| - Ecstasy is phenomena of ‘whole’, and not of any - or even aggregates of parts. In material "whole" it is called "Natural frequency". In energy ‘whole’ is termed as resonance. In living whole, we call it ecstasy. It is specially referred to mind, ecstatic state of mind. Four variables are recognized in man - mind, physique, self, surroundings (ਮੱਨ, ਤੱਨ, ਆਪਾ ਤੇ ਧੰਨ) and the spirit that transcends as well as emanates this "whole man".

| - Ecstasy is phenomena of ‘whole’, and not of any - or even aggregates of parts. In material "whole" it is called "Natural frequency". In energy ‘whole’ is termed as resonance. In living whole, we call it ecstasy. It is specially referred to mind, ecstatic state of mind. Four variables are recognized in man - mind, physique, self, surroundings (ਮੱਨ, ਤੱਨ, ਆਪਾ ਤੇ ਧੰਨ) and the spirit that transcends as well as emanates this "whole man". Intellectually speaking, ecstasy in man can be brought by changing the intensity of one’s surroundings. In reality it changes in balance of all four variables. Every man has a unique combination that can bring about ecstasy of whole organism, combination being different each time, as nothing stays the same with the passage of time. Ecstasy is an art, not a science. It is an art that deals with a unique whole of man because every man is by himself, and different, from every body else. The art of ecstasy is something which each person has to figure out himself by experimentation. Nobody can teach except basic fundamentals. Yet, it is an essential stage in search for Sat Naam, truth of a book, a situation, an enterprise, or even of universe. In finding truth of a book one has to pass through certain stages like intellectual comprehension, discrimination of bright nucleus in the body of composition, building a sectional whole around these nuclei, and reaching a state of ecstasy intuiting a single whole of the total. Ecstasy is state of integral psychosome, mind, body and environment. In that state man is in his natural psychosomatic rhythm and in sahajic resonance. Resonance is a technical term in electrical engineering which refers to state of circuit when it is sending out high frequency radio waves. Mind, body and environment, (ਮਨ, ਤ‘ਨ ਤੇ ਧੰਨ) is the total circuit of man through which his consciousness moves. Like there is natural frequency of a physical material, there is a natural rhythm circuit of all living beings. Yogis have made a dogmatic assertion of having discovered laws that govern the living circuit and codified it in an intricate system of Yoga. Nevertheless, this yogic science, if one may call it a science, still is in the realm of occultism. Its worth consists in its great sales value to gullible intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals of Europe and particularly North America. Ecstasy is the dance of life of living beings, rhythmic ebb and flow of life coming into resonance of the living being. It is known that Bhai Lehna used to dance in ecstasy around a small flame he used to worship in his room. In such state, it is flash of knowledge in human mind that causes mental upsurge towards intuition, flight of consciousness into unknown and a phenomena of revelation in a person. Flash of knowledge, intuition and revelation are the goals towards which ecstasy moves. Soojh, Boojh and Darshan are Nanakean terms to express the above idea in Sikhism. The highest ecstasy is integrative that involves the whole circuit and not any differential part of it. In man total circuit consists of mind, body and environment, mind being the impulsive, directional and controlling centre. All factors must be dynamically balanced before psychosome comes into natural rhythm. The immediate cause of ecstasy is the sound of Word or the inarticulate voice of a remembered word.
