Which Bij are you Budgin' ?

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam, Siri Devta Kaur --

Going back to the beginning, because I don't see where this thread

began in time -- Whoever said there was more than One Bij Mantra?

 

Second question, Why would you want or need more than one? Bij means

" seed. " What are you trying to grow? (more than one crop?). What is

the " harvest " ?

 

Is " Sat Nam " the Bij Mantra that you DO know? Guru Nanak said, " Bij

Mantra Sarb Ko Gian, Sat Nam. " Which means literally, " All the wisdom

of the universe is contained in the 5 sounds of Sa Ta Na Ma. " If

literally everything can be developed out of something so simple,

ISN'T THAT ENOUGH? Guru Nanak also said, " I would like to touch the

feet of anyone who inspires another to say " Sat Nam, " even by accident. "

 

Sa Ta Na Ma is the inherent structure of the four phases of universal

life (Na-Ture). Household Cul-Ture also has 4 nodes and phases:

Economy, Ecology, Formal Society and Intimacy. What is happening now,

in our time that we've been taught and prepared for, is that Cul-Ture

is advancing " one click " on the wheel of Na-Ture. And Ecology is the

two-edged sword. Ecology (and global warming) are going to (either)

dissolve or destroy capitalism (whichever comes first), AND living in

harmony, Eco-Logically, within our mind-bodies and within the world of

nature, is going to Germinate and Generate a new Aquarian culture. So

this two-edged sword of ecological nature will both destroy and

create. And this only became clear to me through the Bij Mantra of

Sat Nam.

 

So I'm wondering, you must know something that I don't know. What is

it that you want to learn from this other Bij Mantra. Let's figure

and find it out together, because if so much can come from just one

Bij Mantra, there must be much, much more in this other Bij Mantra.

 

Please Help,

Krishna Singh

Sat Nam Krishna Singh,

 

Well, the short of it is that I am preparing for my final exam in Teacher

Training Level 1 and one question asks to list 3 Bij and 3 Ashtangs

mantras, and in our manuals and in the many sources I have consulted

it only lists Sat Nam. I was told that the other 2 are Ek Ong Kar and

Wahe Guru.

 

So, who said it? The writer of exam. Who SAID it? Well that's another

question. It wasn't pulled out of thin air. I could imagine the Infinite

must have provided for more then one seed to fulfill all our spiritual

nutritional needs. Variety? I would need to meditate on each to see

what I could personally learn from them. I intuitively feel Truth, Ecstasy

and Unity contained in each of them. As Siri Singh Sahibji puts it, Guru

Nanak wrote Japji to explain Mul Mantra, and Mul Mantra to explain Ek

Ong Kar. Interesting to me is that all 3 Bij mantras are in the Ashtang

Mantra, plus Siri.

 

So what does it all mean? I can only answer from my experience, which

is that I love all three. I find balance, peace and joy. My TT class

recently did 2 ½ hours of long Ek Ong Kar the experience was so

different from years past when I have done it in Sadhana for different

Gurpurbs, or Siri Singh Sahibji's birthday. It was bliss. Okay, to be

honest, first it was emotional, then it was a few other things, then it was

sweet sweet bliss. Maybe it was learning for the first time how to set

myself, being more aware… TT level one is truly transformational, and

the group I have been studying with, each and every one is

extraordinary in a beautifully unique way. There was a sense of really

wanting to do it together. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

 

Is that enough? I don't know. I do know that some mantras just

resonate so deeply, I want to listen to them all day every day. And then

there are some that I could use a break from. Which mantras fit into

which category changes from time to time. So do you need 3? I am still

a student and differ to my teachers and the textbook written under the

Master, which says there are 3 and I would say that that means we

must need all 3.

 

God Bless you, and thank you for being a part of the journey
