[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 183063, member: 14194"] Akiva ji thanks for your post. I believe that your comment is quite valid. The actual mixture of what leads us to personal understanding of our Guru ji's teachings through Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji I am sure varies from person to person. Some are blessed to understand by just listening. Others just by reading. Many through doing or reading discourses and so on. There is no perfect way that anyone can dictate to someone else and it is all very personal. I do believe that it is quite dis-respectful of your fellow Sikhs when people take a word out of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and start manipulating how it is all of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Same if they take a pangti/line and do that as in some posts here. One cannot even take a shabad to convey the essence of totality of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I humbly suggest that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is indivisible. There is much to learn by going through more of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and as often one can even going over same part many a times. As the understanding enriches our understanding could also change versus what we may have understood in the first pass. Prof. Sahib SIngh ji makes some of the points as I listed above in his Darpan. One of the most important comment that Prof. Sahib Singh ji also makes is that "one does not read Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to prove a point or with a motive." This is a very common pitfall where one can say search srigranth.org for items like, [LIST] [*]meat [*]wine [*]conscious [*]light [*]nectar [*]........... [/LIST] - and come away with global pronouncements. It is good exercise for self but not a deductive approach to promulgate or make general pronouncements. I Appreciate your wise posts. Regards and Sat Sri Akal. [B]PS: [/B]I do also observe that the one liner, few words, one shabad pushers are cutting Sikhism at its roots by denigrating Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. When one does these things then one starts to initiate that other parts of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are somehow redundant or of lesser value/guidance. The Dehras and Babeys are notorious in doing so as they become the equivalent of fast food joints for spirituality. Recall how parchis/notes on paper are dished out at some dehras. You repeat what is on the paper and you will get a son, you will succeed in business, you will be cured of disease, etc. Nothing can be further from our Guru ji's teachings in this regard. Even though one should not judge but rather ask, it is amusing to some times observe how a given poster is pushing the lines of Dehra 1 or Baba 2. One comes to know or conjecture this by knowing a bit about such dehras and babas. Perhaps one day such will unshackle themselves and get closer to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I note that in principle no one is permanently lost as a Sikh from the greater brotherhood per teachings in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as anyone can turn towards Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji any moment in their lives.
