Game of love ❤️- LOWERED EYES

LOWERED EYES

Neechae loein kar reho lae saajan ghatt maahi.
Kabeer, I keep my eyes lowered, and enshrine my Friend within my heart.

sabh ras khaelo peea so kisee lakhaavo naahi
I enjoy all pleasures with my Beloved, but I do not let anyone else know.

This is a beautiful shalok from Bhagat Kabeer Ji and has a very deep meaning. Keeping eyes low refers to humility, being introvert and constantly focussing on Naam meditation to avoid a break of concentration. That person who recognises Vaheguroo inside them and has been blessed with the vision of God, will naturally become quieter, humble and more inside themselves.

Keeping eyes down, also refers to not looking at the illusion of the world. This has become uninteresting for the person who has enshrined Vaheguroo (God) within them.
This person now enjoys the sublime rass (taste) of Naam and feels and sees Vaheguroo everywhere. Their soul is very close to merging with the pure soul (Vaheguroo) at this stage.

These are the final stages. They don't shout this about. They just keep it to themselves, experience and enjoy it. Nothing else tastes as sweet. They sit quietly in Sangat and during Kirtan (singing Gods praises) they listen to the Naam within them, which recites automatically within through blessings and constant practice.

No one knows what they are experiencing and even if they tried to explain it in words, they wouldn't be able to. Only those that have experienced the same, will know this state. One just wants to look within themselves and enjoy all the inner experiences Vaheguroo is blessing them with.

Us as human beings, all have the potential to achieve this stage but choose to throw away this gift of loving God through peaceful meditation. Bhagat Ji, on the same ang (page) goes on to say, 'Neechae loein kio karo sabh ghatt dhaekho peeo'
Why should I keep my eyes lowered? I see my Beloved in every heart.

This is the perfect state of spiritual enlightenment!

Vaheguroo!
