~~ Jaap Sahib..akaal Ustat Sahib ~~

[JagjeetST]

Jaap Sahib and Akaal Ustat are beautiful! It's so inspiring and touching with the way the chands flow together. I've listened to Akaal Ustat and try to read Jaap Sahib when I can. Am hoping to listen to the Katha of Giani Thakur Singh Jee about Jaap Sahib

Following on, I have been looking for katha on Sri Akaal Ustat Baani for a long time!

kam1825 jee or anyone else for that matter, have any sampardai maharpurkh/kathakaar done katha of this baani and is available anywhere online?

Thanks

Is there a pdf translation for akal ustat. Youtube requires constant pausing and playing to read.

I have to say. Akaal Ustat had a BIG impact on my understanding of Sikhi. My personal experience was that it is the biggest antidote to small minded, insularity that can easily become manifest when people follow faith in dogmatic ways.

It is quite a detailed narrative of Dasmesh Pita's perceptions of the creator Lord pervading throughout creation.

[N30S1NGH]

dalsingh101 ji, you are spot on. My favourite in sri dasam granth sahib is sri akaal ustat as well with jaap sahib.

May be i am reading into sri akaal ustat too much but its absolutely mind blowing how maharaj is cautioning his sikhs sometimes through indication(ishara) and sometimes bluntly to have your consciousness flow naturally. For eg, lets look at this very popular kabit from sri akaal ustat sahib..I be bolding some parts which repeatably in sri akaal ustat kabit over and again so we can may be do vichar on this:

Ok lets look at the state within hindu/snatan orders when sri guru gobind singh maharaj recited sri akaal ustat to caution them as well to sikhs:

There are main orders in hindu dharam- viashav thought (Sargun bhakti devotion towards avtars/saints etc) and Sankarcharaya order( Nirgun/gyan/exploring atma within)

Some misguided followers of these orders still to this day fight/argue among themselves- vaishavs thinks their order is superior as sargun bhakti is superior than nirgun. Followers of sankarcharya orders think their order is superior- nirgun bhakti is higher and they consider sargun bhakti inferior to nirgun.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj comes along, gives them reality check slaps to both of them along - says wait a minute you guys are both missing the point here, missing the boat here and give updesh to them as well sikhs. Vahiguroo is both sargun and nirgun, sometimes he is with attributes, sometimes he is without...maharaj is indicating vahiguroo consciousness is flow that sometimes vahiguroo is awakened and sochet (self aware/consciouness) sometimes in samadh (achet) sleepless unconsciouness (sun samadh). So keeping that mind devotee be it sikh or hindu cannot and should not affixate/attached vahiguroo ji to only in sargun nor only in nirgun when you perceiving Vahiguroo It's both sargun and nirgun intertwined with each other, its one . one. If one tries to affixaite/attached or capture on flow of vahiguroo and start idolizing around either sargun or nirgun that itself becomes an road block towards becoming one with the flow. Now with that being said, as begineer one must affixate on one aspect of vahiguroo (thats understandable) to transcendent higher (be it sargun or shabad) but during slightly higher stage- one must let consciousness naturally flow than robotic attempts to force affixate/attach on one aspect as that itself becomes roadblock later on only Guru Maharaj /bhramgyanis can break - remember he is the one who makes idols in one's head/mindset and he himself is the one will break it to take you higher..thats leela of maharaj..Vahiguroo .!!!

Khalsa is higher than purpose of these orders-vaishavas- based on entirely sargun bhakti/based on kirpa- bhagti and adi sankarcharya- entirely nirgun gyan based on self kirpa-exploring atma in one self, contemplating on it etc.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj have combined/blended - bhagti aspect (sargun bhagti/shabad surat Naam- Gur Ki Murat Man Mein Dhyaan Gur ka shabad mantar mann maan ||.), gyan aspect ( Man tu jot saroop hai apna mool painchain ||, jiv/bhram ekta/atma-paratma oneness) in his Khalsa so we don't pit falls like many hindus did surronding whole discussion/arguments of if sargun devotion is higher or nirgun devotion is higher as in essence - sargun (bhagti) and nirgun(gyan) are not separated in sikhi but are blended in one..!!!!

For Khalsa/bhramgyani sargun and nirgun are one!!!!!!!!!!

Gurmat speaks to every Human consciousness, its full and complete answer to one's spiritual Journey. If human consciousness gets fully connected with Gurmat, its constant never ending flow, cycle of sargun and nirgun which folds from sargun to nirgun then unfold itself back from nirgun to sargun until one's consciousness becomes-

~~ Ek(One) Advait(Non dual) Sat(Truth) Chit( Supreme Consciousness) Anand Svaroop (Supreme Bliss) Vahiguroo ~~
