knowledge. Secondly, they have said: When our mind feels some
wondrousness, then it becomes tranquil for some moments i.e. it stops thinking,
knowing and perceiving. At that timewe feel ecstasy. We feel the presence of
the Infinite, Inaccessible and Limitless Lord. Butthis happens for a few moments
only. It doesn't stay incessantly.
Thirdly, our intel1ectual mind cannot perceive the Lord till the mind is
bound by time and space because the Lord is above time and space. The
intellectual mind has jurisdiction up to time and space. Hence it cannot feel
the Lord.
Now let us come to Guru Nanak's doctrine where he gave knowledge of
the Lord and the practical way to meet the Lord. It appears he possessed all
awareness of philosophy. But it was through real spirituality and perceptual
knowledge.
According to Guru Nanak the Lord reveals Himself in His Name and in
nature and recitation of His Name with love or sinf:,>ing His praises with or
without music or seeing the wondrous scenes of nature one feels super
consciousness or elevation of mind. The Guru called it ecstatic sensation. The
mind rises above time and space.
In the Holy Scripture Guru Granth Sahib and the writings ofBhai Gurdas
different stages of this ecstasy or rapture are mentioned. Here we need not
delve upon those.
We might just say that super consciousness is a higher sense or so to say
the sixth sense wherein our human soul gets a sensation of the presence of
the Lord or so to say gets a touch of the Supreme soul.
In these five hundred years Guru Nanak is the only prophet whose soul
was fully immersed in the Supreme soul. He had the incessant sensation of
the presence of the Lord in his mind, heart and body and he described it to
the world.
He did not go into argumentation of specifics of time and space. But the
practical way ofmeeting the Lord that he told us is to rise above the sphere of
time and space of philosophy and immerse the human soul with the Supreme
soul.
Philosophy tells us that we can get the incessant sensation ofthe presence
of the Lord, if our mind can rise above the sphere of time and space or if the
mind becomes tranquil, then our human soul will meet the Supreme soul.
See, Guru Nanak's three marvels on these three aspects of the mind.
Time: Time is passing in moments, past, present and future. Present
becomes past and the future becomes present.
