One of the important area of agreement in these is that one should kill the desire and hopes that may be the result of the ‘Nature’ the Tri Badh as is stated to be in Bani. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><strong> The Bani, which is Guru in essence, brings this enlightenment to men. It shows the way. Listening to, reciting and becoming absorbed in Bani engenders merit and helps one to overcome haumai, i.e. finite ego or selflove which hinders understanding and realization. In proclaiming the supreme holiness and majesty of God, the Bani has few parallels in literature. It contains one of the most intimate and magnificent expressions of faith in the Transcendent. It is an earnestly given testament about God`s existence and a sterling statement of a deeply experienced vision of Him. The Bani is all in the spiritual key. It is poetry of pure devotion, love and compassion. It is lyrical rather than philosophical, moral rather than cerebral. It prescribes no social code, yet it is the basis of practice as well as of the belief. It is the source of authority, the ultimate guide to the spiritual and moral path pointed by the Gurus. The form of the Bani is as sublime as is its content. It is a superb body of verse in a variety of metre and rhythm, arranged under thirtyone different musical measures. Some of the ragas employed are being discussed in the various threads that are placed on the forum these days and helps understanding the essence of the rhythm employed in Bani.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><strong> The Tri Gunas as is commonly called in he Vedantic philosophy had its origin in Vedas. There is no suitable explanation to this in the sikh philosophy and hence conclusion and guidance is obtained from these philosophies of the Hinduism that had overshadowed the eastern parts of the hemispheres when Sikhism sprouted. It is also a misconception that Bani discards Vedas. At many places we find that Vedas have been given due respect as the following would reveal.</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"> dIvw blY AMDyrw jwie ]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"> When the lamp is lit, the darkness is dispelled;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"> byd pwT miq pwpw Kwie ] </span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Reading the Vedas, sinful intellect is destroyed.[ang 791]</span></p><p>[/FONT]<span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"><span style="color: Blue"><em><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">And</span></em></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'">juig juig Awpo Awpxw Drmu hY soiD dyKhu byd purwnw ] </span><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"><span style="color: green">(797-19, iblwvlu, mÚ 3)</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Each and every age has its own essence of Dharma; study the Vedas and the Puraanas, and see this as true.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"> piqq pwvn pRB ibrdu byid lyiKAw ] </span><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"><span style="color: green">(805-7, iblwvlu, mÚ 5)</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">It is God's Way to purify sinners, say the Vedas.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"> nwmu jphu nwmy giq pwvhu isimRiq swsqR nwmu idRVeIAw ] </span><span style="font-family: 'Gurbaniwebthick'"><span style="color: green">(834-9, iblwvlu, mÚ 4)</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">So chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and through the Naam, find emancipation.

The anxiety makes the mind weak and continued anxiety is a disease that the modern world is afflicted with and may , in extreme cases, require the psychiatric treatment.How can a sick mind even think of happiness. Thus this illusive world is the cause of the mental sickness and related diseases that afflict the mind. The best cure for the mind is to remove the cause of this state of mind by eliminating the hopes and the desires so far as the worldly achievements are concerned. It is the way to achieve the state of Jeevan -Mukt or remain dead when alive. This is the first step to mental salvation to this illusive world.

Equal importance is laid on this concept as well that hopes and desires stem from the attachment and that is the root cause of various degrading passions like anger, anxiety and and anguish that has a deleterious effect on the mind. The mind that is enveloped with the hopes and desires is like an unclean slate. The mind that is not clean cannot see the reality and is debarred from attaining the supreme knowledge to which it is entitled. Mind enveloped with desires is not worthy of any knowledge as it is not a valid recipient as nothing can be received by it that can be held profitably by it. Ignorance lurks and man is put in the cycle of rebirths due to this.

One of the important area of agreement in these is that one should kill the desire and hopes that may be the result of the ‘Nature’ the Tri Badh as is stated to be in Bani. The Bani, which is Guru in essence, brings this enlightenment to men. It shows the way. Listening to, reciting and becoming absorbed in Bani engenders merit and helps one to overcome haumai, i.e. finite ego or selflove which hinders understanding and realization. In proclaiming the supreme holiness and majesty of God, the Bani has few parallels in literature. It contains one of the most intimate and magnificent expressions of faith in the Transcendent. It is an earnestly given testament about God`s existence and a sterling statement of a deeply experienced vision of Him. The Bani is all in the spiritual key. It is poetry of pure devotion, love and compassion. It is lyrical rather than philosophical, moral rather than cerebral. It prescribes no social code, yet it is the basis of practice as well as of the belief. It is the source of authority, the ultimate guide to the spiritual and moral path pointed by the Gurus. The form of the Bani is as sublime as is its content. It is a superb body of verse in a variety of metre and rhythm, arranged under thirtyone different musical measures. Some of the ragas employed are being discussed in the various threads that are placed on the forum these days and helps understanding the essence of the rhythm employed in Bani. The Tri Gunas as is commonly called in he Vedantic philosophy had its origin in Vedas. There is no suitable explanation to this in the sikh philosophy and hence conclusion and guidance is obtained from these philosophies of the Hinduism that had overshadowed the eastern parts of the hemispheres when Sikhism sprouted. It is also a misconception that Bani discards Vedas. At many places we find that Vedas have been given due respect as the following would reveal.[/B] [/FONT][FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] dIvw blY AMDyrw jwie ][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua] When the lamp is lit, the darkness is dispelled;[/FONT] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] byd pwT miq pwpw Kwie ] [/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]Reading the Vedas, sinful intellect is destroyed.[ang 791][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] [COLOR=Blue][I][FONT=Book Antiqua]And[/FONT][/I][/COLOR] juig juig Awpo Awpxw Drmu hY soiD dyKhu byd purwnw ] [/FONT][FONT=Gurbaniwebthick][COLOR=green](797-19, iblwvlu, mÚ 3)[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua]Each and every age has its own essence of Dharma; study the Vedas and the Puraanas, and see this as true.

The mind is satisfied if we have achieved as that we wished for or had hoped for else it suffers anxiety. The anxiety makes the mind weak and continued anxiety is a disease that the modern world is afflicted with and may , in extreme cases, require the psychiatric treatment.How can a sick mind even think of happiness. Thus this illusive world is the cause of the mental sickness and related diseases that afflict the mind. The best cure for the mind is to remove the cause of this state of mind by eliminating the hopes and the desires so far as the worldly achievements are concerned. It is the way to achieve the state of Jeevan -Mukt or remain dead when alive. This is the first step to mental salvation to this illusive world. However, it is very hard to realize this kind of state. [/B] [B][COLOR=DarkOrange] How to overcome the Desire and hopes[/COLOR] Bani states at many places to this effect that one should, as a first step, try to overcome the five passions also referred to as five demons.

Equal importance is laid on this concept as well that hopes and desires stem from the attachment and that is the root cause of various degrading passions like anger, anxiety and and anguish that has a deleterious effect on the mind. The mind that is enveloped with the hopes and desires is like an unclean slate. The mind that is not clean cannot see the reality and is debarred from attaining the supreme knowledge to which it is entitled. Mind enveloped with desires is not worthy of any knowledge as it is not a valid recipient as nothing can be received by it that can be held profitably by it. Ignorance lurks and man is put in the cycle of rebirths due to this. Without obtaining true knowledge one is not able to see the reality. He himself has made this illusion and everyone remains in the Trigunas and has made everyone busy by the lord. Each one is placed in 'Gunas' according to the Nature.[ Prakriti]It is HIS doing.
