The Art of Ascendancy-Chardi Kala as described in the Sikhism and Interfaith-VI

You see as in many instruments, one thing is common and that is the music, it is due to harmony, rhythm and balance of all instruments in a special way, the classic way. Otherwise is it a noise produced by each instrument though fully capable of producing Music.

We, as seeker do talk about the divine or transcendental music and in a way make noise in the name of Anahad Nada while being disharmonious, out of biorhythm and unbalanced way of what we do and say and say and do.

The ego that can produce the dreams with virtually real things can do anything like Anahad Nada at sub-conscious level making it sure that one enjoys it like a dream. This is descending not Art of Ascending. In the heart, one can sing perfectly but on the stage or in real cannot sing.

This singing in the heart is though much better but like a flower in the jungle that cannot seen by anybody. The flower without smell does not lose its identity; its fragrance is lost. Searching for that fragrance of divine wisdom is the research, it is not study, which is, simply learning about it.

Otherwise, the Anahad Naad (Nada), is by its own existence in all, going on ever in tune with the single frame of reference, the Supreme Conscious, possessing the absolute harmony, rhythm and balance of oneness in diversification. The Gurbani simplifies this concept of divine music to such an extent that a seeker never gets lost…when it says that He Himself is present in the congregation and the place where Kirtan is sung that is His very Abode.

Even more is that He is present whoever His is remembered through Gurbani and by His Name. What more is required when He is present in His name and Kirtan. All the things that work in miraculous or wonderful way are His possessions, even the Abode.

A seeker who seeks the Heaven or His Abode, but not Him may never feel His presence, though enjoying all that is available in the heaven or Abode. Seeking Him is the highest; the possessions come just by His being present. According to the Gurbani, the true seeker seeks neither Kingdom nor the Salvation; the sole desire is to obey His Will by taking refuge in His present Word.

The Word is not conceived without His Creative Power in the form of Maya with which the creation is created. Just sitting near the feet is not surrender, it is accepting that the feet carry all the body to do anything and everything. Thanks!
