Sach Khand

Sach Khand is a term used in Sikhism to denote an individual's union with God.^[1]

Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, described a hierarchy of five spiritual levels in the Japji Sahib.^[1] The highest level in this hierarchy is known as the Sach Khand where the individual attains a mystical union with God.^[1] Before reaching the level of Sach Khand, the individual must ascend progressively through four lower levels—starting from Dharam Khand, and progressing through Gian Khand, Saram Khand, and Karam Khand.^[1]

Many Sikhs conceptualize Sach Khand not as a mystical state transcending death, but as a "heavenly abode"—a place where one's spirit goes after death.^[2]
