Naam to 'Charan Kamal' to Naam - Ever in Bliss!Part 2Contemplation Gurmat NAAM or Charan Kamal and SIman by reciting Naam or Charan Kamal is one and the spiritual activity says GurbaNee
ਚਲਤਬੈਸਤਸੋਵਤਜਾਗਤਗੁਰਮੰਤ੍ਰੁਰਿਦੈਚਿਤਾਰਿ॥
Walking, Sitting, sleeping or awake, keep contemplating Gur-Mantra in Mind
ਚਰਣਸਰਣਭਜੁਸੰਗਿਸਾਧੂਭਵਸਾਗਰਉਤਰਹਿਪਾਰਿ॥1॥
Seek protection of Charan in Holy Company
Thus you shall ferry across the horrid worldly ocean
&
ਸੋਈਬਿਧਾਤਾਖਿਨੁਖਿਨੁਜਪੀਐ॥
Contemplate every moment of the Creator Lord
ਜਿਸੁਸਿਮਰਤਅਵਗੁਣਸਭਿਢਕੀਐ॥
His contemplation shall cover up all your evil doings
ਚਰਣਕਮਲਉਰਅੰਤਰਿਧਾਰਹੁ॥
Enshrine Charan Kamal within the mind and thus
ਬਿਖਿਆਬਨਤੇਜੀਉਉਧਾਰਹੁ॥
Redeem your being from the poisonous worldly wilderness
In normal walking around, standing or sitting, sleeping or being awake, all the time, irrespective of any activity, the contemplation of Gur-Mantra, 'VAHEGURU', in mind remains a constant mental activity. This indeed the enshrinement of Charan Kamal within the being. The Nectarine Effulgent Image in mind is the contemplation of Charan Kamal and yoking of Shabad and Awareness in practice. This contemplation of Effulgent Proliferation ushers in blissfully imbibing Amrith within. This way imbibing Amrit through contemplation of Charan Kamal is the Simran of Nectarine Effulgent NAAM. The same Creator Lord, through constant contemplation banishes all doubts and demerits. The same contemplation in mind of Charan Kamal redeems from the poisonous worldly wilderness. Without becoming a profound devotee of Charan Kamal one remains unaware of the worldly poisonous wilderness. On the contrary
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁਕਉਰਾਬਿਖਿਆਮੀਠੀ
Bitter is The Amrit and Sweet is the poison
goes to form the belief of a non-believer. Further on:
ਜੋਹਲਾਹਲਸੋਪੀਵੈਬਉਰਾ
The demented food drinks poison
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁਨਾਮੁਜਾਨੈਕਰਿਕਉਰਾ
While he shuns Amrit Naam as Bitter
The devotees of Charan Kamal, in their bee like pursuit of the Ecstatic Nectarine Sway, entertain no other thought. Their life is dedicated to enchanting addiction to Amrit of 'Charan Kamal' in constant contemplation. They never lose sight of 'VAHEGURU' even for a moment, the Ever Abiding Lord! The following quote pictures such a state:
ਬਿਸਰਤਨਾਹਿਮਨਤੇਹਰੀ॥
Never is the Lord forgotten in mind
ਅਬਇਹਪ੍ਰੀਤਿਮਹਾਪ੍ਰਬਲਭਈਆਨਬਿਖੈਜਰੀ॥ਰਹਾਉ॥
Profound is His Sweet Love yearning, abandoning all other poison. Pause
ਬੂੰਦਕਹਾਤਿਆਗਿਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕਮੀਨਰਹਤਨਘਰੀ॥
How can a fish and a rain bird forsake water, their life substance?
ਗੁਨਗੋਪਾਲਉਚਾਰੁਰਸਨਾਟੇਵਏਹਪਰੀ॥1॥
Singing Divine Praise has become a habitual practice
ਮਹਾਨਾਦਕੁਰੰਕਮੋਹਿਓਬੇਧਿਤੀਖਨਸਰੀ॥
A deer irresistibly attracted by the enchanting music gets pierced with sharp arrows
ਪ੍ਰਭਚਰਨਕਮਲਰਸਾਲਨਾਨਕਗਾਠਿਬਾਧਿਧਰੀ॥2॥1॥9॥
O'Nanak! Divine Nectarine Charan Kamal are similarly tied to mind in a knot
The devotees always contemplate of 'VAHEGURU' without let up. Such is the knot togetherness! Their yearning for visioning 'VAHEGURU' is limitless. The Strength of their LOVE bestows wondrous Nectarine Bliss that steadies the mind to unshakable Faith & all desires are burnt away to ashes. Just as rain bird does not survive without the special rain drop (Suanti), fish out of water dies quickly and a deer is irresistibly attracted by the music, losing all awareness, even as he is pierced with sharp arrows, similarly the heart of the devotees pierced by the love of Nectarine Charan Kamal is tied up in Oneness. This LOVE is akin to the love of the moon bird for the moon. The Ecstatic Sway in contemplation of 'CHARAN KAMAL' is perpetual. In his spiritual state of high stability, enjoying bliss, he cries out
ਪੇਖਿਪੇਖਿਜੀਵਾਦਰਸੁਤੁਮ੍ਾਰਾ॥
Beholding Your Sight, I Survive
ਚਰਣਕਮਲਜਾਈਬਲਿਹਾਰਾ
I am sacrifice unto Blessed 'CHARAN KAMAL'
As more and more sway in ecstasy engrosses the devotee, more and more he gives himself in sacrificing devotion to Charan Kamal. His prayer in enchantment goes like this:
ਚਰਣਸਰਣਸਨਾਥਇਹੁਮਨੁਰੰਗਿਰਾਤੇਲਾਲ॥
In Divine Sanctuary blessed with Presence of The Lord
My Mind is dyed in the Hue of Divine Love!
Thus glowing with Divine Love, they hold on to Charan Kamal in their mind always. And why not? This is their very life Sustenance! Says GurbaNee
ਚਰਣਕਮਲਬਸਾਇਹਿਰਦੈਜੀਅਕੋਆਧਾਰੁ
Charan Kamal abiding in mind, is the very sustenance of Life
