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

It seems impossible but in the form of light it does because light is not only wave but particle also. Now energy is conserved but when it changes its form the change in waves are likely to occur. For example, the electric and magnetic energy have different wave theories. The waves and vibration of electricity can produce magnetic energy and on the other hand, the magnetic field is capable of changing both direction and quantity of electricity.


What is common between light and electromagnetic propagation, well it is that the light is both electric and magnetic. The electrons are particle but the magnet is like wave. The Gurbani says that the word can magnetize anything uplifting the currents in the body, namely positive, negative and the neutral, also known as the Pingla, Ida and the Sukhmna.


There are four major ages, namely, Satyuga, Tretta, Dwapura and Kaliyuga. It is a descending order in which the vital energy lowers from vital fluids and air (Prana), to bones, to blood and finally at Annmayi Kosh or the food level in the Kaliyuga. So in this age, the pollution of foods is the most serious factor as from it our thoughts, feelings and actions get the direction.

The global use of medicines is one of the most common practices to nullify the polluted effects of the food. The body at physical level needs balanced food, at emotional level the enjoyment of art, at mental level the practice of systematic knowledge like Science and Math. You see at philosophical level, we need to understand that the time spent with the self or personal time and shared wisdom of great people, at spiritual level it needs the singleness of thought (idea), feeling, and action.


At divine level, it needs the self-exaltation, the essence of art of ascendancy to dwell in single sphere of Spirit as if a pot in the water does. It appears to be very much clear in the fundamental principles as simplified in the following:


In Gurbani, the Art of Ascendancy for the evolution of the soul is based on some principles; the most important of which are the following three:

1. Learning and earning by self (Kirt Karna)

2. Obeying the Divine Path according to Gurbani ( Naam Japna)

3. Sharing the possessions with others to practice the teachings of the Gurbani ( Vand Chhakna)


We will discus it as an Art of Ascendancy, the Chardi Kala for the spiritual gift of Eternal Hope.
