Some words from Sukhmani Sahib...

SUKHMANI SAHIB IS REALLY AN OCEAN OF ETERNAL TRUTH:

As it is said: Prabh Ka simran, sadh kee sangat. This is just a simple line of 6 words; but have we ever seen the depth in it?
Guru Sahiban, wants to tell us that the method of Simran of Nam or Prabhu Wahiguru is got only, if we keep the company of a Sadh.

So the question arises, what is a Sadh? This word sadh is repeated several times in the bani of our Gurus. Is he somebody wearing colored robes? Is he a sanyasi, a recluse or a yogi? Definetely not. Though this is what most commonly is believed to be. But the fact is totally different, totally the opposite .

Let ´s have a correct view of it. Let us start giving the exact value and meanings of some common terms, in order to understand the message our Gurus want to give us through their teachings.

Words like sikh, khalsa, sadh...Satguru. All these words denote degrees or levels of consciousness, of purity.
Just like we have students, monitors, teachers, graduates, professors, head masters....

So also in the science of spirituality, there are also degrees.

The first one is the one of a Sikh: Sikh means, that person, that jeev, that soul, irrespective of gender, who with bravery , some discipline, and purity, has reached the first spiritual realm, known as astral region or Sahansdal Kamal or the thousand pettaled region

The second degree is that of a khalsa: Now once again, khalsa is not really what we usually tend to believe, that is a very light interpretation to this word. Khalsa, rather it really is that jeev, who has reached the region of Braham, or known as causal region. Only then, that soul is titled to be called a khalsa.

Then is the stage or degree of a Sadh.This jeev is called a Sadh, because through sadhna of Nam Simran, has crossed the region of Braham, and thus reached Parbraham. This stage can only be reached by those wadbhagee, who have the grace from Wahiguru, by meeting a real Sadh or Satguru and getting from them the bhed or technique of Gurprasad or Nam or Shabad.

So this is the sadh which is referred in the bani of our Gurus, not the one wearing colored robes or splashing ashes on the body, nor the one with rosarys or malas...etc.
These are all fake.
The company of these spiritual beings or sadhs, works much more than a  philosopher´s stone. The philosopher´s stone converts into gold, anything with which it comes into contact, but never makes it like itself.
But when one comes into contact with a true Satguru, a true Gurmukh, a real Sadh, one´s happy days have come in our lives, because one day we become same in purity and refulgence as them. That is posible, only through His grace or Daya Meher. Not by one´s own tiny and useless efforts.

This is a sign of mercy, of Daya Meher from the almighty and infinite Wahiguru Akal Purukh, because now we are sure to become one with Him. The soul (a drop) merges first in the wave(Sadh or Gurmukh), and ultimately the drop and the wave merge into the sea( Wahiguru Akal Purukh).

That is why it is also said: awar kaaj tere kitte na kam, mil sadh Sangat bhaj kewal Nam. Which means, nothing else will be of any avail or useful to you, seek refuge and company of a Sadh, of a Gurmukh of your time, get the Gurprasad of Nam from Him, and do it´s kamaee.

At other place in the bani it is said: Gur bachnee, Har Nam ucharay. Means, only when you get that Word, that Gurmantra, that Gurprasad from a Gurmukh or a Sadh, do you learn to do Nam Simran in the correct manner, and only that is considered Nam Simran.
Not that we may say, I do simran of Wahiguru, Hari Om, Satnam, Rama, Vishnu or Shiva or whatever it may be.... but that is all manmukhta.

We have to bear in mind, our Gurus do not leave any place for doubts or misunderstandings. It is a different thing, that we, instead to look towards the light(wisdom of our Gurus), we look at the darkness of our ignorance.

They have very well stated terms like: sikh, khalsa Sadh, Gurmukh, Sant , Gurprasad....but we have made a mess up with them. As said many times before, we have been led astray by some so called spiritually blind leaders(fake), and have been directed to the pitch of utter darkness, in spite of having the bani of our Gurus in a very simple and clear language.

 They(Gurmukhs) say 1+1+1+1=3. That means sikh or soul + Gurmukh + Gurprasad of Nam, which leads us to Nam Simran is = equal to Satpurukh or Satnam.

But we murakhs now say : 1+1+1+1=3, which means, soul + pilgrimages + rituals(outer forms of worship)= God. Which is totally wrong, according to the teachings of our Gurus in the Bani.

It is a real pity, that even by having such a pure, paviter and highest teachings regarding devotion to the Lord, in the Bani, that we do not pay attention to them, but have got ourselves chained in rituals, pilgrimages, fasting, idol worship...thus lost the goal of Spiritual realization within ourselves, of the Self(Soul) with the Supreme Being(Parmatma).
