[QUOTE="Archived_member2, post: 21322, member: 259"] Satsriakal to all and Kharkoo4life Ji! Thanks for the great references from Gurbani. The word 'chatsaal' comes once in Gurbani. [FONT="GurbaniLipi"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="DarkOrange"]sqsMgiq siqgur ctswl hY ijqu hir gux isKw ][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] "satsangat satgur chatsaal hai jit hari gun sikhaa." SGGS page 1316-7 The true company of Sat Guru is the school where virtues of Hari are learned. The word school (chatsaal) could be misunderstood easily when explained your way ". . . but it more important that the person actually first takes time to read gurbani, read Sikh history and understand the basic concepts of gurmat. Once they attain this strong base and foundation of the fundamentals of Sikhi then by all means they should be encouraged to partake in amrit ceremony." The impression was raised here, in my view, that visiting a missionary school is like visiting the Sat Guru. It is appreciable to mention quotes from Gurbani with Ang. I could not find this quotation in Gurbani. [FONT="GurbaniLipi"][COLOR="DarkOrange"][SIZE="3"]gurmuK drsn dyKxw iCAdrsx prsx n srcY][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] Gurmukhs behold the Guru's school and put no faith in six Schools (of Indian tradition). Please cite where our Gurus have mentioned this and which word you have translated here Guru's school. You wrote further "The average person spends 12-20 years of formal schooling attaining academic knowlege but how much time do we spend in the school of gurmat studying and learning gurbani? My attempt was merely to show the gross disparity in our everyday lives between our focus on studying gurbani vs. ordinary material." Please provide a reference where our Gurus have asked us to study Gurbani and Gurmat. I will be grateful. -------------- You started explaining the second point with these words "The practice of Sikhi does not begin with the attainment of some ordinary certificate or degree. The practice of Sikhi begins the day we begin to question the purpose of our lives. The day we begin to question who is god and how can we meet him. The day we begin to try and make efforts to become better human beings and make this world a more loving, tolerant place is the day the practice of Sikhi begins." Does Sikhi begins with the attainment of some special certificate or degree? Is it true that the practice of Sikhi begins the day we begin to question the purpose of our lives, to question who is God and how can we meet him, to try and make efforts to become better human beings and make this world more loving, tolerant place? Please refer one Vaak from Gurbani to support your statement. You also wrote "This whole world is the creation of God and the Creator resides within it everywhere. And the Creator Himself is the embodiment of the Truth. Thus pursuit of Truth, (i.e. pursuit of God) is occuring all the time all around us." I request you to explain why the pursuit of Truth (God) is occurring all the time all around us when HE resides within it everywhere? You referred a wonderful Vaak from Guru Amardas Ji. [FONT="GurbaniLipi"][COLOR="DarkOrange"][SIZE="3"]Awpy cwtswl Awip hY pwDw Awpy cwtVy pVx kau Awxy [/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] aapay chaatsaal aap hai paaDhaa aapay chaatrhay parhan ka-o aanay. SGGS page 552-18 He Himself is the school, He Himself is the teacher, He Himself is the student, who comes to be taught. May I ask if God as school is the same as the schools we build? -------------- In your third point you wrote ". . . Sikhi doesnt stop simply with doing paath, or taking amrit. It continues our whole lives." I feel Sikhi doesn't start simply with doing Paath, or taking Amrit. Sikhi starts by receiving JAP as Gurprasaad from the Sat Guru. It continues our whole lives. My hearty thanks are to you for giving me and many your company in this Satsang. Love. Balbir Singh [/QUOTE]
