Waheguru Gurmantar Hai

[Sat1176]

I must have watched this video ages ago but this time the depth and knowledge in his words contained so much spiritual gyan that I didn't appreciate or recognise it before.

It rekindled something!

God Bless SikhAwareness.com that gives us the portal to come together, share and inspire each other to all to walk on the path!

May Wageguru bless us all with the opportunity to return home to his lotus feet and realise and experience our true selves.

Key knowledge and instructions to take away from the video:

 

Surti = Focused awareness

Jap is done verbally (physically/astool).

Simran – is done with the consciousness, focused awareness, surti, mind.

 

Jap can become simran if done with focused awareness.

Simran cannot be done without attention. Eg breathing can done without attention but simran cannot. Simran has do be done with surti and chaitna.

Focusing on swass is not necessary for simran, however to begin with it is best to take breaths consciously with control. This will prevent the surti from becoming lazy.

 

Swass-Giras where one who does not let Time/Kaal take his consciousness away but is always aware. Learn to be in that state of akal-purkh. Akal-purkh is one who is not influenced by time.

Simran will only go up to a point. Surti only goes up to a point. Even the awareness/surti dies. Atma does not die.

Surti should not remain. It should be used to cross the 9 rivers and then let go. Don’t expect it too remain.

 

Simran instructions:

Take the aid of swass, with intense awareness/dhiyaan in the dhun of the Gurmantar.

Two ways of doing simran:

1) Elongated Waheeeee (with inhale) Guuruuuuuuuuu (with exhale)

2) Multiple Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru's on inhale and multiple japs on exhale. If using this technique try and increase the number over japs of time on inhale and exhale.

 

In the swass put the shabad and the shabad into the swass, between these two put the Surti.

In the swass swass put the shabad, in the shabad shabad the swass, swass and shabad become one and Surti is there.

Merge Surti with shabad and swas.

Slowly slowly only the Surti remains and everything else goes.

Then Surti will merge into the Sunn Samadhi because that is where the father/lord/master/husband Nirankar is without any qualities.

 

Take slow long gentle breaths.

Learn to rest in that empty still state. Stop the simran for a while if even if the Surti rests for a few seconds or minute. Come home to that still state.

Waheguru and the Surti live in the same place. Unfortunately Surti lives engrossed in the world and does not realise this fact because Surti is always involved in work and thoughts.

First Surti should come to the breath, then bring Surti to the shabad, then slowly when Surti awakens or rests it will see that Waheguru is sitting beside it and was all along....

 

Exactly the same thing was said in this video but in another way:

 

Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

Waheguru Ji, what is the reference to " 9 rivers" by Mahatma ji?  Anywhere I can read more on this? I'm thinking it's a reference to the 9 gates of the body but not sure.  Thanks for sharing.

Agree with your line of thinking in that he is referring to the nine gates of the body.
