In this Shabad, Guru Sahib makes it clear how the Gurmukh (pure being) lives his/her life, and how one finds the door of liberation. Guru Sahib has also made it quite clear that the Gurmukh meditates on the Lord God with every hair of his body. Daas has heard many stories about meditating with each strand of hair, one of them is when a Gurmukh meditates with each strand of hair one hears the Shabad Vahiguroo in the hair, if one holds the hair close to ones ear. Daas would like to confirm this is not true.

One has to read the Naam Drug article to realize that Naam and God is an energy that is contained in every single atom of the Universe. When ones concentration of Naam reaches a certain level one starts to meditate with every single strand of Hair.

ਬਾਣੀ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਸੁਣੀ ਸਿਧਿ ਕਾਰਜ ਸਭਿ ਸੁਹਾਏ ਰਾਮ ॥
baanee raam naam sunee sidh kaaruj sabh suhaaeae raam
Hearing the Bani of the Lord's Name, all my affairs were brought to perfection and embellished.
ਰੋਮੇ ਰੋਮਿ ਰੋਮਿ ਰੋਮੇ ਮੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ਰਾਮ ॥
romae rom rom romae mai gurumukh raam dhiaaeae raam
With each and every hair, with each and every hair, as Gurmukh, I meditate on the Lord.
ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ਪਵਿਤੁ ਹੋਇ ਆਏ ਤਿਸੁ ਰੂਪੁ ਨ ਰੇਖਿਆ ਕਾਈ ॥
raam naam dhiaaeae pavith hoe aaeae this roop n raekhiaa kaaee
I meditate on the Lord's Name, and become pure; He has no form or shape. This line proves god is energy.
ਰਾਮੋ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਵਿਆ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਭ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਭੂਖ ਗਵਾਈ ॥
raamo raam raviaa ghutt anthar subh thrisunaa bhookh guvaaee
The Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam, is permeating my heart deep within, and all of my desire and hunger has disappeared.
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਸੀਤਲੁ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ਸਭੁ ਹੋਆ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸਾ ॥
mun thun seethul seegaar subh hoaa gurumath raam prugaasaa
My mind and body are totally adorned with peace and tranquility; through the Guru's Teachings, the Lord has been revealed to me.
ਨਾਨਕ ਆਪਿ ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਕੀਆ ਹਮ ਦਾਸਨਿ ਦਾਸਨਿ ਦਾਸਾ ॥੩॥
naanuk aap anugruhu keeaa hum dhaasan dhaasan dhaasaa
The Lord Himself has shown His kind mercy to Nanak; He has made me the slave of the slaves of His slaves. 3

How will one know if one is meditating with each strand of Hair?

What tends to happen is, ones body through Naam and Dhiaan (concentration) becomes filled with an overwhelming energy - which is felt in the Tenth Gate (Dasam Duaar area). When the concentration and Shabad stay in this area for a certain period of time constantly without the concentration coming back down to the lower energy centers known as chakras, one starts to meditate with every single strand of hair. Once the concentration is poised in the higher energy centers (chakras), most likely the concentration will not come down and should stay there. The reason it should stay there is, once one has experienced this overwhelming, ever uplifting feeling blessed by Guru Sahib one will make sure the concentration level never drops, and constantly stay in single- minded Abhiyaas (practice). One will realize when the concentration level drops, as one will also drop in to feeling down and negative emotions. Every single strand of hair on ones body is also filled with the energy of the universe (God, Naam) which becomes a magnetic force. This state of mind is only achieved by great fortune, blessing, past karam and intense Akhand (non-stop) Naam Abhiyaas.

ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਦੀਆ ਰਖਿਆ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਵਾਰਿ ॥
mun thun dhun jin prabh dheeaa rakhiaa sehaj suvaar
This mind, body and wealth were given by God, who naturally adorns us.
ਸਰਬ ਕਲਾ ਕਰਿ ਥਾਪਿਆ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਅਪਾਰ ॥
surub kulaa kar thaapiaa anthar joth apaar
He has blessed us with all our energy, and infused His Infinite Light deep within us.
ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਿਮਰੀਐ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰਖੁ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੧॥
sudhaa sudhaa prubh simureeai anthar rukh our dhaar
Forever and ever, meditate in remembrance on God; keep Him enshrined in your heart. 1

When ever a part of ones body e.g. Arms come into close contact with anything physical, the strands of hair on ones body will physically stand on end and magnetically be pulled towards the physical object. This is a sign of one meditating with each strand of hair. One will automatically know when one is at this stage, as you actually feel the force of this energy in the head, body and hair. Daas would like to confirm this is not made up, it is personal experience; with Guru Sahibs Apaar Kirpaa.

ਉਲਟੀ ਲੇ ਸਕਤਿ ਸਹਾਰੰ ॥
ouluttee lae sukath sehaarun
Turning away from materialism, I have found intuitive support.
ਪੈਸੀਲੇ ਗਗਨ ਮਝਾਰੰ ॥
paiseelae gugun mujhaarun
I have entered into the sky of the mind, and opened the Tenth Gate.
ਬੇਧੀਅਲੇ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਭੁਅੰਗਾ ॥
baedheealae chukr bhuangaa
The chakras of the coiled Kundalini energy have been opened.
(Ang 972)

This is the stage where one is not affected by worldliness at all as one has learnt to accept all in the will of the great lord and let the world be, one has realized ones coming in the world is a mere play/drama; all is false.

(Ang 294)
ਸਰਬ ਭੂਤ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤਾਰਾ ॥
surub bhooth aap vuruthaaraa
In all forms, He Himself is pervading.
ਸਰਬ ਨੈਨ ਆਪਿ ਪੇਖਨਹਾਰਾ ॥
surub nain aap paekhunehaaraa
Through all eyes, He Himself is watching.
ਸਗਲ ਸਮਗ੍ਰੀ ਜਾ ਕਾ ਤਨਾ ॥
sugul sumugree jaa kaa thunaa
All the creation is His Body.
ਆਪਨ ਜਸੁ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਸੁਨਾ ॥
aapun jus aap hee sunaa
He Himself listens to His Own Praise.
ਆਵਨ ਜਾਨੁ ਇਕੁ ਖੇਲੁ ਬਨਾਇਆ ॥
aavun jaan eik khael bunaaeiaa
The One has created the drama of coming and going.
ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ਕੀਨੀ ਮਾਇਆ ॥
aagiaakaaree keenee maaeiaa
He made Maya subservient (lowly, obey) to His Will.
ਸਭ ਕੈ ਮਧਿ ਅਲਿਪਤੋ ਰਹੈ ॥
subh kai madh aliputho rehai
In the midst of all, He remains unattached.
ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਹਣਾ ਸੁ ਆਪੇ ਕਹੈ ॥
jo kish kehunaa s aapae kehai
Whatever is said, He Himself says.
ਆਗਿਆ ਆਵੈ ਆਗਿਆ ਜਾਇ ॥
aagiaa aavai aagiaa jaae
By His Will we come, and by His Will we go.
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਾ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਲਏ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੬॥
naanuk jaa bhaavai thaa leae sumaae
O Nanak, when it pleases Him, then He absorbs us into Himself. 6

One has to read the whole of the above Shabad with great concentration to work out why this life is a mere play. Guru Sahib is saying he controls everything, coming going, liberation everything is under his command. There is nothing we can do apart from accept his will as being sweet. LEARN TO BE.

Daas would not like to talk too much about this subject, as it is very similar to the Naam Drug article. (Please read the Naam Drug article, as this article will make more sense.)

Here are a few teachings from Singh Sahib Yogee Harbhajan Singh Jee:

"When you say I am a God conscious person it means you realize that your mental capacity is infinity."

"Mind is a unit energy given to you to serve you, be its guide and not its slave."

"When the one pointed, infinite beam of the mind starts sending the signal into the infinity and the infinity relates to the finite, the unit becomes united and this is called the highest stage of the mind. One will only get to these stages with single-minded loving devotion."
