2. Sphere ofsensation.
For us the sphere of duty is the earth. But when one gets insight, then one
comprehends the harmony and vastness ofthe universe. One gets the sensation
of the presence of the Lord in the body and outside in nature. The mind is
elevated and one is in ecstasy. This is a sacred ecstatic pleasure and is much
higher than the pleasure of the five senses of the body.
So, 0 child, when one is living in the sphere of duty and deeds, then it is
essential that the person should know what is relihrion. It is necessary that the
person should have true knowledge of relihrion. Then he realizes what is
relihrious and what is non-relihrious. Then he understands that only good deeds
are not sufficient to get eternal happiness. There is something higher than
deeds that saints like Kanu, Maheshwar, Brahma, Dhruv, Sidharth, Budha,
Nath, gods and goddesses practised and attained salvation.
He will realize: I have to go beyondjust 'good deeds' and go for 'devotional
love' for the Lord Le. 'recitation of the Lord's name with love'. Then he
recites 0 Lord, 0 Lord with love and feels the sensation of the presence of
the Lord in the body and outside in nature and gets elevation of mind and
ecstasy.
Then he realizes that recitation of 0 Lord, 0 Lord is the prime worship.
So, 0 child, whoever has got this sensation of the presence of the Lord in the
body, he is in the sphere of sensation.
3. Sphere of endeavour.
With the recitation ofName one feels the sensation of the presence ofthe
Lord in the body and outside in nature. The person drinks the Lord's nectar.
The person is in ecstasy and rapture. Here, one comes to realize the outer
mind, the intellectual mind, the intuitive mind, the sub-conscious mind and the
sublime mind. When the intuitive mind gets a touch of the Lord, then it gets
sublime consciousness.
The Guru has said that the intuitive mind is transformed and becomes
sublime mind. It is this sublime mind that is in saints and the Lord's beloveds.
The outer mind and the intellectual mind are helpful for the worldly
chores. The intuitive mind and the sublime mind are helpful in concentration
of the mind and its deviation towards the Lord. In fact it is this sublime
consciousness that reaches us to the Lord.
Mardana had asked Guru Nanak whether one could reach the Lord with
this mind. Then the Guru said: This mind is transformed into another
awakened mind. That awakened mind reaches you to the Lord. He meant the
awakened mind that the Guru said sublime mind.
