Khushi

Its literally to connect you to higher self. Everything gurbani says is TRUE. Science is just catching up. Musk said we live in a simulation, Nanak Said we live in Maya (an illusionary reality). My higher self told me the whole point of life is to BE POSITIVE AND HELP OTHERS. This is what Chardi Kala and Sarbat Da Bhalla means. Im not saying I did alot of naam jaap but i must have done it in previous lives because I found the key to gurbani within myself and nobody can take this precious jewel of connection to NAAM (Higher Self)
i wish this for everyone without the false pretense of being humble. I AM NOT A SAINT. I simply realized the reality of what Guru Nanak Ji stated… we are not in our true home we are under the control of KAAL (demiurge)
our true Home is so beautiful… keep japping naam and keep an open mind. Dont go to much off others experiences. Find out for yourself.
waheguru.

The question and Dubidha i'm facing is that after approximately 7 times reading all Guru Granth Sahib and studying and listening to katha i can't understand where did Satguru disappear to when having a bathe in the River Bheni Sultanpur Lodhi.  Where did Satguru go to?  It is said that he went to Sachkhand, but Sachkhand as described in Japji Sahib is a formless realm and for 20 years i was always told a Gursikh goes to Sachkhand where God is.  But through study of Advaita Vedanta which is necessary to understand Gurbani there is no physical Sachkhand.
Bhai Gurdas Ji says that Satguru was given the honour of being Gurparmesar and Akal Purkh was Parbrahmparmesar this is confirmed in Jaap Sahib.
Akal Purkh said there is no difference between you and me.  In fact God only took on a physical body form named Guru Nanak.  The purpose was to redeem the world and save the world particlularly after India suffered over 9 centuries of Muslim rulel and now large God's Fauj is being prepared.  Sikhism has spread like wildfire across the globe Akali Nihang Sahib Singh Kaladharee said to the British that you are trying to kill us and we shall fill your country.  Obviously everything takes natures cause and things happen slowly and Baba Jarnail Singh Khalsa Ji said that Khalistan will happen after the terrorist extremists attack on the Golden Temple which is written in Sau Sakhi.
I need Kam1825 because he has translated Sant Gurbachan Singhs Books into English.  It will save me alot more time.  I also need to ask that i believe all the future is already determined.  Every persons karams have been already written.  Through my study of Bhagavat Gita it says this and also Dashmesh Pita Ji there is a sakhi he cut all the future lives (reincarnation) of a person in his dream and there is a story in the life of Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi (1880 -1950 CE) that he put his hand on the  heart of his mother and she was going through all her future lives in 20 seconds and then she became Jivan Mukat.  So if everything is determined (Einstein also has said this) then where does our own karma come into this?

I am a new naam abhiyaasi with Maharaj's grace. Recently, while doing jaap, I feel a nice tingly, warm sensation like a liquid slowly gathering/flowing in my forehead close to the hair line (I would say just beneath it). It feels very nice and throughout the jaap as my attention stays on my voice, it stays there. Its a sweet feeling, not too heavy just tingly. Once the jaap is over, it goes away.

Anyone guide what that could be?
Bhool chuk maaf if I wrote some things in a manner not right.

P.S. I have been following this thread since page 1 and have been inspired by brothers @Sat1176 @Lucky @HisServant posts and the kathas, links, they have shared. Also reading the book 'Forgetting the way of love' as it was recommended once by Sat1176 veerji.
 

Its great news that Baba Ji is coming to UK. I do know that nowdays most divans get published online or i have seen a lot of live streaming on facebook.
 
I can try to send you live facebook if you are interested. Also i have a friend who is a big follower of Baba Ji as they have held divans in his pind in Punjab.

KAMAYEE is never lost. It remains on your Atma blueprint for hundreds-thousands years of past lifetimes. It is the ONLY thng you take with you, The Naam Khajhaana that bani refers to, only stores Naam kamayee. Naam is the TRUTH and the the truth can never fade away or be wiped.

Yes, I have huge respect for them. His teachings align with Gurmat. He has Naam Kamai. His words have attraction and power.
Probably the only Sanatan Saint on youtube that I think is genuine. I have listened to others like Sadhguru etc but no one attracted me like him. 
When I listen to him I am reminded of the updesh of Baba Ishar Singh Ji , & Baba Nand Singh ji on how to do sewa of your isht & how to do prem with Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. 

I love Baba Mani Singh Jis bachan
Bhai Veer Singh Ji also used to say the same thing
Its all about love...prema bhagti.. Keep japping with your rasna and with time everything will happen automatically 

I was watching tv the other day and a teacher of another faith made a remark which got me thinking. He said until you don't have inner peace within yourself god will never come before you. Why? He said god knows that you've got troubles in your life and he knows if he came before you and asks what do you want? Most people will say please make this better or take that problem away or can I have this. He said god is above petty thoughts like this so won't waste his time. He said until you don't learn to be content within you will never meet god or have a godly experience.

Simple effective message I thought. Point noted.

Thank you @Kaur10 ji for nominating me. I only saw your message today.
I will surely contribute and mention the count here today itself.

Mala is an ancient device for keeping track of time (amongst other things).
In Guru Granth sahib, you will never hear Guru Sahibs say "meditate for 20 minutes" or "24 hours" or "meditate around the clock".
There were no clocks.
Their unit of measuring time was breath "meditate Shwas Giraas" meditate with every breath and every swallow, which translates to "meditate all the time".
Their unit of measuring time was the positioning of the sun "meditate Atth peher", which translated to "meditate 24 hours" or "meditate around the clock"
This is how tehy said to meditate all the time.
So what about specific amounts of time like "meditate for 20 minutes". Well that is done with a Mala. And it's a rough unit of measurement. It's your own personal unit of measurement.
Suppose - When you count on a mala, you can see that if you do 101 Malas that it goes from afternoon to evening, (roughly 3 hours in modern age).
So when you sit down with your eyes closed and going into a state of being, which is a state where you cannot keep track of time. Then you can rely on your Mala. You can do 101 Malas and you will know only 3 hours will pass by. 
You can focus on maintaining state, instead of worrying about time.
Can you imagine if you sit down to attempt samadhi and the whole day goes by because there are no clocks or alarms to tell you, you've been in smadhi for far too long? You will miss the day's work and all the chores you need to do.

Do you know those saints who went into Samadhi for days? Some even went into samadhi until their death and became fossilized!
Can a Grihasti banda afford to go through that?
That's the functional and practical aspect of having a mala. It acts like a timer, like an alarm clock.

If everyone would have thought in this manner there would have been No Gurbani, No Kabeer ji di, Fareed ji di or any other Bhagat bani for that matter. 
Why can't you be happy if you are getting to read few very  very nice things which have been missing on this forum since years now.. 
These kind of posts has disheartened Lucky veer ji, sat veer ji and others away from this forum. 
Please i request you and others agreeing to this post
- Shut UP -
pls let me and other hungry souls get some food for spirituality before I die of dryness in this pond till I don't find the DariyaaO / GurSagar myself. I am sure I will... He loves me- he shows it every time every day I am the blind one stuck up in the dirty mud of maya.. But he is kind, he will pull me just like he pulled out my bro @HisServant. It was such an amazing experience. I felt so relatable, though  I am only at a very lower step than you.  Many Congratulations to you in achieving such success at this age, keep going this is a never ending journey.... your words were really motivating, I felt if you can why can't I, after all m his loving daughter He loves me too. He will surely take me alonger too
Thankyou Heartily my brother @HisServant pls keep me updated and motivated, if you feel just 1% what these kind of posts say  pls send me a personal  message. I will be most thankful.. 
Lots of Love ❤ and asees veere

After listening to many Mahapurush,Kathavachaks etc, and reading books,  the appropriate response would be that keep at it, keep doing naam simran, you will realize everything from within, Guru is within, all the pleasant & blissful sensations are a blessing.  Mind will go through various phases, sometimes chardikala sometimes not so much, sometimes bliss sometimes surrounded by kaam, krodh etc. Just keep at it. 

I appreciate the kind words. But also my views on ideas like this have really changed. I don't think there is a beginner or expert. Everything (god) is already there. There's nothing to look for. I want you to watch this next video carefully:
^^^ I think this can be compared to how we see people. Both objects in each scenario are the same, but they're perceived as different. Just like how we see people. On the physical surface, just bones, flesh etc  - a biomechanical suit. Which is run by some sort of intelligence that has been shaped by a persons experiences (including previous lives), their upbringing, their family life, the "good" and "bad" things that have happened to them. Whether or not someone believes in "fate", it seems like it could still be argued that we don't have much control over our lives, even our own actions. If you had lived the exact same experiences as someone else, I think it would be likely that your actions would mimic them. So how can one be labeled as a "sinner" and one as a "saint"? 
During the heightened moments where everything is a bit more "clear" and the intuition is strong, it feels like I've just been living in "psychosis" my entire life. Just like when people see things that aren't there and they get sent to a psych ward for a mental illness evaluation. 
These are just my opinions in the current moment - things often change for me the deeper I go. 
^^^ And then in this video, how god is viewed. When she hides the toy, the kid thinks the toy has disappeared and doesn't know where it is. But it's always right in front of her. 
Just like this - In spirituality - where is god? who is the sinner and who is the saint? Who is the atheist and who is the religious person? 
A lot of perceptions really change - In some of the sessions it feels like the universe in within the mind instead of the body/mind complex being within the universe. Everything just flips. 
 

As for physical measurable experiences - 
"parkash" is a lot stronger and feels like a "tool". If I'm ever tired, I just sit in the place where there's light (when I say light I don't mean a literal light but more of a light that's colourless but also can get very bright - I know it's probably hard to try and figure out what that would look like). But sitting in that spot feels refreshing for the physical body. 
The mind lets go of the body in a very different way now. It's like it just dissolves and then all that's left is space. It's a very easy and smooth process. Just like sugar dissolving into water. And then eventually gets to the point where all memories, thoughts and sense of self is gone. There's this experience that happens where it feels like the mind is going through mini explosion type phases. The deeper and longer I sit in there, the more of a shock I go into once I wake up. Waking up from that state and transitioning back into the body feels like entering tregun for the first time. It's a literal shock for a second or two until I remember who I am again. 
It's like being in two different worlds - the physical world where the body lives life and then being non existent. 
But even when the mind is with the physical body that "non-existent state" still exists. 
It's very difficult to put labels on it and describe it but the best way I can put it is "I exist but also don't". It's like being a ball of energy in a physical body. And at times it feels like what "I" am or could be also exists outside of the body. 
The part of the body-mind complex that takes in sensory information is a lot more in tune with subtle energies as well. I feel a stronger collection of energy around the head. It's very heavy. I don't know how to explain this. 
And then at times it feels like the entire universe is inside the mind. I lived most of my life with the perspective that the universe is external and outside of the body. They felt like separate parts. But now it's like "everything else" is inside the thing that feels like "me". So as a result, everything feels like it's "me". BUT at the same time "me" feels like it does not exist so it's as if nothing actually exists. Again, "illusion" is the best term but it still doesn't describe what's being processed by the sensory system.
When I type all of this out it really does not make any sense but the experience itself makes sense when experienced. 
This is why I stopped telling my friends and family my experiences or updating on here. There's just no way to explain things anymore that make sense through language.
 
Edit: And to add to all of this - only the experiences that have a "visual" or "sound" or some other form of connection to tregun can actually be described. Anything that goes beyond the senses or cannot be connected to tregun using an analogy can't actually be put in writing. They're experienced but then the mind can't even properly remember them. 

This is just a blanket statement unless you know otherwise. Gyan is not that simple and it's not about just accepting that he's all.
There are many members in this thread that discuss specific and validated practices. Other members try their best to answer questions as explicitly as possible or guide towards a specific source where available.  No offense, but blanket statements or vague quotes are not what readers from all over the world look for in this particular thread.
Believe me, there are some members  that can see the brahm-jyot in and all around them if they put their dhyian there. But that's just a preliminary stage towards ever seeing the waheguru in all like Bhai Kanhaiya did whilst attending and comforting both muslims and sikhs on the same battlefield.     To say that great gurmukhs like him felt that stage by "just accepting he's all", is an insult to their avasthas.
There is so much kamayee needed before one can get to that stage and that gurmukh's surti would be in turiya avastha at ALL times whilst he's astool (physical) dehi is in maya.    
 

Blessings to everyone. 
I am writing this today in a bit of shock and disbelieve but at the same time a lot of peace and satisfaction. 
These past few weeks/months had been a bit of a rough sail for me. I had lost a lot of faith in spiritual teachers. I had been hearing and seeing a lot of drama that didn't sit well with me. So part of me fell off the boat a bit. I was still listening to shabad and looking at parkash. But I wasn't putting effort in to try and move further. I was sitting still. 
Something even worse happened in my personal life a few days ago. A very subtle but very strong attachment got pulled away from me. An attachment I didn't realize was there but was really consuming my mind. I'm not going to lie, I lost my stability. I was upset. Angry. Lost. Confused. And it had been a very long time since I experienced a pain that made me upset like that. 
I began isolating myself and really letting my mind be consumed by shabad and parkash because I knew that was the only way out of the trap I had fallen into. I had to work extremely hard. But just now I was laying on the floor looking at parkash internally. I opened my eyes to look at the parkash that exists externally. Mind was clear, no thoughts. And I had a realization. "This parkash exists both outside and inside... Are my physical eyes the one seeing them?..... And then all of a sudden I felt this third area of space. A place that wasn't the internal body, nor the external world. It was this place in the middle. I think it was beyond the mind or some extension of the mind. And sitting in that space there was just parkash. It was like looking at a new world with a new set of eyes. The best way I can describe this is by using the term "non-physical" eyes. 
It's as if the parkash outside and inside had become one. I cannot describe the amount of peace and contentment the mind and body feels sitting in that area. I don't know if it's correct for me to stay in that space. But I just wanted to write this out with the hopes that maybe someone knows what this is.
