Darshan of the Guru

I sat for Japji with Karta Purkh and Sat Inder Kaur, with Arjinder and David, and with Sat Inder Singh. I sang the Aquarian Sadhana mantras to the CD which Sat Inder Singh brought: Sat Purkh's "Beautiful Day", and it seemed to have a similar effect as I had experienced the first time I heard it. I'd thought the first time that happened might have been due to the number of people present, but I have since done Sadhana with four or five others, not having such an experience.

It was beyond words, really.

Yet, I can say that toward the end of "Wahe Guru", my body began to float, and when we finished I did not want to get up, so I began to cry. ...then to laugh. I could not stop it if I had tried. I did try to stand and almost fell, I was so unaware of my body, but David reached out a hand to touch my back, and it grounded me enough to stand and walk into the Gurdwara. Then I literally fell onto the floor. My body shook intensely as waves of energy spread over me, moving gradually down my spine, then stopping. It stopped and started twice.

When Gurdwara service was over, I did not want to speak. Arjinder and David were so kind to ask if I was okay and if I was 'back', but I wanted to just sit with the Guru. This still surprises me...to have such devotion to a book! And yet I know that the tenth Guru, Guru Gobindh Singh, authorized the Siri Guru Granth Sahib to be the Guru.

So this is devotion to God and Guru...

And an afternoon spent in quiet reflection.
