Amrit Sanchaar (ceremony) - Bairaag (spiritual longing) & Previous Janam (life)
Enjoyed reading this and really wanted to share it!
We arrived at the location of Amrit Sinchaar (ceremony) Samagam (event). Part of me was still thinking that all this was a dream. I could not believe my good fortune. Soon I was called inside, in the hazoori (sanctuary) of Guru Sahib and Punj Pyare (five beloved ones). Jathedar Bau Mal Singh jee was holding the Siri Sahib, (sword) whilst standing. He asked me in extreme Bir-Ras (powerful/spiritual voice), “why have you come here?” I lost my consciousness when I saw them and heard Bau jee. With a trembling voice I said, “Jee I have come here to drink Amrit.” Bau jee in similar Bir Ras said, “You will have to offer your head.” I almost fainting. I got a flood of Bairaag (spiritual crying). I could not say anything. They sent me outside. Everyone had their peshi (questioned to drink Amrit) done and in the end we all were called in.
On one side all the Singhs were standing and on the other side all the Bibiyaan (women). On the side of Bibiyaan, I was standing on the end. When the Baata (utensil) of Amrit was ready, the Jathedar of the Punj, Respectable Bau Mal Singh jee ran his sweet gaze on all sides and I was the first one to be called. I was made to sit in Bir Aasan (Bir sitting-posture). The gift of Amrit was placed on my hand. When I put this gift in my mouth, I lost the worldly senses. That place became some other Mandal (realm). In Punj Pyare, I could only see Guru Kalgidhar (Siri Guru Gobind Singh jee/10th Guru). I don’t even remember receiving other choolay (drops) of Amrit and nor I remember getting Naam DriR (name of God being implanted within). I was sent to my place in this condition of spiritual intoxication. This was the place where I saw Bau Mal Singh jee in the form of my father (for many lives). I realized my relationship of many lives with him (Bau jee had later confirmed that Bibi Inder Kaur was his mother in his previous life). My mind was filled with deep love and devotion for him. In this condition of spiritual intoxication I reached home and did not sleep all night. At Amritvela (ambrosial hours), we did Ishnaan (bathed) Naam Simran (meditated) & Nitnem (prayed). While reading Siri Anand Sahib (5th prayer), my mind got stuck at the following Pankiti (line):
ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਮੁਨਿ ਜਨ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਖੋਜਦੇ ਸੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ "The angelic beings and the silent sages search for the Ambrosial Nectar; this Amrit is obtained from the Guru." Guru Amardas Ji.
If you want this Amrit, drink it now, as you will never know when your final breath will be. Tomorrow may never arrive.
Vaheguroo!
