ੴ ਸਤਿਨਾਮ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ॥
॥ ਜਪੁ॥
ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ। ॥ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ॥
The sound produced when two objects collide is called the aahat sound in Gurbaanee. The sound created by the Divine as He produces vibrations is called anaahat sound in Gurbaanee. There was a letter with a question: Since we use God’s given sound and His sound is anaahat sound, so is our sound aahat, which is produced by striking of two objects or is it anaahat sound?
When we speak, that sound is God’s. That sound comes upward with the breath and here in the neck are vocal cords; the sound strikes the vocal cords on both sides of the neck. Those vibrations which come from within strike the vocal cords on both sides and produce sound so that’s no longer God’s voice. Only God’s voice is anaahat sound. There are only two forms of anaahat sound - one is the Anhad Shabad (Celestial Music) and the Oang. All other sounds are aahat sounds.
Please focus at the neck. Let us recite the word Guruuuuu. We will feel that as we speak, the breath also gets spent. When we recite Guruuuuu, feel those vocal cords on both sides of the next; that the vibrations coming from within hitting the vocal cords to produce aahat sound, which is no longer God’s sound.
Guruuuuu……….Guruuuuu……..Guruuuuu……..Guruuuuu
Please feel that as our breath gets spent while reciting Guruuuu, at the bottom of our neck, above the sunken place, something shuts.
Let us awaken our throat.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਰੰਗੁ ॥
har iksai naal mai dostee har iksai naal mai rang.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਜਣੋ ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਸੰਗੁ ॥
har iko mayraa sajno har iksai naal mai sang.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਗੋਸਟੇ ਮੁਹੁ ਮੈਲਾ ਕਰੈ ਨ ਭੰਗੁ ॥
har iksai naal mai gostay muhu mailaa karai na bhang.
har iksai naal mai gostay
He is the only one I converse with, and you know how He is?
muhu mailaa karai na bhang.
My Beloved is such that He never frowns and He never turns His face away from me.
The only one I sit with, I talk with, I converse with, and He never frowns at me or turns His face away. Feel the intimacy, feel the relationship with the Divine in these words. These words tell that this person has nothing to do with anyone other than the Divine. We only talk to someone where we have some purpose or interest. There is no interest, no motive other than the Divine.
Please focus and feel the vibrations; feel the navel point and feel the throat.
ਹਰਿ ਇਕਸੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੈ ਗੋਸਟੇ ਮੁਹੁ ਮੈਲਾ ਕਰੈ ਨ ਭੰਗੁ ॥
har iksai naal mai gostay muhu mailaa karai na bhang. (singing loudly)
muhu mailaa karai - to speak ill. He never does that. He is so pure.
ਜਾਣੈ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜੀਅ ਕੀ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਮੋੜੈ ਰੰਗੁ ॥
jaanai birthaa jee-a kee kaday na morhai rang.
He is the only one who knows my innermost state and He never takes back His gift of ishq. How beautiful! Whomsoever He transforms to ishq, He never takes that blessing away. That’s not like Him.
Nobody else except our Beloved can recognize where I am, what I am really within. Because in the world, we never show our true face to anyone. We wear masks - someone wears the mask of a mother, someone wears the mask of a sister, daughter, and so on. This story is beyond those masks. We have been seeing the situation of the baby when he comes into the world. The same is happening to us; God remains with us inside and out, but we have gone too far from our home. We have no idea who dwells in this house.
Dhaarnaa: (at 28:23)
ਨੀ ਬਾਗ ਮਾਏ ਸੱਜਣਾ ਦਾ….. ਜੀਹਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੁਣੀ, ਮੈਂ, ਤੇ ਉਹ ਆਪ
nee baag maa-ay sajanaa daa….. jeeHday vich dunee, maiN, tay oh aap
Oh, my mother, this world is a beautiful garden of my Beloved in which there is He, His creation, and me.
ਨੀ ਰਾਹਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਖੜੇ ਰੁੱਖੜੇ……ਦੋਹਾਂ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਕਰਦੇ ਛਾਵਾਂ
nee raahaaN utay kharhay rukh-rhay…..dohaaN hathaaN naal karday chhaavaaN
His creation teaches so much but usually I am not there to learn from them. I am somewhere else. Oh, my mother, see these trees standing by the roadside. They are putting both their hands on the head of the travelers. They protect them from fierce heat and rain. Have you ever noticed?
The nature is teaching us so many things at every step. Last time we read:
ਨੀ ਭੱਜੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਰਾਹੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ….ਰੁੱਖ ਵੇਲਾਂ ਪਏ ਸਮਝਾਉਣ
nee bhajay jaaNday raahee-aaN noo……rukh vaylaaN pa-ay samjhaa-oun
From April 25, 2023: These trees and vines - they are standing so still, and they are whispering to these people who are running so fast, slow down, stop for a second, stop.
ਵੇ ਰੋਕੀਂ ਜਰਾ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ….ਤੇ ਵੱਲ ਮੁਹੱਬਤਾਂ ਦੇ ਮੋੜ ਮੁਹਾਰ
vay rokeeN jaraa pairaaN noo……tay val muhabat day morh muhaar
From April 25, 2023: These trees and vines are whispering to the people who are running so fast - stop, stop for a moment, be still. Turn around, turn around towards the direction of ishq; you are lost.
Dhaarnaa (end)
Please come at the navel point. It is a very important point because this is the point on this journey from where the transformation starts, as our consciousness starts rising upwards. When we say charhdee kalaa - kalaa means power. The Divine takes us upward from the navel point. God’s power rises upward and He takes us along - that means charhdee kalaa.
ਨਾਭਿ ਕਮਲ ਮਹਿ ਬੇਦੀ ਰਚਿ ਲੇ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਗਿਆਨ ਉਚਾਰਾ ॥
naabh kamal meh baydee rach lay barahm gi-aan uchaaraa.
Please feel the presence of the Divine. Any sign of life anywhere is because of Him; any movement is a sign of life. When the eye blinks that is a proof of the Divine presence - did He do it or us? When we shed a tear, it is Him who wipes it out. With His power, our arm, our hand is lifted and He wipes our tears. We do not recognize Him; He does not want us to recognize Him because he does not want any credit.
ਰਾਮ ਰਾਇ ਸਿਉ ਭਾਵਰਿ ਲੈਹਉ ਆਤਮ ਤਿਹ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੀ ॥
raam raa-ay si-o bhaavar laiha-o aatam tih rang raatee.
Our soul is at this point. The Divine weds it, takes it upwards and colors it with his ishq.
ਰਾਮ ਰਾਇ ਸੋ ਦੂਲਹੁ ਪਾਇਓ ਅਸ ਬਡਭਾਗ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥
raam raa-ay so doolahu paa-i-o as badbhaag hamaaraa.
I am so blessed that my groom is my beloved Divine. He is going to marry me and make me ishq!
There is a letter from a daughter who gave it to me yesterday. She is here from California:
Baba Ji, during yesterday’s Khajana Darshan (July 26), aap jee asked to fully focus on the navel point. With Maharaj Ji’s grace, after fully focusing, I felt tingling and movement around the navel point. Staying with the movement and the Waheguru shabad, my body became numb. I was not able to move but I felt very light and in place.
What happens at that time? The Divine pulls the consciousness out of the body so it is easier for us to feel His presence. He makes the body like a stone so we don’t move around and it is easier to feel the Divine.
Tears started to roll down my cheeks. All I wanted to do was stay in that moment and not even sing, but stay with the feeling. When it was time for Ardaas, standing up and opening my eyes; outside felt unreal. I felt it was an illusion and nothing was true outside. Even after samaaptee, I did not want to speak; tingling remained in the body for a long time. It was so peaceful that nothing mattered there. I am deeply grateful for Maharaj Ji’s blessings, for helping me become peaceful.
Ji, this is the first experience of the Divine presence, our consciousness going into another world. It is a very precious experience and shakes us up but our mind is no less - it shows us so many colorful dreams on the outside and makes us forget the peaceful world that we experienced.
Now, it is very important betay that please do not lose this blessing. Once He blesses us, He does not take it back. All we have to do is focus and remember that experience. New sangat who experience the Divine for the first time, please become very alert and keep increasing His intensity, strength within you everyday. If we are careless then whatever He blessed us with, is lost. This is a glimpse from a distance; now let’s keep coming closer to Him every day.
Please feel Him touching us from the outside. All that is needed is that our entire insides are eager to feel Him, to meet Him. He is so generous; He keeps waiting for the moment that we look towards Him so He can reveal Himself.
Let the insides flow please.
Dhaarnaa: (at 49:29)
ਘਰ ਸੱਜਣਾ ਨੇ ਆਉਣਾ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਏ….ਮੈਂ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਸਵਾਰਦੀ ਫਿਰਾਂ
ghar sajanaa nay aa-ounaa mayree maa-ay…..maiN ghar noo savaardee firaaN
Oh, my mother, my Beloved is coming to dwell with me. I am decorating my house.
ਉਹਦੀ ਛਿੰਦੀ ਜਿਹੀ ਯਾਦ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਏ…ਮੈਂ ਯਾਦ ਨੂੰ ਸਮੇਟਦੀ ਫਿਰਾਂ
oHdee chhindee jihee yaad mayree maa-ay….maiN yaad noo samayt-dee firaaN
I cherish remembering Him. The moment I remember Him, He comes running. I just have to remember Him. I keep myself wrapped in His memory all the time. This is how I remain wrapped with Him all the time.
Dhaarnaa (end)
God is operating in the form of Anhad Shabad and Divine light in the entire universe and this becomes the womb for our rebirth.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਬਾਜੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਅਨਾਹਦੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਮਨੂਆ ਗਾਵੈ ॥
gurmat baajai sabad anaahad gurmat manoo-aa gaavai.
gurmat manoo-aa gaavai - Why do I keep asking you that we have to sing a certain way? Maharaj Ji says I want you to sing the way I am asking you too. And what is that understanding? He says, the Divine is operating as certain vibrations for this verse; you also become those vibrations. That is why I keep asking you to sing a certain way because then our vibrations are different from His vibrations when the whole story was to synchronize with His vibrations, and gradually he is going to start speaking.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਬਾਜੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਅਨਾਹਦੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਮਨੂਆ ਗਾਵੈ ॥
gurmat baajai sabad anaahad gurmat manoo-aa gaavai.
Maharaj Ji says this is not the Divine singing, this is not anaahat sound. This is your mind singing; this is aahat sound.
ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਗੁਰ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਧਨੁ ਧੰਨੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਵੈ ॥
vadbhaagee gur darsan paa-i-aa Dhan Dhan guroo liv laavai.
Kindly remain towards the Celestial Music. He says to hear the Celestial Music is to behold the Divine, feel the Divine; get absorbed in hearing the Celestial Music; to hear the Celestial Music is to be so blessed that you have felt the Divine.
Dhan Dhan guroo liv laavai - He says become absorbed in hearing the Celestial Music.
Before going to bed, we should take bath if possible; you will feel very good. You might feel too tired to take a bath but try it, you will love it! If not bath, then we should wash our feet and face, then lie down, counting our blessings, looking back at the day - was I able to do anything for anybody today? Did I hurt anybody today? We should beg the Divine as well as that person for forgiveness, and then become absorbed in hearing the Celestial Music.
Dhaarnaa: (at 1:05:17)
ਅੱਧੀ ਰਾਤੀ ਖਾਬਾਂ ਵਿਚ… ਆਣ ਕੇ ਜਗਾਵੇ ਕਿਹੜਾ…. ਸਮਝ ਨਾ ਆਵੇ…. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੌਣ ਨੀ
aDhee raatee khaabaaN vich…. aankay jagaavay kih-rhaa….. samajh naa aavay mainoo koun nee
ਪਹਿਲੀ ਰਾਤੀ ਲੱਗਿਆ ਸੀ…..ਬੋਲਦੇ ਨੇ ਬਿੰਡੇ ਜਿਵੇਂ……ਰੁੱਤ ਹੋਵੇ….. ਭਾਦਰੋਂ ਤੇ ਸਉਣ ਨੀ
pahilee raatee lagi-aa see…..bolday nay binday jivayN……rut hovay…..bhaadroN tay soun nee
First time when I heard that, it felt like the sounds after it rains in the rainy months of soun and bhaadoN.
