Vairaag And The Mind

[JagjeetST]

Fateh Jee

I really need some ideas on how to get the mind into a vairaag state e.g. to make the mind get back on track with Sikhee and to think consiciously before every action. It's really hard to grasp the mind. I managed to strengthen the mind when I came into Sikhi Saroop but now the mind is going off track and it needs to understand the importance of good deeds.

Thank you Jee.

I managed by maharaj kirpa to posted the below on another thread, take it whatever you will from it..!!

1. Remember your death all times, you will naturally remember Vahiguroo and be de-attach from this world. I remember Vahiguroo ji in narsingh avtar killing harnakash, no one can escape death.

2. Keep doing ardas to Guru Maharaj to bless us with concentration naam simran, bless us with baraaig, nishkham seva, prem and advait (non duality)

3. See tat(essence) of everything, everything cease to exit...do your worldy duties as part of your karam or family obligation but don't be attached to it..!!

4. Keep doing vichar at all times. Vahiguroo gave human bibek buddhi (intellect- biggest power) to discriminate- take good and leave bad. Divide your mind in two (intellect- make your intellect as the boss) and mind (dog), whenever vulnerable dog start wandering- let your intellect (boss) bring back the dog to its base by starting right away to do vichar with bibek buddhi- Man tu jot saroop hai apna mool painchan || ( that you are not body, mind - rajo/tamo/sato or five koshas(sheats), you are not jagrath, supaon, sukhopat )- your real essence - gyan saroop atma-paratma ....you will notice slowly infront of yourself- your perception of this world will automatically change..!!

Eg:

Even when you have to do bhog with your spouse - unavoidable circumstance as who wants drop of water/ anand from glass when there is maha anand- ocean out there!!!!!!!!!, look at your own self or perception very carefully and honestly with your bibek buddhi, if your perception is based on western standards of bhog birthi (fullfilling your desires), without any question you are kaami you are slave of panj choor, but if your perception is sabh gobind hai sabh gobind hai and showing affection then its fine he/she comes under- "sabh gobind hai sabh gobind hai" then your mind is becoming part of higher dristhi kaun (perception) of sabh gobind hai.

Same thing applies with moh attachment with kids and money(just earn for survival of family- nothing more and nothing less)..there is big difference between attachment and universal love..once you intuition start becoming more and more advait (non duality) your will find yourself away from attachment but that does not mean you don't love your kid ..there is nothing wrong with universally loving your kid as (he/she parts of universe).

Bairaag and prem are two sides of same coin, they are main wings of Gursikh who wants cross the worldly ocean. Bairaag (de-attached) from this world - individualistic human body/mind and its illusion, at the same time- prem/love universal real essence of human and the whole creation of vahiguroo which is non dual/super consciouness- Vahiguroo atma paratma !!!!!!!!!!

Ang 1282

ਬਾਬੀਹਾ ਨਾ ਬਿਲਲਾਇ ਨਾ ਤਰਸਾਇ ਏਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਖਸਮ ਕਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ॥

Baabeehaa Naa Bilalaae Naa Tharasaae Eaehu Man Khasam Kaa Hukam Mann ||

बाबीहा ना बिललाइ ना तरसाइ एहु मनु खसम का हुकमु मंनि ॥

O rainbird, do not cry out. Do not let this mind of yours be so thirsty for a drop of water. Obey the Hukam, the Command of your Lord and Master,

ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਤਿਖ ਉਤਰੈ ਚੜੈ ਚਵਗਲਿ ਵੰਨੁ ॥੧॥

Naanak Hukam Manniai Thikh Outharai Charrai Chavagal Vann ||1||

नानक हुकमि मंनिऐ तिख उतरै चड़ै चवगलि वंनु ॥१॥

And your thirst shall be quenched. Your love for Him shall increase four-fold. ||1||

Just keep following the path. Do everything the Guru tells you to do, i.e. Amrit (Khande di pahul), naam simran, bani, rehat.

[SunSingh]

always go to sangat and try to do amritvela simran.

also, i've heard that tiag ---> viaraag.

[simran345]

What is vairaag, i always thought it meant sadness or depression?

[VanHelsingh]

Gurfateh JI, the 5 choor are in full flow and are trying to supress us all. It is important to realise the strength of Kaljug and the 5 that are floating around us constantley. Some Chardi Kala Mahapursh even used to do a Jap Ji Shaib path as soon as they would wake up before doing isnan as they never used to give the 5 a chance to attack ... after isnan they would do their full nitnem .... waheguru... I think sometimes we all under estimate the power of kaljug, however if we constantley keep the name of waheguru on our lips and mind these 5 can never touch us... Yes.. alot easier said than done but so is a degree at Uni or some of the jobs we do but yet again we manage to get these all done.

Vairaag is de-attachment. Being sad or depressed is just one form of vairaag.

Vairaag in its totality is de-attachment from this illusory world/maya-five elements of body/individualistic mind.

Tyag is inter-related with Viaraag as well as sunsingh point out above. It's fine and dandy to have inner vairaag but in action-your inner vairaag should appear naturally in form of tyag. Tyag is renunciation.
