Point of contact between man and God
In man is a point of contact with God. Knowing this nexus point allows one direct. personal. contact with God.It is a means of communing with God
It is a highly effective stress management technigue. It enables one to remain calm under pressure . That is, to keep one's cortisol, adrnalin, blood pressurre, and heartrate down!
It enables one to calm the body and remain centered and grounded....even in times. of utter chaos and intense suffering
. Under conditions of overwhelming life stress (wch drives others to drink,substance abuse ,etc.; drugs benefit people cope with anxiety, stress,psychic pain,economic hardship, and mental health issues), this becomes one's go-to source of security and fulfillment(strenght and endurance in the face of hardship ).....until it becomes one's exclusive source of security and fulfillment!
It is like walking through !life protected by a force field (armor of God)
It is a source of comfort and stability in an ever-changing unstable world.Everything outside onecan be lost , but the world cannot take away that wch is inside one.
It enables one to deal with the demands and burdens of everyday life with calm and focused energyy!
Meditation on shabd,allows one to experience oneself as enerrgy/spirit rather than as a material body ---the same energy that makes up the whole of creation!
Meditation on shabd, enables one to experience one's material body as. energy ---the energy that makes up the whole universe! The energy experienced within is coextensive with the energy that makes up the whole univerrse.It is all one unified continuem of onenesss . https://fb.watch/pgfyvzli6N/?mibextid=Nif5oz
Every night I attune myself with that energy wch inhabits and animates (gives life to) this body... This is the life force without sch the body is just an inanimate corpse.
Embracing this identity generates the delusion of immortality (eternal life)
...for energy can't be destroyed
But the energy itself is inanimate and senseless ,and it is only through its association with a material body that sensation and awareness emerges..Disassociation/death results in a. loss of. awareness.
The breathless state is accompanied by a massive release of neurotransmitters within the brain wch is subjectively experienced as cosmic consciousness or enlightenment/Samadhi

#near death experience ("dying while living")
**************
One who has not freed himself from the world and worldly attachments cannot progress in Na'am . One's attention is. continuously being pulled outward by the allure ments of the world. Unless one receives the gift of.Naam , the outer world is the only. source of security and fulfillment that we know!
Only Na'am has the power to draw our attention inward. (Na'am is an inner experience, and cannot be realized by outward pursuits.) Attachment to Na'am frees one from bondage to the material world. Henceforth one obtains one's security and fulfillment exclusively from the experience of Naam.
It is not sufficient to withdraw one's attention from the external world of sense experience,and focus one's attention on the internal world of the mind. The contents of the mind are. filled with our attachments to the external world.

To define is to limit ,and since the Truth/God is illimitable,..it remains undefined.(but not unknowable!). God cannot be demarcated. But can be experienced through Nam!
Nam is the energy (the life force)that enlivens everything that lives! Its primal manifestation is as sound and light. It is the primordial form of God
The saints achieved a direct inner contact with this Truth/Godhead within the Holy Temple of the human body.(by becoming adepts in the practice of Nam). Nam is the link (point of conntact) betweeen man and God.
Through the practice of Nam ( Surat Shabd Yoga) is the means of contacting the life current that creates,sustains,and controls creation.
One who has not freed himself from the world and worldly attachments cannot progress in Na'am . One's attention is. continuously being pulled outward by the allure ments of the world. Unless one receives the gift of.Naam , the outer world is the only. source of security and fulfillment that we know! Only Na'am can free one from this dependence on the World. Without Na'am one remains entangled in mind and. matter.Without this soul food (water of life,bread of life) one cannot detach from the world and remains slave to mind and senses.. . Absorbed in Na'am One becomes dead to all outside allurements/enjoyments and loses all other appetites/desires. The love of the world drops off automaticaly with concentrated meditation on Naam.
Only Na'am has the power to draw our attention inward. (Na'am is an inner experience, and cannot be realized by outward pursuits.) Attachment to Na'am frees one from bondage to the material world. Henceforth one obtains one's security and fulfillment exclusively from the experience of Naam. Shabd renders all worldly pleasures insipid and makes one a renunciate.
.The trouble is that everyone holds the conviction (clings to the delusion)that the outer world is the only reality and the only source of fulfillment. Without constant association with a Godman/saint (a master soul is one who is ever in contact with Naam; i.e ever absorbed within ) one cannot breakout of this delusion , and cannot lose the desire for worldly pleasures. He alone can explain the theory and provide a. practical demonstration of the Reality within.I.E. grant the experience of Naam! (knowledge of Self and knowledge of God).A master soul is one who can make known/manifest/audible the hidden Sound Current. He connects our awareness with the lowest level of hearing. of the Sound Cuurrent. This connection can then be developed by wholehearted day-to-day practice/concentration. It grows gradually with training and guidanve! It is the place all men turn to when they are in distress and the world becomes a vale of tears! Only Na'am is trustworthy!
It is not sufficient to withdraw one's attention from the external world of sense experience,and focus one's attention on the internal world of the mind. The contents of the mind are. filled with our attachments to the external world..Our attention is ever flowing outward into the world and finds no interest in the Sound Current/Monotone .* * "And there are they wch are sown among thorns,such as hear the Word..but the cares of the world, the deceitfullness of. riches ,and the lusts of other things entering in. choke the Word and it.becomes unfruitful" --Mark 4 4-9. 14-20. Doubt and distrust prevent most from breaking out of bondage to the world. As long as the mind is in a continual state of flux and. unrest and is filled with thoughts of I-am-ness (egotism) ,it cannot catch the subtle and sublime sound of Shabd nor acquire any love for it. Unable to detach our attention from the world ,we cannot give our attention fully to the Sound within. In the realm of mind and matter one remains prey to sorrow and affliction.
Total absorption in Na'am is the only escape from the ocean of delusive matter. It is the only means of salvation. The goal is to reach a state where thought is absent (stillnesss/ the ever-restless mind is subdued/subjugated ,and one is not moved by any form of allurement. (worldly pleasures)(not deluded by the plurality of form/materialism and dualisic distinctions of cognition )
Na'am is the essential aid in stilling the mind and purifying it of all impurities. This vital chord (primordial vibration) enables the spirit to transcend the physical plane and enter the higher spiritual planes where is the home of the Father/Beloved(Kingdom of God). Without Na'am all forms of worship anf religious practices are delusion.
Attuned within one can feel the vibration of Na'am permeating every pore of one's body! It reverberates within each one of us.(resounding in the temple of all living creatures). . Naam is the presence and power of God (wch can be heard) within!
Shabd is the connecting link between God and man..and reunites us to our Source. Shabd is eternal/I'mperishable and takes one beyond the confines of the body. Thereby. one loses all fear of death/dissolution. By merging with Shabd one attains eternal life. Shabd is an eternal call for our return home. It is our true Identity!
What is the effect of religiously listening to this sound? Of total absorption in this sound? How is this practice different from attending to the sense data accessed through any other sensory modality?
How do we interpret this sound? What meaning/value. do we ascribe to this sound/shabd?
Why have the meditation adepts (who achieve total immersion in the sound) attributed such positive meaning/value to this sound? Why is this sound worthy of reverence/worship?
It is the spiritual guide(priest/sage) who imbues this neutral sound with beauty,value, sacredness, indeed divinity (the highest significance).----a treasure of immense value and ultimate meaningfulness! Wch is the truth of who we are and ultimate reality!
Experiencing oneself as pure and perfect energy. dispels the illusion of materiality foisted upon us by our outwardly focused senses.
Meditating on shabd is an effective means of taming the unruly mind...and creating serenity and purity of mind
