[QUOTE="linzer, post: 167558, member: 13900"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]From my experience the type of people that are attracted to the 3ho type of sikhi are the ones that looking for as we say in Mexico, El Hilo Negro (the black thread) which is to say the one answer for every question, the one thing that solves every problem in their lives. Yogi bhajan told people that if you recite certain pauris of the japji a certain number of times it will bring you prosperity, happiness, whatever, depending on the pauri, if you can sing a certain shabad it will change you destiny.
