Amrit Vela consists of two words – Amrit and Vela. According to Gurbani Amrit is:
ਨਾਨਕ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਮਨੈ ਮਾਹਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ AGGS 1238
Nanak Amrit Ek Hai Duja Amrit Nahi || Nanak Amrit Manai Mah Paiai Gur Parsad ||
Nanak says there is only one Ambrosial Nectar (Amrit); there is no other nectar at all. That Amrit is obtained within mind (Mann) by Guru’s Grace.
And Vela is Time.
ਹਰਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਨਿਤ ਭੁੰਚਹੁ ਸਰਬ ਵੇਲਾ ਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਵਹੁ ॥ ਜਰਾ ਮਰਾ ਤਾਪੁ ਸਭੁ ਨਾਠਾ ਗੁਣ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਨਿਤ ਗਾਵਹੁ ॥੩॥ AGGS 611
Har Amrit Naam Bhojan Nit Bhunchhu Sarab Vela Mukh Pavhu || Jra Mra Tap Sabh Natha Gunn Gobind Nit Gavhu ||3||
Amrit, (Virtues of the God) is such a spiritual food which should be eaten all the time. One should always be attuned to this spiritual wisdom. With that, one will be able to cope with all problems and pains of life happily and have a Blissful State.
There is no specific time to get spiritual knowledge and wisdom from the Guru. Though, early hours of morning are considered to be best time of the day, but it is not possible for those who do shift duties. If Amrit Vela is only early hours then people doing shift duties will never get salvation. God can’t punish people for working which is essential part of life. For people doing shift duty early hours is when they wake up from sleep. Upon arising, they should bathe to clean the body, and then cleanse the mind (Mann) in the pool of nectar of Guru’s teachings (Read, listen them). Otherwise spiritual wisdom can be obtained from Gurbani and from discussions any time of the day, at any place and through any means. The time (Vela) when spiritual wisdom about Virtues of the God (Amrit) is obtained is Amrit Vela. Once we have adopted and assimilated the spiritual knowledge, wisdom and Virtues of the God then they should be in our mind (Mann) every breath and every moment of our life.
