Game of love 💚- BHAI VEER SINGH JI, ON NAAM MEDITATION!

BHAI VEER SINGH JI, ON NAAM MEDITATION!

Bhai Veer SIngh’s Ji delved deeper and deeper into the spiritual teachings of our Guru. Below, listed are a compilation of points espoused by Bhai Sahib on the very heartbeat of Sikhi – Naam Simran.

1. Vaheguroo is the Gurmantar, by doing it’s Simran (rememberance), EVERYTHING is possible and can be achieved.

2. Simran is not an empty practice. It is the Game of Love. Naam must be recited by ones self as if they, who until eating food, cannot be satisfied. Simran is to be recited by ones tongue, which gradually reaches one’s heart. A Naam ‘Abhiyasi’ (practitioner) must have great patience and humility.

3. With Simran, the mind first eliminates its dirt and the one who practices Simran shows self-control from bad deeds.

4. By churning on “Vaheguroo, Vaheguroo” one’s mind is affected from every angle. The mind becomes more soft and gentle. It can distinguish between right and wrong and can avoid vices and evil.

5. In the initial stages, Simran eliminates the mind’s dirt. So, at first it is difficult to concentrate. Once the dirt and filth are removed it becomes much easier to concentrate. Once the mind becomes pure one begins to enjoy the sweetness of Simran and does not want to stop doing it.

6. Do not worry if your mind doesn’t focus. You must continue focusing on repeating Naam through the day. Whilst enjoying Naam if the mind focuses even a little bit, that is not a small thing. The mind achieves complete control only through Vaheguroo’s blessing.

7. Whether your mind is able to concentrate or not, continue to meditate on Naam. Those who remained firm will one day achieve complete concentration. Those who continue in this journey, however slowly, will reach their destination.

8. Getting to taste the sweetness of Naam is in Guru Ji’s hands. A Sikh’s duty is to devote and worship. He does not hold the right for it to bear fruit. Guru Ji occasionally will deliver a glimpse of the wondrous lord so that their Sikh does not falter.

9. Naam eliminates sin and pain. Simran even cures the body and takes us closer to God. It allows us to see within ourselves.

10. Those who take Naam should remain humble. Naam is a blessing and gift from Vaheguroo. If we repeat Naam with this in mind it will keep us humble. The Naami One has power in his Ardas. When Vaheguroo’s blessings begin to shower on this Sikh, they should beware. People may try to use and exploit them. This can also affect their connection with Naam.

11. As one continues in meditation on Naam one attains great physical powers. One must avoid exhibiting these powers as they create great ego. As ego enters the mind, connection with Naam breaks.

12. One who has physical powers is not great. Greater is the one who lives continually in the joy of Naam and for whom Naam has become the foundation of life.

13. After saying “Vaheguroo” once, if one feels like saying “Vaheguroo” again, then consider that Simran is working on the mind and the filth is being removed.

14. After saying “Vaheguroo” once, if one feels like saying “Vaheguroo” again, then thank Vaheguroo four times, that he has blessed you with Naam and that you have so much love for Naam.

15. Meditation on Naam is a great gift and is attained with the blessings of Vaheguroo. When you say “Vaheguroo” then also thank Vaheguroo again, who blessed you with this gift.

16. When your consciousness reaches its complete blissful state one should not feel proud but understand it as Vaheguroo’s compassion. Some people become arrogant in this state and this disrupts their spiritual journey. Arrogance and pride must always be avoided.

17. With the practice of Simran you are gaining on your spiritual journey. These are some signs of progress:
After saying “Vaheguroo” once, you feel like saying “Vaheguroo” again
Your faith in Naam increases day by day.
Influence of your vices will decrease.
You feel peace and quiet in seclusion.

18. Always remember Naam is the only thing you will take with you in the end. So, do meditate on Naam until your last breath.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji Says, "bin naam preet piaar naahee vaseh saach suheleeaa || sach man sajan sa(n)tokh melaa guramatee sahu jaaniaa"
Without Naam, the Name of the Lord, there is no love and affection; but with her True Lord, she abides in peace. Through mental truth and contentment, union with the True Friend is attained; through the Guru's Teachings, the Husband Lord is known.

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💙- SUPERNATURAL SPIRITUAL POWERS 1/2!

SUPERNATURAL SPIRITUAL POWERS 1/2!

Would like to share a very interesting post I read earlier!

Please know that these powers can only be earned with constant meditation and Simran on the one and only Vaheguroo’s (God’s) Name!

These are supernatural powers, and include Ridhi, Sidhi, Nau-Nidhi, Budhi, and Mukti -
Ridhi
It is attainment, success, progress, and affluence. Literally, Ridhi also means cooked-food. The practitioner of the Naam becomes widely known (influential), and the people start bringing him or her all sorts of foods, eatables, gifts, and other commodities - one of his attainments.

Sidhi
Occult, i.e. supernatural powers. One can be present at more than one places at one and the same time, can make prophesies, become invisible, get power to fly, can make things happen, bless (and curse) others, produce things from nowhere, bring back life to the dead, and solve problems of the others. His or her Hamzad (astral-self) can separate from the gross body and visit places etc. Such powers come naturally as well. Power to change his body with another on verge of the other’s death, can develop. Some may get the power to die at will, and even of automatic self-immolation of his or her dead body. The practitioner does not usually long or work for them. He is not supposed to display his or her prowess. Moreover, these are considered to be of no great merit, are interference in the Lord’s plans, and are a hindrance in the God realisation. These do not lead to emancipation - Ridh-e sidh-e sabhu mohu haae Naamu naa vassaae Manne aa-ae Supernatural powers are attachments, These do not permit the Naam to get set in the mind. 5-593-18
Sidhis are 18. (Shabdarath, S,G,P.C., 1986, Page 10).

Minor Sidhis
These are ten:
Door-Darshan - to see all, clairvoyance.
Door-Sarvan - to hear all, clairaudience.
Par-Kaya Parvesh - ability to enter other’s body. To rejuvenate, he may discard his own old body and enter that of a (dying) young person.
Annuram - freedom from hunger and thirst.

Savichhatt-Mirtu - to die at will, to die the way one wants to.
Sankalap Sidhi - to get desires fulfilled, to have all that one wants.
Apprittehatt-Gatee - ability to go anywhere without any hindrance or obstruction.
Mano-Veg - to go anywhere at the speed of thought.
Sur-Kareer.a - to have enjoyment along with gods, to join them in enjoyments (merry making).

Major Sidhis
These are eight:

Garima - to become heavy, gain an excessive weight.
Laghima - to become light, subtle.

Eeshihta (Isatva) - lordliness, and power to persuade others.
Vashihta (Vasitva) - to control other’s mind. Self control - control over all senses.
Nau-Nidhi
Nidhis are nine types of treasures - (Page 506, Gur Shabad Ratnakar, Kahn Singh, Bhasha Vibhag, 1960. Shabdarath, S,G,P.C., 1986, Page 10).

Game of love ❤️- SUPERNATURAL SPIRITUAL POWERS 2/2!

SUPERNATURAL SPIRITUAL POWERS 2/2!

Continued From Last Post....

Budhi
Wisdom. He becomes a Brahm-Giani: one with the knowledge about God - a realised person. This confirms the practitioner into -
Bharosa - faith. A deep faith and dependence on God. A firm faith in Vaheguroo (God) is the first and the foremost experience of the practitioner of the Naam-Jaap. He becomes a firm believer that God is one and there is none other like Him, He is the Creator, Doer, everywhere, Omnipotent and every thingis under His will.
Leenta - an absolute attachment (absorption) to God.
Santokh - contentment (on destiny).
Detachment - from the dear ones and the worldly possessions.
Hukam - acceptance of the will of God. It is total surrender to Him.
Sehaj - equilibrium, equipoise.
Anand - perpetual delight, permanent joy.
Vismaad - ecstasy: Joy plus wonderment, forgetting the self.
Nidar - benevolence of God. He believes in the mercy of God as an instrument of his attainments, and that his own efforts mean nothing. This attitude keeps him free from ego. His efforts are needed to make him fit for the mercy of God.

Mukti or Moksh
Liberation from the worldly attachments, transmigration, and from the cycle of birth and death (reincarnation). These are the characteristics of a Mukat (emancipated, liberated person).

Char-Padarath
Four boons These are - Dharam, Arath, Kaam, and Moksh. These four are the usual goals of life for everyone - an ethical discipline of life, assets to fulfill the needs, marriage and children, and in the end liberation.
Dharam - discipline. Understanding of his or her duties i.e. virtues (ethics).
Arath - assets. He or she has no dearth of money - precious metals, pearls, and stones. Gets all the wealth.
Kaam - desires. His or her all desires get fulfilled and it covers marriage and children.
Moksh - redemption (liberation). He or she attains emancipation.

Traaekaal-Drishti, Vaak-Sidhi
Traaekaal Drishti - Triple-Vision (three-dimensional), all knowing. He can see (know) all that happened in the past, is going on now, and will come tomorrow (omniscient). The powers of intuition and prophecy develop, he will know things before these happen, can make predictions and foretell his own end. These experiences should be taken as indicators of progress. Boasting about them creates an ego, which hinders further advancement of the practitioner. Commonly, the people think that these should be kept secret. Of course, one should share these only with the right persons. Such things motivate others to do the Naam-Jaap. The Guru advises to recite His Name and to attach others to do so.

Vaak-Sidhi - Whatever he or she says, comes to pass (happens). It is generally advised that anyone practicing the Naam, should never let anything unwanted escape from his or her mouth.

Samm-Drishti, Turi-aa-Avastha
Samm-Drishti - No discrimination. Everyone is one and the same to him. He perceives God in every thingand everyone. Turiyaa Avastha - Chautha-Padd (Fourth Dimension) - Going higher to the three states of Maya (mundane, the worldly things) i.e. ego, evil and virtue. The world is a play of these three dimensions. Turiaa Avastha means the Fourth State i.e. detachment from these three characteristics of the world, and transcending them (Transcendental Meditation).

Deh Abhav
One feels that one’s body is no more. The body-sense disappears. With the Naam-Jaap, one rises to such a level of absorption in God that one has no more to do with the body. When there is no body sense, there is no affliction or pain. He or she gets detached from the physical existence, and goes above the fear of disease and death. There is no disease or death for such a realised person. To keep him or her alive, others have to take his or her care.

Guru Amardas Ji Says, “braham bi(n)dhai tis dhaa brahamat rahai ek sabadh liv lai ||
One who knows God, and who lovingly focuses his attention on the One Word of the Shabad, keeps his spirituality intact.

nav nidhee attaareh sidhee pichhai lageeaa fireh jo har hiradhai sadhaa vasai ||
The nine treasures and the eighteen spiritual powers of the Siddhas follow him, who keeps the Lord enshrined in his heart.

bin satigur naau na paieeaai bujhahu kar veechaar ||
Without the True Guru, the Name is not found; understand this, and reflect upon it.

naanak poorai bhaag satigur milai sukh paae jug chaar ||1||
O Nanak, through perfect good destiny, one meets the True Guru, and finds peace, throughout the four ages. ||1||”

Vaheguroo!
