Nitnem Benti Chaupai Sahib English Katha.wmv

This bani is called Benti or request Chaupai (poetry type). It represents the fourth spiritual state. The first state is Jap and we have the bani Jap Ji Sahib. Jap is when we start meditating on the Naam, start remembering God, Jaap is the second state and it is when we start loving God and having a pull towards him during our daily lives. It is described in Guru Granth Sahib in this shabad
