Sant Attar Singh was perhaps the greatest Sikh since the Gurus,
his legacy of buildingschools, hospitals, doing parchar and
uplifting humanity throughout India is unprecedented.Sant Ji
typified all that a Sikh should be, he was a former soldier who was
decorated as thebest in his regiment for his martial prowess and he
was a Sant of unparalleled discipline.
The following is from his biography, "The Way to Establish
Permanent Peace."
'One day, Sant Gyani Sunder Singh Ji, while holding discussions
on practicing the DivineNam, said, "If Guru Nanak Dev Ji showered
his blessings on a person, he could attain thenext spiritual stage
automatically provided, he recite the Divine Nam in single track
devotion.Therefore, a person has only to meditate, practising
single-track devotion. On this, Sant Attar
Ji confirmed it to be correct. In the beginning a Sikh devotee
recites the Divine Name and holyhymns loudly. By this way, his
attention concentrates. After that with meditation only, one
canremain in the stage of concentration. Later, lips become
motionless and only tongue practicesthe Divine Name. After some
time, the tongue too stops movement. Then "kanth" (pharynx)also
stops working and subs equently direct constant link with the
Divine is established. In thisstage, each and every hair of the
human body emits the sound of "Waheguru" (the divinename). And even
all the world and every thing in it is heard reciting
"Waheguru."
"Jo Bolat Hai Mirg Pankhero So Bin Har Japat Hai Nabi Hore"
(1265)-whatsoever deer, fish, birds speak, they only recite the
divine Naam.
Once when Sant Gyani Sunder Singh Ji visited Mastauna and while
discussing the Divinethoughts mutually, Sant Attar Ji said, "Gyani
Singh Ji, we with the reliance of Gurmantr (thedivine name -
Waheguru), the state of our mind turns from solitude to
thoughtlessness andkeeping ourselves within our bodily structure,
we establish link with the Almighty. This methodis adopted by
us."
Method of Nam Simran (meditation) -
Feel the presence of the Almighty within, with full faith and
devotion, recite the Divine Namewith the tongue in the beginning -
the lips and the tongue continue gently moving up anddown slowly go
on uttering "Waheguru," "Waheguru" at a stretch with love and
attention; then
by and by continue uttering "Waheguru," "Waheguru," gently with
the tip of the tonguetouching the palate and lips remaining almost
still; in the third stage with breathing Wahe
should go along with breath while inhaling and Guru should
emerge along with the breathwhile exhaling. But the essential
requirement of all these steps of Nam-Simran is that oneshould do
it realizing the presence of Akal Purakh within and everywhere.
"Gur kee Murat Mun Meh Dhiaan
Gur Kae Shabad Mantar Mun MaanGur Kae Charan Ridae Lae DharonGur
Parbrehm Sada Namaskaro." (864)
Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh!
