I also wonder about the Chaursi lakh joona too. Is that also a figure of speech?

IMHO...YES. 84 lakh..42 lakh on land..42 lakh in water....(sky left out..outer space also forgotten...what about other Planets..universe....or are we as egotistic as the Christians/Muslims etc who think our EARTH is the one and ONLY !!!..all ginntee minntees..numbers...to confuse and waste time...Gurbani mentions just as "figures of speech to ILLUSTRATE a CONCEPT GURU JI is trying to put across to us...)

Gurbani is about AKAL PURAKH...beyond all ginntee minntees and restrictions .
OUR ORIGIN is in AP....and the MAKSUD...the entire POINT of being HUMAN is to REJOIN AP...and GURBANI instructs us..Gobind millan ke EHH teri barreah...Human BIRTH is ONCE in a life time oppurtunity...

Imagine being given a golden chance to Sit for an all important EXAM with a LIMITED TIME SPAN to answer the questions....and we begin to spend precious time DAY DREAMING....about WHAT "all the others" OUTSIDE the Exam Hall are doing..what they did in previous janams..etc etc etc and then the Supervisor says TIMES UP..hand over your papers....and we glance down at our BLANK PAPER !!! Oh my GOD..!!!! whose fault is that ??
AP created the cows and the buffaloes and the dogs and the...whatever....it is NOT our position to "worry" about their "past janams" and crimes they committed or paaps punns etc etc and whether we are going to become dogs or cows....The IMPORTANT THING is we are NOT..cows or dogs BUT SIKHS with the precious GURBANI to do vichaar on and PRACTISE...Kirt karnee, wand chhaknna and NAAM JAPPNNA... concentrate on the EXAM PAPER....
Too simplistic ?? maybe....but i am a simple SIKH. I DO exactly WHAT my Beloved GURU ji told me to do....as best as i cna and elave the worrying to others who have the inclinations...

Ahhh...I use to wonder about the outer space thing. If there asank loa then there must also be asank jeev. Then how does Akaa Purakh limit it only to 84 lakh joon?

Thank you, Gyaniji.
