Chakras not yet. Why are you seeing colours?

I believe I am hearing the anhad shabad which gurbani says is the voice of waheguru. It's very weak but becoming more and more present. I can't make out the instruments yet, it is a very strange sound. Hope it will become more clearer as I learn to listen to it and absorb myself into it.

Please note that my posts are my own personal experiences and I do not profess to be any kind of subject expert on the matter. Just a simple Guru Ka Sikh trying to walk on the path to meet my maker.... I leave the route he wants me to travel entirely in his hands.

Has anyone come across a proper 'list' of what happens on the journey of meditation? I believe it must be different for everyone according to their past lives etc. but has any mahapurakh clarified about this?

(Also, I don't mean 'Naam di Avastha' as Baba Hari Singh Randhawe wale have explained...but actually about what happens...as in what one begins to see and hear.)

Found the following shabad by Sri Guru Amar Das Ji quite inspiring on ang 425 as I progress with my reading of SGGS.

aasaa mehalaa 3 ||

Aasaa, Third Mehla:

sun man ma(n)n vasaae thoo(n) aapae aae milai maerae bhaaee ||

Listen, O mortal: enshrine His Name within your mind; He shall come to meet with you, O my Sibling of Destiny.

anadhin sachee bhagath kar sachai chith laaee ||1||

Night and day, center your consciousness on true devotional worship of the True Lord. ||1||

eaeko naam dhhiaae thoo(n) sukh paavehi maerae bhaaee ||

Meditate on the One Naam, and you shall find peace, O my Siblings of Destiny.

houmai dhoojaa dhoor kar vaddee vaddiaaee ||1|| rehaao ||

Eradicate egotism and duality (everything is Waheguru, there is no other than him), and your glory shall be glorious. ||1||Pause||

eis bhagathee no sur nar mun jan lochadhae vin sathigur paaee n jaae ||

The angels, humans and silent sages long for this devotional worship, but without the True Guru, it cannot be attained.

pa(n)ddith parradhae jothikee thin boojh n paae ||2||

The Pandits, the religious scholars, and the astrologers read their books, but they do not understand. ||2||

aapai thhai sabh rakhioun kishh kehan n jaaee ||

He Himself keeps all in His Hand; nothing else can be said.

aapae dhaee s paaeeai gur boojh bujhaaee ||3||

Whatever He gives, is received. The Guru has imparted this understanding to me. ||3||

jeea ja(n)th sabh this dhae sabhanaa kaa soee ||

All beings and creatures are His; He belongs to all.

ma(n)dhaa kis no aakheeai jae dhoojaa hoee ||4||

So who can we call bad, since there is no other? (Think we should all remember this one)

eiko hukam varathadhaa eaekaa sir kaaraa ||

The Command of the One Lord is pervading throughout; duty to the One Lord is upon the heads of all.

aap bhavaalee dhitheean a(n)thar lobh vikaaraa ||5||

He Himself has led them astray, and placed greed and corruption within their hearts. ||5||

eik aapae guramukh keethian boojhan veechaaraa ||

He has sanctified those few Gurmukhs who understand Him, and reflect upon Him.

bhagath bhee ounaa no bakhaseean a(n)thar bha(n)ddaaraa ||6||

He grants devotional worship to them, and within them is the treasure. ||6||

giaaneeaa no sabh sach hai sach sojhee hoee ||

The spiritual teachers know nothing but the Truth; they obtain true understanding.

oue bhulaaeae kisai dhae n bhulanhee sach jaanan soee ||7||

They are led astray by Him, but they do not go astray, because they know the True Lord. ||7||

ghar mehi pa(n)ch varathadhae pa(n)chae veechaaree ||

Within the homes of their bodies, the five passions are pervading, but here, the five are well-behaved.

naanak bin sathigur vas n aavanhee naam houmai maaree ||8||5||27||

O Nanak, without the True Guru, they are not overcome; through the Naam, the ego is conquered. ||8||5||27||

There is a little bit explained in Discources on the Beyond books written by Sant Waryam Singh. But it consists more of instructions of how to progress... I have heard that nothing beats having the sangat of someone who has actually gone through the stages because there will be many hurdles along the way and Maya will try its absolute best to hold you back or distract you on your path. For example when you start seeing lights of the different chakras/taats poeple can get lost by just looking at them thinking they made it. I don't even have the answer because I haven't seen any lights yet. I think you need to remain focused on the dhun because shabad is higher than taats/colours. Any kind of vision is considered maya and to be ignored. But to contradict that how will one know when Waheguru is staring one in the face? I guess only time will tell.

May Waheguru guide us all safely to his pavitar charan...

On this marg we have to be patient and persevere on, just have faith and keep walking. Myself included.

I'm really beginng to feel I shouldn't be writing all this stuff because I don't want be held responsible for leading anyone up the wrong path. If I say anything wrong or you guys out there feel too much is being said, please let me know and I will stop.

I read a pungti not long ago that said, first liberate yourself before you try and liberate others........ I am not trying to liberate anyone but merely inspire others to walk the path as I'm trying to do so. If you guys make it to waheguru first please let me him know his Sikh is trying to find him and be in his charan.

Oh! and I forgot to thank you for always updating this thread. Makes my day when I see another new post made into this thread. And no matter whether anyone's replying or not...you keep updating.

When I first starting 'following' this thread, it had probably about 900 views....and today it has more than 1200!!!!

That says quite a lot...doesn't it?

Any kind of vision is considered maya and to be ignored.

Only vision or sound as well?

What about the 'tunnel like' appearance after a couple of minutes? What does that mean?

I had always thought that the sounds that start playing according to the Waheguru Mantar 'vidhi' I chant, were made up by my mind. I kind of wished for it to go away (if it was my mind's play)... When it kept repeating every time I sat, I kinda felt really down because of my 'assumption' (?) of my mind doing it.

Reading your post has made me think about it again. I used to always think that the 'anhad shabad' would start suddenly and not with a faint sound in the beginning.

This is the very problem I have come to realise, no one is willing to tell us when we are hearing the anhad bani and how it manifests. I seriously recommend you read Discourses on the Beyond volume 3. Which briefly mentions visions and sounds.

From my own limited knowledge all I know is listen with 100% attention on the waheguru mantar to stop your thoughts and keep you mind in check and stop it from wondering, This is what i'm reading again and again in SGGS. When the anhad shabad begins to be heard then you focus on that which will take more effort. If your seeing visions and your mind is engaging and your thinking wow look at that then your mind is playing tricks on you and your kidding yourself that you have managed to still your mind. Place 100% faith in Waheguru shabad to take you where it wants to. Guru will take you when the time is right. The only place it will take you is back from where it came, i.e. Waheguru. But once again I can't say this enough you have to learn to still your thoughts. I can't even do that properly myself yet. Don't force yourself through tunnels unless some abyaasi pursh who you place full trust in instructs you to do so.

Even I'm confused about the anhad shabad, sometimes it gets really loud and sometimes I can hardly hear it. At which point I revert to the Waheguru mantar. Also if this thing becomes very loud how will I function day to day. Someone is talking to me and I can hear this sound in my ears. lol

The only nashani I know of for dasaam duar entry is anhad shabad will be heard there and also you will begin to smell a beautiful fragerance. Everthing else is just an illusion of maya to distract you. I hope someone with more experience will respond to you if they can help. As I read SGGS and something along these lines appears which might help us, I will post.

The problem I face, and I'm sure others out there also, is that we have been given too much knowledge of different techniques. Rather than starting from the beginning and progressing we know focus here focus there, you will see this you will see that. It all in our mind now so it won't be difficult for the mind to say let me give them what they are expecting. That is why again and again we are told just focus on the shabad only and you can't go wrong. tbh i'm not helping by posting my experience because i'm adding more fuel into our already over active minds. Become 0 then guru ji will fill you up with true knowledge which is practical not theoretical from books. I should really take my own advice because I am just as bad. We are too keen to know jugti's techniques, what will happen, i want this i want that. If the shabad does its magic we will be completely dead mentally when we meet waheguru, so any hopes, wishes and desires will be gone. Then at that point you will ask for TRUE NAAM and that ONLY. Even I don't know what that could possibly be.

Hope that helps, Ji.

I justed wanted to write a little example to help understand what I believe Guru ji is trying to instruct us with, because if you learn you apply this jugti then you watch how much more stable you mind becomes. You will then notice how when you don’t, you will automatically see how it breaks your inner peace.

I am sure you have heard countless saakhi’s of bhagats, mahapursh calling everyone they see WaheGuru. When I first heard this I found it a little strange, why on earth are they calling a person waheguru. I have even been to gurdwaras where this is normal practise. First I thought maybe they are japping naam after ever little phrase. Then when I started listening more and reading SGGS the light dawned.

These people are trying to develop what I believe is called bibek bhuddie. As guru ji instructs us to do in the pangti’s above and probably countless others. If you train your mind to see Waheguru in everyone who will you hate? who will you curse? who will you swear at? Who will you do nindiya off?

Then this is not just limited to people, look at Waheguru’s whole creation. Waheguru is inside that too but we just don’t have that divine sight to see his parkash in it yet, myself included. But slowly when you start bringing this line of thought into your mind you develop more peace/shanty of mind because you don’t want to hurt anyone or do their nindeya because indirectly your only adding more sins into your basket. And boy do we have millions of them already. This is how guru ji is instructing us how to conquer Krodh and the other vices gurbani talks about.

The day the penny dropped for me, I was waling down an escalator and below I saw hundreds of people, and the more I looked at them the more I smiled and just said Waheguru. Then I walked home I saw a tree and I looked at that tree and said to myself guru ji your in their too but one day please show yourself in your true light.

The more I remember to put this at the forefront of my mind, when ever a confrontation starts I have now come to hate it and think this person is has lost it and I wont let him destroy my inner piece which with his kirpa I am trying to so hard to develop. Just silently start japping waheguru in your mind and do not be drawn into any kind of confrontation. You see how most times the situation just dissolves itself.

If the other person doesn't stop, just step back with nimerta and say "Tuwno Jaadha Patha Ji" and walk away.

Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Waheguru.

Whoa! I didn't know this was actually a translation of Baat Agam Ki volumes!!! (just finished googling) We've got all of them. All of Baat Agam Ki, Kiv Sachiaara hoiye....and so many more! (Well, technically it's my Singh's collection.)

My Singh has actually been pestering me to read Baat Agam Ki....I've only read about 50 pages of the first book yet. There is just SO much to take in....it's not just a simple flowing novel. I've got a great reading speed for English (read all of the twilight series in a week back then!)....but reading these books is just something entirely different. You want to go through them very carefully and take everything in! Also, reading in Punjabi has taken a bit of time to speed up.

Anyways, thanks for the advice...I will surely start again on Baat Agam Ki.

Also, it is said that if one reads the entire Kiv Sachiara hoiye series, one is sure to get vairaag!

Don't force yourself through tunnels unless some abyaasi pursh who you place full trust in instructs you to do so.

Yeah, the focus should only be on the shabad and it just doesn't matter what goes on around it all. I think it is alright to just acknowledge that such and such is occurring but not dwell over it.

Also if this thing becomes very loud how will I function day to day. Someone is talking to me and I can hear this sound in my ears. lol

LOL! funnily enough...I had asked the same question once!

It won't go on outside of your meditative state.

That's not entirely true from what I hear, eventually you will be able to hear it 24-7. For the past few days mine has been on loads. I thought it would also manifest when you go internal and begin to close off the nine gates. But mine just starts even when I have my eyes open and my mind is still. Sometimes I wake up in the night and its happening. Just wish it was intoxicating to draw me to listen to it. I will see if I can post some relevant pages from Discourses from the Beyond which will shed some light.

Nope nothing visual or auditory for me. Just blackness of the eyes and silence of the room. I am experiencing sensations down my spine. If there are Chakras I think this might be it. I can somewhat sense things in my pelvic region, my stomach region is active, my chest region becomes pretty active (and heart starts pumping or I notice it more), my throat becomes very tight and lots of pressure there. My forehead is the most activ, it feels like something is applying a lot of pressure there. And then I have these tingling sensations at the top of my head, sometimes there is pressure. Body also heats up a bit. Becomes more than relaxed. But at the time time becomes full of energy and sometimes start shivering and shaking.

I believe I am hearing the anhad shabad which gurbani says is the voice of waheguru. It's very weak but becoming more and more present. I can't make out the instruments yet, it is a very strange sound. Hope it will become more clearer as I learn to listen to it and absorb myself into it.

My experience of the Anhat (unstruck) is blissful silence. To call it silence does not do it justice.

Please note that my posts are my own personal experiences and I do not profess to be any kind of subject expert on the matter. Just a simple Guru Ka Sikh trying to walk on the path to meet my maker.... I leave the route he wants me to travel entirely in his hands.

Veera just seeing if we can compare notes if there was something common in our experience. I haven't had the sounds and stuff that you have experienced.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us Bhagat Singh Ji. May Waheguru Ji bless us all with the deeper intensity of his naam simran.
