No earrings, no ashes, no walking sticks, no postures, no horns, no yogi masters. Guru tells us that the Word of the Shabad is the path to see the one true Lord, a path to the place where there is no fear, where peace is food, and contemplation of this lord is his staff and support. Love of the Name of the Lord is the yogic lifestyle that he attains, and when he attains it, the bonds of Maya are cut away. The Word of the Shabad, the unstruck sound current, the Love of the Name of the Lord and I have enshrined the One Formless Lord within my being. ||1||
Aad0002 Ji,
What a wonderful open declaration about Yog that is mistaken by some otherwise, I am left with no more illusions about it, Guru Message is so crysteal clear. It is the poison to counter not any other technique, that is why the one who shatters away bonds of Maya is worthy of worshipping in this context. Guru ji also explicitly tells about a way of shattering the bonds of Maya. This fact has elevated me so high that I am unable to acknowledge other hear say, I adore the following Guru Vaak
ਐਸਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਭੇਟੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਕੇ ਬੰਧਨ ਕਾਟੈ ॥
aisaa jogee vaddabhaagee bhaettai maaeiaa kae bandhhan kaattai ||
By great good fortune, such a Yogi is met, who cuts away the bonds of Maya.
ਸੇਵਾ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਉ ਤਿਸੁ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਕੀ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਪਗ ਚਾਟੈ ॥੫॥੧੧॥੧੩੨॥
saevaa pooj karo this moorath kee naanak this pag chaattai ||5||11||132||
Nanak serves and adores this wondrous person, and kisses his feet. ||5||11||132||
ਪੰਚ ਚੇਲੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਭਏ ਇਕਤ੍ਰਾ ਏਕਸੁ ਕੈ ਵਸਿ ਕੀਏ ॥
panch chaelae mil bheae eikathraa eaekas kai vas keeeae ||
I have brought the five disciples together, and they are now under the control of the one mind.
ਦਸ ਬੈਰਾਗਨਿ ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ਤਬ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਜੋਗੀ ਥੀਏ ॥੨॥
dhas bairaagan aagiaakaaree thab niramal jogee thheeeae ||2||
When the ten hermits become obedient to the Lord, then I became an immaculate Yogi. ||2||

The True Guru has revealed it to me through the Word of the Shabad. ||1||Pause||
[/FONT]ਨਉ ਖੰਡ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੀ ਇਸੁ ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਰਵਿਆ ਨਿਮਖ ਨਿਮਖ ਨਮਸਕਾਰਾ ॥
no khandd prithhamee eis than mehi raviaa nimakh nimakh namasakaaraa ||
[/FONT]HE is in the nine continents of the world, and He is within this body; nothing is without HIS presence; mystery is not mystery [/FONT]any more since Guru has pointed out to HIM very clearly. Only is left our preparation to live Guru Shabad; each and every moment, I humbly bow to Him.
See how nine continents absorb within, it is indication of His presence, I sacrifice to Guru and love Guru who points out for what my soul longs even though bonds of Maya are not totally crushed. Thanks for quoting guru Vaakas
