Guru Amar Das Ji heard the sound of the persianwheel working. (The old method of drawing water from the well with the help of the persian-wheel having earthen or metallic pots.) He felt even the persian-wheel uttering – ‘thou! thou!’ meaning thereby that due to total harmony between the mind and the holy Word, the sound of Divine Name meditation is heard even from insentient objects. When the birds twitter, particularly the sparrow-hawk, great joy is felt, if you start hearing the sound of ‘Waheguru’, ‘Waheguru’ from their speech. Hearing the holy Word in this manner is not something impossible or rare. It is only a matter of absorption in the Name Divine that is required : Jo bolat hai marig meen pankhayroo so bin Har jaapat hai nahee hor. ‘Whatever the deer, the fish and the birds utter; without God they speak not of another.’ (S.G.G.S. P. 1265) If you are travelling in a bus, attune your mind with its hissing and whirling sounds and practise Divine Name meditation. If you are travelling in a train, you will hear God’s Name in its rumbling sound. If you are riding a bicycle, attune your mind with the pedal. This means that you have to try to hear God’s Name in every physical action your body is engaged in. If you are going on foot, harmonize your Name meditation with the movement of your steps. The objective of all these efforts is to practise Divine Name meditation, to recite the Name with every breath and with every particle of the body. Divine Name meditation, practised in the ambrosial early hours of the morning stands you in good stead throughout the day. Divine Name meditation should be practised in the early morning daily without breaking the routine. It should be done not off and on but every day. If you miss on occasions, concentration is broken and no spiritual gain will accrue to you. Divine Name meditation practised regularly at an appointed time and place bears fruit soon. The mind gains poise spontaneously. At no time of the day other than early morning hours can you get real solitude. At ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ‘gurbwxI cwnxu’ 31 isqµbr-12 ‘gurbwxI cwnxu’ 32 -12 this time, there is perfect peace in the environment. Initially, it is absolutely necessary to practise Divine Name meditation in a peaceful environment. Divine Name meditation practitioners all over the world are busy practising meditation at this hour. Divine Name vibrations from all of them spread in the entire cosmos; they are reaching that place too where you are engaged in Name meditation. Due to this, the mind spontaneously gets absorbed in the holy Word. Solitude of a level lower than that of the early morning can be enjoyed outside habitations, on the bank of a lake or a river, in some garden or wild forest, on sand dunes or mountain tops and caves. Our religion is house holderoriented. Therefore, we can enjoy this kind of solitude for some time all right, but we cannot leave our homes and hearths for good and repair to these places for practising Divine Name meditation. Many times, even in solitude, the diffusion of mind is very painful. The thing which is dearest to you in worldly terms, or which has influenced or captured your mind most, occurs to your mind again and again, but owing to our love and attachment for God, in solitude it will soon become absorbed in Divine Name contemplation. Meditation will start in the mind spontaneously. Seeing the scenes and sights of nature around us, the mind automatically gets absorbed in remembering the Lord Creator. In this manner, Divine Name meditation is done with concentration of mind and is full of joy and relish. The devotee attains a state of bliss, when : Bhinnee rainrhee-ai chaamkan taaray. Jaageh sant janaa mayray Raam pi-aaray.(S.G.G.S. P.459) ‘In the dew-drenched night shine the stars. The holy, those beloved of God, at this hour are awake.’ At night, while going to sleep and in the early ambrosial morning, if we cast a glance at the star-studded sky, the coolness of the gently and sweetly shining moon touches our eyes and the beautiful, charming and vast aspect of God comes to be seen. We have a manifest glimpse of the isqµbr-12 -12
Lord Creator, provided our eyes are capable. Every particle of our body is filled with laudations at the wonder of creation and its Creator. Let us have this glimpse of God in the early morning. Thereby peace abides within us and a tingling sensation of bliss is felt. The mind becomes absorbed in deep thoughts and then it ceases to be and experiences spiritual swings. Here no conscious effort has to be made for achieving concentration of mind. God’s Name will automatically emerge from the tongue – Waheguru! Waheguru! Waheguru! Look at nature in this very manner. Discerning God’s form in plants and creepers, in the fragrance of flowers, in the green fields and small hillocks covered with greenery, the mind becomes naturally aligned with and absorbed in Him. One thinks of the Lord Creator. Every object seems to be singing the Divine melody: Gaavahi tuhno pa-un paanee baisantar gaavai raajaa dharam du-aaray. ---------------------- Gaavahi khand mandal varbhandaa kar kar rakhay dhaaray. “Air, water, fire laud Thee ; Dharamraja (Righteous Judge) lauds Thee at the Righteous Portal. -------------- Sing also regions, continents and the universe entire, Propped on Thy support.’ (S.G.G.S. P.6) There is another method also to achieve concentration of mind. By listening to ‘Gurbani Kirtan’ (Singing of Gurbani) and becoming absorbed in it, concentration of mind is attained easily, but there, many ailments come to cling to us. Instead of absorbing ourselves in the hymn, we will continue looking either at the Gurbani singers (Kirtanias) or the congregation. The need is to listen to ‘Kirtan’ by focusing our attention on hymn melody in our inner consciousness. While attending sessions of Gurbani narration and explication too, one should continue reciting the ‘Gurmantra’ (Guru’s chant) within the innermost consciousness or soul, and listen to the discourse with physical ears. -0-0-0- Publications of Sanstha ‘Gurbani Iss Jag Meh Chanan’ Bhawan No 6,Phase 3A,S.A.S Nagar (Mohali),Punjab(india),List of Engilish Books and their brief description 1.
