Dah dis dhaavat aavai thaa-ay.
Taa ka-o bighan na laagai ko-ay.
Jaa kai ridai basai har so-ay.
Kal taatee thaandhaa har naa-o.
Simar simar sada sukh paa-o.
Bha-o binsai puran ho-ay aas.
Bhagat bhaa-ay aatam pargaas.
Tit ghar jaa-ay basai abhinaasee.
Kaho nanak kaatee jam faasee. 3.
Please sit down for a few moments and notice how fast the mind runs. It moves from one thought to another within a fraction of a second. Your mind is constantly talking. It is continuously thinking. It is engaged in a never ending stream of thoughts. Probably the only time your mind rests is when you are in deep sleep. But, when you are awake then you are continuously talking to your own self. This is a divine truth that your mind almost never goes into peace, your mind never goes into rest whilst awake.
Just as you need to rest your body after a long day's work, you also need to bring your mind to rest after a continuous days thinking. There is no worldly power that can bring your mind to complete rest. But, there is one divine power that can bring your mind to rest and that is the Infinite Divine Power that is present in Naam Simran.
GurBani says, "Har simran meh aap nirankaraa." This is a divine promise that the Guru makes to us, that when we focus on Naam Simran then the Infinite Divine Power of Dhan-Dhan Paar Braham Pita Parmeshwar will take over our mind and will bring it to eternal peace. When we concentrate on Naam Simran then due to the Infinite Divine Power of Naam, then all of the talking of the mind and the thoughts that our mind is otherwise busy in, are replaced by Naam. In this way we are thinking and talking only Naam in our mind.
Elimination of all other absurd thinking and thoughts is then replaced by Naam. Even when you are not focused on Naam, your mind wil at least start to focus on Sat Karams. Your thoughts become purified and become focused only on Sat Ki Karni. In the same way, when we focus on Naam Simran every day in the morning and evening, then we start to enjoy it more and more. Our mind starts experiencing more and more stability and peace and our thoughts become purified. Naam Simran along with listening to GurBani starts to bring GurBani inside us. This means that we start to understand GurBani from within and we become motivated to do what we now truly understand. Our thirst for meeting God becomes deeper and we become motivated to focus more and more on Naam Simran.
Whilst engaged in this process and collecting the Sat Karams, we make our self eligible for the GurParsaad of Naam, Naam Simran, Naam Ki Kamai, Puran Bandgi and Seva. Our destiny then takes us to a source of this GurParsaad, which will be a Puran Sant Puran Braham Gyani and we become blessed with the GurParsaad.
Then as we continue to focus on Naam Simran under the Chattar of a Puran Sant our Bandgi goes onto the fast track and we are blessed with the Karam Khand and we go into Samadhi and Sunn Samadhi and our due to our Bandgi we start to collect Naam Dhann in the Dargah of Akal Purakh Ji.
Complete surrender at the Sat Charans of a Puran Sant does wonders for our spiritual life and we keep on going higher and higher every day. We have wonderful spiritual experiences, such as Guru Darshans, seeing Parkash, seeing Jyots, out of body experiences, listening to Kirtan, listening to Panch Shabad Anhad Naad music, Darshans of Braham Gyani Maha Purakhs, and so on. Different people have different kinds of spiritual experiences. This takes us to Ajapa Jaap Naam Simran and Rom-Rom Naam Simran. All of our Bajjar Kapaats open. All of our Sat Sarovars become enlightened and activated. Our Dassam Duaar in particular is opened and our body is filled with Amrit. We physically hear Naam going on in our body and Amrit flowing all over our body. With these divine things happening to us, we become blessed with the divine wisdom as well and we start to take a glimpse of the depth of GurBani. We start to have all those experiences that are written in GurBani. GurBani comes true for us and we become what GurBani wants us to become.
The current Age we are living in is called the Kal Yug. This means the age of darkness. The darkness which is influenced by the Rajo and Tamo aspects of Maya and desires. Kal Yug is being ruled by the Rajo and Tamo aspects of Maya. Everyone is burning in this fire of Kal Yug which is Panj Doots and the fire of desires. The GurParsaad of Naam Amrit extinguishes this fire of Kal Yug for us and our mind and Hirda is saved from burning in this fire of Kal Yug. By defeating Maya and going beyond Maya, we become fearless. In this way, we become detached internally from all of the worldly relationships, worldly possessions, properties and wealth that we have collected. We are blessed with the GurParsaad of the divine wisdom which takes us out of attachments and leads us beyond Maya to become one with the Almighty.
