Satnaam
There is a shabad by sant kabir ji where they say they were on the qay to mecca and god spoke to them (telepathically via thoughts) asking, "who told you i was there?"
Gurpreet ji writes about a similar thing:
Also in gurbani it says the real hari mandir is this body and god dwells inside.
And also the real place of pilgrimage is inside this body/mind temple at the heart, where we take the real sacred bath in amrit focused on satnaam.
Mun mandir tun ves kalandar ghat hee teerath naavaa, ek shabad (satnaam) mere praan basat ha bahur janam naa aavaa.
Personally, we found going to harmandir sahib very peaceful, we met dassan dass ji there in 2005 and asked, "why is it so peaceful here even though there is no sant here now?". They replied that a lof of sants even before sikh gurus and sikh gurus and sants have done bhagti on this land and it has become blessed..saa dhsrti bhaee hareeavalee jithay meta satguru bayta jaai.
Also baba ji maharaj said that golden temple was created as an external representation of what is spiritual inside us. Body/mind temple, inside which is heart throne upon whuch god the guru sits and whom we bow to, uttering gurbani and satnaam. Anhad kirtan inside, amrit lakes inside. And the four major (bajjar kapaat...darsan pyasee dinas raat chitvo andin neet, kol kapat gut maylio nanak har sang meet..i thirst for your visiob day and night, please open my doors so i may meet my friend god) doors around the head..third eye, above ears and back of heaf that open. Baba ji said the water lake absorbs peace of the kirtan, bathing in it people feel coolness and peace, eating langar the body balances, people go on pilgrimage let go of worldy nonsense for those days, feel some peace, cool down.
But its just for beginners really, what we see on the outside is really telling us to now find the same thing onnthe inside. When we go with that understsnding external visits to golden temple can be inspiring and uplifting. But when we go on pilgrimage thinking god is in that special place, god is on the outisde, or we go and get caught in rituals..paying for prayers and wants and ritual readings and all the meaningless cermonies thinking they are holy, then we get fooled by the priest class to line their pockets with money. By keeping us in the belief god is outisde us in these pilgrimage places, they are not teaching thebsangat the full truth of going inside and finding sant guru for naam.
And that is why guru jis in gurbani even though criticising pilgrimage places then went and made sikh pilgrimage places to be pure and inspiring. Golden temple was made by the third, fpurth, fifth and sixth guru sahibs ji. But by the time of the ninth guru ji the corrupt priests had taken control and didnt let the ninth guru sahib in until the sangat protested. And the tenth guru sahib never even bothered going there.
FROM GURPREET JI:
On Sunday (1 jun 14) we had a plan to go Shri Harmandar Sahib. Late night Saturday we saw that we are Shri Harmandar Sahib and sitting inside Harmander Sahib in the form of nothing too. Early morning we got a message that we don't need to go Shri Harmandar Sahib outside and before getting up 'Satgur ke bhanay chalat rahe' braham gyan appeared from inside us. We wanted to go to Shri Harminder Sahib outside and we had to go. When we were at front of main door gubani kirtan started to happen with us Sat sat sat. We entered in to Shri Harmandar Sahib our right hand was on our hirda. When we were doing ishnaan in the Sarovar we closed our eyes and saw Golden temple in place of our hirda, while doing matha takna in Golden temple our both hands were on our hirda and Ik Oankaar Sat simran changed into Sat Paar Braham Sarnaee. After this we saw 7 Golden temples inside our body in place of Sat Sarovars. We saw white dots raining in Shri Harmandar Sahib too.
