Sach Khand is the home of the Nirankar, the Truth, where we experience and unite with the Divine,
where atma merges with the Parmatma and where light mingles with light.
In it exist Khand, Mandal, and Brahmand, from here the Saach sustains and nurtures the entire
creation.

Sach Khand is not a region, nor is it a spatial entity. It is the Ultimate end and the purpose of
human existence. It is a state of mind. It is the Sikh Spiritual destiny accompanied by complete
bliss or Vismaad.
It can best be described as an experience of the Infinity, and unity with the Divine - where Atma
merges in the Parmatma- and where light mingles with light.

According to Guru Nanak further description of Sach Khand is unfeasible.

Now the question is how do we achieve this?
After Truthful living and performing Karam in the Dharam Khand,
After acquiring true knowledge which destroys all limitations, ego, prejudices, in the Gyan Khand,
After chiseling, ones surt, mat, man, budh, and sudh in the Saram Khand,
After being graced by Parmatam Bal in the Karam Khand,
Only then does one become eligible to enter Saach Khand.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji, in Pauri 38, very beautifully and metaphorically summarizes all the five stages
and specifies the prescription for obtaining Salvation. One must restrain evil thoughts and
instincts, become patient and humble, develop higher understanding and knowledge; practice
discipline, true devotion, and love for God. This is the instruction for reaching Saach Khand.
Only those who receive His Nadar can practice the above, and can transform the human clay into
gold.
