Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakaal!
Dear all and Sikh80 Jee!
Quote from your post #31 of this thread "Regarding your observation that Guru sahibs have not said so, the entire thread is full of quotes from SGGS ji."
Perhaps it is the misleading translation. The entire thread is full of those.
The true Guru's Vaaks is ever original Truth.
Quote "Still if you need you may go thru. the 'tuks' as provided.
Naam jap, simran,meditation, Going to Gurudwara and listening to HIS praises are to develop Love for HIM."
Thank God, the true Guru's Vaaks are developing Love for HIM, not fear. I have heard preachers trying to develop fear in listeners.
Does the Guru help developing love but God wants people to live in fear? Are they working against one another?
Quote from your post #32 of this thread "I am providing the following Lines of SGGS ji as a proof as to we should have Fear Of Almighty as an essential ingredient. I do remember that in some of my thread you have quoted this as 'Bakwaas'."
Thanks for referring the wonderful Vaaks from Gurdev.
Bau Kwxw pIxw AwDwru ] (151-11, gauVI, mÚ 1)
Let the Fear of God be your food, drink and support.

I feel the wrong translation may incite blunders. So is the case with the above translation that is Bakwaas.
Bhao eating and Bhao drinking are idiomatic expressions. Those express the opposite meanings. Bhao Khaanaa (eating) means to have fear. Bhao Peena (drinking) means getting rid of fear.
Are the readers sure Bhao means fear like the translators? In my observation, today's Sikh is a translated Sikh, not the true Guru's Sikh.
