When one can 'hear' that special sound of the shabad, then you know that dasam duar is there !!
Long live, Jimmy Hendrix!!!

I'm glad that you noticed the humour in my comment !!!
Findingmyway has pointed in the right way to associate it with the 'brain' as well !!
From what I can gather, this is some part of us that is associated with neurochemical processes of the brain.
When you can align this with your God focused consciousness, only then can you experience the true essence!
This is what the religious scholars are actually referring to.
As one can still have dasam duar (activation) and be totally self absorbed atheist,agnostic..etc...
There are many people who have experienced these neurochemical processes without any association with God-consciousness.-YES, the example of Hendrix, Lennon..etc. using recreational drugs to get this.
FACT(I have gathered after researching many different sources)
- the same mystical sounds you can hear via dasam duar, can also be heard when you are on a trip of pure acid or LSD !!
Also note, that purer forms of LSD are rarely experienced with users after the late 80's. So the one's used in the hippy days were the ultimate experience. Therefore, there is no point in our younger readers to try and bother experimenting with nowaday street acid(lsd) !
Infact, this was one of the reasons why Lennon was interested in yoga and meditation, since he was realising that one should be able to tap into these same areas of the brain without any drugs !
Have you ever wondered what the ringing of bells and drums is all about in the white hippy hari krishna movements ?
All the recognition that your consciousness experiences is associated with memory and conditioning that comes via the brain !
I do also believe that your consciousness can be an entity on it's own and can exist completey away from the brain, but all it's experiences are still associated with memory!!
This is one important aspect that no one can actually define properly!
The mistake a lot of us sikhs make is understanding what gurbani and gurus talked about when discussing dasam duar.
We have to remember the 10th gate term was already coined by the siddhs and yogis, but the gurus took it to a different level.
There is no point in doing just physical yoga or taking acid trips to activate dasam duar if there is no God consciousness within one's self.
-This is where most of us don't seem to get the message !!
Alot of the heavy meditators know that their 10th gate is open from colours/sounds/visions..etc.. but if they don't have any 'DHIAN" on God, then there is NO Gurmat Gyan either.
Since a person that meditates very deeply doesn't mean that they are a God or waheguru bhagti.
Because meditation does not mean simran.
Simran= Meditation with Waheguru 'DHIAN'
It really is that simple !!
I have not experienced the Dasam Dwar & i personally feel it's in the hand of Waheguru whom to honour this situation.
But i feel, any who experiences this can't tell it's conditions so confidently as been told by Bhagat Singh Ji above.
Sant Ravidas Ji Says - "Jab Hum Hote Tab Tu Nahi ... Ab Tuhi Mein Nahi". It's a very powerful thing said by Sant Ji. Before the opening of Dasam Dwar it's all me...me...and me ... but post opening it's allll YOU ..... YOU & YOU ...
Your whole attitude and perspective on life changes.
There is also a lot of confusion and overlapping with the terms of 3rd eye/dasam duar and kundalini.
My own interpretation is that firstly the 3rd eye is the beginning and awareness stage.
Then I see kundalini as the ''knot'' between Maya and Mind, when you undo this knot then you begin to 'disassociate' with maya.
(NOTE- Kundalini is also represented as a serpent in many texts and important is the serpent in Adam and Eve mythology, which is about the awakening of this maya-mind knot!!!)
Then the dasam duar is the real goal/doorway to open by his grace!
My own interpretation from my own experience !!
seems to be occuring in this order for me also
note for other seekers... remove all expectation of experiences, go with the flow...sit in the boat of the guru, and let the will of God guide you...just be witness to it all and nothing more...be greatful if any experience occurs and greatful if nothing seems to occur...remove ego, and surrender it all to God.
God bless.
god bless.
This is just one of the stages in avastha and how it plays practically in every day life.
I'm pretty certain that Chazji has attained this as well.
The worrying thing is that everyone around you can begin to worry that something is wrong with you!!!
They feel that you have lost it a little since losing your wallet with your weeks wage worth doesn't get you so annoyed or frustrated !!
BUT- you have never felt better and in more control!
Infact, you look back and think how lost you really were before.
It was Never you as you thought, but it was always HIM.
There is NO 'you','me','them' 'I'..etc.. it is ALL HIM.
i dont think it happens a lot maybe to 1 or 2 blessed ones out of billions over centuries, thats my view, just jap naam and leave it to guru ji, he knows whats best for us.

I do not buy into what either Chazji or Luckyji describe, but that is more my failing than a reflection on them, however, I think we can take it that at least 2 people are well on the way, and that is just on this forum, so I think you possibly may be mistaken.
As for naam japping and leaving it to Guru ji, this is not the essence of Sikhism, Sikhism is a proactive religion, we make the changes ourselves, we follow Hukam and we live the life that was intended for us to live. This requires discipline, intelligence, understanding. Simply hiding away and mumbling words and hoping for the best is not what Sikhism is about.
I have not posted on this thread as I have no interest in the tenth gate.
God, in my view, is not sitting up in heaven making notes and judging all of us, this is not a test, we will not die and be judged, there is no judgement day, these are all Abrahamic concepts. Creation judges us, and Creation has more respect for actions than word repetition.
satt;180876]but as far as mumbling words is concerned, if you call waheguru jaap mumblimg words then thats up to you and leaving it to Guru ji well he is the final judge or have you become that too!
If He is all that truely exists...he obviously felt He needed to experience complete seperateness to himself via the Ego, in order to realise himself.
like being born in light, and then being sent to live in darkness, so that you can appreciate, understand, learn more and be aware more of the light.
we return home, knowing more about God, appreciation, understanding, awareness and oneness with Him...than we could ever have experienced if we didnt come into this experience of duality.

Satt ji,
Guru Fateh.
Can you please elaborate what "Waheguru Jaap" means? Please use Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru as your guide.
When you say,"he is the final judge ", who is HE and this sounds like a deity which Sikhi does not have? Please elaborate this as well with the help of Gurbani.
Is parroting words for hours part of Sikhi?
If it is, then many other people from different religions also parrot, a mechanical ritual of repetition and use different words. Are they all wrong?
Thanks & regards
