‘Var Sat’ (seven days) is commonly known as ‘Satvar’ or ‘Satvara.’ This classical and popular poetic form is based on the seven days of the week. Each stanza begins with a particular day and explores an idea, sentiment, or superstition associated with that day, blending cultural beliefs with poetic expression.

Specific days of the week have long been tied to superstitions in folk traditions. The origins of these associations are unclear, yet they may be as old as human consciousness itself. Misfortune or unlikely events experienced on a particular day often led to it being viewed negatively, while a day marked by good news or blessings became ‘auspicious.’ Over time, these individual experiences evolved into collective cultural narratives, creating meanings tied to each day.

However, Bhagat Kabir Ji challenges this conventional understanding of ‘auspicious’ and ‘inauspicious’ days. Rather than being confined by superstitions, he redefines the calendar week as a tool for spiritual practice, emphasizing actions, habits, and deeds that elevate the spirit.

In the rush of daily life, it is easy to feel unsteady or disconnected. Bhagat Kabir Ji reminds us that even amidst the chaos, we can find solace by singing.

In the first stanza, dedicated to Sunday, Bhagat Kabir Ji urges us to sing the virtues of the One. He says: If one sings the virtues of the 1-Light repeatedly, having approached the Wisdom-Guru, that being finds the secret of the 1-Light.

We pause.
We reflect.

This profound message reorients our understanding of days, inviting us to make each one meaningful through devotion rather than superstition. The practice of singing transcends mere ritual. It is a universal act, requiring no tools, rituals, or complex systems—just our voices and hearts.

We cultivate emotions, desires, and a longing for connection with the One through singing. As this practice becomes a habit, it establishes pillars within us, providing steadiness and support for our inner being, much like the foundation of a house that supports its structure.

When we engage deeply in this practice of devotion, we lay the groundwork for joy and bliss. Bhagat Kabir Ji describes this state as: When the stream of consciousness begins to flow continuously, day and night, then in sahaj, an unstruck flute-melody resounds.”

What is sahaj? It is a state of effortless balance, a profound stillness infused with Divine love and awareness, untouched by worldly entanglements. When a seeker immerses in the Wisdom-Guru’s teachings, engages in Remembrance, Praise, and Nam—Identification with the One—and remains unwavering in devotion, sahaj emerges. It is not a fleeting moment but a permanent state of consciousness where Divine harmony resounds without effort.

This unstruck melody—this effortless harmony—is not distant or unattainable. It is not reserved for the spiritual elite or the ascetic. It is within reach for anyone who approaches the One with love and devotion. Bhagat Kabir Ji’s message dissolves barriers, reminding us that even the most restless minds can find stillness, clarity, and comfort. Through the simple act of singing praises, we are invited into this ever-present harmony, where devotion transforms the ordinary into the Divine.

This is an invitation to weave harmony in our lives, starting today, one note at a time.
Will we begin the week by singing praises of the One?
Will we make devotion the steady support in our lives?

May we choose wisely.

May the Wisdom-Guru be with us!
