The Story

This body is a marvel
Enter within
No matter where we are
in time or space
we are One in the
ever-present consciousness
Enter the inner sanctum – Hemkunt
Find the pool of ambrosial stillness
Get attuned to this seat of the soul
The sacred pool of nectar
Become still…
Remain unaffected
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
All distractions are transitory
Find permanence
In this never changing
state of ‘Oneness’
The Inner Splendor-Hemkunt
‘Feel’ the invisible universe
‘Touch’ the intangible presence
‘Know’ the unknowable
‘See’ All as One
The Waheguru (ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ) mantra written all over this painting is a testimonial to that very omnipresence.

The Inspiration

ਮਨ ਰੇ ਥਿਰੁ ਰਹੁ ਮਤੁ ਕਤ ਜਾਹੀ ਜੀਉ ॥
ਬਾਹਰਿ ਢੂਢਤ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਘਰਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਘਟ ਮਾਹੀ ਜੀਉ ॥
O my mind, remain steady, do not wander away.
By searching around on the outside, you shall only suffer great pain; the Ambrosial Nectar is found within the home of your own being.
– Guru Granth Sahib, p. 878
