ਗਿਆਨ ਖੰਡ ਮਹਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਪਰਚੰਡੁ ॥ ਤਿਥੈ ਨਾਦ ਬਿਨੋਦ ਕੋਡ ਅਨੰਦੁ ॥  ਸਰਮ ਖੰਡ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਰੂਪੁ ॥ ਤਿਥੈ ਘਾੜਤਿ ਘੜੀਐ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਅਨੂਪੁ ॥ ਤਾ ਕੀਆ ਗਲਾ ਕਥੀਆ ਨਾ ਜਾਹਿ ॥ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਪਿਛੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਇ ॥ ਤਿਥੈ ਘੜੀਐ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਮਨਿ ਬੁਧਿ ॥ ਤਿਥੈ ਘੜੀਐ ਸੁਰਾ ਸਿਧਾ ਕੀ ਸੁਧਿ ॥੩੬॥

Translation in English :

In this stage of Gyan, the light of knowledge shines in its full effulgence, it destroys all ignorance (attachment to flesh and blood and all material things).  The bliss at this stage is beyond all comprehensions.  All sounds of nature are sweet music to him, and fill him with inexpressible rapture.

At this stage the searcher after truth, feels just like Newton that the sea of Divine knowledge is so vast that he is just like a child picking pebbles on the seashore.

This sense of humility and his own littleness fills his heart, and he goes into a stage of ecstasy and adoration.  In this state of mind the speech becomes sweet and beautiful.

It finds expression in various forms of poetic out bursts, and the heart is filled with immaculate and perennial sweetness.  This stage cannot be expressed in words. Anyone who tries to do so, falls so short of it, that he himself feels ashamed of his vain attempt.

At this stage, the power of fixing one‟s attention, judging right from the wrong, keeping one‟s mind straight on the path of truth, and the sense of realizing the Divine within becomes pure, and free from all dross of selfishness.  The cloud of selfishness is removed and one reaches the fine and pure sage of Devtas and Sidhs.  All his thoughts and actions become more pure and forceful.

Note: - After passing through the true stages of Dharma and righteous actions in all walks of life, and Gyan, (a broad and clear vision of the Infinite Universe), the searcher after truth feels his own significance.  He is filled with awe and humility, at the sight of the overwhelming immensity of nature (God‟s creation).  He bows down his head in great devotion and meekness, and feels that he is an infinitesimal part of the creation.  The sense of egoism (I am everything, I now everything) is uprooted and one feels ashamed of the claims one makes as a knower or the doer.  In this meek and humble stage; third stage of mind one becomes a true receptacle of Divine grace (karma) and reaches at-one-ment with the One-in-All and the All-in-One.
