[SAINT AND SOLDIER]

How Is Our Body Formed In The Mother's Womb And What Role Does The
Paon(the Vital Life-breath) Play In It?

In The Mother's Womb,the Human Body Is Formed In Four Systematic
Stages Or Khands(regions)--dharam Khand,gyaan Khand, Saram Khand And
Karam Khand.in Japuji Sahib,guru Nanak Dev Describes Four Khands In
Detail:

Dharam Khand Kaa Eho Dharam
Gyaan Khand Ka Aakhah Karam
Kete Pawan Paanee Baisantar Kete Kaan Mahesh
Kete Barhme Ghaarat Ghareah Roop Rang Ke Ves
Keteeaa Karam Bhoomee Mer Kete Kete Dhoo Updes
Kete Ind Chand Soor Kete Kete Mandal Des
Kete Sidh Buddh Naath Kete Kete Devee Ves
Kete Dev Danav Mun Kete Kete Ratan Samund
Ketiaa Surtee Sewak Kete Naanak Ant Na Ant
Gyaan Khand Mah Gyaan Parchand
Tithai Naad Binod Kod Anand
Saram Khand Kee Baani Roop
Tithai Ghaarat Ghareeai Bahut Anoop
Ta Keea Galla Katheea Na Jahee
Je Ko Kahai Pichhai Pachhtaae
Tithai Ghareeai Surat Matt Man Budh
Tithai Ghareeai Suraa Sidhaa Kee Sudh( Page 7)

Gurbani Explains And Illustrates This With Examples From The Gross
Physical World.the River Waters Of The Ganges, Jamuna And Saraswati
Have Their Confluence At Allahabad. Like The Current Of Their Flowing
Waters,a Connecting Current Of Vital Air Has Been Established Within
Our Body At The Navel Axis. This Vital Air Flows Through Two Subtle
Channels Located On Either Side Of Human Spine And One Within The
Spine.these Channels Are Called Ida , Pingula , And Sukhmana. At Many
Places In Gurbani These Have Been Called The Ganges,jamuna And
Saraswati.when The Vital Air Enters These,it Is Cold And Is Called
Chand(moon).the Vital Air Is Hot When Leaving These Channels And Is
Called Suraj (the Sun).

The Ida,pingula And Sukhmana Have Their Confluence At A Point On Our
Lower Forehead Between The Two Eyes.this Point Is Called Trikuti(the
Confluenceof The Three).here The Sukhmana Gets Closed. The Flow Of
The Vital Air Becomes Uneven.sometimes The Flow Is More Through Ida
And Sometimes It Is More Through The Pingula.because Of This Uneven
Flow It Is Called Bikham Nadee( The Terrible, Turbulent Stream)
Because Of The Disturbed Equilibrium All Previous Memories Are
Lost.the Confluence Of Ida And Pingula Is Called Prayag(the Holy
Place Of Pilgrimage);hence, It Is Also Called Teerath.the Shabad (
The Holy Word) Becomes Manifested Here.it Is Called The Divine Light
Or The Holy Naam. Because Of The Manifesting Shabad, This Place Of
Pilgrimage I Called Amritsar(the Pool Of Nectar)in Gurbani.next To It
Is The Hari Mandir Also Called Gurudwara. Day And Night The Unstruck
Melody (the Anahat Naad)reverberates Here At The Time Of Birth Our
Connection With Dharan (the Umbilicus)gets Severed.at That Time The
Nine Doors Open And The Sukhmana Gets Closed.the Distance Between
Where The Sukhmana Gets Closed Between The Two Eyes And The Dharan
(umbilicus)is Called Bhavsagar (the Terrible World Ocean).this World
Ocean Has To Be Crossed Through Shabad Surat Practice(attuning Of
Consciousness With The Sound Current Of Gurumantra).the Vital Air
Helps In Connecting The Two Shores Of The Bhavsagar.
