Sensory input creates thoughts

Gyan and Karma Indires

These act as appendages for the mind.

During simran we must

learn to leave all of the

indires behind. If we

leave them behind we

will not have thoughts.

These indires help us

experience Maya. We

need to Break free from

Maya and learn to stop

these indires.

Indires

Gyan indires are the 5

Senses

-Smell, Sight, Touch,

Hearing, Taste

Karam indires

Motor functions

9 Doors There are 9 openings in the body which were opened by Pavan.

Eyes-2

Ears-2

Mouth-1

Nostriosl-2

Sexual organ-1

Rectum-1

Pavan connects us to Maya. Without Pavan we do not have the life breath to spend time in Maya.

ਨਗਰੀ ਏਕੈ ਨਉ ਦਰਵਾਜੇ ਧਾਵਤੁ ਬਰਜਜ ਰਹਾਈ ॥

There are nine gates to the one city of the body; restrain your mind from escaping through them.

To meet God we must close all 9 openings and then the 10th will open.

God Thoughts

ਇੰਦਰੀ ਦਸੇ ਦਸੇ ਫੁਜਨ ਧਾਵਤ ਤਰੈ ਗੁਣੀਆ ਜਿਨੁ ਨ ਜਿਕਾਵੈਗੋ ॥ਸਜਤਗੁਰ ਪਰਚੈ ਵਸਗਜਤ ਆਵੈ ਮੋਿ ਮੁਕਜਤ ਸੋ ਪਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੩॥

There are ten indries of sense and action;

the ten wander unrestrained. Under the

influence of the three gunas, they are not

stable, even for an instant. Coming in

contact with the True Guru, they are brought

under control; then, salvation and liberation

are attained. ||3|| 1310

ਕਾਲੁ ਜਾਲੁ ਜਜਹਵਾ ਅਰੁ ਨੈਣੀ ॥ ਕਾਨੀ ਕਾਲੁ ਸੁਣੈ ਜਬਿੁ ਬੈਣੀ

Kall’s Jal is hanging over

their tongues and eyes.

Kall is over their ears, when they

hear talk of evil.227

In us is a light. This is the light that lets us

perceive the world. (It doesn’t look like this)

Think about when you Dream or when you

are awake.

Who is speaking?

Who is hearing?

Who is feeling?

The Mind was sent as Child of God. To do

karma and Dharma but because it doesn’t

want to be controlled. Then it will be take

munmat and with out protection it is beat

up by Kall and the 5

THE MIND

SITS BEHIND

THE EYES

ਮਨ ਮਜਹ ਜੋਜਤ ਜੋਜਤ ਮਜਹ ਮਨੂਆ ਪੰਚ ਜਮਲੇ ਗੁਰ ਭਾਈ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਜਤਨ ਕੈ ਸਦ ਬਜਲਹਾਰੀ ਜਜਨ ਏਕ ਸਬਜਦ ਜਲਵ ਲਾਈ ॥੪॥੯॥

The Light is in the mind, and the mind is in

the Light. The Guru brings the five senses

together, like brothers.

Nanak is forever a sacrifice to those who

enshrine love for the One Word of the

Shabad. 879

ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਜਰਦ ਅੰਤਜਰ ਧਾਰੈ ॥ ਪੰਚ ਜਨਾ ਜਸਉ ਸੰਗੁ ਜਨਵਾਰੈ ॥ ਦਸ ਇੰਦਰੀ ਕਜਰ ਰਾਿੈ ਵਾਜਸ ॥ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਆਤਮੈ ਹੋਇ ਪਰਗਾਸੁ ॥੧॥

Those who implant Gur-ka-Shabad within

their hearts cut their connections with the

five passions.

They keep the ten Indries under their

control; their souls are enlightened. ||1||

How do you do your Karm and Dharam?

ਨਾਮਾ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਜਹਆ ਕਹੈ ਜਤਲੋਚਨੁ ਮੀਤ ॥ਕਾਹੇ ਛੀਪਹੁ ਛਾਇਲੈ ਰਾਮ ਨ ਲਾਵਹੁ ਚੀਤੁ ॥੨੧੨॥ਨਾਮਾ ਕਹੈ ਜਤਲੋਚਨਾ ਮੁਿ ਤੇ ਰਾਮੁ ਸੰਮ੍ਹਾਜਲ ॥ ਹਾਥ ਪਾਉ ਕਜਰ ਕਾਮੁ ਸਭੁ ਚੀਤੁ ਜਨਰੰਜਨ ਨਾਜਲ ॥੨੧੩॥

Trilochan says, O Naam Dayv, Maya has enticed you, my friend. Why are you printing designs on these sheets, and not focusing your consciousness on the Lord? ||212||

Naam Dayv answers, O Trilochan, chant the Lord's Name with your mouth. With your hands and feet, do all your work, but let your consciousness remain with the Immaculate Lord. ||213||

1376

ਦੇਹੀ ਗਾਵਾ ਜੀਉ ਧਰ ਮਹਤਉ ਬਸਜਹ ਪੰਚ ਜਕਰਸਾਨਾ ॥ ਨੈਨੂ ਨਕਿੂ ਸਰਵਨੂ ਰਸਪਜਤ ਇੰਦਰੀ ਕਜਹਆ ਨ ਮਾਨਾ ॥੧॥

The body is a village, and the soul is the

owner and farmer; the five farm-hands live

there.

The eyes, nose, ears, tongue and indries of

touch do not obey any order. ||1||

ਕਾਸਿ ਮਜਹ ਜਜਉ ਹੈ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ਮਜਥ ਸੰਜਜਮ ਕਾਜਿ ਕਿੀਜੈ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਜੋਜਤ ਸਬਾਈ ਤਤੁ ਗੁਰਮਜਤ ਕਾਜਿ ਲਈਜੈ ॥੧॥ ਨਉ ਦਰਵਾਜ ਨਵੇ ਦਰ ਫੀਕੇ ਰਸੁ ਅੰਜਮਰਤੁ ਦਸਵੇ ਚੁਈਜੈ ॥ ਜਕਰਪਾ ਜਕਰਪਾ ਜਕਰਪਾ ਕਜਰ ਜਪਆਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਹਜਰ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਜੈ ॥੨॥ The potential energy of fire is within the wood; it is released

if you know how to rub it and generate friction. In just the

same way, the Lord's Name is the Light within all; the

Essence is extracted by following the Gurmat. ||1||There

are nine doors, but the taste of these nine doors is bland

and insipid. The Essence of Ambrosial Nectar trickles down

through the Tenth Door. Please take pity on me - be kind

and compassionate, O my Beloved, that I may drink in the

Sublime Essence of the Lord, through the Word of the

Guru's Shabad. ||2|| 1323
