Publisher's Synopsis
This book describes revelations about Jap Meditation as explained by Guru Nanak in Japji. Guru Nanak laid foundation of a revolutionary approach to Spirituality some 500 years back. The concepts in Japji elucidate the nature of "true reality" in Creation. The composition itself is a form of steps in the Jap meditation. It is a method that takes us deep within the mindscape where the inner voice of guidance is heard. With it we recognise our origin and the nature of consciousness. Our conscious awareness begins to have new vision. and ability. We can know the Sach, the Truth only when we go within. We can, with this method, reap the benefit of inner world in our worldly life. This is the way to be free of fear and anxiety. This is the method through which we can remove negative thoughts and inclinations from our personality. The move within to the Nirgun point is not only an awakening but an empowerment. At this point, we hear the Celestial Sound vibration of Creation. This shift to this Nirgun point is destined to shift humanity towards a life aligned with the truth of existence. This is an age in the history of mankind that despite the desire about spiritual awakening, there is so much misinformation. Japji tells us that Maya (the deceptive influence) is inbuilt in the world construct. It prevents an easy knowing of truth about the created world. The way out is to be guided by internal guidance. True understanding and guidance come by having an awareness of the Nirgun, the formless world within. Outside in the Physical world this "truth" is not perceptible as there our mind is involved in worldly affairs. We have a self-identity. There is purification and change of attitude. The mind then becomes aware of the presence of Truth. Humanity needs this to get to the next level.In this modern world there is an ongoing talk of consciousness revolution and "Fifth dimensional Living". The concepts for such a life were brought to this world by Guru Nanak with his advent in this world. He travelled more than 28,000 Kms in five major tours of the world during the period from 1500 to 1524 bringing the light of knowledge to the innumerable souls leaving behind his compositions. This book is an English translation of Japji and along with the comments reveals the indicated message. The composition not only reveals the "Truth" but also explains the realisation of it. Gurbani hymns are the words of the inner true Guru. Japji has at its beginning the main light in the form of the Mool Mantar.For awakening to the truth no rites, rituals or pilgrimages are needed. All we need is true guidance. Guru Nanak has brought this method for the humanity. This is the time it is explained with true meanings for humanity's transformation towards an awakened living.
