18 BHAR VANASPATI

[agakhani]

I read in various ginans of our different Pirs about the word "18 BHAR VANASPATI" can anybody tell what is the meaning of 'BHAR" or 18 bhar vanaspati( vegetable) means how many vegetable species?

[kmaherali]

Below are verses from Saloko Moto which I hope are self-explanatory.

satgur kahere: pata(n)g ek teel tol he
ane vanaspatee bhaar addhaar
te ek teel pata(n)g jalaavshe
to jal bal jaa-e bhaar addhaar re...............30

The True Guide says: The weight of a moth is equivalent to one grain of simsim, and that of a vegetable is eighteen weights. The moth which resembles a grain of simsim will afflict and burn. As a result the vegetable of eighteen weights will be drowned and burnt(destroyed).

satgur kahere: kayaa maa(n)he addhaar bhaar vanaspatee chhe
ane laage ana(n)t khelnu(n) fal
kaal krodh jutth kare aatmaa(n)
te pata(n)g jeeu(n) jalaave saar re...............31

The True Guide says: In the gross physical form (body) there are eighteen weights of vegetable, and they have the potential of reaping the fruits of unlimited mysteries. If one engages the soul in dirt, anger and falsehood, than like a moth they(evil tendencies) will burn and afflict the entire vegetable(body).

I asked the question to Abuali many years back. He gave for Bhar a number [I don't remember how many millions for 1 Bhar] He said it referred to the number of species of vegetable on earth.

Admin,
You are absolutely right, I listened a waez of Abuali and look in two different dictionaries; as per these dictionaries
1 BHAR is equal to 20,21,74000
( 20 crores, 21 lacs and 74 thousands) ( I do not know how to tell in billions and millions if any other reader know please let us know )
now 18 bhar vanaspati means
18 x 20,21,74000 =360,378,1332000 (different vegetable species as per our Great pir's ginans)
wow! science still does not tell us the total species of vegetable but our great pirs already told us in their various ginans.
The number 18 also calculate as follows
4 BHAR: gives the fruits
4 BHAR: does not give fruits
4 BHAR: thorny trees
6 BHAR: creeper, climbing plants
-------------------------
18 TOTAL BHARS
Brother Karim's translation of above posted ginan by him also right.
The above calculation taken from dictionaries; if any one does not agree then that is fine with me.

In the context of the Saloko verses mentioned earlier, ‘addaar bhaag’ could signify that the human body is intricate and complex and is composed to attain unlimited mysteries. However sins which are relatively simple can destroy it’s capacity to attain them.
