Though living in the body, Baba Sri Chand Ji Maharaj had conquered all the three bodies-the three sheaths:

• Gross, the material
• Subtle
• Casual

He was conqueror of the three states of life:

• Waking state
• Sleeping state (with dreams)
• Dreamless sleep

And was always established in Turia state

He was the conqueror of all the three Gunas of Prakirti

• Tamo Gun
• Rajo Gun
• Sato Gun

He was the conqueror of all the three worlds:

• Maat Lok
• Par Lok
• Brahm Lok

He thus lived as Gunatita. He was neither subject to Nature nor its three modes. He lived in this world totally unattached as Lotus-Flower on Water.

He proclaimed with a thunder that Sri Guru Nanak Sahib was the Light Eternal shining in every heart, that all Rishis and Munis meditated on Sri Guru Nanak Sahib's Lotus Feet and that Sun and Moon act as Jots in the Holy Aarta of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib.
