Satlok

(सतलोक)

Literal Meaning

The realm of truth

Etymology & Sanskrit Root

'Sat' (truth, being) plus 'lok' (realm); Kabir's name for the soul's original, eternal home beyond Kaal's dominion, from which every soul is said to have descended and to which the awakened one ultimately returns.

Spiritual Insight & Context

Satlok differs from Amarlok mainly in emphasis: Amarlok stresses deathlessness, while Satlok stresses the unbroken truthfulness of that realm, contrasted with the deception (maya) that defines Kaal's domain.
