SIMRAN – PART 12
Imbue yourself with the love of God in the company of spiritually high souls.
On the spiritual path, there are four stages of consciousness: –
…………………………………………………………………………
- The Fourth Level
This is known as the
- Spiritual Realm
- Turiya level (fourth stage)
- The realm of God
- The Highest Level
- The True Home
- The Natural Home
- The Country of Love
- The Eternal Country
- The City of No-sorrow
- The Realm of Truth
- and many other names.
At this level,
- His Name is Radiant
- His Name is heard as a melody
- His Name is a Life current
- His Name is the Ultimate Elixir
- His Name is imbued with Love
- His Name is Intoxicating
- His Name
- The Unstruck melody is heard
- The Unstruck Sound shows Him to be everywhere.
The blessed souls stay at this level in the purity radiating presence of God Himself and quaff from His cup of Love and remain intoxicated on his elixir.
- By quaffing His Name, the mind becomes intoxicated and remains absorbed in the Lord’s Love. Remaining absorbed in His Love, day and night become fruitful and the Unstruck Heavenly Music is heard. 360
At this level, the True Guru
- Holds dear the Love imbued souls
- Dotes on them
- Plays with them
- Takes care of them
- Daily provides them
- Destroy their sins
- Protects them from sorrow and grief
- Protects them death’s couriers
- Blesses them with salvation
- Gives them the Cup of Love
- Attracts them with His Love strings
- Blesses them with meditation
- Blesses them with a life of Simran.
- He plays with me and fondles me and ever and ever blesses me. He takes care of me as parents take care of their child. 1213
- The Lord is my Mother, The Lord is my Mother, The Lord is my Cherisher. The Lord takes care of me for I am His child. He naturally feeds me and is never lazy. He does not remind me of my demerits and holds me close to His Bosom. He blesses me with whatever I ask, He is my peace giving Father. He has blessed me with the capital of Divine Knowledge and made me worthy of this merchandise. He has made me His partner and I have obtained all comforts. The Lord My Father who holds everyone to His Bosom is always with me. 1101 – 2
This spiritual realm is
- Pure, totally pure
- Devoid of the shadow of materialism
- Totally devoid of Ego
Here,
- Eternal blessings
- Eternal happiness
- Eternal joy
- Compassion
- Love
- The Taste of Elixir
- Exuberance
- The Name
are ever present.
In reality, our limited minds cannot grasp this subtle spiritual level and are incapable of describing it because this Divine Essence can only be experienced, felt and enjoyed within the soul through the grace of the Guru. Only a rare soul realises this level –
- By the Guru’s Grace some rare soul realises that the Lord is contained within the Word 1332
- Those imbued with the Lord’s Name are forever in peace. By the Guru’s Grace only a rare soul realises this. 841
By habitual consumption, drinking liquor becomes second nature to the alcoholic. He now does now just think of alcohol instead his whole self i.e his body, mind and consciousness craves for it and his each thought deed and action is coloured by it.
Similarly as the seeker wholeheartedly repeats the “Gurmantar”, the Gurmantar slowly seeps, settles and ultimately becomes deeply embedded within his mind heart and consciousness. The seeker now becomes an image of Simran. This stage is expressed in Gurbani as follows:
- Kabir, by repeating Your Name I have become like You and my self has not remained. As the difference between me and others have been removed, Wherever I look I only see You. 1375
