[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 124329, member: 35"] ballym ji The shabad below conveys a complex message. But in my eyes it seems to fit well with much of the discussion. It seems to me anyway that Guru Nanak ji is talking about taking a different direction in our journey to find an inner truth. Religion in the sense of one of its earlier meanings. [I] ORIGIN Middle English (originally in the sense [life under monastic vows] ): from Old French, or from Latin religio(n-) ‘obligation, bond, reverence,’ perhaps based on Latin religare ‘to bind.’[/I] The word religion suggests to re-unite, to link or bind ourselves once again to something that resides within us. It might even make sense to discuss individual tuks within the shabad. It is easy to jump to conclusions, but in the overall context of the shabad Guru Nanak may be sketching out a path that understands "union" as a bridge away from regrets over our past misdeeds into a different life-style. This new life style may or may not necessarily take the form of traditional, organized religious practice.
