Sahaj

Natural ease: in Sikh and Sant poetry, the effortless state of union with the divine.

Also: Sahaj, sahaja

Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Sahaj means “born together” or “natural”. In the poetry of the Gurus, Kabīr and the Nāth and Sahajiyā traditions, it names the state of spontaneous, undisturbed peace that dawns when the mind rests in God. It is not produced by technique but arises when ego subsides into the Name.
