Sahaj (Sehaj)


SAHIJ / SEHAJ

Sahij/ Sehaj literally means: which comes impromptu (effortless, spontaneous) along with (some other phenomenon). Another meaning is ‘in ease’. It is also a state of calm, of tranquillity, a feeling of ‘joy of equipoise’. It is a feeling that can be achieved through meditation in the Name of God, by purging one’s ego and by leading truthful life. Sahaj is a state when one is free from intrusion of ego, in unshaken natural and effortless serenity. It is attained through spiritual perfection. In this state of mind and spirit, one lives in ease, without renouncing this world.
