The Divine Friend has appeared in my home-heart, (it seems as if the constant) sound of the supreme unstruck melody is resounding (within me). -Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 764
Message: Infinite Ecstasy!
In this quote, the Guru expresses his spiritual delight and happiness at the ecstatic moment when the Divine dwelt in his heart and united him with Himself.
This realisation and union is only possible through the company of virtuous beings. By associating with them and practising the Guru�s teachings, the mind is attuned to the all-pervading presence of the Divine. Slowly, the mind becomes steady and satiated. Everything within and without looks beauteous and delightful as if a continuous sound of some celestial tunes and melodies is being heard!
Etymology: Combination of panch�(five; exalted, supreme) + shabad (sound, melody); hence, the supreme sound or melody.
