Very small human attempt to start meaning of gurbani spiritual terms


Recommended Posts

Here is very small limited human attempt to start meaning of Gurbani spiritual/adhyatam terms..As always gurbani terms due to its both nirgun-absolute and relative - sargun nature would have multiple meanings to fit various seekers/various spiritual aspritants at various different stages/aspects of divine . I am hoping other members will contribute and add to this thread:

1. Surat  - depending on context means limited consciousness, unlimited unconfined consciousness, divine love, awakened love/intellect please this thread for more info:

2.  Raat term mentioned in baba farid ji- blood, love

3. Anubhav parkash - intuitive bhramgyan knowledge (nirgun), divine revelation form of insight, roop-darshan-sargun

4. Gurparsad - Gur- pure consciousness/awareness/chatina/knowledge parsad - pure bliss - Gur- Physical Guru parsad- grace- grace of both inner and outer Guru.

5. Satnaam - Truth(eternal) Naam (Pure awareness/Consciousness/knowledge) , Satnaam (eternal) Naam - unbroken current- dhun naam shabad

6. Liv shabad - Unbroken current of shabad / Unbroken pure reality- pure existence consciousness

7. Chit- mind, consciouness

8. Akhand - unbroken without breaks

9 Achaal Morat - pure stillness being without any thoughts/forna

12. Parkash - light /knowledge

13 Jot - light/knowledge/awakened knowledge/awareness

14 Advai purkh - non dual lord

15. Avdhoot - ? Not sure if someone can provide meaning of it that be great

16. Neti Neti - not this not that not this not that - usually an technique to reach bhramgyan with substraction/negation

17. Avdhoot - Nirlaip- without attachment

18. Man - Mind but also refers to atma - as pure mind is achal refers to real self.

19. Raam - all pervading divine reality infused everywhere - raamya hoya
