Sahaj is the technical term for the goal state and it is unusually modest as mystical vocabulary goes. The word in ordinary Punjabi means easy, natural, unforced, and that is close to what it means here: a mind that no longer swings, that does the same things without the internal narration. It is placed in Japji's scheme in the region beyond effort, and Sikh writers stress that it cannot be manufactured — practice puts you in position, grace does the rest. The related term sahaj yoga appears in the scripture as a contrast with the strenuous physical yoga of the Naths whom Nanak argued with, and the point of the contrast is that nothing violent is required of the body. A sehaj path — the unhurried reading of the whole scripture over days or weeks, as against the forty-eight hour akhand path — uses the same word, and the difference between the two readings is a fair illustration of what the term means.
