Siri Guru Granth Sahib?

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

Does anybody know what the reference to the color crimson is

symbolic of in lines such as..." through the True Guru I am dyed a

deep crimson" ???

 

I hear the reference to crimson used alot, as I take daily Hukams,

and am wondering what that is refering to?

 

I was thinking maybe it was a reference to being reborn?? Coming

from the womb that bleeds a deep crimson?? That's the thought I was

having.

 

Any other insights?

Sat Nam,

Crimson is the primal color, the color of flame. Of blood, so yes to being

reborn (primitive warrior tribes have painted their skins with menstrual blood,

and if you write something in your own blood it is given a very special status).

Pulling so intensely for the divine that you're just burning, or bleeding. If

you are dyed, you have been steeped in something transformative that will last

and deeply affect you forever.

Is E

The reference to crimson is both poetic and not. Poetic in the sense

that your very blood flows with the spirit of Naam. But it also

refers to the realm of trikuti, or brahmadn, which is experienced as

the deep crimson colour of the sun on the horizon. This is the

casual realm, filled with ecstacy, the last vestiges of the mind

where it is truley dyed with the colour of the soul. Bhuddists call

that the mind of red increase. Guru Gobind Singh said you couldn't

be Khalsa unless you understand and had gone to trikuti so it is no

wonder the SGGS is full of references like that.
