Enjoy the kingdom of bliss, free from hurdles, anguish and fear, by practising Truth through the Guru. �Guru Ram Das Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 1087
Message: The verse above asks us to strive for an incredible kingdom or state of mind or lifestyle, which has no hurdle, obstacle, obstruction, interruption and no animosity and hostility. It might seem to be a difficult task but it is possible.
Embodying the truthful teachings of the Guru in everyday life, this spiritual state can be attained. When the Guru�s wisdom is applied in conduct and behaviour, the mind is imbued with divine love. It comes to dwell in a state of spiritual stability and serenity, where there is no fear of any suffering or adversary.
Etymology: Combination of nih-ka??ak (without thorns, without hurdle, obstacle, enemy, anguish, fear, etc.) + raaj (rule).
