[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 95958, member: 138"] Namjap ji, Guru Fateh. You said Let me give it a shot. I have no idea if you have read about the training of an ultra marathoner. If you have not Google is and then you will be understand my thinking better. When I used to train for marathons, it was a grueling thing. Then one day some of my mates decided to train for the ultra marathon which is also called Iron man triathlon held in Hawaii. consisting of a 2.4 mile (3.9 km) [U]swim in the open ocean[/U], 112 mile (180 km) [U]bicycling through the rugged moutains[/U] and 26.2 mile (42.2 km) marathon run. There are also other ultramarathons which consist of 120 miles runs etc etc. My friends and I started training for the Iron man Marathon. I was doing fine with my training in running and bike but swimming was not my game no matter how hard I tried. I could not swim for more than one mile. It is more to do with not learning the right techniques. It is easy to swim in a pool but very tough in the open ocean at least for me. So I gave up the training after 3 months. Although I gave up the ironman training, I continued my marathon and bicycling training. What it gave me was internal grit, determination and mind over matter when one is out of any physical strength. Now coming back to my comparison of this with Gurbani. "Bani- Shabad- Naam= Practice of Ultra Marathon of life daily Bani= Swimming in the waters of Maya. Beware of the Sharks. Shabad= Bicycling over the mountains of stumbling blocks Naam= Running to the finish line." The sad part is that we do Nitnem which includes morning 5 banis, Rehras and Sohila and then we add Sukhmani at times and also reading SGGS as part of Sehaj Paath and also sometime volunteer when our friends have Akand Paaths. All this is nothing but parroting, a transistory feel good when we are not in a hurry to sing it slowly and enjoy the moments. As Gurbani is sung or recited in a poetic way, it does have a feel good pick me up in it as anything added with music we like does. Lots of people now on the internet involved with reciting a million Chaupais. Now the question becomes what are the concrete changes and results of doing all this? How many of us really study Gurbani and practice it in our lives? Coming back to my ultra marathon comparison once again, all that training brings physical and mental changes and they are visible in the physique and also in the behaviour. They go hand in hand. Only by exerting phsyically we can make our mind stronger. Our mental health does depend on our physical fitness. No matter how much Paath we parrot for how many years, if we are not physically fit we will not see the change. Now the argument from someone in the forum may say how about those who are handicap? Well. my answer to them is that mentally strong handicap people do not use that as an excuse but as a challenge. One can Google and find their inspiring stories all over. The idea of studying Gurbani is to become mentally stronger so we can breed goodness within to be shared by all. Gurbani- as you know it very well and would like you to post the Shabads where it has- TUN & MUNN together- and let's read and study those Shabads then my comparison will become more nitid to all. So in other words, I need your help with the Shabads with Tun & Munn in them so we can start our Grumatl aerobic and anaerobic exercise in the forum.:-) Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
