excerpted from a lecture by the Siri Singh Sahib on November 19, 1989
“Anand bhe-aa mere maahe satiguroo meh paaiaa. Satigur taa paaiaa sahej setee man vajiaa vadaaeea.”
I have found it in an easy way. Sahej means very easy, very smooth, very harmonious way. And my mind is in bliss. Why? Because within myself, within my psyche, within my being, within my radiant body, I have my own nectar within me. I have created that.
I have stimulated my tattwas. I have resolved the unity of my gunas. I have resounded and I have really reprocessed my chakras, and I find myself in absolute bliss.
That is what Anand is about; that is what bliss is about, and that’s why the song of bliss, it deals with you in detail. It deals with you personally. It deals with you affectionately. Guru deals with you being as you are.
“Sahej is a state of mind where command and obedience become one….
Where in Siri Guru Granth is Sahej explained? After all, Siri Guru Granth Sahib is fourteen hundred and thirty pages. Where is Sahej explained?
Ek Ong Kar. That is a state of Sahej. The One created the One, is Sahej….
The state of Sahej Yoga, which is called the way of Sikh Dharma, is contained in these words, Ek Ong Kar, Sat Nam. Truth and Identity became one.”
The Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji, July 10, 1984
Sahej (Song Lyrics by MSS Livtar Singh and Wahe Guru Kaur)
Oh Lord, I have come from wandering
If only for a moment I could know you
All my cleverness would vanish
So humble are the Sikhs of the True Guru
Chorus
Sahej, the easy acceptance
Sahej, of your own radiance
Sahej, with love of the Guru enshrined in your heart and soul
the way is effortless
Bridge
In the quiet peace of the soul
where the unknown self is known
The bride merges with her Lord
He fills her heart with his love, and makes her his own
So how are we to meet you to live in your ecstasy?
In the company of your saints I feel your light in every cell of me
Chorus
Bridge
Long locks and waves of hair tumble down at night
Guru Gobind Singh lives there in the radiant body light
Night is the time of remembering God, time of thanksgiving for another day as a pure one, for another day of living in Sahej….
Sahej, the easy acceptance
Sahej, of your own radiance
Sahej, when love of the Guru lives in your heart and soul
you are effortless
