SAKHEE MAHAAPAD KEREE VAAT PEER SADARDEEN sakhee mahaapad keree vaat, koik jaannere jene satgur meeleeyaa saar, sohee peechhaannere...................1 O beloved ones (or friends), only very few people know about the mysteries of the Exalted State (or High Level, or 'Maarifati State'). Only those who have attained the recognition of the True Guide (in His essence) have in truth known about it. sakhee naabh kamall ghatt maa(n)he ke soha(n)g ootthere tee-aa(n) jaap jape chhe ha(n)s ke taar na tutte re...............2 O beloved ones (or friends), (In this state) breath ('soha(n)g') arises from the lotus like navel and the soul(ha(n)s) recites the 'Word'(Isme - azam or the name of the Lord), without breaking the string('taar'), i.e. without breaking the rhythm. sakhee i(n)galaa pi(n)galaa saar ke sukhmannaa naaddee re tee-aa(n) cha(n)ddhr suraj malee be ke manchhaa(man-ichhaa) maaree re................................................................3 O beloved ones, (In this state), Inglaa, Pinglaa and Sukhmana nerves or force channels get so activated that you feel that the 'sun' (universal mind, divine intellect, supra consciousness) and the 'moon' (human mind, ego) have become one or joined together and all the mental desires are destroyed or have disappeared. [This experience signifies the end of the lower life and the beginning of a higher one]. sakhee travennee ghatt maa(n)he ke akha(n)dd jyotire tee-aa(n) zagmag zagmag thaay ke varase moteere...................4 O beloved ones, (In this state), when the mind is activated by (the three nerves) 'travennee', it experiences the 'Eternal Light' (non perishable or non extinguishable light - 'akha(n)dd' jyot). It dazzles like the shower of pearls. sakhee va(n)kh naadd mukaam ke saachore kahee-e re tee-aa(n) neerat surat malee be ke paracho laiye re...............5 va(n)kh naadd mukaam - curved home of nerves or force channels paracho - marvel, miracle surat - consciousness, thought neerat - love O beloved ones, consider the 'nerve curvature', the place between the two eyes as the true place. It is there that the two eyes should meet and remain steady or where the consciousness and love should be focussed and where the miracles and wonders are experienced. sakhee ettalaa sarve nishaan melyaa neechore bhaai tethee u(n)chaare desh ke chaddavaa unchaare................6 All the experiences above are to be discarded and not to be given too much significance as the real destiny of the soul is even higher. [All the mystical experiences that are elluded to in these verses are only tentative, as an indication of the extra sensory experience. However these may not occur in all cases as the final destiny is even higher and therefore these may confuse some aspirants about the final experience. People have managed to get the higher and ultimate experience without these experiences.] sakhee paa(n)ch kosh par dhaam ke nishaan dhaaree re tee-aa(n) dharee surat nu(n) dhyaan swaaso maaree re..............7 O beloved one, your final abode is enveloped by five sheaths (kosh) between your body and the ultimate. It is there that you should focus your concentration and breath. [The five sheaths that screen the ultimate reality from the normal experience are: 1) ana(n)damaya kosha - the heart, chitta, the spiritualised atom, in which ahamkara (the idea of separate existence of self) appears. It is composed of the four ideas 'om' (the Word), 'kala' (Time), 'desaa' (Space) and 'anu' (the Atom) and it feels and enjoys and thus is the seat of bliss, 'ana(n)d'. 2) jnaanaamaya koshaa - budhi, the seat of knowledge, 'jnaanaa'. It is of electro - magnetic influences, the manifestation of the higher mind (the budhi), which determines what is the truth. 3) manomaya koshaa - the third is the body of manas, the lower mind, composed of the organs of senses. 4) pranaa maya koshaa - the fourth is the body of energy, life force or praanaa, composed of organs of action. 5) annamaya koshaa - the fifth and last of these is gross matter, the Atom's outer coating, which becoming Anna, nourishment, supports this visible world. sakhee saghallaa rome rom ke laagyaa japvaare tyaare saghallaa ghattnaa chor ke laagyaa chhupvaare..............8 O beloved one, (In this state), every pore in your body will vibrate with the 'Word' (jaap) and all the robbers of the mind (evil thoughts and desires) will start disappearing. sakhee tee-aa(n) pee(n)dd tannee khabar ke saghallee visaree re jyaare suratee chaddee bhrahama(n)dd ke futtee nisaree re.........9 O beloved one, (in this state), all the discomforts of the body get forgotten when the mind breaks through the ordinary consciousness and reaches the state of "Brahma" (Supra-consciousness or Hakikati State). sakhee arasparas naa kott joyaa neesaree re evaa sapt dip nav khand ke joyaa parakhee re.....................10 O beloved ones, (In this state), I have observed having gone to that state, marble forts and palaces. I have also seen and verified for myself, the seven islands and the nine continents (the entire world) in the experience. sakhee ved kitaab maa(n)he ke e gam naahee re tee-aa(n) nahee divas nahee raat ke dhup na chhaa(n)i re.........11 O beloved ones, the description or the experience is not given in the vedas (scriptures) or in any books because in this state there is neither day nor night nor sun nor shade. (In other words this experience is beyond intellect and hence undescribable.) sakhee kahevaa sareekho nathee ke maaro saamee jee re eto jovaa sareekho chhe alakh anaamee re.........................12 O beloved ones, my Lord (attained through this experience) does not bear any telling (as He is undescribable) and He is nameless. He can only be seen or experienced. sakhee alakh anaamee saaheb laagyaa mitthaa re bhanne peer sadardeen shaah, me najare deetthaa re...............13 O beloved ones, this nameless and indescriptible Lord was felt to be very sweet to me. Peer Sadardeen teaches this ginaan and says: "I have seen the Lord with my own eyes".
