This article is written by a rare enlightened soul who has been truly

blessed with this top spiritual state : ATAM RUS.

TOP SPIRITUAL STATE : ATAM RUS

==============================

One God Who’s Name is “Truth” - Great Great Supreme God Supremely

Transcendant.

Supreme God Supremely Transcendant and the one who He resides within -

the Brahmgiani, enjoy a special continuous divine union. This bliss

is known as ATAM RUS. The complete Satguru’s truly pure heart enjoys

the Immortal Being’s presence 24 hrs a day.

“UT PAHAR PRABH BASAY HAJOORAY.

KAHO NANAK SOEE JAN POORAY.

The one in whom the Lord resides 24 hrs a day.

Nanak: that one is Completely Perfect.”

(Sukhmani Sahib)

This union gives rise to the greatest joy – MAHA ANAND. In the heart

of God’s bride, the perfect divine light of her soul is united with

the Supreme Soul. This give rise to blossoming love and divine

intoxication. The one who enjoys this ATAM RUS is the Khalsa. Guru

Gobind Singh Ji :

“ATAM RUS JEH JAANEE SO HA KHALSA DEV”

Infact only the Bramgiani (Knower of God) - the Sada Suhagan (Eternal

Bride) - the complete Satguru (Pooran Satguru) - the KHALSA has

experience of ATAM RUS. This state is higher than AMRIT. There are

three types of Amrit that people think of :

1) Khanday bhattay da amrit – Sikh initiation ceremony

2) Naam and Bani Amrit.

3) Ek Boond Amrit.

(There is another article that describes these).

The only ones who can enjoy this highest level of divine joy – ATAM RUS

– are those upon whom the Eternal Being has be

stowed his mercy. The

ones who have taken support of the Perfect Lord. The ones who have

meditated upon the perfect Satguru and followed his instructions. Not

being separate from the Perfect Lord, they have become one and the

same. The Perfect Lord has come to reside in their heart. And they

are totally engrossed in always singing and praising God.

“POORA PRABH ARAADHIAA POORA JA KA NAO.

NANAK POORA PAAIAA POORAY KEH GUN GAO.”

“Take the support of the Perfect Lord, who’s Name is also Perfect.

Nanak: merging into the Perfect One, sing the praises of the Perfect

One.”

(Sukhmani Sahib)

In the eighth verse of Sukhmani Sahib, Guru Arjun Dev ji describes the

qualities of a Brahmgiani. Guru ji says that in the mind and heart of

a Brahmgiani radiates the perfect Supreme Light of God, just like the

rays of the sun shine in the sky. Only the Bramhgiani knows this

state.

“BRAHMGIANI KA MAN HOI PRAKAASH. JAISA DHAR OOPAR AKASH.

BRAHMGIANI SAGAL KEE REENA. ATAM RUS BRAMHGIANI CHEENA.

The brahmgiani’s mind is full of God’s Supreme Light, just as the sky

is above the earth.

The Brahmgiani is the dust of everyone and the Brahmgiani enjoys ATAM

RUS.”

(Sukhmani Sahib)

Guru Gobind Singh Ji writes that the only one worthy to be called a

Khalsa, is the one whose heart lotus is filled with the Supreme Light

of the Supreme Lord. And the Khalsa is only that one who enjoys ATAM

RUS. Guru Gobind Singh Ji emphasises that the one within whom there

is God’s Perfect Light (POORAN JOT) and God’s enjoyable union (ATAM

RUS) – then there is no difference between that one and God. No

difference between that one and Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself!

“POORAN JOT JAGAY GHAT MEH TAB KHALAS, THAHI NI-KHALAAS JAANAY.”

The one within whose heart the Perfect Light is lit is Khalsa, all

others are not Khalsa.”

And

“ATAM RUS JEH JAANEE SO HA KHALSA DEV.

PRABH MEH,

MO MEH, TAAS MEH, RANCHAK NAHIN BHEV”

The one who enjoys ATAM RUS is the Khalsa.

There is no difference between them and God or them and me.”

The Tenth Father, Guru Gobind Singh Ji has said the Khalsa is his body

and breath, the very life of his life, friend and companion, perfect

Satguru and brave friend. Guru ji gives the Khalsa endless praise and

glory and greatness. Guru ji even says that his method of meditation

is to sit and focus on the Khalsa!

Nowadays, most people do not know the real meaning of the words “ATAM

RUS”. In Punjab, great gatherings of people at Kirtan programmes are

organised for an even greater amount of money by a handful of

religious singing groups (Ragi Juthas). The title of these events

tends to contain the words : “ATAM RUS”. However, it is the

extremely rare one who really has searched for and been blessed with

the real ATAM RUS. These events are actually not bestowing you with

ATAM RUS, but with KANEE RUS meaning pleasure for the ears with sweet

music. And these events are organised for making money – which they do

very well.

ATAM RUS is above MAYA (mammon : things that distract you from God).

ATAM RUS is only experienced by those great spiritual warriors with

truthful hearts who have defeated the five thieves (anger, greed, lust,

attachment and pride). The ATAM RUS enjoyment is higher than anything

in the world including all the sacred languages, words and letters that

try to describe it. ATAM RUS is beyond description, beyond singing

about it, and beyond the majority of those who are describing and

singing about it. Ultimately ATAM RUS can only be known by

experiencing it in your own heart.

“EH AKHAAR KHIR JAAIGEH

OH AKHAAR IN MEH NAHI”

These letters will not last forever,

God is beyond these letters.”

(Bhagat Kabir Ji in SGGS)

I don't see much beyond what you can find in books, and even there they tell you more i.e the white petal lotus in your mutha area that you can see with meditation.
