Eyes of Vichaar

In the SGGS, the Gurbani’s sublime Saroop (nature, form, etc.) is revealed as “Nirankaar” (i.e., Formless Lord), Truth, Amrit, and so on.

• ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਹੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥: Vaahu vaahu baanee nirankaar hai tis jevad avar na koi: Waaho! Waaho! (wonderful) is the Baanee of the Formless Lord. There is no other as great as He is (sggs 515).
• ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਚੁ ਹੈ ਸਚਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ॥: Vaahu vaahu baanee sach hai sach milaavaa hoi ||: Waaho! Waaho! is the True Word of His Bani, by which we meet our True Lord (sggs 514).
• ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਹਰਿ ਬਾਣੀ ॥: Amrit sabad amrit har baanee ||: The Shabad is Amrit; the Lord’s Bani is Amrit (sggs 119).
• ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਤਿਖ ਜਾਇ ॥: Gur kaa sabad amrit hai jit peetai tikh jaai || The Word of the Guru’s Shabad is Amrit; drinking it in, thirst (of Maya) is quenched (sggs 35).
• ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਭੋਗੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰਿ ॥ : Amrit meethaa sabad veechaar || Anadin bhoge houmai maar ||: Reflective meditation upon the Shabad is Amrit. By subduing his ego, one enjoys it night and day (sggs 424).
• ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਉ ॥: Gur kaa sabad amrit ras peeou || Drink in the Amrit of the Guru’s Shabad (sggs 891).
• ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਾਰੁ ॥: Gurmukh sabad amrit hai saar ||: For those who have become the Gurmukh, the Shabad is the most excellent Amrit (sggs 932).

This Saroop of the Gurbani cannot be seen with the physical eyes.

Also, It cannot be seen by just reading, hearing, or repeating these verses.

The eyes of Vichaar are needed to see It!

A person having such Vision is called in the Gurbani the Gurmukh (follower of Truth and truthfull living, etc.).

• ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਚੁ ਹੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਲਧੀ ਭਾਲਿ ॥ : Vaahu vaahu baanee sach hai guramukh ladhhee bhaal ||: Waaho! Waaho! is the Bani of the True Word. Searching, those who have become Gurmukhs have found it (sggs 514).
