Sukhpreet Kaur Ji Amrit Vela consists of two words, Amrit and Vela.
ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਤਿਖ ਜਾਇ ॥ AGGS 35
Gur Ka Sabad Amrit Hai Jit Peetai Tikh Jae ||
Spiritual teachings of the Guru (Shabd) which explains Virtues of the God is Amrit, accepting, imbibing and living life accordingly (Drinking) quenches all worldly desires.
ਜੇ ਵੇਲਾ ਵਖਤੁ ਵੀਚਾਰੀਐ ਤਾ ਕਿਤੁ ਵੇਲਾ ਭਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੇ ਰਤਿਆ ਸਚੇ ਸਚੀ ਸੋਇ ॥ AGGS 35
Je Vela Vakhat Vichareai Ta Kit Vela Bhagt Hoe || Andin Namey Ratia Sache Sachi Soe ||
If we continue looking for a specific perfect time and moment (Vela) to worship the God, then we will never be able to do so, because we will never find such a time. We should be attuned with the God every moment of our life. We should not forget God even for an instant.
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.
