"the only one there who is allowed into the Sach Khand" I don't understand what you mean by this.

Gurbani says, Sach Khand vessai Nirangkar, ....."

What is the full verse which goes ".....gurbani kehay, sewak jan manney, parthkh guru nistarai"

Can anyone touch on this verse please?

Shaheediyan, your article is inspiring. I could preject myself and join in the Nagar Kirtan narration you expressed. It charged me up and I forgot all about my tiredness. Good work. Bravo!

Yes I've seen the full video before. I was handed a free VCD about a year ago. I liked it. Giani Sant Singh Maskeen also spoke later telling about another miracle story with reference to Gurbani.

What is your opinion of receiving Darshan in a dream ? I've had this dream of a Sikh leader twice the same person, and in a third dream another sikh leader. The last time was with one wearing white pehrawa and doing kirtan (without musical instruments) I was also singing beside him in a congregation.

I clearly understand your position here. I respect you, judging from most of your postings. Now I have made peace with myself. I don't deny that I get sacarstic sometimes. Since I am being broadcasted as a 'spoiler' I will ask permission to reply any thread. This is the best I can do. I also want to show 'em my subtler side of my personality. I am beginning to 'settle down' to become calmer and more relaxed. Forgive me for being nasty. I ask everybody's forgiveness here. Enough is enough. I promise. Just tell Jawanmard not to cross my path, it will help me.

Ok, I agree. Thank you for your ever-loving presence.

Thank you Harbhajan for this article.

Anybody interested in Sankaracharya's Maya theory as compared to Einstein's Law of Relativity? All of you are welcomed.

I get your point. Let's co-operate.

Shankarachariya's expounded theory of Maya is parallel to Einstein's Law of Relativity. Details can be found in Paul Twitchell's book "Dialogues with the Master".

All you had to do is ignore any irrevelance to 'your' article. Since you have shown great interest in Salil Chowdary's article and also mentioned "Some interesting points that are also related to Gurmat Sangeet" I thought you would be open to further discussion on Gurmat Music.

I didn't know that you were not expecting a response in this fashion.

I guess you are not in a position to frankly discuss Gurmat. Rather you cloak yourself questionably.

I wish to mention something about Gurmat music and today's social pace. The whole idea of Sikhism was to provide the people with practical and up-to-date way of life. Maryada works well in a controlled environment and such environment does have a positive effect on the individual. Gurdwara is one such environment.

Basically one has to separate culture from religion. Indian is cultural. So is indian music. If African blacks start becoming Sikhs, they will blend THEIR culture into it. Their music into it. Their language into it. Of course, there will naturally be a spill over of indian influence and indian music while singing Gurbani kirtan. They learn by copying.

Now I would like to widen your perception on this cultural difference between Black, White and Brown Sikhs. Now wish to ask you about Maryada as a whole. Is it practical or forceful to follow Maryada?

Ram, Rahim, Puran, Kuran,

Anekh Kehay Mat ek na maniyo.

I don't believe anything written in the Quran. It is misleading.

Make individuals about to take Amrit go through a cleansing process. This could result in a funny feeling of discomfort. Thought-forms will start running like a scan-disk - files are separated and partially viewed (mainly negative files) because the cleansing process is going to auto-eraze them and their disturbing influence.

Taking Amrit has a profound impact on the Astral body or Sukhsham Sharir. Before the Amrit ceremony, entities previously hosting on you as parasites begin to leave because they cannot stand the positive energy which is going to be given to you.

This results on a feeling of 'being in a twilight zone' similar to a trance state. It is actually a feeling of lightness after a huge burden is removed.

5 pyare, 5 banis, khanda, bata, 5 Ks is not a ritual. Neither are they symbols. They are tools used in a beautiful formula to ensure that you safely get to Sach Khand (the fifth plane - where Satnam is realized as a power equal to a billion suns). This description of Satnam is limited to the human consciousness and used in a figure of speech to express 'unlimited power' which one has never felt before.

Rolling of tears during the Amrit paan is a natural process. One should willingly let tears roll, men and women alike.

I also like to comment over here. I would like to touch on the subject of Sadhana. Btw, N30 has made a point about the needed awareness of knowledge. But I feel that such knowledge should be sought after only when the dire need arises. On the individual level, one should first understand that what is most important is life itself. By this I mean, without your respiratory system, you couldn't possible be alive.

So one has to go back to basics first. The very thing that keeps us alive via breath is taken for granted as if it is the least important thing in our lives.

Every breath is as priceless as stated in Gurbani. We are utilizing this breaths either to become more self-aware or for entertaining the mind.

Mind is the time-waster. Mind has no problem reading or writing a religions book full of spiritual principles. But when you sit down to do your meditation, the mind won't let you, because it is no more in-charge of your life. So you have to emerge on your own strength with the help of a meditation group to get involved in Naam Simran. It has to be done now because there is no such thing as tomorrow. I'm sure your mind is getting amused reading this article. YOU be in charge from now.

Just let me ask you one question ? What do you stive to achieve in life?

Is Mind necessary to obtain Gian ? Of course, please don't take this as an attack. It isn't my intention to anyway. But, definitely you may figure out some fragment of an answer to put across to me in reply.
