Many times I get into discussions regarding Kayse and Turban. So far I have not received any convincing argument. Gurbani States: Preet ik siun kiya aan duvidah Jaye, Bhanven Laambe Kayse kar Bhaven Dharar Munday. Keeping this statement in mind what is your opinion.

Mind you there is no other source of true knowledge than that of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. At lest this is my opinion.

Its a couplet by Kabir I have to look up Ang.

eropa ji

Would you please give us the Ang for this tuk, and the full shabad.

I do not find any tuk in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that begins with preet ik siun kiya. However your transliteration may be leading me off track. We need the Gurmukhi.

Once we have that we can better discuss the meaning as per Gurmat. Thank you.

Either join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, or sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||28||

kabeer marathaa marathaa jag mooaa mar bhee n jaaniaa koe ||
Kabeer, dying, dying, the whole world has to die, and yet, none know how to die.


----------------

Now we have it, but the line starts a different way, and the transliteration is quite different throughout.

ਕਬੀਰ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਇਕ ਸਿਉ ਕੀਏ ਆਨ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਜਾਇ ॥
kabeer preeth eik sio keeeae aan dhubidhhaa jaae ||
Kabeer, when you are in love with the One Lord, duality and alienation depart.


ਭਾਵੈ ਲਾਂਬੇ ਕੇਸ ਕਰੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਘਰਰਿ ਮੁਡਾਇ ॥੨੫॥
bhaavai laanbae kaes kar bhaavai gharar muddaae ||25||
You may have long hair, or you may shave your head bald.


in the future please post the shabad as it is your responsibility under TOS. Not to leave it to forum admins to do this for you.

Re: Significance of Kesh (Kaes)

Kabeer through these line is ridiculing the prevalent practice of matted (unhygeinic hair) and complete rodo modo a means followed during his period by Jattadhari yogies, Jains for assimilating with God. It is not related with natural growth of beard and hair on head but converting them into filthy state. We will not find a single bhagat or devote (like bhats) who were either rodo modo or jattadhari yogi whose baani is incorporated in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.Those who argue that 5K is a means of assimalting with God, this pankti can apply to them. Five K is the identification code allocated by Guru Gobind Singh Ji for protector of truth. It is not a passport for merger. Yes 5K give us boost and or energy to live in honor and protect ourselves ready made in case we are trapped in a situation like 1984 and many other situation where I have witneess innocent were lynched.

I take this shabad as its the word of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji which does not ridicule anyone rather compels me to question false practices that may be part my beliefs that does not stand up to any rationale with reasons. If Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is ridiculing "unhygienic" hair than its also ridiculing "non hygienic "completely shaved hair as well in the same shabad.

Does "truth" requires any protection? Do the five Ks represent those who comprehend and submit to truth and practice it in their daily lives without any regard for profit or loss, pleasure or pain, praise or insult, or merely protect the truth without knowing and understanding it?

Is it the power of "Gyan" that guides us through turbulence, just like a "Kamal" which remains above water weather the water is clear or murky, or the 5ks? Could "Gyan" be achieved without 5ks or a person can be a Gyani without 5ks? Does 5ks require any pursuit like "Gyan" does?

Sir, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is ridiculing the practice of converting God gifted beautiful hair into stink and also removing and throwing His Gift in the dust bin as a means of merger with Him. Jain way of removing hair by hand is also stink. Gurbani tells us ik jaini ujad paey dhuru khavaeya Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 1285.7

Does "truth" requires any protection? Do the five Ks represent those who comprehend and submit to truth and practice it in their daily lives without any regard for profit or loss, pleasure or pain, praise or insult, or merely protect the truth without knowing and understanding it?
[/quote] Yes treasure of baani requires protection. Flying of Nishan Sahib at a place signifies presence of Guru Granth Sahib. It stays up all the time as opposed to flag of a nation or state which comes down at the sunset. The Nishan Sahib is never flown at half mast either. The devotees or lover of truth make a parikarma of the Nishan Sahib alongwith the Guru Granth Sahib as a mark of reverence - a committment towards acceptance of TRUTH and protection of our 'peu dadeh da khaazana' treasure of baani. This further establishes in order to live with honor and protect treasure of baani where there is bhakti there must be shakti too. When Guru Arjan Dev was in captivity and under the cruelest torture, the only solution revealed to him was to metaphorephose the community into a determined and dedicated force. His last message to his son Hargobind was to 'sit fully armed on the throne and maintain an army to the best of his ability.' In the succesion ceremony, Guru Hargobind was adored with two swords. Then Guru declared that two swords signified Miri and Piri, Shakti and Bhakti, Teg and Deg. One symbolized temporal power, the other spiritual power, one to smite the oppressor, the other to protect the innocent. Thus in Guru Ghar the mundate and spiritual power stood mingled. Thus if you are not safe how could you maiantain your dignity and or achieve gian.

Is it the power of "Gyan" that guides us through turbulence, just like a "Kamal" which remains above water weather the water is clear or murky, or the 5ks? Could "Gyan" be achieved without 5ks or a person can be a Gyani without 5ks? Does 5ks require any pursuit like "Gyan" does? [/QUOTE]
