Nanak is bigger than Shree Guru Granth Sahib Jee, because He did whatever the Granth says and became Nirankar Roop, Jivat Jagat Pargatyeo Jyot, and then wrote it down, so were other Guru Patshahians, so who is bigger, when Granth says, Braham Gyani aap Parmesar.
 
 
 
Think it over, you are struck with this illusion, Jyot is bigger, the one who does so becomes a living Granth himself, that is what Braham Gyani means, the entity who is knowledgeable about Braham, and Gurbani is all Braham Gyan.
 
 
 
 
 

RESPECTING GURMUKHS

 
 
 
You should also address all souls involved in Bhagtee with at least a Ji, we will appreciate if you can give some respect to the Gurmukh Ji you are referring to as just Gurmukh, if you want to learn anything from him.
 
 
 

GAINING FORGIVENESS FOR SLANDERING A SANT 

 
 
We appreciate your confession, it is great that at least you are confessing your misdeeds, there is a lot of goodness hidden inside you, your Purbley Janam Ke Ankur and your previous Bhagtee is there that is why you keep on coming back to us, but you need to do more than that, you have betrayed a Puran Sant Satguru, a Puran Braham Gyani, and not only that you have done Nindya as well, and all your difficulties are due to these deeds of yours, and do you think that you will be able to get away by doing this, if so this is your biggest illusion, confession before Baba Ji will be the right thing to do, we will not ask you to come personally, but at least you can call Him, as you have done in the past and we will pray for forgiveness of your misdeeds. Hopefully you will be able to recover from the damage you have inflicted upon yourself by doing so. It is up to you whatever you want to do we will welcome your decision. We have always been truthful to you, we will always be truthful to you, and we will always like you to go in Chad Di Kala.
 
 
 
No body else is to be blamed for our own Karni, and you say that you understand it, then why don’t you bring it inside, improve upon your Karni.  Even if you are being told by somebody else to slander, then you have to use the divine wisdom to find an answer to the situation.   It was your own mind and your own Karni, and if you do such things then how can you expect to bring divinity inside yourself, if you don’t do Gurmat, and instead indulge in Munnmat, Sansarik Matt and Durmatt, then how do you expect the spirituality to come inside you, these are some of the serious mistakes you have made and you need to sit down and learn from these mistakes.
 
 
 
You are not in a position to judge others yet, and that too the Karni of a Puran Braham Gyani, do you think that has helped you, and you have done good to others by restoring to Nindya of Satnaam Parivaar, and by doing so you have indulged yourself in the Nindya of Braham Himself, yet you expect to get over these problems you have been facing by being enemy to the Eternal Truth?
 
 
 
Baba Ji has always told us to become a Granth – means a Braham Gyani, to bring the entire Gyan of the Granth inside us, He has done all His Bhagtee in the Hazoorie of Shree Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and your evaluation of the situation about the Gursangat and Dhan Dhan Shree Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a false one, we are still awaiting an answer to the following question from you:
 
 
 
Tell us a place in the entire universe where the Braham is not present, is he not under your feet, above your head, behind you, in front of you, where is He not present, and if and when you find an answer from your inside then 90% of your illusions will disappear.
 
 
 
We are extremely thankful to you for your message keep it up these messages might change your life again.
 
 
 

RESPONSE TO WORLDWIDE SLANDER OF BABA JI

 

The complete truth is too pure to be absorbed by the so called religious leaders:  Jesus Christ was crucified for telling the complete truth, Guru Arjun Dev Ji (Pancham Patshah) was put on tatti tavi, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji was slained in broad day light, Dassam Patshah sacrificed his entire family for truth, he was left alone when he came to the jungles of Machiwara and so on endless examples, Guru Nanak Patshah was called Kurahia, Betala, and bhagat Prehlaad was punished by his own father and so on, the history is repeating again, we were reading a book written by Baba Ishar Singh Ji Rarewale; he said the same thing if the bhagat tell the truth he will have to face the worldly resistance, because nobody is going to believe him, sant Kabir was once sitting on the roadside and was telling everyone passed by him: God is under my feet, God is under my feet, people thought he has gone crazy, but he was not crazy, the crazy were the people who called him crazy, because is there a place in the entire universe where the God is not present ? is there a place anywhere you can think the God is not present, when we call him Omni Present, then where is the question of God being not present under your feet ?  He is the one who is making you stand and walk on your legs, even the legs and body is his, there is nothing that belongs to us, that is haumai if we say so, only thing that is ours is God Himself, and that illusion is also gone once the soul merges with Almighty.
 
 

ARDAS

 

Just ask for Naam, Bhagtee and Seva, maha parupkaar, aap tarey auron ko tarey; jan parupkaari aye jeedaan dey bhagtee layan hari seuon len milaye, jan parupkari aaye.  You are doing great just keep it up, let nothing distract you from this path of truth. God is your ang sang always.
 
 
 

HOW DOES ONE GET INTO SUNN SAMADI AND HOW DOES ONE KNOW HE’S IN IT?

 

The Sunn Samadhi is a complete thoughtlessness or blank stage and there remains nothing in such a stage, it is impossible to predict or estimate when will you go in to such a stage, when you continue doing simran concentrating in your hirda or surat, sometimes you will go in to such a stage by itself, it is all Gur Kirpa, so when you sit in for doing Naam Simran pray for Smadhee and Sunn Smadhee, and you will eventually go in to such a stage. We when sit for Naam Simran just say: Sunn Smaadh Anhad Naad  Bismaad; that is what Baba Ji used to say; and normally after a few minutes we go in to Sunn Smadhee. Some time in Sunn Smadhee we leave our body and go on seeing various Alokik Nazzare, Sunder Nagree, Sants and Bhagats and so on. While doing Naam Simran for long hours, if your eyes become sleepy and harder to open when you come back then only you went to sleep, but if your eyes were as light as a flower then that was not sleep, it was Sunn Smadhee. Again this all happens by itself, just pray for it and go in to meditation and it will happen by itself. Sunn Smadhee is the best of all: Sunn Smaadh Maha Parmarath; Sunn Kala: means the power of the thoughtlessness, complete silence is the highest spiritual power, we have written an article on the Sunn Kalaa, you might have read it, if not please let us know and we will send you a copy.
 
 

STAYING AWAKE

 

WHEN YOU DID SIMRAN FOR LONG HOURS, WERE YOU LYING ON A BED OR SITTING PHYSICALLY IN THE LOTUS POSITION? CAN YOU GIVE US ANY TIPS IN TERMS OF STAYING AWAKE FOR LONG HOURS?
 
 
 
We could not sit on the floor in lotus position at all due to lower back stiffness problems, so we chose to sit in a comfortable sofa chair in Sukh Assan, just completely relaxed position, no body stress or strains at all. Staying awake for long hours is only a Gur Parsaad and you can pray for it; and if you do so you will get it. But once the Naam Goes on auto mode then it doesn’t matter; and also when Naam goes in to Rom Rom then it becomes very easy, you can hear Naam whenever you want going on in surat, hirda and all parts of the body. When you wake up in early hours take a complete shower, wet your hair and keep them wet don’t dry them; that will help you.
 
 
 

FOCUS

 
 
 
WHEN YOU DID SIMRAN, DID U FOCUS ON YOUR FOREHEAD ALWAYS, HIRDA OR CONTINOUSLY FOCUSED ALL OVER LIKE A MALA?
 
 
 
Started with focus on the forehead – Trikuti Area; and then the Naam moved to Hirda, Nabhi and all over the spine by itself; didn’t pay any attention at all to it. It was all Baba Ji’s Gur Kirpa that made it all happen. For you concentration on Hirda will be very good at this point. It will become a mala by itself. You can only pray; we pray: Humrey Keeye Kichu Naa Hoye Karey Karawey Aap Hi Aap; Jivey Jiv Hukam Tivey Tiv Kaar; Jo Tudh Bhawey Sahi Bhali Kaar; Jivey Jiv Tera Hukam Tivey Tiv Howna; Hum Bhikhat Bhikhaaree Tere Tu Nijpat Hai Data.
 
 

SOUNDS

 
 
SOMETIMES, WE HEAR SOME NOISES, LIKE WIND TYPE NOISE.. WHAT IS THAT AND WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?

 

These are not noises; they are called anhad naad dhunis – eternal music; this is the Akhand Kirtan coming from the Brahamand and Dargah. So concentrate on these musical tunes and you will enjoy them more and more; eventually these musical sounds will become very prominent and you will hear them all the time. There are five musical notes that are combined and are heard in Dassam Duaar; Gurbani has called this as the real Amrit: Anhad Shabad Dassam Duaar Wajjyea Taa Amrit Naam Chuaayea Thaa, this is the continuous recitation of the divine music; the Gurbani also emenates from this music. This is a very high spiritual stage, so keep it up, you are doing great and will do better and better.
DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A TAPE / CD PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND WHILST IN SIMRAN OR JUST LEFT THINGS QUIET?

 

Infact we never used any CD or tape at all; our Smadhee and Sunn Smadhee came very quickly; the Dassam Duaar opened in a few months; Puran Parkash of the body in a few months of Baba Ji’s Sangat, everything happened so fast and magically could not believe it, it was all Baba Ji’s Gur Kirpa. We have been extremely fortunate in spiritual progress with the Gur Kirpa of Baba Ji; the Naam went in to Rom Rom with in a few months of the Sangat with him.

WHAT’S YOUR TARGET

 

All we care to know is that Param Padvi is Jivan Mukti and such a spiritual stage is the Sach Khand, we don’t even care about that anymore, just simran seva and parupkaar is the thrust, don’t worry or think of such things anymore. Whatever is in store for you will happen by itself, if you are destined for Sach Khand no matter what happens you will reach there, if you are destined for Swarg or Narak no matter what you do that will happen for sure, so do your bandgi, get to the Braham Gyan Stage, Jivan Mukti and Param Padvi and then you will know all about such things about the world and yourself, so the key is your bandgi, stop wasting your time in such fruitless efforts and thinging pattern, control over Panj Doots, desires and Maya and you will do fine,  you are not going to compete with others, there is no competetion in spirituality, it is all Gur Kirpa that matters, and that is what will take you to the place where you are destined for.

 

COMPLETE YOUR BHAGATI

 

 

We have always told you the truth, and this time again we are telling you the truth, you have seen your friends as well, their commitment and belief has taken them to such levels, and so will your too, but remember the depth of the belief and commitment can’t be measured, or there is no limit to these divine qualities, so forget about rest of the universe and just concentrate on yourself for the time being, first complete your Bandgi, and then you will get a lot of chance to help and serve the others.
Thanks for your love and your service to the Almighty; we are sure that your destination is in the Charans of the Akal Purakh, sooner or later you will be there, so keep it up concentrate on Bandgi and get out of all the doubts and dubidha.
 
 

WHAT DOES AKATH KATHA MEAN?

 

Akath Katha means the story of indescribable, the story of the infinite, the qualities of the Paar Braham Parmesar, the divinity and the spirituality, the story of the only Doer and the only Creator, it is the Mahima of Aprampaar, it is the description of the Agam Agochar, the one who can’t be seen by the five senses, it is the story of the unlimited mansarovar – sea of the divinity, the world Akath pertains to the Almighty and the Katha means the story, since nobody has been able to discover Him completely, and nobody can do so ever, so how can somebody tell the complete story or complete description of Akal Purakh, He can’t be measured, can’t be judged and can’t be described in words, there are no words that can describe the Him in His completeness, because He is Anant, Apaar, Beant and Agam, so that is the meaning of Akath Katha.
