In the realm of Truth, the Formless One resides, who, having created His creation, watches over it blissfully. – Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 08
Message: Sach khand or the realm of Truth is the abode of the Timeless and Formless One that reveals infinity, a state that is beyond description. �
This is the stage where a seeker ultimately reaches and enjoys the divine presence and the bliss of union with the Creator. Here, one sees that the all-pervading Creator creates, watches over creation, bestowing blessings through His beneficence. In that stage, one realises the vastness of the universe, with galaxies and planets which are beyond count. One realises that the entire creation is operating according to hukam, the divine phenomenon/plan. To give a full and accurate account of experiences in this realm would be like chewing on steel, an impossible task (kathnaa kardaa saar).
Notes: The mention of sach khand in Jap Ji Sahib symbolizes the highest spiritual state where one attains the realisation of the ultimate Truth. On the other hand, however, sach khand, according to Bhai Gurdas, a devout and scholarly Sikh of the Guru period, is the association of the wise and virtuous (saadh sangat), where seekers congregate to achieve the goal of life (realisation of Truth):

Saadh sangat is the sach khand where the Formless One resides. – Bhai Gurdas Ji, Vaar 19/38
Etymology: Blend of sach, from Sanskrit satya (true, truth, promise) ? Prakrit/Pali sachch ? Sindhi sachu and Punjabi sach + kha?? (realm, zone).
