Can anyone explain what does matrix mean in terms of spirituality. What does it mean according to gurbani.

I’ve heard about this too. There’s a documentary as well DMT the spirit molecule. Would like to know the views on this.

Who says? 

Read the previous posts on this and I’ve heard some other people saying not to do that some like preachers and some other says one should. Reasons not known

That's an example of chakra meditation. You are putting your attention on the agya chakra located at the eyes.

Hanji. But why is that people say not to do that. Not to focus on agya chakra

With meditation, it is all about fixating your attention on one point. So if you are doing a chakra meditation, then you pick a chakra, any chakra, and you fixate your attention on that. Your attention may wander, just reel it back in everytime.

It doesn't have to be a chakra though, you could do the same with another technique. Picking 1 sensory stimulus in that technique, like the sound of Ram naam in naam simran, and fixating your attention on that.

I don’t do chakra meditation. But when I do simran I put my attention between eyebrows because that’s what I find the most easiest way to focus or maybe it’s because now  I’m so use to concentrate on third eye... if I try to focus on heart chakra or anywhere else it wanders easily thn have to bring it back there. But so many people say one shouldn’t focus on third eye.

What is a locus of awareness? locus of consciousness?

It is the seat of consciousness in the body. The default position for it is in the head, in the agya chakra.

When you are able to concentrate well enough, you can move this seat into your belly, your heart, your feet, etc. Then it will seem as if you are located in your belly and your head is above you.

You can even move this locus of awareness above your head, and outside of the body. When you do that then it is known as an Out of Body Experience.

This use to happen with me a lot before. Now it rarely happens. Don’t know what’s going on with me now where am I going.. 😔  I didn’t know it’s called locus of awareness but thanks to u.. amazing topic.. after reading ur and happy days posts I’m confused where one should be keeping their dhyaan.. where??

Those who practise celibacy, married or not, Rishis or not, practise it not because sex is a sin/bad/evil, but because it's not compatible with their preferred lifestyle. They see it a a hindrance to their specific goals, goals I might add, which the majority are not aiming for nor intend to.

Absolutely correct..

Fair enough, but that is their interpretation. Plus Sants/Babe are not infallible IMO. Also, what they say does not apply to everyone.

What about to strengthen the bond between man and wife? Sex is more than just for pleasure. If it is only for procreation, then why get married in the first place? It does not make sense logically. Why such importance on Anand Kaaraj or on married life? Why not just have babies out of wedlock?

Science is so advanced now, why don't people use that to produce children? Because according to what you're saying, sex is now obsolete.

This is a extreme and somewhat ridiculous observation. So that means having sex for the purpose of procreation is also a sin which is even more ridiculous.

That means pretty much everything we do is a sin.

I do know what it means. I may be new to this forum but I'm not new to Sikhi! Good point, I only know of one Sikh who keeps Bibek. Never met him though.

Now I'm confused. So Guru Sahib has given permission to enjoy sex for pleasure? You do have a good point about wasting energy. But many people waste energy on other things too, such is unavoidable in grist jeevan.

Sex can also have a spiritual component.

Fight the demon of kaam by having each other as on outlet in the sanctity of marriage. Different Sangat play different roles. If you cannot have sex with your partner except for procreation, then again, why not just have kids out of wedlock and use other Sangat to help you fight kaam?

 

Lastly you seem to be making a huge assumption that every Sikh is reaching for Brahmgyaanihood, which if you look at reality, is never gonna happen.

 

I agree with u on this..👍🏻 So many people think sex is a sin. We are suppose to keep sex under control and not keep thinking it’s a sin even with our partner in marriage. Everything becomes sin when not under control.. it doesn’t apply only for sex.

Brother Shivam,

Naam, is within each and every jeeva, irrespective of any dharam,caste, color, creed, age, or gender, or be it a mahapurukh, or a theif, dacoit or a non believer, it is within each and everyone of us. Nam is the highest level of consciousness, with countless virtues, can be summarized in as we all know: Sach/Truth-  Chit/Pure Consciousness - Anand/Bliss

it is not that it is only within sikhs, or hindus,  and not in muslims, christians, buddhists, ...etc, for Nam is the Origin, the Creator of everything.

Guru Jee, in the begining of the Mool Mantar clearly says: Ik Oankar,  Sat-Nam.  He says: there is only One Lord Creator, which is Nam, and that Nam is sat/sach, which means, it is the only eternal  everlasting Truth. That is why Guru Jee called it Sat-Nam.

Moreover the Bani referring to that Nam, tells us : Aad Sach, jugaad Sach, hae bhee Sach, Nanak hosee bhee sach.

This Nam, is also referred in the Bani as: Shabad, Sachee Bani, Dhur kee Bani, Amrit, Amrit Bani, Anahad Bani....etc. 

The thing is many of us, take Nam literally as a mantar, a word or something utter able, be it in any language. 

But let us ask ourselves, if Nam was a word, a phrase, or a couplet of words, that would not be possible, cause how can a word or a handful of words create the infinite creation? 

Moreover, in what language?

For when He exists alone by Himself, since the very beginning, who was there to address Him, or call Him? With which mouth, or in which language?

He, can be described as an Infinite Ocean of Light and Shabad or Dhun. So if in manner, if the sun has no caste or creed, what caste or creed can a mamulee jeeva atma, a ray of that Light, have?  If an ocean has no caste or careed, what caste or creed can  a mamulee drop of that ocean have? it is by braham we say we are tis or that one is so, or so.  And due to that braham, fools blinded by the agyanta, and under hatred, ahankar and ego, fight and kill in the name of dharam/religion.

That also, when in the Bani, referring to that primal force as  Jot/Light, clearly says : Sabh meh Jot, Jot hae soee.  That Nam is Jot, and that very jot is within every being as a ray of that Jot.

There can be many words, in many languages, to describe that One Truth, but all aim to that ultimate reality. Christians call it Word or Logos, muslims call it Kun, chinese call it Tao, etc

Now, what you call Naam Daan,  it is not that, Naam is given to anybody, because as said before, Nam is within everybody already, without it we can not even exist for a second. When He infuses that ray of Nam within anybody, that being becomes conscious being/living being, be it in any joonee. And when He withdraws, that ray of Nam, we cease to exist, and parlays, and mahaparlays take place, and creation at all levels also comes to an end, until once again, He, Wahiguru Akal Purukh, out of His mauj, want to create again.

So you see, what you refer as Naam daan, I would say, is a technique, a jugtee, to make pargat that Nam within us, which already exists, but of which due to the filth of our karmas, vices, man, maya, sanskaras, senses, we are unable to perceive that reality of Nam.

So brother, if the path of Radha Soami Satsang Beas, tells you to wait until you are 25, then try to read more literature, read the Bani, in order to understand and convince yourself, what is right for you, do not rush into anything.

The path is already within also,  and if you are to tread that path, or any other, do not worry, nobody can ever push you away, nor pull you along, for your destiny is only yours, it is a matter of time only.

For the mean time, as brother das has written in his post, keep an eye on your karam, in order to stay clean, and do seva as he has suggested also.

Stay blessed.

Sat Sree Akal.

In response to this, i kindly explained..

 

Maybe a misunderstanding?  no problem, perfectly normal

Oh ok I said that like that was a question from me to that poster coz he said don’t get stuck in counting and ego something like that. So I was asking him like what counting and ego.. 🙏🏻 Hanji misunderstanding ji.

Dont be vested into count downs, dont let ego take ownership of jaap, dont let mind focus and fragment absolute reality into relative reality- self phalna phalna singh or kaur doing the jaap....just DO it/see it or feel it

How counting or doing x amount of Jaap leads to ego.. I think ego can still overtake when u do khulla pehra. Why it’s always considered that chalisa is useless and its always said that it’s the ego of a person.. I think it’s the intentions that matters whether if rememberance is done under a specific amount of time or u do it unconditionally.. whatever u said is absolutely correct that it’s not us or me who does the Jaap but it’s the mindset of a person so I think we can’t say everyone who does is egotistic.. I still have ego and ego isn’t something that can be won over night for a sinner like me but These X amount of Jaaps can help in getting over haumai if done with true intentions.

Bhen ji i heard in Gyani Thakur Singh's katha that it can be done half half 50/50 of 32 jaaps or malas. I don't have the link right now but its ok as he said it in his katha that Baba Harnam Singh Ji Rampurkhera Wale said its as they did 16 in morning 16 in evening.

Oh ok thank u so much.. 🙂

I've spoken with Gyani Takhur Singh ji about this.

 

Here's the maryada:

 

Make bhog and do ardass at the start.

While doing the jaap sit on a white sheet wearing white clothes. Have water in a container near you and have a quoi (ghee) jot lit. After doing your jaap for the day splash chitey from the water around your paath room (it's good somehow, not sure if it's a necessary part of maryada) and then drink the water.

At the end make bhog and do ardass.

 

Here's the numbers for each day:

 

Gurmantr jap 108 mala

Mool mantr 32 mala

Chachree chand, Tav Prasaad mantr 32 mala

Sukhmani Sahib 5 paaths

Japji Sahib 25 paaths.

 

This takes 40 days to complete. All of the above are equivalent.

For mool mantar it’s 32 mala per day right (108 beads).. can a person do 16 mala in the morning and again 16 mala in the evening or have to do 32 mala at one time it could be morning or evening.. if u can answer plz do I’ll be grateful

Waheguru ji,

During simran, I start hearing my heartbeat as soon as I start Mansik Jaap. I have no idea what to do as this is becoming distracting. Please help..

 

That shouldn’t be a distraction..

And if someone can explain its actual meaning to me that would be great.

I’m not saying why nihangs do it

and I would like to clarify  this my own statement as I remember somewhere in some other post maybe I wrote it that why do nihangs do jhatkta and marijuana.. and now I mentioned this.. it’s because before I didn’t know that they use to go for horse riding and I completely forgot about some of them also do gatka practice so that’s why I wrote that before and now this.. and the reason I’m clarifying this beforehand is because there are some people who only look at the mistakes of a person and it has happened to me before and thn they start an argument over little things. 🙏🏻

I see what you mean phenji. I would have to disagree though. It's not out of desperaration

Ok so I would’ve used some other word. So U got my point. And Those cough syrups are banned here now..  thanks for ur time 🙏🏻

so what I mean is whatever their life style is (nihangs) and  I know I shouldn’t be mentioning not all of the nihangs but those who does have a strict and hard kind of life style where they might need to use it (and I didn’t know there are some nihangs who does go for horse riding nowadays so thanks for telling me that) but because of that there’s so many people who do it I would say misuse it and say we are allowed that’s what I think is not right. But who can make them understand this.. those who actually want to get high on it (when they don’t need it) they just do it and justify it on the name of god. That’s what my whole point is I’m not saying why nihangs do it coz I havent lived their lifestyle but for people like me who has a normal life we don’t need to do it..

Edit- cough syrup isn't a good comparison

I wasn’t comparing the two at all. I was just giving u an example like how desperate some of the youth are to get just high on something so they are going for cough syrups..
