    That perception needs to change ..meaning
     "must avoid places, where plenty of beautiful (and amazing) ladies are around."  is your perception. This is your problem with kaam.
    How about if the same kinda "beautiful and amazing lady' comes around seeking help and advice for sikhi to you. How do you react?  you avoid?  
    to think that "avoiding places is the answer for controlling kaam, then you've got the wrong understanding and no control over your own kaam.  Someone who had control should freely be able to go to beach, pool, bowling, etc....because in these same places beautiful women will be present. how about the bus? transit? what you gonna do?  
    Read some of the other gurmukhs earlier posts carefully and you'll see that it's all about controlling you inner-self and fighting your inner kaam demons when out anywhere in the maya world

    I see...You should be ready for it once you can listen to shabad by stopping vichaar. You can get prepped for this by doing increasing amounts of antarghat simran(silent jap) or practicing rom rom technique. 
    I don't know if anyone has just got the dristee by doing the 'focus in front of eyes' technique, but I've only heard about it in the recent years. 
    The dristee (correct one) should come automatically as you get adept in stilling the mann and making it sit at an asan.  That's how it came for me but at the time, but I didn't know what it was. It as only until later, that I was able to confirm that I could see the brahm and hear naam at the same time.   I mentioned 'correct one' earlier in sentence because some seekers have attempted prematurely and end up seeing entities. This can occur if naam isn't present from what I understand.    Ideally, if you have been following a certain gurmukh's instructions and confirmed the nishanees experienced, then you should really follow their technique instructions or recommendations.  Otherwise, some of us can tell the techniques that we"ve heard mentioned by gurmukhs like Bhai Simranjeet ji, Bhai Dharamjeet ji and few others.

    Congratulations and well done, wishing  you both all the heavenly and divine blessings.
     
    That's a tricky question but it does depend on your attitude and approach in such matters. I sense that your notion would be quite sensible , therefore it's wise to take these matters at a steady pace and let hukam lead the way. 
     I'd say that it'a priority for both of you to understand the significance of anand karaj.   Anand karaj is about  marriage of the mind to the shabad(waheguru). The sacred ceremony asserts the unity and bond formed between your Two jyots (husband and wife) AND taking the pledge to pursue the journey in merging your Jyots with Waheguru Jyot.   The meanings of anand karaj become deeper over time and that's the beauty of gurbani, (our guru)
    Having this understanding should help attain a mindset and attitude that can support the build up and strengthening of eternal and divine bonds between the two of you. These may already be there, but the sensible attitude will help flourish them naturally,  i.e. the "Karaj" will grow stronger and the "anand" shall prosper further.    As i said in the post above, 'kaam' is about the indries and shouldn't really be in the equation.. It's about the hirdas trying to merge in each other's jyot that lead to acts of intimacy. This is the true jyog and bhog, not the kaam desires of senses. 
     
    I recommend practicing simran or quiet jap from the hirda area. This is not directly where physical heart is but it's, a little across to the center of chest area.  As a medic, you will be aware that the heart area has so much dynamic activity which is continuously occurring with hukam.  It's amazing with all the different chemical actions, contractions, electrical and magnetic charges that play. The heart's electromagnetic field is about 60 times greater than the brain(ECG to EEG), which is why it is imperative that you do jap in that area as it will have a greater chance or energizing your pineal gland area and the empty small cave above it (sehaj guffa).  You wanna practice jap on hirda and when it's occurring with pace and you feeling energy, you wanna direct it upwards.  You can feel the electromagnetic power from other's heart from a few feet away, especially if it's pumping unconditional energies of love and truth. (try it!)

    I'll reiterate my previous post above from last year again.
     
    I feel it's quite important and hopefully someone may understand the divine aspects of procreation and how the act of bhog can become an act of worship without any carnal pleasures.   I understand that references like panch baeil, panch parhu, panch dokh are mistakenly translated as the panch dhoots, but they are actually referring to the panch indries of "body" . Five thieves, Panch dhoot, Panch chor etc are mostly referencing the five passions in the "mind" . In maya, the five gyan indries or five senses are controlled by the Mind and we also let them control the mind. We have desires for taste, smell, touch, sight and to hear.   In terms of kaam, we let the gyan indries control the mind by letting the mind wanting to see kaami, to touch kaami, to hear kaami and to smell the scent of woman(kaami) . These are pure carnal desires and they are prevalent because Mind is not under control. Nirankar doesn't want you procreating if Mind's not under control does he?     ... Yet we are foolishly taught and told about whats taboo as well as erotica, which gives the  assumption that kaam is a necessary evil for creation of mankind.  We convince ourselves that arousal and intimacy can only occur if gyan indries are directed towards kaam, meaning they are controlling mind and the mind isntt being controlled by Ek.
    Gurbani tell you this

    We let our mind feed and be influenced by maya, Instead, we should let our soul/atma/spiritual self be the master of the mind . Not let maya drenched mind be the master of spiritual self.  
     How do yo do this?  ..... By doing simran to wash the mind of maya filth, then practicing to get single-pointed attention  on the Nirankar.  Eventually mind will be under subjugation and hopefully you are able to make it ik-mikh with the shabad. This stage will help the antar jyot to manifest and one can see their own jyot of soul/nirankar. This is when mind can recognize that it is jyot saroop (man tu jyot saroop hai) and that it had become a slave to maya and ego, but all along,... it's mool(root) was Nirankar.    Now, the amazing part is that when man and woman are in the act of bhog,   it becomes a very divine act of worship without a single element of kaam.   This is where kaam is very misunderstood and foolishly accepted as a necessity.   I can't really explain it any further because it can't be comprehended without experience.

    Enormous amounts of energy and very little sleep. Other's start worriyng thinking that you have insomnia. Quite often I have sat in simran for several hours from early amrit-vela at 2.00 /2.30 am until about 7.30 am when kids are getting up.
    Not explainable really. But you do realize the amount of spiritual energy that gets drained unknowingly by the ways in which most people live and spend their days, especially when they think they are doing things to relax.
    YES! this is when you can connect to the naam/shabad 24/7.   Hammering and ignoring the 5 dhuts gives you control over maya. All of our maya ties and problems start off in the thought processes of Duality. It's either this or that..  When you have no thoughts and just focus on the EK, the dhoots start to back off a little.
     
    Good on you boy for kicking kaam in the face!  I'm sure that your gonna reach even greater heights.  There's  a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about kaam and people think that it is necessary to procreate. It's not!

    Conceptualize everything in terms of "energy". Even mental energy that you use for thoughts.
    If you are using too much thought energy towards lust, then you need to started redirecting that same energy towards other better thoughts.
    BTW, it is not really correct to assume that only "high avastha person has conquered lust",,, because out ofall the 5 dhuts. Lust is the one that takes so many hidden form in your own energies. This 'lower down energy'(below navel) is the  ONLY one that can be transformed into a substantial amount of divine energy,...this is what shall help to go towards Higher avastha.   Higher avastha doesn't come first and then kaam vanishes, kaam has to be stamped on in order to get to higher avastha.  It's important to understand this, especially about conserving this energy.
    Kaam is a huge hindrance for any spiritual progress.  I disagree that you should distract yourself or avoid situations such as avoiding places where opposite sex may be or using cop-out excuses to avoid temptation. Because you are just SUPPRESSING the same energy, which usually ends up manifesting into frustration, anxiety, anger, disease or any other negative trait. Instead, when it occurs, like say a physical arising or itch down below, then you should DIVERT your THOUGHTS towards Akaal. You should try and pump navel, do saas saas and make/feel the energy rise upwards towards your hirda.  You should embrace this human instinct/behavior by NOT letting maya control your thoughts, but taking charge yourself and directing them towards physical. it's as if the universe just lumps a ton of energy on you with you making any effort. Pick up and use this load of energy wisely.

    the 10th door is sukham. From navel to trikuti is bhavsagar.   The imbalance of pavan from ida and pingla, cause this turbulence.  Naun darwajay (9 doors) are in this area. 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils, mouth, anus, urethra(pashaab wali jaga)..   MANN surti is connected to maya since it is connected to Pavan.  Pavan is guru of maya.     Gurmukhs advise that one has to disconnect the Mann from the PAVAN. Whilst the MANN is in pavan it will remain in thoughts all the while and be in tre-gunn maya. To disconnect the Mann from pavan is when you stop the thoughts, vichaar and furnay of the mind.  Can only be done by becoming thoughtless and ik-chit with internal shabad.   Goal of bhagtee is to become thoughtless and Ik-mann, ik-chit with shabad.

    Lucky got a reaction from GurjantGnostic in Golden Prakash   
    that's an important point. You CAN have darshan of waheguru in sargun saroop. But you have to remember that darshan of nirankar in the nijh ghar is where there is na roop, na rang, na rekh.   
    With regards to the 2 parties above, they are both correct in what they say. It's difficult to explain and it's all to do with experience but I have had a stage where I was getting the golden prakash some years ago. It was constant in nearly every session but it did not open any doors and it was NOT nirankar. However, I'm also aware that a golden prakash can manifest as a gateway for some abyasees, so the only way they will know if it is that, is if they focus on it. This is why I believe that Bhai Dharamjit says that Bha Sewa Singh told him to advise his relatives to focus on it. Bhai Dharamjit has not had the golden prakash because he mentions it was his relatives that were describing it.   The opening of darwaja happens in different ways for different people and in my experience it didn't involve any golden colors.  
    In general, and according to many advanced yoga texts, seeing golden color is a positive sign. I remember reading that in theravada it is the awakening of heart chakra to ajna chakra. This is also same as 3rd eye fully awakening and looking through the sukhmana nadee. There were different names given by yogananda and patanjali texts for this but none of them said it was the ONE himself. All explained that it was stage of going into higher consciousness towards chautha padh or into uradh avstha.
    yes, I agree, this is a little skeptical.  My interpretation of the whole shabad and the pauree that precedes is important imho. Let's be clear that Nirankar has no color, no form and no shape.. However, he can reveal himself in immaculate 'niranjan' form as gurbani mentions many times. When I first looked at the pangtee on it's own, I  thought it were describing Dharamraj  lol!
    I can give you an idea of my interpretation at the moment so you can get the gist and maybe delve into it further.
    in the pauri that is previous, Guru ji is talking as 2nd person to God and as I explained in another topic of the so-dar paurees difference, Guruji speaks as second perosn and sometimes as first person Nirankar himself, as if instruction from God. However, in the later part of the paurees he could also be speaking as a 2nd person to a 3rd party instead of directly to God. 3rd party being soul-brides/ suhellees

    Only then do I come to realize the Truth, when You Yourself instruct me.
    Firstly, Looking at the "sach pachana" and ignoring the english translation slightly for the moment..  first line is "Naḏar karahi ṯā sācẖ pacẖẖāṇā."  if you do nadar then I can pachaan (recognise) the form of the satch. To "pachaan' is to recognize, acknowledge and confirm. Like 'pachaan' someone you haven't seen since childhood.  In the next line he starts of with "Sachh pachaan" after ending previous line with 'sach pachaana'. Breaking down the translation slightly, .. Sācẖo pacẖẖāṇā ṯām ṯerā jām āp bujẖāvhe. .  sach pachana,(recognize sach) tam(then)  tera jam ap(so long as you, yourself) bujhavhe(give the understanding/confirm).. To "bujh" something is to work it out or guess it yourself. Bujhavhay= is when he gives you the answer/confirmation. 
    In a way, Guruji is asking God to reveal himself in recognizable fashion. Then in following lines he talks about Maya. and making people understand something that is "alakh" (invisible) and "apara" (infinite)

     But in the pangtees that follow, He's talking to a 3rd person and describing God.. He's addressing sister friends as if he is also a "suhelee" in the context of describing lover/husband good looks as per mayavee duniya.

    You shall not have to stand at Death's door, O sisters, if you listen to these teachings.

    Hans hansā bag bagā lahai man kī jālā.
    From a crane, you shall be transformed into a swan, and the filth of your mind shall be removed.
     
    It is not the description that guruji was asking for in aforementioned "bhujavay" since he confirmed the alak and apar . He instructs his sisters or "mahelio"(soul brides) to meditate on him and not fall for good looks/ beauty in creation and indulge in vices. LISTEN "sunhu" maheliho is the key here.   He's indirectly addressing their passions for mayavee beauty , as he calls us souls the "bagla" cranes with filth of vices and desires on our minds.  Remember that we are all the 'mahelio' souls/brides.
    In the lines that follow, I think that he is describing us (soul-brides) after we have transformed from cranes to swans in inner purity, as in last pangtee he describes how the bride will be intoxicated and flowing like ganges in this world.

    If you go further and look into vadhaans Mehal 3, you'll see that vadhaans mehala 1 was build up to 3rd patshahees composition which is directly about husband lord and soul bride.   The whole vadhaans baani has to be read in it's entirety to get the full picture.

    I've come across yoga texts where they verify that balancing of ida pingla is easier at periods before sunrise and sunset. At those times, the left and right seem to naturally switch over in short space of time. Left could be dominant for few minutes, then right could be dominant, and then left again..etc.  During this period it is much easier to get into a steady state of equilibrium and be in sehaj.  Of course, the way you live in daily life and jeevan jatch plays a big part in this because you can't come back from casino at 12 am and then try and get into sehaj a few hours later.

    Good question...
    It's about disassociating your consciousness(surti) from the illusion of maya. 
    We don't physically plug the ears, nose or the privates down below, but the eyes become more of a concern?   Yes, they do. 
    Why?... because we have got so accustomed to allowing our mind to sit at the eyes more than any other indries.  Now, remember that the bhagtee is all about "Sukham"  So we  can learn to have physical eyes open whilst keeping  sukham eyes disassociated from physical objects or akar.  The aim is to not let the mann sit at the physical eyes whether they are open on not.    A little tricky? I  know.   But  with practice, and as naam starts to become more manifest, you should start seeing the brahm prakash everywhere in the empty space around you. It will become a lot easier then.    
    The Gurmat Meditation guys and Bhai Tohana jee always suggest us to try and focus on that empty space with eyes open and then slowly close the eyes, and you should be looking at the same 'khalee khalaa' (empty space) when eyes are closed. This is helpful because it stops people moving their eyeball around when eyes are shut. To look at the void empty space, your eyes have to be still at first, and then when you start to see the prakash of satch, you can move them around and see it everywhere.  
    Hope that answers how it may be done with eyes open, however, I'm sure many will suggest that if you find it easier to halt your mann with closed eyes, then continue closing them.  But yes, it is good practice to attempt both and like @GurjantGnostic stated above.  It's how we can take it into the world on a day to day basis.
    Personally, and most of the time, I find it easier with eyes closed and then If I've been in a session for a while and the room is dim, I can usually carry on with as much focus with the eyes open.

    Everything is in duality, both on the inner level and outwardly also.  From moment creation was created, so was duality. A few key things to remember is that IDA is on the left side and called moon energy, whereas PINGALA is on the right and called sun energy. Because of the imbalance of these, we all suffer in life. Emotions, suppressing emotions, suppressing guilt, anger etc..all lead to disease and illness. Primary root cause is always the degree of imbalance from left to right nostril.  Sukhmana is the channel in the middle and is only activated and awakened when ida and pingala are balanced. The geographical rivers gunga,jumna and sarswati represent these 3 channels also.   
    These energy channels are subtle and if physical body is cut open. then nerve fibers, blood vessels, veins etc can be seen but NOT these channels. The energy they carry is "PRANA" which is also subtle and not to be confused with Air or Pavan.  However, the process of breathing does activate and stimulate the flow of this subtle life force called PRAAN or PRANA.  So there is a correlation between breath and prana but it's not the same thing. NOTE that these Nadee channels are also called meridians and chi. Acupuncture, IMS etc. and most ayuverdic approaches work on these 'invisible' channels. 
    I remember a little about thermocouple from physics, and yes I agree.  When a closed circuit is formed by closing junctions then the electrical force within is generated. In similar fashion, when 9 doors of body are closed, then spiritual force from praan is generated that would open the 10th gate.  
    When you look around at even a battery, we have negative and positive charges that don't do anything until a closed circuit connection is made on both ends.

    the 10th door is sukham.

Whilst the MANN is in pavan it will remain in thoughts all the while and be in tre-gunn maya. To disconnect the Mann from pavan is when you stop the thoughts, vichaar and furnay of the mind.  Can only be done by becoming thoughtless and ik-chit with internal shabad.   Goal of bhagtee is to become thoughtless and Ik-mann, ik-chit with shabad.

    Yes, it's called "bioperine" and available to purchase in tablet and capsule form also. Piperine or Bioperine works by stimulating liver enzymes which in turn will help metabolize haldee  more efficiently. Personally, I do recommend that you take it with most fat soluble vitamins and supplements. Common fat soluble vitamins are A,D,E and K.  Nowadays, some multivitamin and mineral brands include the bioperine (3-5g) as an active ingredient.
