SinghMunda Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 This may come across to most people as fairly obvious to most people, but it's got to be more than just coincidence that light always is better than dark/darkness. An obvious example is that a lot of people are afraid of the dark, and most, if not all people prefer it to be sunny outside rather than dark. We might consider light in this sense to be "good", and dark to be "bad". So surely this represents something, a God-given insight. What I mean is that since we do not like this darkness, it could be part of a wider picture, that the "good" which is light is like Saachkhand, could be related to Saachkhand, which I believe is supposed to have great light, and also people who have near-death experiences of Heaven have described it to be awesomly bright. On the contrary, we hate darkness, which could be compared to a typical picture of hell. Am I making any sense here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tSingh Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 What about bhorae? Doing dhyaan and simran, sitting in a pitch black chamber has always sounded like bliss to me. Once my wife found me in the airing cupboard, and things have never quite been the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hari Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 When you are in deep sleep (sukhupati [skt: sushupati]) you are in a deep comfortable darkness.Deep sleep happens a few times during sleep.We all know instinctively that deep sleep is a very nice state to be in.Deep sleep is a little similar to Sunn Samadhi mentioned in Gurbani.Only a little similar mind you. Also a baby spends 9 months in total darkness.To me darkness = rest and self reflection.The light the people experience during NDE's is Anbhav Prakaas (non-material/non-world light, Jaap Sahib).It is not the same as material light, which hurts our eyes.It casts no shadow aswell and is most attractive.It doesn't emanate from any particular discernable source too.It is all-sorrounding, and is like a loving mother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Mahakal can stand for Great Death, Great Time or the Great Dark One. Black is the colour in which all other colours dissappear. Jai Kali Ma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
