[QUOTE="Admin, post: 108225, member: 1"] Gnomics brings us closer to Sikhs’ understanding about the importance of ‘Sabad. But its study is rare, as also the realisation that the Truth through contemplation as practised by Guru Gobind Singh, the Master of Eternal life, is the only way to thought-less thought. Genesis of Human history and culture teaches us that every society expresses need for control of human emotions and allows recognition in some artistic, ethical and thoughtful ways. We call them cultural characteristics and heritage. Nature of mind is to wander from one object to another, making human mind mercurial. Experiences accumulated over generations have invented devices to decipline the mind, as the mind is prone to distractions; hence the tendency of mind is compared with monkey-like habits. Flickering faith is useless which leads to one’s downfall, and strong faith saves from death. How can a faithless mind define the Timeless and Infinite being who is the source and ultimate cause for everything? We know that not only indivisuals but nations and civilizations have their period of growth and dominance, prior to decline and oblivion. We often listen - helplessly - to the shortening the breath of our near and dear ones. Death may come as a thief, or it may approach slowly, or after ample warning, but come it must; the only way to escape is to realise the truth in order never to be born again. It is our ultimate destiny to realise the Truth. Sikhism advocates ‘Naam-simran’ for all mankind as the means to attain Divine Knowledge, the Self realization at ‘Finite and Infinite’ levels of Creation. The philosophy behind naam-simran is projection of pure, positive word, or Sabad, which leads human soul to libration. Silent repetition of Wahiguru, Satnam or a Hymn, is a tonic and a potent remedy for all psychosomatic diseases. Naam simran restores human happiness, generic health, and elemental wisdom. New gene-minded convolutionists have come to believe that human mind disposes of the sets of gnomes to make genetical evolution possible; that mind produces both negative (or unhealthy) and positive (or healthy) waves, and intelligence existed long before the genetic information of life was encoded. Human genes make possible the development of consciousness whose basic element could be Ethereal (Akas) whereas our ancient philosophy of the Divine Word already utilised ‘subtle sound power’ in practice of Japa-yoga. During the course of Naam-simran, subtle Word-power influences our DNA which further influences human anatomy and physiology. In our view, new evolutionists have - unwillingly - strengthened the need for Naam Simran by admitting that organism in addition to its own self is genomising in the self-actualisation, its kin. This takes place more effectively along with sound-wave-power, moving through the conscious which constitutes the Self. Though new evolutionists did not put forward any such ‘Unique gene’ yet their honest apprach has reinforced our faith in "UNITY OF MANKIND". There is no molecular support for racial distinction among human groups. Genes are important, but their story is incomplete. It is necessary to have a clear idea of humanism based on human life and values, as the Gurus did: ‘I perceive Thy form in all life and light I realise Thy power in all spheres and sight.’ - Guru Nanak: Asa, Chaupadas-8 One cannot attain true wisdom by means of argument: To define its assence is too hard a task. One wins it by the grace of the Lord. Clever devices, volitions are useless all.’ Guru Nanak Asa-di-var (4.2) According to Sikhism, Naam Simran is a mystic formula, a way out from the worries and sorrows of the world; to many it brings miracles, a little practice has change several lives. Man learns to discriminate between good and evil himself. Naam is a path when adopted for spiritual realization. Guru Nanak equates Naam with the Truth. Naam is the ultimate symphony and creation and the Ideal set before man. By practicing on the Gurus Sabad man’s ego melts away. Gurbani says: By dwelling on the Word, one thinks of service to the community He practices contemplation, self-control and temperance by overcoming his ego; He becomes emancipated in life on listening to Word. And attains the ever-lasting joy through truthful conduct. A seeker must contemplate – in Sabad-Vichar and understand the bani in the right context. There is no place for an egoist approach or I-am-ness of man. Waheguru alone is God, His will must pervail. He is wielder of His Will. Man is exhorted to recognize his divine origin, as Gurbani says: "Know your essence, man! You embody the very light of the Lord." - Guru Amardas [B][I][COLOR=#ff00ff]Gulshan Jeet Singh, Dehradun [/COLOR][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
