[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 188702, member: 138"] Ishna ji, Guru Fateh. First of all I want to congratulate you for your understanding of the Shabad with which I happen to agree. I must admit that I am no expert in Gurbani but I will give it a shot. Death is the fear that most of the religions have instilled in their followers. Hence the fear of hell, lake of fire etc etc are thrown at the followers by the men who claim to have direct link to some deity. That is why people call themselves God fearing rather than God loving. In fact I wrote a piece about that some years ago from Sikhi view point,” Are we God fearing or God loving”? Sikhi is opposite to that. It teaches us to embrace death by living life at its full potential. My thoughts are in [COLOR="Navy"]Blue.[/COLOR] The following Shabad starts on page 20: ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥ Sirīrāg mėhlā 1. Siree Raag, First Mehl: ਮਰਣੈ ਕੀ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਨਹੀ ਜੀਵਣ ਕੀ ਨਹੀ ਆਸ ॥ Marṇai kī cẖinṯā nahī jīvaṇ kī nahī ās. I have no anxiety about dying, and no hope of living. [COLOR="Navy"]One who is in consonance with Ik Ong Kaar is not worried about death nor about living a very long (eternal) life.[/COLOR] Here is the verse you wanted to be explained: ਮੁਇਆ ਜਿਤੁ ਘਰਿ ਜਾਈਐ ਤਿਤੁ ਜੀਵਦਿਆ ਮਰੁ ਮਾਰਿ ॥ Mu▫i▫ā jiṯ gẖar jā▫ī▫ai ṯiṯ jīvḏi▫ā mar mār. To reach your True Home after you die, you must conquer death while you are still alive. [COLOR="Navy"]Even before dying, the person is fearful about death knowing quite well that it is inevitable.[/COLOR] Sant Singh Khalsa has added TRUE to home on his own, whereas "home" here means, "The last place". Here are some more examples from Gurbani. They are one liners just because of the subject being discussed Guru Arjan says in the following on page 296: ਪੰਨਾ 296, ਸਤਰ 19 ਮਰਣੁ ਮਿਟੈ ਜੀਵਨੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਬਿਨਸਹਿ ਸਗਲ ਕਲੇਸ ॥ Maraṇ mitai jīvan milai binsahi sagal kales. Conquer death and obtain eternal life; all your troubles will depart. [COLOR="Navy"]Once one conquers the fear of death, one actually begins to relish life.[/COLOR] Here Guru Amardas says here about the fear of death on page 555 ਮਰਣੈ ਤੇ ਜਗਤੁ ਡਰੈ ਜੀਵਿਆ ਲੋੜੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਇ ॥ Marṇai ṯe jagaṯ darai jīvi▫ā loṛai sabẖ ko▫e. The world is terrified of death; everyone longs to live. [COLOR="Navy"]The whole world is terrified of death. Everyone is looking for the elixir to live for ever. [/COLOR] I hope this clears things a bit. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
