IK OANKAAR SAT NAAM SATGUR PARSAAD
GURU PYARE OM JI:
 
GUR FATEH PARVAAN KARNA JI.
 
IT HAS BEEN A GREAT PLEASURE TO SPEAK TO YOU, OUR HEAD WILL REMAIN UNDER THE DUST OF THOSE WHO ARE ENGAGED IN THE SERVICE OF SAT NAAM – DHAN DHAN PAAR BRAHAM PITA PARMESAR.
 
ALL THE DANDAUT AND SHUKRANA IS FOR THE GUR AND THE GURU – DHAN DHAN PAAR BRAHAM PITA PARMESAR, WE ARE JUST A WORTHLESS CREATURE CAPABLE OF DOING NOTHING, EVERYTHING HAPPENS WITH HIS GUR KIRPA AND GUR PARSAAD – KARTA PURAKH JI.
 
Most Respected Dassan Dass ji,
 
Es sevak ka aap ko kotan kot dandaut bandana and sukhrana ji. It’s been almost a month since we last exchanged words though email. But otherwise you along with Akal Purakh ji are always there in my mind, chit and hirda. I try not to send you too many emails and not to take too much of your time as I find your time is very valuable and priceless and as I myself have been blessed by you there are many other souls in this world which needs your blessings and time and I in no way want to take their share and piece of your time. With Akal Purakh’s gur prasad and your grace this sevak’s naam simran is going great and making its way towards destiny. Just wanted to share my few thoughts and experiences with you and listen to your anmolak words and wisdom. From last few days their is a keen desire developing in my mind to personally meet you and get your darshan and blessings. I’m not sure where you physically live but by looking at the timezone of your email reply’s I guess you live somewhere in the west cost of U.S. This sevak of yours along with his family lives in Edison in New Jersey , U.S. Am I fortunate enough to get your holy darshan. Christmas holiday’s were approaching and I was thinking if this time could be best used by getting your darshan and spending some time with you. I don’t know what your schedule is but I wanted to share my true desires and feeling with you.
 
KOTTAN KOT DANDAUT TO YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE COLLECTING NAAM KI KAMAI, OUR SEES WILL ALWAYS REMAIN UNDER THE DUST OF THE FEET OF THOSE WHO ARE ENGAGED IN NAAM SIMRAN AND ARE COLLECTING NAAM KI KAMAI. NAAM SIMRAN, COLLECTION OF NAAM KI KAMAI, PURAN BANDGI AND SEVA IS THE KEY TO THE SPIRITUAL SUCCESS, AND THIS IS THE GUR PARSAAD, SO WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT, PHYSICAL MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE WHEN IT IS DESTINED TO BE SO, THE HIGHEST SEVA FOR YOU IS NAAM SIMRAN AND KEEP ON COLLECTING THE NAAM KI KAMAI AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL HAPPEN ACCORDING TO THE DESTINY, SO FAR YOU HAVE BEEN DOING GREAT SO KEEP IT UP AND KEEP ON ENHANCING YOUR SHARDHAA, PREET, DEVOTION, LOVE, FAITH AND TRUST AND KEEP ON COLLECTING THE NAAK KI KAMAI, PHYSICAL MEETING IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT – INTERNAL ONENESS IS THE KEY AND JUST KEEP ON DOING AS WE SAID AND KEEP ON MOVING TOWARDS PURAN BANDGI AND SEVA.
 
YOU CAN CONTACT US AND COMMUNICATE WITH US THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN DOING, THERE IS NO RESTRICTION ON YOUR E-MAILS, YOU CAN WRITE US EVERYDAY IF YOU FEEL SO, YOU CAN ASK ABOUT ANYTHING WHICH YOU FEEL LIKE ASKING, THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THAT WHATSOEVER, ALL WE WANT AND PRAY IS THAT YOU KEEP ON MOVING TOWARDS PURAN BANDGI AND SEVA AND THEN A TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU AND WE WILL BECOME ONE AND ALL YOUR DESIRES WILL DIMINISH – IN THE MEANWHILE JUST KEEP ON SHARING YOUR FEELINGS AND DESIRES WITH US LIKE THIS, WE LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS WE LOVE GOD AND YOUR E-MAILS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO US AS A DIRECT MESSAGE FROM GOD. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU IS TO WIN OVER THE MAYA COMPLETELY. WE ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU AND WILL REMAIN WITH YOU UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY UNITED WITH AKAL PURAKH JI.
 
Next I want to share some spiritual experiences that I’m witnessing these days during SATNAAM simran. As I told you last time these days With gur prasad and your blessings I hear the Anahad naad music all the time. This melodious music is very intensive when I’m alone in a quiet room especially doing simran in amritvella time and late night hours but otherwise whenever I want I can hear it if I find a quiet place. Also during simran in samadhi I feel and hear amrit rising from sat sarovars from the lower part of the body towards the head. Sometimes the flow of Amrit is also downward. All this is amazing experience and cannot be described by mere words. Earlier I used to see utter darkness when I closed by eyes during simran, but these days I see splashes of light (nothing fixed), some kind of bright figures and most often see some light of oval shape which appears for sometime and then disappears. I’m ignorant and don’t fully understand what is happening but I’m enjoying it and hoping one day it will stabilize and I’ll be able to see clearly what Akal Purakh ji wants to show me.
 
PANCH SHABAD ANHAD NAAD MUSIC IS HEARD IN THE DASSAM DUAAR AND YOU ARE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO BE BLESSED WITH THAT GUR PARSAAD – “ANHAD SHABAD DASSAM DUAAR VAJJYEAA TAA AMRIT NAAM CHUAAYEAA THAA” SO PLEASE KEEP ON ENJOYING THIS AMRIT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS, AS YOUR INSIDE MOVE MORE AND MORE TOWARDS INTERNAL SILENCE – THOUGHTLESSNESS – THIS MUSIC WILL KEEP ON ENHANCING – THE AMRIT FLOWS ALL THROUGH THE BODY AND YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS – “AMRIT BHINNIE DEHURIE”. THESE KINDS OF EXPERIENCES CAN’T BE DESCRIBED AS YOU SAID IT RIGHT, AKATH KI KATHA CAN’T BE DESCRIBED, IT CAN ONLY BE EXPERIENCED AND SEEN PHYSICALLY BY THE ONE WHO IS BLESSED WITH THIS GUR PARSAAD. SEEING LIGHT AND BRIGHTNESS IS GREAT – JUST CONCENTRATE ON LONGER SESSION OF SMAADHEE – 2 TO 4 HOURS OR MORE. SUNN SMAADHEE IS THE NEXT STAGE – “SUNN SMAADH MAHA PARMARATH”. JUST KEEP ON COLLECTING NAAM DHAN AND YOU WILL KEEP ON MOVING UPWARDS, BEWARE OF MAYA ALL THE TIME.
 
Also, towards the end of the simran when enough amrit has flown up and down my body, my body starts to shake and dance rigorously. Also often times my hand goes into Guru Nanak asan with my palm facing in the front but strangely enough after few seconds or minutes the hand turns towards me with the palm facing me as if Guru Nanak ji is blessing me through me. After few minutes it then one by one start touching my center of the forehead then back of my head then left side and right side of my head then my hirda and then finally my center of the throat. I guess Baba ji is blessing these areas of mine for further spiritual progress towards him.
 
AMRIT IS NEVER ENOUGH – IT IS INFINITE SO KEEP ON COLLECTING IT, THERE IS NO LIMIT, NO DEPTH, NO DIMENSION, AND CAN’T BE QUANTIFIED – SHAKING OF BODY AND DANCING IN SMAADHEE IS A VERY GOOD ASSANS JUST GO WITH THESE ASSAMS AND KEEP ON ENJOYING NAAM SIMRAN IN THESE SMADHEE ASSANS, THIS IS FOR CORRECTION AND BALANCING OF ALL THE SPIRITUAL ENERGIES AND YOUR MIND AND INSIDE – CLEANSING TO MAKE YOUR SUKSHAM DEHI PURE AS PURE GOLD – KANCHAN DEHI, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD YOUR HIRDA TO A PURAN SACHYARI REHAT – AND WILL FILL IT UP WITH ALL THE DIVINE QUALITIIES. THE SMAADHEE ASSAN YOU SEE GURU NANAK PATSHAH JI IS THE HIGHEST SMADHEE AND WHEN IN THIS KIND OF A ASSAN A SANT IS SITTING THEN WHOSOEVER IS SITTING INFRONT GETS THE GUR PARSAAD, AND IF THE HAND IS MOVING TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF YOUR CHEST THAT MEANS THAT DHAN DHAN PAAR BRAHAM PARMESAR IS SITTING IN YOUR HIRDA, SO YOU ARE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO BE MEDITATING IN SUCH DIVINE ASSANS OF SMADHEE. HAND MOVING TO THE CENTER OF THE FOREHEAD AND COMING DOWN SHOWS THE AMRIT FLOWING THROUGH DASSAM DUAAR TO YOUR HIRDA. ALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE BANDGI GOES IN TO THE KARAM KHAND – AND YOU ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE BLESSED WITH THE GUR PARSAAD OF KARAM KHAND – KARAM MEANS KIRPA – REHMAT – GUR PARSAAD – WHEN THE BHAGTI ACCOUNT IS OPENED IN THE DARGAH AND WHATEVER SIMRAN YOU DO IS COUNTED IN THE DARGAH SO MORE THE BETTER, NEVER ENOUGH, SO PLEASE KEEP ON COLLECTING THE NAAM DHAN AND MAKE YOUR LIFE SUBLIME.
 
Also, Dassan Dass ji in the start of my spiritual initiation which was few months back (sometime middle of September) when I was blessed with NAAM and your blessings I was very eager to walk in the path of 
spirituality towards GOD and was hungry for Akal Purakh’s Darshan and achieving salvation but now after a little progress so far with gur parsad and your blessings my hunger and thirst for the Param Jyot
Darshan instead of reducing is growing more and more. Is there a stage when a person gets fully satisfied and has no more thirst and hunger left for the GOD.
 
THERE IS NO END TO THE BANDGI – IT GOES IN TO THE INFINITE MODE WHEN YOU UNITE WITH HIM – HUNGER FOR NAAM – AMRIT – GUR PARSAAD – DOESN’T DIMINISH – THIS IS THE GUR PARSAAD AND KEEPS ON ENHANCING WITH YOUR SEVA AS YOU GO ALONG – THE ONLY THING THAT DIMINISH IS THE WORLDLY DESIRES – PARAM PADVI BRINGS YOU TO THE COMPLETE STABILITY AND NO DESIRES – AND THEN YOU ARE ALWAYS AND FOREVER ABSORBED IN THE AKAL PURAKH, THE ENTIRE BODY GETS FILLED WITH AMRIT AND NOT ONLY THAT THEN THE AMRIT STARTS TO FLOW OUT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE BLESSED WITH THE GUR PARSAAD TO GIVE THE GUR PARSAAD TO OTHERS, SO WHEN YOU GET ABSORBED IN THE INFINITE YOU BECOME ONE WITH THE INFINITE. A COMPLETE SURRENDER – TUNN MUNN AND DHAN BRINGS YOU CLOSE AND UNITES YOU WITH THE ALMIGHTY. SO GIVING OF TUNN, GIVING OF MUNN AND GIVING DHAN TO THE GUR AND GURU IS THE KEY TO THE DARGAH – COMPLETE SUTRREDER.
 
There is one more question I wanted your divine insights about. I have a small friend circle and some of them are Christian and Muslim. When we get together sometimes we often have a very conducive and positive discussions on various religions and beliefs. There is one major difference in what SGGS Ji and Hindu religion teaches as compared to Christianity and Muslim. SGGS ji and Veda’s preach about Reincarnation whereas Bible and Kuran does not believe in Reincarnation and only believes in one life and hell or heaven after death. I haven’t read Bible or Kuran myself but this is what my friends told to me. The question that comes to my friends and my mind is when Bible and Kuran is also words from the same GOD then why this drastic difference (incomplete picture). Please share the GODs divine wisdom on this.
 
FIRST OF ALL YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM SUCH CONTROVERSIES – THERE IS ONE RELEGION IN THE DEEP DIVINE SENSE AND THAT IS THE TRUTH – SAT NAAM – DHAN DHAN PAAR BRAHAM PARMESAR, EVERYTHING ELSE IS MAN MADE AND HAS NO VALUE – ANY THING THAT DIVIDES HAS NO DIVINE VALUE. WE HAVE NOT READ EITHER BIBLE OR QURAN BUT WE CAN SAY WITH FULL CONFIDENCE THAT THESE THOUGHTS ARE ONLY MAN MADE THOUGHTS, THERE IS NO DIVINE ESSENSE IN THESE THOUGHTS AS YOU MENTIONED ABOUT QURAN AND BIBLE – THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOHAMMAD, CHRIST OR GURU NANAK, THEY ARE ALL SAME, ALL THE RELEGIOUS BOUNDARIES ARE MAN MADE ONLY AND ANYTHING THAT IS SAID BY A NON – PURAN SANT –OR A NON-PURAN BRAHAM GYANI IS NOT TRUE. ONLY A PURAN SANT A PURAN BRAHAM GYANI KNOWS THE TRUTH AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH – AND HAS THE RIGHT FROM THE DARGAH TO PREACH THE SAT – TRUTH, EVERYBODY ELSE WHO IS PREACHING RELIGION IS CREATING SUCH KINDS OF DOUBTS AND DIVISIONS IN THE SOCIETY. WE HAVE READ A BIOGRAPHY OF AN AMERICAN SANT – HAROLD KLEMP WHO HAS VERY CLEARLY WRITTEN ABOUT HIS PREVIOUS LIVES’ STORIES. SO PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SUCH DISCUSSIONS OR TOPICS – UNTIL YOU REACH THE PURAN AWASTHA AND WIN OVER THE MAYA. THE SEVA – PARUPKAAR AND MAHA PARUPKAAR STARTS ONLY AFTER ACHIEVING THE PARAM PADVI AND WINNING THE MAYA. ANYKIND OF A PREACHING BEFORE THAT HAPPENS IS NOT GOOD AND UNAUTHORIZED AND CAN LEAD TO DAMAGE.
 
I feel like asking one question after another to you till all my questions and ignorance vanishes but as I said earlier I do not want to take away lot of your time as many like me needs it. At the end please forgive this sevak of yours for anything unrespectful I have said or written or even thought of due to my ignorance against you or Paarbraham Parmeshwar Ji. Please accept this sevaks kotan kot dandaut bandana and sukhrana ji.
 
Yours humble sevak.
 
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU HAVE – BUT EVENTUALLY YOU WILL START GETTING ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS FROM WITH IN YOUR OWNSELF – SO PLEASE KEEP ON FOCUSSING ON SAT NAAM SIMRAN AND YOU WILL KEEP ON MOVING HIGHER AND HIGHER IN TO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. YOU HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE OR YOU CAN NEVER SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO US – BUT YOU NEED TO BRING THIS DIVINE QUALITY IN TO YOUR DAILY BEHAVIOR WITH EVERYBODY YOU INTERACT WITH – ALL YOUR KARAM S SHOULD BE SAT KARAMS AND NONE SHOULD BE YOUR ASAT KARAMS.
 
GOD BLESS YOU WITH THE GUR PARSAAD OF GIVING TUNN MUNN AND DHAN – COMPLETE SURRENDER. GOD BLESS YOU WITH PURAN BANDGI AND SEVA.
