whatever floats your boat

Good. You are on the path.

As per Gurbani: SGGS Ang 52, 53: ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl: ਸੰਤ ਜਨਹੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਭਾਈਹੋ ਛੂਟਨੁ ਸਾਚੈ ਨਾਇ ॥ O Saints, O Siblings of Destiny, listen: release comes only through the True Name. ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਣ ਸਰੇਵਣੇ ਤੀਰਥ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਉ ॥ Worship the Feet of the Guru. Let the...

Your second sentence above contradicts your first. How did you conclude that I am finding absolutes? "Guru, Gyan, Knowledge", you have lumped all three together. Guru is not the same as Gyan or Knowledge. What's the definition of Guru? Do you know? Or are you just reducing "Guru" to...

Glad you have finally found a measure of peace in your life, Harry.

Instead of asking if the religion would lose something, it's far more practical to ask if you personally would lose something. Think of the Guru however you will. But make sure you cultivate a genuine relationship with the Guru. Guru is antarjami, he already knows your thoughts and your...

Did you ever have a job interview, or maybe an exam, or some important appointment, maybe in the city, and you had to get up really early to make sure you could make it there on time? On that day, were you late? Did you miss your appointment/interview? I'm guessing that you made it there on...

Are you for real? Your level of ignorance and arrogance is astounding. Since you really want an answer to your question, here you go: yes, you are "already late". Success is the result of hard work, perseverence and integrity. These are all traits which Sikhs possess in abundance, along with...

My recommendation is that you take some time and learn about Sikhism. Treat this project like any other class you might take in college. Take it seriously, devote some time regularly (e.g. an hour a day) and be diligent and earnest and focused, and learn about Sikhi. It is true what you state...

With regards to multiverses, from Japji Sahib Pauri 22: ਪਾਤਾਲਾ ਪਾਤਾਲ ਲਖ ਆਗਾਸਾ ਆਗਾਸ ॥ ਓੜਕ ਓੜਕ ਭਾਲਿ ਥਕੇ ਵੇਦ ਕਹਨਿ ਇਕ ਵਾਤ ॥ ਸਹਸ ਅਠਾਰਹ ਕਹਨਿ ਕਤੇਬਾ ਅਸੁਲੂ ਇਕੁ ਧਾਤੁ ॥ ਲੇਖਾ ਹੋਇ ਤ ਲਿਖੀਐ ਲੇਖੈ ਹੋਇ ਵਿਣਾਸੁ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਵਡਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਆਪੁ ॥੨੨॥ There are nether worlds beneath nether worlds, and hundreds of...

How do we know it's Raag Asa? It just says "Salok" in the Bani. Thanks, [AoG]

If Japji Sahib is poetry, then according to the above, it should also have the author/Mahalla and Raag identified, yet it doesn't. How do we reconcile this fact? [AoG]

Which poet? Is this present in Damodar's writing or Waris Shah? I couldn't find it here. Am I looking in the wrong place? Where's the source?

I tried looking for the source of these poetic lines, couldn't find the lines anywhere in here: English eBook The Love of Hir and Ranjha (Waris Shah) Unfortunately I cannot read the original (urdu?). Is there any link to the source so I can verify? [AoG]

What about these lines from Slok M:9? How would these be looked upon, in this context? (Complaint/distress/suffering?) ਬਲੁ ਛੁਟਕਿਓ ਬੰਧਨ ਪਰੇ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਹੋਤ ਉਪਾਇ ॥ My strength is exhausted, and I am in bondage; I cannot do anything at all. ਸੰਗ ਸਖਾ ਸਭਿ ਤਜਿ ਗਏ ਕੋਊ ਨ ਨਿਬਹਿਓ ਸਾਥਿ ॥ My associates and...
