Who Are They Trying To Teach ?

[Astroboy]

Pandits and Astrologers have always played a centre stage in influencing the followers of Sanatan religion. Astrology for example has a wide acceptance level amongst the masses. But Guru Ji explains in a different way (please read full shabad) :-

Page 570, Line 19
ਪੰਡਿਤ ਜੋਤਕੀ ਸਭਿ ਪੜਿ ਪੜਿ ਕੂਕਦੇ ਕਿਸੁ ਪਹਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਪੁਕਾਰਾ ਰਾਮ ॥
पंडित जोतकी सभि पड़ि पड़ि कूकदे किसु पहि करहि पुकारा राम ॥
Pandiṯ joṯkī sabẖ paṛ paṛ kūkḏe kis pėh karahi pukārā rām.
All the religious scholars and astrologers read and study, and argue and shout. Who are they trying to teach?

Perhaps themselves, or each other?

kis peh karaeh pukara Raam..is more than just "teach".... thus the translation itself is inadequate...
who are they trying to "fool"...,Mislead...sell snake oil...by calling RaM Ram !! also fits

This is a very good Shabad , Guruji directly advises us that all these so-called Astrologers / Pandits r only into the trade of Maya , there is nothing in their hand ( no power ) to change destiny . I see more & more Sikh households falling into their trap . May God bless them this wisdom , so that they may see the commands of Guruji clearly & do not waste their time on these gimmicks .

Guru Ji met one sich famous astrologer....and hid his "money bag behind him as he sat in pretended meditation...the moment he opened his eyes..and saw his money not there..he was in a panic...GURU JI laughed and said..its behind you...HOW could YOU know the FUTURE...when you cant even find out whats behind YOUR BACK ?? This was in Hardwaar at Kurkshetar Mela when Guru ji also thre water tot eh WEST..to teach another valuable lesson...
