Message on the tenth day of the lunar fortnight: When the Divine is realised, delusion is dispelled and divine bliss is experienced in the ten directions. – Bhagat Kabeer, Guru Granth Sahib, Ang 344
Message: Making a reference to the tenth day of the lunar fortnight, Bhagat Kabeer shares his personal experience with us that when we realise the Master of the Universe permeating through the entire creation, all delusions and doubts are dispelled. We experience spiritual ecstasy in the ten directions (four directions, four corners, and up and down) i.e. all around, everywhere, inside and outside. The Divine – the embodiment of light – is pure and immaculate. He is beyond any sorrow. Realising His presence in our being, we too find it easy to deal with life’s problems. We overcome our anguish and misery, and experience a mystical delight.
