खुले कपाट शब्द झनकारी, पिंड अंडके पार सो देश हमारा है।।32।।
(End of extract from Kabir shabdavli)
Shabd (hymn): - “Kar nainon deedaar mahal mein pyaara hai” –
In this shabad Sahib Kabir has given complete description of Kaal’s web. Consider the material body (a man made up of five elements) as a television. There are channels in it.
Trikuti Kamal (lotus) has two petals (of black and white colour). Consider it an airport, an aerodrome. Wherever one has to go from there, that very aeroplane will be available there. Because all saints proceed from here only to their further paths. There, God (God, whom the devotee worships) comes in the form of the guru (Shabd swaroopi Guru or call him Shabd Guru), and takes His hans (devout soul) along with Him to His personal place (lok). Nijman (ParBrahm) (the real mind, Purna Brahm) lives here. He does not let any kind of deceit happen with the living being. Like, before going to the airport, passport, whichever country one has to go to, that country’s visa and ticket are obtained in advance. On reaching there, immediately one is made to sit in that very aeroplane. Whichever God’s lok one has done preparations to go to, by doing sumiran of naam after making a guru, from trikuti he goes to the same lok with his Shabd Guru. Beyond this lies Sahansrar kamal and Jyoti (light) is visible there. The worshippers of Brahm, on seeing this light, consider it to be their good fortune. Information only upto this is the experience of Rishi Patanjali Yog Darshan, and other yogis. There is no knowledge beyond this in any of the established scriptures. This is Kaal’s first web.
Those devout souls who have found a Complete Satguru, they have taken Satnaam after listening to the spiritual discourse (satsang). They have understood this Kaal’s web and have started reciting naam.
Kaal’s second web is that he has faked {has made a duplicate copy of} all these creations of Purna Brahm: Satlok, Alakh lok, Agam lok, and Anami lok. He has made fake shabds. There is a way to hear them. After closing eyes, ears, and mouth with fingers of hands, then concentrate on ears. There is an insect, jhanga, which produces a jheen-jheen sound. A similar sound is heard. It is known as Anhad jheenga shabd; hear this.
Second way of worship – press the eyeballs (under the eyelids) of both the eyes. Various kinds of lights (fireworks) will be seen in them.
Then has described the third sadhna – collect the cold breath, moon (breath from left nostril), and sun (soor), warm breath (breath from right nostril) and enter sushmna. This is a method of doing breathing-exercise (Pranayam). Then go ahead to trivaini. All these are created by Kaal. When worshippers go to trivaini, there are three paths there. On the right-hand side, there is a lotus (kamal) with sahansrar (one-thousand) petals. That is Kaal’s (Jyoti Niranjan’s) Mahaswarg (Great-Heaven). One will hear sounds of a bell and conch shell there, and then sparkling lights will be seen. There, the doer (Kaal) lives in an unmanifested form; this is what the devotees believe, but in reality, he is in form in the form of Mahabrahma, Mahavishnu, and Mahashiv. On the right-hand side, there have been twelve bhakts of Kaal (Brahm). They live there in peace. They have no fear of death until the great destruction (Mahapralay). But they will die in the Mahapralay. When Kaal will again create nature, then they will go in the 84-lakh births to bear the hardships of karm (actions). When this worshipper moves towards Brahmrandra, then a whole army of Yam doots (messengers of Yam, the God of death) and demonesses of terribly horrifying images is present there. That army of Kaal can neither be conquered by ‘Om’ naam, nor by Kiliyam’, nor by Hariyam', nor by SohM, nor by Jyoti Niranjan-Rarankar-Omkaar-SohM-Shakti (Shriyam'), nor by Radhaswami, nor by Akaal moort-Shabd Swaroopi Ram or SatPurush, or by any other arbitrary naams. This is only possible after obtaining updesh from a Complete Saint, and on doing sumiran of Satnaam, Sachcha naam (Om-SohM) through breath, which strikes them like arrows. Consequently, they run away. The path becomes clear; Brahmrandra opens up, and the worshipper, on seeing the actual form of Kaal (where he lives in a Viraat form), stepping over his head enters the eleventh gate [which Kaal has kept shut by his head. By the influence of Satguru’s Satyanaam and Saarnaam, Kaal’s head itself bends down and that door opens up. Thus, this hans enters the ParBrahm’s lok]. There is no influence of Kaal’s Maya there. After that sumiran of only ‘SohM’ shabd and Saarnaam starts automatically. Om’s jaap is not uttered. Because the subtle body (sukshm shareer) is left behind i.e. the earnings of ‘Om’ mantra are left with Brahm (Kaal). Kaaran and Mahakaaran also finish with the sumiran of Saarnaam (which starts only by surat-nirat). At that time, only ‘Kaivalya’ shareer (body) is left. At that time, a living being’s state is similar to the light of 10 suns; he becomes this much effulgent. Satguru asks there, “Oh Hans soul! Have you got any attachment to any living being, thing, or wealth? If yes, then you will have to return to Kaal lok.” But at that time, this embodied soul has crossed the whole web of Kaal. The soul does not agree to return. Then he says, “No Satguru Ji, now I will not go to that hell.” Then, Satguru gives bath to that hans (soul) in nectar Maansarover. At that time, that hans’s (soul’s) kaivalya shareer and all other covers end, and the soul appears in aatm-tattav (self-element). This Maansarover is present in the vacuum place between ParBrahm’s lok and Satlok from where the Bhanvar gufa (cave) commences. At that time, the appearance of this soul becomes as effulgent as sixteen suns, and after crossing the twelfth gate and entering Satlok, enjoys the bliss of Purna Brahm forever. This is complete liberation/salvation.
This soul, even by mistake, does not ever return to Kaal’s web. Like, if a child’s hand gets burnt in fire, then he never goes near fire. He does not even try to touch it.
In no. 14, Sahib Kabir is telling that this world is hanging upside down. Like, a well is filled with nectar; likewise, the Supreme God’s bliss is present in this body. It is beyond the tenth gate, which is the sushmna gate in this body with an opening below. He who passes through sushmna, only that devotee enjoys the benefit. This sadhna is formed by acquiring a Guru and naam.
In no. 15, Satguru Kabir Sahib Ji is disclosing the secret that when a worshipper of Kaal does jaap of ‘Om’ naam considering God as Nirgun (without material qualities) after acquiring a guru, then Kaal himself comes in the form (fake shabd-like form) of that worshipper’s guru and takes him to Mahaswarg (MahaIndra lok/Great heaven). When they approach the Mahaindra lok, then a horrifying sound like a violent thunder of clouds occurs. A worshipper who becomes frightened, returns to the 84-lakh births, and he, who does not become frightened, moves ahead with his guru. He then hears a pleasant drum playing there. There is one more red-coloured, four-petalled lotus in Mahaswarg from which ‘Omkaar’ sound is being produced.
The meaning of no. 16 is that he is a saint, who opens the lock put by Kaal on the tenth gate with the key of Satnaam, and also opening the eleventh gate ahead, which Kaal has kept shut after creating the fake Satlok etc in the twenty-first brahmand beyond the twenty brahmands, enters the ParBrahm’s (Akshar Brahm) lok. Because nine gates (two nostrils, two ears, two eyes, mouth, anus, genital opening – these nine) are visible. There is a lock on the tenth gate (which comes after sushmna opens), and the eleventh gate has been built at the entrance of ParBrahm’s lok where God Kaal himself is sitting in physical form.
No. 17 – there is white vacuum place ahead (which Kaal God has faked). There he has created a fake Maansarover, and those, who are nirgun worshippers of Brahm, after giving bath to them in this sarover (lake), he sends them to fake ParBrahm’s lok which he has created in Mahaswarg. They disappear from the divine vision of other worshippers. They are considered to be Brahm-leen (to have vanished in Brahm). Kaal has kept this place a secret. Those who reach here, they become delighted on meeting hans (souls) who reached there earlier. Like, on meeting pitr-pitras (deceased ancestors), and meeting ghosts. In this, Rarankar sound is playing. These worshippers who worshipped with Rarankar jaap by acquiring Khaichri mudra (posture), they go to Mahaswarg of Mahavishnu (Brahm-Kaal). Then there is Mahasunn (great vacuum place), created by Kaal; the hans (souls) who do not have gurus can not cross this. There, Kaal has set free mayavi (illusory, having supernatural or magical powers) lions, tigers, and snakes. They bite the souls who do not have a guru. Therefore, whether you do bhakti of Kaal lok or Satlok, it is necessary to make a guru. This is an easy and blissful extension.
These lotuses, which are being mentioned, are of the subtle body, and the subtle body has also been put on a living being by Kaal. Therefore, Satguru is giving the description of all this fake creations of Kaal. There is one more eight-petalled lotus; it is said to be ParBrahm’s lok. In reality, this is that place where Purna Brahm lives in another form, and neither can Brahm (Kaal) go there, nor the three gods. Therefore, he is also known as ParBrahm. In its right part, live twelve bhakts. On its left, is a ten-petalled lotus in which the karm-sanyasi (one, who has renounced the world and lives on alms) -nirgun worshippers live. Like these, Kaal has created five Brahms (gods), and five ands (elliptical spheres). He has by himself given them the title of NiHakshar, and has kept four places in concealment. Those devotees who are worshippers of Satguru Kabir Sahib and again start doing Kaal bhakti, Kaal (Brahm-Niranjan) becomes so much annoyed with them that he keeps them as prisoners in these secret places, and torments them a lot there. There are two mountains ahead, and through them is a way; Kaal keeps his worshippers, who are at the post of a guru, in this place for some time. This is also known as Bhanwar gufa (bhanwar cave). There, these hans (gurus) enjoy themselves. The sound of ‘SohM’ shabd is itself playing there, and melodious sound of a flute is also playing. Diamonds and emeralds are studded in that place. A very charming place has been created. After crossing the lok of Akshar Purush (ParBrahm) by doing jaap of this SohM mantra, comes the fake Satlok. There, Kaal himself is deceiving by acquiring ParBrahm’s appearance. A fragrance keeps arising there continuously. This is a very extensive place. Only special Kaal-worshippers (like Markande rishi) are able to reach here. Here, Kaal himself is sitting as SatPurush, but remains hidden. A sound is automatically occurring there. The souls who reach there respectfully move chanvar (whisk) over that fake SatPurush sitting in Mahavishnu form, and become delighted. The appearance of that Kaal-like SatPurush has been made somewhat similar to SatPurush, having the brightness of thousand suns and moons.
Then he himself has become Alakh Purush, and has built an Alakh lok. Then, becoming Agam Purush in Agam lok, and Anami Purush in Akah lok, himself is deceiving everyone, and says that it is indescribable. Only he will know this, who will reach there.
In the end of the shabd (hymn), Kabir Sahib says, “I have presented before you a distinct description of all these lotuses of the material body and the immaterial (subtle) body. I have disclosed the secret of creation to you. This (is inside both the bodies – material and immaterial) is inside the body. This Kaal’s Maya (Prakriti) has cunningly done fake creation similar to that of Satlok in And (brahmand).” Even then, there is a difference of day and night in this and the actual Satlok. Like, there is no visible difference between fine salt and caster sugar, but they have different tastes. Kabir Sahib states that our path is like that of a bird (vihangam). Like, a bird flies from the ground and straight away reaches the top of the tree. The path of the worshippers of Kaal is that of an ant. Like, an ant moves from the ground to the tree’s trunk, and then via bigger and smaller branches reaches the top. Kabir Sahib’s hans (souls) sit in an aircraft in trikuti and fly from there. But the worshippers of Brahm (Kaal) move like an ant and go to their respective deity’s place. A worshipper can go to Satlok only by an aircraft of Saarnaam, and can not go by any other way of worship or mantra. Like, a sea can only be crossed by a ship or an aeroplane; not by swimming. Therefore, worshippable Kabir Sahib Ji has said, “I and my hans (devout souls) go to Satlok on the basis of shabd (Satyanaam and Saarnaam). There, the brightness of the body of a soul becomes equivalent to the brightness of sixteen suns. There, the soul acquires a human-like but eternal body. There it is not called a living being. There, after becoming equipped with the qualities similar to that of God, it is called Hans, and in the upper two loks – Alakh lok and Agam lok, it is known as Paramhans. In Anami lok, the existence of God and the soul does not remain distinct. On the basis of Tattavgyan (true spiritual knowledge), worshippers do not get entangled in lotuses. Because Satguru Ji gives the Saarshabd-like key with which all the locks (bondages) of Kaal automatically keep opening, and sound of the true shabd starts playing, which is occurring outside this body in Satlok. Our Satlok is beyond Pind (body) and And (brahmand). After going there, the soul attains complete salvation.”
