[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 60437, member: 35"] Respected Balbir ji Now I am beginning to understand why it is so difficult to follow your discussions. You began this thread with this statement: [B] Gurmukhi is the language of the Gurus.[/B] A number of us, taking the statement a face value engaged you in discussion, with the general consensus that Gurmukhi is not a language but a script. Then today you changed your working definition of Gurmukhi from a language to this: [B]Gurmukhi is that comes through the Mukh of the true Guru. [/B]Which differs completely from you original statement. Which in turn changes everything, and makes one wonder if you are engaging in a sneak attack of some kind, are giving us a pop quiz, or have just radically changed your mind in the middle of a discussion, and now the discussion is about something else. Thus the thread is not about what we thought it was about, and we are not where we think we are, but we are moving in a completely different direction. When you put Gur and Mukh together you arrive at Gurmukh which is not the [B]mouth [/B]of Guru ji. Here we go again with body parts. Gurmukh has a number of different meanings in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, and the idea of [I]mouth[/I] is only implied because [I]words[/I] or Bani are uttered from the mouth and only in the most literal sense. Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji uses Gurmukh in several ways. Gurmukh is Guru - [COLOR=Indigo]oan gurmukhi kio akara ekahi suti provanhara (SGGS, 250). [/COLOR] Gurmukh is someone who is admitted into the Lord’s darshan - [COLOR=Indigo] gurmukhi hari dari sobha pae" (SGGS, 1[/COLOR]25). Gurmukh is someone who faces the Guru (remains focused on God) [COLOR=Indigo]guru mukhu dekhi garu sukhu payau" (SGGS, 1400). [/COLOR] Gurmukh is someone who absorbs the Divinity of Naam. g[COLOR=Indigo]urmukhi namu sital jalu paia hari hari namu pia rasu jhik" (SGGS, 1336).[/COLOR] Gurmukh is someone who has his faced turned toward the Guru; whereas manmukh has turned his back to God. [COLOR=Indigo]gurmukhi sanmukhu manmukhi vemukhia (SGGS, 131).[/COLOR] Gurmukh is someone who rids himself of ignorance, doubt, and haumai and follows the truth in his concentration on the Shabd. [COLOR=Indigo]gurmukhi haumai sabadi jalae (SGGS, 942).[/COLOR] Gurmukh is someone who continuously meditates on the Naam of God. [COLOR=Indigo]gurmukhi sagali ganat mitavai (SGGS, 942)[/COLOR]. Gurmukh is someone who is not affected by pain and fortune because he accepts the destiny carved out by God. [COLOR=Indigo]gurmukhi parvirati narvirati pachhani (SGGS, 941). [/COLOR] You are Gurmukh when you are totally attuned to the Word of God. But isn't this Gurmat 101? Where do we go next? [/QUOTE]
