??? ????? ???????? ??? ??? ?: Sukh Saagaru Amrit Hari Naaou:
The Amrit Hari Naam (???? ???? ??? ????) is
the Sukh Saagar. (sggs 998).
<><><><>

The Gurbani defines the Sukh Saagar and guides us to realize it, here and now.

Literally, “Sukh – ???” = Bliss, Peace, Joy, Happiness…
“Saagar – ????” = Ocean, ??????…
Therefore, Sukh Saagar (??? ????) = Ocean of eternal Bliss, Peace, Joy, Happiness, ?????? ?? ??????…

Kabeer Sahib says I am absorbed in the Sukh Saagar (??? ????).

  • ??? ???? ??? ???? ???? ????: Sukh saagar mahi ramahi Kabeer ||16||: Kabeer is immersed in the Ocean of Bliss. ||16|| (sggs 344).

In this context, we will try (through the Gurbani) to Reflect on:

  1. What is this Sukh Saagar (??? ????) the Gurbani talks about?
    2. Where is this Sukh Saagar (??? ????) located?
    3. How can we all Experience (Realize…) this Sukh Saagar (??? ????)?
    4. What is it that inhibits us from Realizing this Sukh Saagar (??? ????)?

What is this Sukh Saagar (??? ????)?

According to the Gurbani, this Sukh Saagar (??? ????) is none other than the Paarbrahm, Hari Naam (??? ?? ????), the Bhagati (Bhagti = to attain Spiritual Wisdom or Aatam-Giaan of the Gurbani –??????? ?? ???? ???? ???? ?? ???? ??...), Gurmukhi Bibek Budhi, absorption of the mind in Chitt (????), etc.

  • ??? ????? ???????? ??? ??? ?: The Amrit Hari Naam (???? ???? ??? ????) is the Sukh Saagar. (sggs 998).
  • ????????? ??? ????? ???? ?? ?????? ?????????: Nanak is forever a sacrifice to the Paarbrahm, the Sukh Saagar. ||4||11||81|| (sggs 46).
  • ??? ????? ???? ???? ? ?? ???? ??? ?????? ???: When the Sukh Saagar Guru is realized (Gur-Giaan, Wisdom of the Gurbani…), then all doubts are dispelled. (sggs 626).
  • ???? ??? ??? ???? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ??? ??? ?: Sing the Glorious Praises of the most exalted Guroo, the Sukh Saagar, the Eradicator of wickedness (viciousness, sinfulness, corruption…), the fountain of the Shabad (?????, Aatam Giaan…). (sggs 1389).
  • ??????? ??? ????? ?? ????? ??? ?? ???? ???? ?: The Satiguru (the Gurbani’s spiritual Knowledge of Truth, ?? ?? ????…) is the Sukh Saagar in the world; (without the Satiguru) there is no other place of “Sukh” (Peace…). (sggs 603).
  • ??? ???? ??? ???? ?? ?????? ???? ???? ???? ???? ??? ??? ?: Through the Gurmat (Teaching of the Gurbani), who obtains the Sukh Saagar of Bhagti; Maya and the spiritual powers fall at his feet. (sggs 492).
  • ?????? ??? ??????? ???? ???? ?: Sukhmanee sukh amrit prabh naamu (sggss 262).

Where is this Sukh Saagar (??? ????) located?

According to the Gurbani, the Bhav Saagar (the material world, Maya…) we currently live in is in the Sukh Saagar.

  • ?? ???? ??? ???? ???? ?: Bhav saagar sukh saagar maahee: In the Sukh Saagar, there is the Bhav Saagar. (sggs 323).

This material world is likened to an ocean.
Bhav = existence, world, dread, fear, birth…
Saagar = ocean, sea…
Therefore, Bhav Saagar=> Manmukhi Budhi, Mayaic mind, the mind’s absorption in Maya, world-ocean, Maya-ocean, ocean of material/worldly existence, ?????-??????…
