However, I found an article at Skhnet, which is in my opinion a good one, because it explores a variety of interpretations of the word "sehajdhari" in a scholarly fashion, citing the Sikh Gurdwara Act of 1925, and the Mahan Gosh, and other sources as well. I don't like to shoot from the hip, so I am more comfortable giving you a number of respected sources so you can weigh this for yourself.  SGPC sticks to old definition of Sehajdhari | SikhNet |
Dear Narayanjot Ji
Thanks for the article , it does frame the issue, however, I am neither seeking 'closure' nor trying to string along an argument
If Shehajdhari and Sahajdhari are the same thing, which they seem to be since you spelled it Sehajdhari, then I am definitely puzzled. Because obviously the term sehaj which is in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji does not seem to mean slow but poised, balanced and/or intuitively balanced, as several different English translations and even the Spanish translation state.
So unless I have read you totally wrong, and missperceived the whole issue, it does seem that we have a difference in meaning between what the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji says the Sehaj, and thus Sehajdhari, means and what the SGPC says it means. N'est ce pas?
Blessings
