There is its own S\u016bk\u1e63ma-veda<\/em> in the N\u0101tha Samprad\u0101ya<\/em>, which is called the Gorakh Sabad\u012b<\/em>. There is also the Gorak\u1e63opani\u1e63ad<\/em> and analogues of Vedanta<\/em> (\u0101tma-j\u00f1\u0101na, brahma-j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em>), the Gorakh G\u012bt\u0101<\/em>, the Gorakh Pur\u0101\u1e47a<\/em> and the Gorakh Tantra<\/em>. Of course, all of this often differs from what most people see in it, and although essentially it is one whole, it should be better discussed separately. There is also its own nirukta<\/em> \u2013 the interpretation of terms. For instance, according to nirukta<\/em>, a term ‘\u0101de\u015b<\/em>‘ means the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0100de\u015b is the name of the Lords of yoga and yoga itself, the true state of the N\u0101thas. \u0100de\u015b is the name of realised siddhas, of the unity of \u0101tma (an individual soul as it is), param\u0101tma (an omnipresent soul) and jiv\u0101tma (a soul incarnated in a body). \u0100de\u015b is the name of the unity of a soul (within a person) with another soul, reverence for the luminous nature of the soul. \u0100de\u015b is the name of the non-dual \u0101tman, which is beyond qualities, formless and indestructible. This is the full interpretation of the term ‘\u0101de\u015b’. May there be respect and will (teaching) of \u015ar\u012b N\u0101tha ji Guruji!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, according to the Machhindra Gorakh Bodh<\/em> (6), we see the following explanation of the term ‘\u0101de\u015b<\/em>‘:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u092e\u091b\u093f\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930: \u0905\u0935\u0927\u0942 \u0906\u0926\u0947\u0938 \u0915\u093e \u0905\u0928\u0941\u0937\u092e \u0909\u092a\u0926\u0947\u0938, \u0938\u0941\u0902\u0928\u093f \u0915\u093e \u0928\u093f\u0930\u0902\u0924\u0930 \u092c\u093e\u0938 \u0964
\u0938\u092c\u0926 \u0915\u093e \u092a\u0930\u091a\u093e \u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941 \u0915\u0925\u0902\u0924 \u092e\u091b\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926\u094d\u0930 \u0928\u093e\u0925 \u0964<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh disciple, the guidance (upade\u015ba) in the immeasurable ‘\u0101de\u015b’ transmission (anusham), where the infinity (nirantar) lives (v\u0101sa) in the emptiness (\u015b\u016bnya). Speech is a manifestation of the guru (\u015babd k\u0101 paricaya guru) (obviously here is the connection of the guru with v\u0101gbhava b\u012bja “ai\u1e43”), This is what guru Matsyendran\u0101th says.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is, \u0101de\u015b<\/em> or, in Sanskrit, \u0101de\u015ba<\/em> means a certain transmission from a guru<\/em> to a disciple or from a deity to a practitioner in a special form, where an instruction and the highest essence, or the meaning are inseparable. That is the subtle knowledge which guru<\/em> reveals in a student, which is, in fact, the yogic experience. Since that is not an ordinary knowledge obtained in universities, it is rather revealed in a meditative state, in a state of utmost peace of mind and feelings, so this transmission may often be a non-verbal one. It frequently occurs even in silence between some yogis<\/em> or gurus<\/em> and those who receives \u015baktip\u0101t<\/em> from them. This is a relationship of a kind that a student understands a guru<\/em> giving only a small hint, half the words, on a deeply intuitive level. As a rule, that is accompanied by the deep psychophysical transformation of the student’s nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can find this term in other sources, for example, in Vedanta<\/em>, in the B\u1e5bhad\u0101ra\u1e47yaka Upani\u1e63ad<\/em> (2.3.6):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0905\u0925\u093e\u0924 \u0906\u0926\u0947\u0936\u094b ‘\u0928\u0947\u0924\u093f \u0928\u0947\u0924\u093f’\u0964

So, the instruction, which is not this (and) not that.<\/em>
(That is, the truth is outside of the scope of discursive thinking, the nature of the \u0101tman<\/em> is beyond any description).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably, this is where the origin of the N\u0101thas<\/em>‘ focus on freedom from the inadequacy of duality or even non-duality, from any extreme, which is destructive and disharmonious comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, \u0101de\u015b<\/em> (or \u0101de\u015ba<\/em>) means the transfer of essential knowledge, for the sake of the deep spiritual transformation, where a disciple, being in a state of deep respect and utmost attentiveness, both in relation to himself and the guru<\/em>, discovers the silent truth. We may call it the highest form of the mystical experience, leading to the total transformation, the transformation from a person to a God-man. This is the state of yoga in its essential, unified form and also in its many basic aspects, therefore there could be a connection with any kind of traditional yoga<\/em> or religious practices here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many may consider the greeting ‘\u0100de\u015b!<\/em>‘ among n\u0101thas<\/em> as an analogue to the well-known ‘namaste<\/em>‘. ‘Namah<\/em>‘ \u2013 means ‘respect’ and ‘te<\/em>‘ \u2013 means ‘you’. However, as I see it, ‘\u0101de\u015b<\/em>‘ has a deeper meaning, it is rather the very essence of ‘namaste<\/em>‘. By namaste<\/em>, you honor a guru<\/em> or a deity or someone you have respect for. It is kind of a p\u016bj\u0101<\/em>. But why a p\u016bj\u0101<\/em> is performed? It is performed for the sake of the inclusion in the nature of the divine and the descent of pras\u0101dam<\/em> or \u015baktip\u0101t<\/em>. Here \u0101de\u015b<\/em> is, rather, the second stage, following the namaste<\/em>, it is not just a p\u016bj\u0101<\/em> as an action, but it is a successful performance. Such efficiency actually means staying in goodness, sometimes it can reveal some siddhis<\/em> as accompanying side effects. Although the siddhis<\/em> are definite indicators, in this case, it is not them that matters, but the state of siddha puru\u1e63a<\/em>, a pure perfect being. Whatever the p\u016bj\u0101s<\/em> are performed: vedic<\/em>, pur\u0101\u1e47ic<\/em>, tantric<\/em> (including non-standard ones, like pa\u00f1chamak\u0101ras<\/em>), none of them have any meaning if there is no pure grace (pras\u0101dam<\/em>). Therefore, \u0101de\u015b<\/em>, for a yogin<\/em>, is a transforming inner spiritual purity and knowledge, it is more important than any, even the most seemingly exclusive religious techniques. This is not to say that they are good or bad, they may or may not work, as for example, a computer may be useful when it is connected to the Internet and, moreover, to electricity. In the same way, simply put, there is \u0101de\u015b<\/em>, in relation to all types of spiritual techniques and systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
