Techniques of the Shabd Guru

[Guest guest]

Sodarshan Chakra Kriya (http://sahej.com//Sodarshan.html) is just one of

many tools that if practiced will bring us the "medicine of Naam".

Actually, the way we practice Kundalini Yoga (resonating truth with the

breath) makes it all a "technique of the 'Shabd Guru'."

In the Beginning (with a big B), there was the Word (with a big W) and

then there was the Light. The Word IS the Shabad Guru, the cosmic

Soundcurrent the holds, forms and sustains us all. The techniques of the

Shabad Guru are what came through to the Saints, Sages, Yogis and other

very Holy cats who knew how to "go there", how to trance and then come

back with the info so that others can follow the path to a Wholeness.

They were hunters, in a good sense. They went out and brought sustenance

for the people.

""We must consciously direct the consciousness of the mind. We

release the energy we need to excel and balance ourselves with an inner

technology that can alter the frequency of the mind and the state of the

brain. All the oscillations of the mind cease with the practice of the

Shabd and it gets pacified of itself (Sarang M: 3, Siri Guru Granth

Sahib, page 1233) Praise the God, O saints and friends! With steady,

complete concentration, wilh one-pointedness of the mind.(Siri Guru

Granth Sahib Page 295) Guru Nanak - the first Guru of the Sikhs,

immersed into the Shabd Guru, saw the pain of people everywhere. He

experienced the vast flood of information from the entire cosmic

consciousness. And he perfectly laid down patterns of the Shabd Guru

that commanded the brain and mind with rhythm, sound, concentration and

breath. The patterns of the Shabd Guru combine atoms of information in

the smallest sound units to release the inner energy of awareness needed

to guide the brain and mind through this wave of change. Just as

combining atoms has opened the way to use the greatest energy in matter,

the quantums of sound are the atoms that open the way to the greatest

inner energy of consciousness and command the chemistry of the brain.

Those Shabd patterns are a legacy to be used and shared with all as an

antidote to the maladies of the InfoDementia Syndromes. The Shabd Guru

technology is not just for the Sikhs but for everyone, for in every

human is the Light of the same Creator.""

Sat Nam Dharam,

 

I got to see a posting from you after a long time.

 

In one of my recent messages I had asked you about the techniques of the

'Shabd Guru'. Is this the same as the Sudarshan kryia.

 

Many blessings

Follow-up

 

My words are no replacement for reading the entire article

The link seems to keep changing so the best thing to do is to go to

http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/articles.nsf and click on

03/01/1995 SHABD GURU (Espanola, NM)

It should be the second link from the top.

Below is a sample.

Sat Nam,

Dharam Singh

 

The Quantum Technology and Impact of the Shabd Guru

 

The impact of the Shabd Guru comes from its masterful use of the

technology of sound and rhythm. It is a "quantum technology. " A

technology is the application of a science. The sound patterns of the

Shabd Guru are based on the science of sound. In the West this would

be the science of reflex to create changes in neurotransmitters to

command the state of the brain and mind. It is "quantum" because it

manipulates the smallest particles of sound and energy into effective

combinations and patterns. It uses the quantum patterns like seeds

that act as blueprints for constructing larger patterns. The atoms of

sound build the molecules of language, thought and mind.

 

In time we will unravel many of the mysteries of this complex

relationship of sound, brain, neuro-endocrinology,psychology and

behavior. We will elaborate an intellectual model of the entire

sequence of quantum sound technology. From the movement of the tongue

to its reflexes to the neuro-endocrine cascades to the change of

mental state, we are at the beginning of that study and modeling process.

 

The techniques of the Shabd Guru codified in the Siri Guru Granth

Sahib and in the mantras of Kundalini Yoga 23 24 wait for us to mine

their secrets. Every person can use them to elevate themselves, to

heal, to develop stamina, to increase intuition. They do not need to

know the science of the process. They only need to apply the

technology of the Shabd Guru.

 

Because the reflex points are stimulated by the movements of the

tongue, you get the maximum benefit from the pattern of a Shabd by

consciously repeating the sounds out loud. That is called Jappa

-conscious, conscientious recitation.Rotating the tongue over the 84

reflex points in the pattern of the Shabd produces the maximum impact

on the gross level of the neuro-endocrine system. As the Shabd gets

established in the nervous system and your subconscious, every cell of

your body will vibrate the pattern with you. That is called the state

of Ajappa Jap 25 - of repeating without repeating. In that ideal state

the resource released by the Shabd Guru is always available to you

regardless of the momentary focus of your attention on daily tasks. It

is the result of great devotion, much practice and mastery, or grace.

When that state is reached you still repeat the Shabd out loud, but

the dimensions of joy and awareness that accompany the practice are

without limit. You recite the Shabd in the beginning of the practice

of the Shabd Guru in order to clear

the mind, and attain an awareness. When you reach a stage of mastety,

you still recite the Shabd out loud because you have become the Shabd

and the Shabd has become you. There is a merger between the personal

experience of you and the impersonal experience of Infinity beyond you

and within you. 26 The core technique to precisely vocalize the Shabd

of the Shabd Guru is useful and true for the most novice beginner and

for the most exalted master. The repetition of the Sutras of the Shabd

Guru is a tool as timeless and unconditional as the Shabd Guru itself.

 

The ancient seers and the Gurus have left us maps and tools to guide

us into the territory we want to explore. They also give us the clear

warning not to confuse the maps for the actual territory. They implore

us to realize that no amount of study replaces the knowledge which

comes through experience.

Sat Nam Dharam,

As usual you bring your deep and broad knowlege to this list and I thank you

for that. It was extremely helpful to understand the Shabd Guru as presented

thru the sikhnet articles site. I must say it is changing the quality of my

daily practices and of the classes I give. I t is especially important for

those who are far away from the places where they can get recycling courses.

All the blessings to your heart. Sat Nam
