Importance Of Amrit
The true king (Guru Mahaaraaj) has stated, ‘Pritham Rehit Ehu Jaan, Khandey Kee Pahul Chakey’. This is known as the first form of discipline in the Sikh religion, without taking Khande Baatai Dee Pahul (Amrit) from the Panj Piare in Guru Mahaaraaj’s hazooree (presence) one can not be called a Sikh of the Guru, Gursikh.
Personally, Daas believes one should keep his/her Rehit (all discipline), read as much banee as he or she can, do Naam Japan Vale Gursikhan Dee Sangat, meditate as often as possible, keep a 2 o’clock Amritvelaa, go to Rainsvaaees and practice to sit in the Sangat all night. One should practice all this for a good 2 years before taking Guru Mahaaraaj’s Amrit. This Amrit is very powerful, for only the truly blessed ones receive it, only ones with good past Karam (deeds) receive this bounty. This opportunity should not be wasted. Guru Gobind Singh Jee took 5 heads for this Amrit and begged the 5 Singhs to also bless him with Amrit. This Amrit does not come cheap.
In Bhai Sahib Bhai Randheer Singhs time Gursikhs would have to sit through a 48 hour Akhand Paath (non-stop reading of Guru Granth Sahib Jee) to prove they were suitable enough to receive the Nectar of life. Are we really ready to give our heads when it matters?
'Jo Tho Prem Khelan Kaa Chaao, Sir Dhar Thali Gali Meri Auo.'
Are we ready to play the game of love? If so then put your head on the palm of your hand and walk my path says the Guru.
What does this mean?
This means we have to kill ourselves not physically, but mentally, kill our ego, this is not an easy game to play. How do we kill ourselves? How do we kill our ego? This is all that Daas has talked about in previous posts, there is only one way to kill our ego, and purify this filthy mind which has travelled through many life forms and now is totally black. To cleanse our mind and make it Nirmal (pure) we have to meditate (Simran) athai pehar (24 hours). This is the only time our soul will become one to one with Vahiguroo again.
Without Amrit there is no Mukhtee (liberation). As a Gursikh no matter how much we meditate, read Banee and do Sangat etc, if we have not taken Guru Jees amrit we will not be liberated, Amrit is a must take for a Gursikh.
If we take amrit and don’t meditate much, keep our barlee (outwardly) rehit, we will come back to Earth only as a Human being until this filthy mind is purified, this is the power of Guru Jees Amrit.
If we meditate a lot and think we do not need Amrit, we will come back in to the total cycle of rebirths, this meaning as any being, Dog, Cat etc, the reason for this is that subconsciously we think we are clever (SiaaNap) and we do not need Amrit. Therefore, in reality we are meditating in sheer ego.
If we meditate a lot and do not get the chance to take Amrit but this is the goal we are striving for, then Guru Jee will bless us with Amrit in our next life.

Guru Jee knows what is going on in every ones hearts, who is good and who is bad. The main thing is we need to be in control of our subconscious mind and see where it lies. This is why genuine love through Naam is the universes largest power. When we take Amrit we drink beautiful ambrosial nectar created by the Panj Piaare, this nectar has the power of Guru Sahib as it was created by Guru Sahib. The Panj Piaare must be very spiritual, as they are preparing the nectar through their concentration, this is a very powerful Sevaa (service), this should not be done if we are not ready for it. We need to be strict in our physical and mental Rehit. After this initiation ceremony, we have to drink this Amrit in every second, breath of our life, if we do not drink this Amrit in every breath of our lives this means the vows we gave Guru Jee were false and through ego. This is the reason Daas believes it is very important to prepare your Kheth (mental physical body) through meditation (Simran) for a good two years before taking Amrit as in this time the Simran becomes a part of our life. After taking amrit is where our life begins.
Mahaaraaj says this Amrit (nectar) we drink at the Amrit Sanchaar (ceremony) rises from the naval Chakra (waist) to the Crown Chakra at the Dasam Duaar, when Guru Jee blesses us with Abhiyaas (strict practice of Simran).

from where are you getting these ideas of death or rebirth? If someone takes amrit and only has outwardly bana then he will come to this world as a humanbeing but if someone does not take amrit will come back as a dog or a cat?????
What kind of NONSENSE is this?
This sounds more like Christian concept that if you don't follow jesus then you are going to end up in HELL!
People stop making your own assumptions. if you have taken Amrit thats great and may guruji bless you.
Why look down on other people and Make your mind stories!!!! What is Manmukh then!
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Have you bothered to ask this Gursikh Jee politely?
Instead of accusing him of being a manmukh, and making his own assumptions, perhaps you should ask this Jee where he got this idea/concept?
bhull chuk maaf karni Jeeo
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
I agree with teraroop Ji,if you dont agree with something, you can always argue that politely.
I think, what Naam abhiyasee ji meant is that, If you didnt attain the state of a Gurmukh(that can attained only becoming a sikh of Guru by taking Amrit and meditating), you have to take birth again(that can be anything like dog,cat etc as he said, he gave only some examples). Gurbani has clearly said : Human life is very precious as this is the only way to merge with the great Lord,this is only opportuniy. so why waste it ?
I have not taken Amrit, and I don't consider myself a proper Sikh till I take one. I feel it is a journey and will happen in its due course. And, I do agree with Naam Abhiyaasee Ji about being a manmukh and a gurmukh. It has nothing to do with scaring people to take amrit, but more to do with being a manmukh(living in duality and doubt) and a gurmukh(living according to the path laid out by our Gurus). Great post BTW!
