[QUOTE="chazSingh, post: 201979, member: 17409"] Ishna Ji as always i respect your views on all subject matters concerning sikhi... and i thank you for finding this wonderful amazing shabad which i have never come across before....it is very enlightening. But 1. [SIZE=5][B]you state it seems to suggest the early morning rise is useless[/B][/SIZE] to requote the verse: Those who praise the Lord in the early hours of the morning and meditate on Him single-mindedly, are the perfect kings; at the right time, they die fighting. [B]Can you clarify how Guru Ji after stating they are the perfect kings...and they die fighting...actually meant what they do is useless...very eager to understand your reasoning on this? :)[/B] 2. [B]I understand you are and have been against Amrit vela being a particular portion of the day from past threads etc. But i don't understand how you have come up to your conclusion on this shabad???[/B] Those who praise the Lord in the early hours of the morning and meditate on Him single-mindedly, are the perfect kings; at the right time, they die fighting. In the second watch, the focus of the mind is scattered in all sorts of ways. So many fall into the bottomless pit; they are dragged under, and they cannot get out again. In the third watch, both hunger and thirst bark for attention, and food is put into the mouth That which is eaten becomes dust, but they are still attached to eating. In the fourth watch, they become drowsy. They close their eyes and begin to dream Rising up again, they engage in conflicts; they set the stage as if they will live for 100 years. If at all times, at each and every moment, they live in the fear of God - O Nanak, the Lord dwells within their minds, and their cleansing bath is true. ||1|| [B]it is without doubt absolutely clear[/B], that the [B]first watch[/B] as described in the shabad is when the gurmuks are up early doing amrit vela... the [B]second watch and third watch[/B] is when the majority wake up from their sleep and their [B]minds starts working in a million directions[/B]. they get dragged under this [B]bottomless pit[/B], over eating, getting up to all sorts... then the [B]fourth watch they go to sleep and start dreaming again. and so the cycle continues.[/B] [B]BUT, for the one that is up during the first watch (Amrit Vela), they are the perfect kings...they Die Fighting...meaning...they fight the mind as it starts to drift in a million directions...they fight Ego, Lust, Anger Desire and Greed throughout the waking day whilst the rest fall into the bottomless pit. they DIE FIGHTING[/B] to me, here, on this occasion, you have just tried to bend the shabad to fit what you personally believe. Just my opinion. your thoughts please God Bless [/QUOTE]
