Vahiguru ji ka Khalsa, Vahiguru ji ki Fatih!
In the quiet chambers of the heart, a melody is waiting to be heard. It is not an ordinary sound—it is a celestial symphony, untouched by human hands, resounding in the fortunate heart-home where Nam, Identification with IkOankar, the One, dwells. Guru Amardas Sahib, in the fifth stanza of Anand Sahib, reveals: In that fortunate heart-home, the five supreme sounds have resounded. These are not mere echoes; they are the rhythms of boundless abundance, the harmonies of a heart-mind aligned with the Infinite.
Imagine a being whose every breath vibrates with these supreme sounds. A heart so attuned that the artistry and power of That House—the Divine realm—flow into their very being. In them, the radiance of the One manifests. The struggles that once seemed insurmountable—lust, anger, greed, attachment, and pride—fade into whispers. Fear dissolves. Death loses its grip. What remains is comfort without limits, joy without end, and bliss beyond measure.
We pause.
We reflect.
Many speak of divine gifts as treasures reserved for the chosen few. Myths tell of mortals rising to god-like status, granted powers beyond human reach. But Guru Amardas Sahib reveals a more profound truth—these divine qualities are already within us. No intermediaries, no distant gatekeepers. Grace flows directly from the Origin.
The world ranks, categorizes, and excludes. The Guru speaks of an embrace without hierarchy. Grace is not earned—it simply is. Perpetual, unending, flowing to all. Those anchored in Nam become aware of it; they feel the celestial symphony within. Their heart-minds radiate with artistry, power, and beauty. They conquer inner storms, silencing the voices of fear and doubt. And in that quiet, the Eternal melody resounds.
Have we truly paused—paused long enough to feel the grace that holds us, the quiet embrace that has never left? Nam is not some distant echo, not something to be sought in faraway places. It is here, within us, softly calling, waiting to resound in the depths of our heart-home.
Perhaps we do not need to strive or search. Perhaps all that is needed is a gentle listening—a softening, a turning inward, a trust that grace is already flowing through us, moment by moment.
No rush, no force—only a whisper,
a gentle call to listen, to open, to yield.
The symphony has never ceased,
its melodies weaving through time, through breath.
As we soften, as we slow,
as our hearts find their rhythm in stillness,
we awaken to a truth eternal—
we were never apart, never lost.
We have always belonged to the Eternal Song.
May the Wisdom-Guru be with us!
Maya, in the Guru Granth Sahib, refers to temporary relationships and possessions that constantly change. While they are gifts from the eternal One, attachment to them amplifies I-ness (Ego). By recognizing their impermanence and not becoming attached, on
