[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 197921, member: 16886"] Allow me to elaborate a little further with regards to how the depth of interpretation has no limits....... [I][B][COLOR=darkred]Gurbani is agam agadh bodh ([FONT=Raavi]ਅਗਮ[/FONT] [FONT=Raavi]ਅਗਾਧਿ[/FONT] [FONT=Raavi]ਬੋਧਿ[/FONT])[/COLOR][/B][/I] [I][B][COLOR=darkred]A treasure of immeasurable depth and limits. It is unlimited, infinite, all powerful.[/COLOR][/B][/I] With one's progress and increase in spirituality, you begin to see the deeper meanings. Literal interpretations are not always wrong, but eventually you can begin to see the importance with the deeper interpretation. Looking at the above pangtees and getting a little deeper....I can currently see that 3 slightly different meanings are there... with each one getting a more deeper... there is obviously more depth which I can not yet comprehend. [B][COLOR=darkred]The 1st line...[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=darkred][B][I]Faer K Agai Rakheeai Jith Dhisai Dharabaar...[/I]......[/B][B]Question is....

[I]Therefore, Amrit vela in your life is ALL those moments that are NOT your ''ant kaal''.[/I] All those moments where you are alive and fresh, the early hours of morning, the early years of life.- since when you may be old and frail... you are towards the later hours of the day so to speak...............Basically, the day, the early hours, dawn, midday,dusk, evening..etc... can not just represent 24 hrs, but they can also represent your phases of life. We all know, that many of our babey and bibis, near or after retirement age, decide that it's time to earn the wealth of naam, take amrit, start rehat, nitnem...etc.... BUT Guruji is also saying...''Start this contemplation and simar in the early days of life as in morning of day when you are not old and frail..as in the latter part of the day'' [B]Amrit vela is the younger part of the day and also the younger age of our being.[/B] This is the deeper meaning and answer with reference to [B]((3))... [/B]doing the actions ''[I]When'[/I]' in your life. NOTE-When child is younger, then their mind is also fresh and cleansed, as it has not been exposed to as much filth....so AGE is considered amrit vela. Also, when one is in jawani (before age 45 or so), then one still has that same gabru-hood energy and doesn't get tired as easily when trying to simar,contemplate and do selfless seva...etc.. compared to when after age 50, you will get fatigued much easily and need to frequent washroom! Amrit vela hours are when you can be the most spiritually productive and this can also be in the physical company of sadh sangat..let's say for 2 hours/day....Those 2 hours can help invoke and make all your 24hrs a productive amrit vela. NOTE- don't get me wrong,, I'm not talking about kala afghana-missionary nonsense of denying amrit vela ! Amrit Vela is simply what you, yourself make it. There is no concrete set times,,,as if you don't do the practical before 4am, then there is no point!...nothing like that, but you have to realise and find it for when it is appropriate. BIG QUESTION will be [I].....''What if you are old and frail and never did any simran, contemplation in your active able years........and now you have no energy to sit, focus or even think straight??''[/I] [I]''What is your fate going to be then???''[/I] [I]This answer is also in the next pangtee..... that it's never too late, but you can make your vela right now as [/I] [I]his nadar/grace is the final deciding factor. Even if your effort of simran be miniscule and small due to very late start,...his grace can still get you through that door![/I] Moving on to next pangtee.........

By His Grace, the Gate of Liberation is found.[/COLOR][/B][/I] Karamee aavai kaparaa... is also about doing deeds of seva and getting that roop in the robe. for eg... I remember hearing a katha about how 3rd Guru did 12 years seva of Sri Guru Angad Dev ji, and he got the kaphra of prem and divine love....Again,, this is about the answer in [B]((2))...[/B]which is the present and the now. The literal translation is talking about [B]((1)),, [/B]of you getting this human life...... the past, previous, unknown and not to be worried about.... sikhi is unconcerned about previous deeds and paaps, because they are NEVER going to get you to his Door/duar. BUT saying that, neither are the deeds, karam and actions of the present guaranteed you entry ! The [B]mokh duar[/B]... which is when you are free from the 9 doors and go through his door and darbar by his grace. If his nadar takes you there, then he will open it, no matter what capacity your good deeds excel at and your paaps diminish...... it's ALL in his control, his darbar, his door, his grace......
