But before that I have some questions for you.
1. 1.What do you mean by “Body Clock”. Whose concept is this??? Is this from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji??
2. 2.Your post tells me that you are 56 yrs of age. I’d like to know how have you been remembering the god??? By some actions or by just “PARROTING” the gurbaani??
3.
I Quote you “
Do you mean our Gurus, starting with Guru Nanak worked against the nature and did not care about our body clock with whose help our bodies work?
Do you think they would advice us to discard nature in this manner?
What would be the reason behind it if your contention is correct? Can you please shed some light on it.”
Now I ask you “ you talked about nature??? Are we working according to the nature?? By reading this comment of yours I can sense that you think “Waking up early at so called amrit wela is against the nature”. I also sense that you mean that guru sahib was against getting up early or at amrit wela??? My friend you are thinking directly opposite to guru sahib.
I quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
ਪਰਭਾਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਣ ਧਿਆਇ ਜਨਮ ਮਰਣ ਮਲੁ ਉਤਰੈ ਸਚੇ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ (sri guru arjan dev ji pg 1099)
Baba farid says in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ,pg 1383
ਫਰੀਦਾ ਪਿਛਲ ਰਾਤਿ ਨ ਜਾਗਿਓਹਿ ਜੀਵਦਡੋ ਮੁਇਓਹਿ
Farid says if you are still sleeping at the time when the night is about to finish “
ਪਿਛਲ ਰਾਤਿ” means the almost end of night, you are nothing more than a dead man. Why guru sahib included this verse in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji??? Just because guru saheb’s teachings are also the same.
SO I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU AT ALL THAT GURU SAHEB WERE AGAINST GETTING UP AT 2 a.m or amrit vela.
So this is not against the nature , this is what guru sahib told us. Now I’ll tell you why amrit vela is so important.
I’ll quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ,pg734
ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲੈ ਵਤੈ ਕਾ ਬੀਜਿਆ ਭਗਤ ਖਾਇ ਖਰਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਨਿਖੁਟੈ ਨਾਹੀ
My friend only a farmer or a jatt sikh would know that if you sow seed in the ground when its on “VATT” I don’t know the English literary meaning of “vatt” but if u sow when the soil is on vat then the growth of the plant will be maximum and it will grow. In the same manner amrit wela is the time when the soul is on “VATT” and the seed of naam can make good hold in your soul. This example is given by Guru sahib. I hope now u understand that guru sahib were not against it but they came to teach us fools.
So here not only I have explained u the meaning of the tuk or verse u asked about but I have also given you more examples from gurbaani, I have also made it clear to you that don’t keep it in your mind that guru sahib were against the nature but it is we the people who are against his nature.
The next thing now. I quote
“Aren't thinking of the family and business even in the Gurdwara which may help us give new ideas to make our family and business better parts of Miri-Piri concept of Sikhi way of life?”
I want to ask you my friend
Did you come to this world to make a good business??? Its ok that we cant live the life of sanyasis as its also forbidden in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. But if you have read the gurbaani you would not have asked me this question because its clearly mentioned in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that the aim of the man who is sent on this world is not “TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS”
What is the aim then???
Guru arjan dev ji has said “
bhai prapat manukh dehuriya,Gobind Milan ki eh teri bariya”
Now after reading this the question which should come to your mind is “How to meet with GOBIND or GOD then??” But I guess it wont. SO I’ll tell you sir,guru amardas ji says on pg 109-110
ਕਰਮੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲਾਏ llਸੇਵਾ ਸੁਰਤ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏll
It clearly means that it is not in your control to find a true guru (
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ)but if its in your fate then u’ll come across the true guru and then what will happen???
llਸੇਵਾ ਸੁਰਤ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਏll
He’ll tell u to serve the almighty , how?? By merging your surt(soul) in the naam or shabd .
Naam or shabd is no where else but in your body , within yourself. Now anyone can object me here and say, what am I talking??? Am I out of my mind?? But I’m not sayin this . Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji says this
GURU NANAK SAYS IN Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on pg 1026
ਦੇਹੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੀll
ਆਪੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਹੈ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ll
Can naam be easily obtained???
NO says guru sahib. Guru ramdaas ji says on pg 1242
ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਅਲਖੁ ਹੈ ਕਿਉ ਲਖਿਆ ਜਾਈll
But in the same shabad he says
ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਤੇ ਪਾਈਐ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਦੇਈ ਦਿਖਾਈ ll
This clearly means theat when u get the true guru or poora guru, he’ll show it to you within yourself.
