BRAHAM PRAKAASH
(SELECTED VERSES ONLY)
BY PEER SHAMSH


sat shabd hay guru hamaaraa, taa(n)ko lekhe nayo sa(n)saaraa....1

The True Word (Holy Word or "Isme Azam") is my Guide (or remover of
darkness).
The world at large does not have much regard for it.
variant:
The True word is our guide, which is not perceived by this world.


sat shabda kaa karo veechaaraa, peershaah kahojee vaara(m)vaaraa2

Reflect(contemplate, meditate) upon the True Word and
say 'PeerShaah'(name of the Lord or other form of zikr) as often as
possible, or repeat again and again the words 'Peer and Lord'


pratham dheeyaan rattanaasu(n) keeje, neeshdeen peershaah peershaah
bhanneeje.............................................3

At first one should focus on repeated remembrance of this word in
one's own mind and indeed remember the word "PeerShaah"(or any other
name of Allah) day and night.
var:
First fix your attention with the tongue.
Through night and day say 'Peer and Lord, Peer and Lord'.


teen maas rattanaa beech rahyaa, peechhe naam brahmaa so kahyaa.4

If you maintain constant remembrance for at least a period of three
months, it becomes the word of "Brahmaa".

[The "BOL" given by the Satguru has a pronounciable sound which
eventually becomes "non- pronounciable". It develops into "Divine
sound vibrations" and becomes "Ajampia Jaap"(non pronounciable word)
as said by Peer Sadardeen in some other geenaan. After three months
of constant practice, the "BOL" develops into a "Divine Sound"
or "Primordial Sound". This primordial sound existed long ago before
the invention of any language and could only be communicated to
people by Haazar Imaam and through Him by His appointed successor.
According to most religions, long before the creation, there was
only "Primordial Light" and from the light came the "Word" and
the "Word" was "God". After three months of constant practice, one
does realise the significance of the "BOL", as explained by Peer
below.]


naam letaa bhayaa prem prakaashaa, tab upajyaa manvishvaas......5

By taking the name, light of "love" starts shining in one's mind and
deep faith "IMAAN" gets generated.[Love and faith become one as
without the one the other cannot exist.]


kaho prem laksha kesaare bhaai, gupta bhed kahu(n) pragatta bataai6

Brother, you may ask, what is this Light of Love?
Let me tell you openly the secret.


gad gad laheree premakee utthe, taa(n) beech sheeree mukhakee
chhutte....................................7

There will gush forth waves of love in your mind and the divine
nector will flow freely into your mouth.


hot gal galee sukhme agaahee, taa(n) beech manvaa rahyaa samaai.8

Happiness(or bliss) bubbles and your mind gets enveloped into it.



chale tratt jahaa(n) premkee dhaaraa, pivat prem hovat matvaalaa...9

When there is such a flow of love, the drinker becomes drunk with
love. He becomes "mast"(like mast fakir).


chhakee kar bakeeyaa anbhaya baanee, dur paho(n)chekee yehee
neeshaanee..............................................10

"Chhakee" means drunk or divinely intoxicated. "Chhakee" gets so
drunk with love that he fearlessly recites his experience. This is a
sign that he has reached far. In other words he has made progress.
[In the present time the Imaam has discouraged people to articulate
this experience.]


brahm sukhakee kyaa kahu(n) vaddaai, maheemaa adheek kahee nav jaai
..........11
How can I describe this happiness of Brahmaa? This bliss? It's
importance is beyond words and is undescribable.


pothee pataraa vaa(n)chee sunaave, vaa(n) sukh kee gatee ve nahee
paave..........................................................12

No amount of reading of books(scriptures, philosophy books e.t.c.)
can give you the experience of this happiness, also no sermons can
describe the experience of this bliss.
In the next few verses, the Peer describes the wasted efforts of the
sects and people who are looking for the happiness and salvation
through austerities, penances, privations and pilgrimages etc. Then
he mentions the names of some well known self realised persons
mostly from the Hindu scriptures.

ab chh maas dhyaan harade rahyaa, shuksham ek naam neej kahyaa.61

When you have meditated on this one name for six months constantly
ek deen acha(m)baa bhayaa, saheje dhyaan naabhee ku(n) gayaa...62

Then one day a miracle occurs and automatically your mind will be
directed towards your naval.


namahee beech rahyaa nav maas ohee dhyaan obhee sukh veelaasaa.63

After being immersed in this name for nine months maintaining the
same concentration and enjoying the same bliss.....


pachham deesaa hoi chadde aakaashaa, jaai dekhyaa agam tamaashaa.64

Then in the west the skies get overcast or start glowing and you
start seeing a unique or unparalled show(tamaashaa) or light.


beenaa megh jahaa(n) a(m)bar gaaje, beenaa mahol jahaa(n) betthaa
chhaaje........................................................65

Without the presence of rain, there is the thundering of the skies
and you feel that you are sitting in a balcony without the presence
of a palace.


beenaa badal jahaa(n) barase mehaa, rahet purush jahaa(n) ek vann
dehaa..........................................................66

One experiences rain(rain of pearls) without the presence of the
clouds and feels that one is living without the presence of one's
body.


kehee veedhee karee a(m)bar gaaje, kahee veedhee karee betthaa
chhaaje........................................................67

kehee veedhee karee barase mehaa, kahi vidhee karee rahetaa purush
vann dehaa.......................................................68

By what miracles are the skies thundering and by what miracles one
sits in a palace without the presence of a palace? How can rains
fall without the clouds, and how can a person remain bodyless?


ghor anhad a(m)bar gaaje, man betthaa treekutteeke chhaaje.....69

There is infinite (limitless) amount of thundering and the mind
rides on the 'Trikuti' - (the third eye and the junction of the
three force channels 'ingala', 'pingla', and 'sukhmana').


zarmar varse sukhmannaa mehaa, rahetaa neeree(n)jan jahaa(n) vann
dehaa..........................................................70

There is dripping of happiness from the nerve(force)
channel 'Sukhamannaa' and the body-less self sees
the 'Nirinjan'(non - blinding) light or undescriptible entity.
[The nerve or force channel "Sukhmannaa" is the centre of happiness
or bliss. The people who have seen this "blindless' light will be
able to say that the light one sees is more powerful than the light
of the sun but is not blinding to the eyes.]


nahee tur jahaa(n) hay bee turaa, nahee(n) sur jahaa(n) hay bee
suraa..........................................................71

You hear a flute (or a trumpet) without the presence of a flute and
you hear music without the presence of musicians. [Tur is a windward
musical instrument and sounds like a 'sharnai'.
Compare with what Peer Sadardeen says in another of his
geenaans: "Anek vaajaa vaaji(n)tero vaaje, akalla svaroop dekhee
duniyaa laaje", meaning, " there is the sound of several musical
instruments (celestial music) and hearing all this the worldly mind
boggles".]


nahee ga(n)g jahaa(n) haybee ga(n)gaa, nahee(n) sa(n)g tahaa(n)
haybee sa(n)gaa..................................................72

You see the flow of a river without the presence of the river
(Ganges), you feel the presence of company without the presence of
people.

[ All the experiences alluded to in the verses 61 onwards are
mystical experiences without the mediation of the sense perceptions.
They are not the ultimate objective of meditation. They may or may
not occur depending upon individuals. The ultimate experience is
beyond these.

In the next few verses, the Peer asks how all the above are possible
and then tells you that it is possible through the "Akhand"
or "Immortal" word. He further says that once you have realised all
the above, the word will remain with you until eternity and through
meditating on it further, you will get "Mukhti" or salvation.]
