If I have the wrong end of the stick, someone please let me know!

[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 133635, member: 12855"] G Singh Ji, I have been pondering over your essay for sometime. The beauty of poetry is that it can be interpreted in many ways including literally or metaphorically. I am posting one of the shabads you took a tuk from and presenting an alternate understanding as I don't think things are written in black and white. If I have the wrong end of the stick, someone please let me know!
