ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਗਿਆਨ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਝਣ ਲਈ ਵੀ ਗਿਆਨ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ
ਪਰ ਉਸ ਗਿਆਨ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਲਾਭ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਵਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਧਾਰਨ ਨਾ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਵੇ
ਅਤੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਵਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਧਾਰਨ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ

When Jap - Chanting, Doing Sumiran loudly with the tongue has faded
And Ajapaa - without words - without the use of the tongue (chanting in mind only) is also vanished.
Even Anhad - the sound current dies as well.
Then -
When Surat - the consciousness merges into the Shabd - known as Naad-Brahm -
There is no Kaal - there is no death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first stage of Sumiran is chanting a sacred word or mantra loudly -
Repeating a word, mantra, or prayer phrase over and over again.
Ajapa is the stage beyond that - the next step.
In this stage, the chanting of words or mantras quietly continues in mind without speech -
without the use of the tongue.
Then comes the state of Anhad
The words disappear - even the sound dies -
Only the silent sound wave or current remains.
Here, Kabir Ji Maharaj is referring to a state in which the seeker should go beyond Jap - chanting -
and Ajapa - non-chanting.
Even passing the state of Anahad, the consciousness should merge into the Shabd itself.
That is, going beyond the above states -
The Surti - consciousness rises so high that it merges into the Shabd itself and becomes one with it.
I remember Baba Avtar Singh Ji Maharaj also used to say similar things.
Sometimes he used to ask some people if they have experienced the Anhad Naad?
If someone said - yes - it has happened.
Then Shahenshah Baba Ji would say - Ok - That is very good -
But don't stop here - go further - go beyond it.

Once, someone asked Swami Ramanand ji -
how do you do Sumiran?
Swamiji replied -
Kar say japun na mukh say japun - ur say japun na Ram
Ram sadaa ham ko japen aur ham paaven vishraam
Once, someone asked Swami Ramanand ji -
how do you do Sumiran?
Swamiji replied -
Neither I do Sumiran with (Maala - rosary in my) hands nor with my mouth (tongue)
Nor I do Sumiran of Ram - the Lord in my heart
Rather, the Lord does my sumiran, and I enjoy being at rest.
After reaching such a stage, the distinction between the devotee and the Lord ceases to exist.
Consciousness merges into the ultimate Supreme consciousness -
The individual soul becomes one with the Super Soul.
'Ram Kabeera ek bhaye hain - koy na sakay pehchaani '
( Rajan Sachdeva )
जप मरे अजपा मरे , अनहद भी मर जाए
सुरत समानी शबद महिं जा को काल न खाए
