[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 7509, member: 10"] Dear Khalsa Ji, Now we have reached the 24th Pauri of Anand Sahib. What I understand from it, here through this post, I share with you all. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]1. [/font][/size][color=maroon][font=WebAkharThick]siqgurU ibnw hor kcI hY bwxI ] [/font][/color][font=Tahoma][size=3]sa[u]t[/u]guroo binaa hor kachee hai ba[u]n[/u]ee. [/size][/font] Without the Satguru, the Banee is not ripe (not fit for assimilation). [b][u]My understanding[/u]:[/b] In this sentence Guru Sahib conveys a lot to me. Guru is the one who teaches a person. During the lifetime of our Gurus, Guru Sahibs themselves were the Gurus. In my context, Sri Guru Granth Sahib is my Guru. What the term Satguru means in my context, I have to understand. My mental deliberations on this issue tell me that the essence of the teachings of my Guru - Sri Guru Granth Sahib - is the Satguru for me. When I fully realise the entire essence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, then only the Satguru is realised. When the essence has been realised, the Guru leaves and ‘The Sat’ remains. With this understanding, I approach to learn the meaning of sentence under study. It is clear. Guru Sahib tells me that the Banee is not ripe for assimilation unless it’s essence, the truth, the learning is fully understood and realised in one’s own being. Till I reach that stage, the Banee is Kachee. Just see the sentence, it is a combination of word, which has a literal meaning. That is how it will look to any new comer. When we live with it and look for the meaning contained in it, a different picture starts emerging. The sentence ceases to be just a text; it becomes a realisable learning. When I reach this stage of true understanding, the Banee becomes Pakky for me. Here you see the way Guru Sahib has conveyed his message. Guru Sahib has used an analogy. The Banee was, is and will always remain the same, but transformation is taking place in me. From the literal meaning, I am going beyond, I am realising the deeper meaning. In fact, maturity is dawning on me, the Banee was always there as it is and so it will be. Changes are taking place in me, in my understanding of it, and not in the Banee. Guru Sahib who knew the relative nature of this world has used this element to convey the message to me. Till I remain spiritually immature the same Banee remains Kachee (not ripe) for me. When I become spiritually mature, the same Banee becomes Pakky (ripe) for me. This maturity brings with it a new way of looking at the Banee. This is the stage at which the essence, the truth, the element of learning contained in Banee can be realised. Banee remains as it is. It is my spiritual evolution, my maturity, my understanding of it, that makes it Kachee or otherwise. Wah-e-Guru [size=3][font=Times New Roman]2.

[/size][/font] The individual recite ‘Har’ ‘Har’ (the appellation for the God) every day, speaks about the joy of it, but does not understand it. [b][u]My understanding[/u]:[/b] Guru Sahib instructs me on the futility of ritualistic Jaap. Guru Sahib tells me that praising ‘The Sat’ and mechanically doing Jaap every day is meaning less unless one has understood the spiritual meaning in it. Guru Sahib this way cautions be about the pitfall. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]5.

[/font][/size] The person, whose consciousness is seduced by Maya, is the one who speaks of the ritualistic practices as the way. [b][u]My understanding[/u]:[/b] Guru Sahib in a very forthright way tells me that rituals are not the way for spiritual evolution. People who are under the spell of Maya and cannot see the truth suggest this way. During the lifetime of our Guru Sahibs, a large section of the population of this land followed the ritualistic way for spiritual ends. This again is a very prudent caution from my Guru Sahib to protect me from any pitfall. [size=3][font=Times New Roman]6.

[b][u]My understanding[/u]:[/b] Guru Sahib says that without true understanding the Banee becomes false and ceases to be fit for assimilation in one’s being. Wah-e-Guru. With this I close my post on 24th Pauri of Anand Sahib. Please keep in mind my understanding is in my own context where the Guru for me is Sri Guru Granth Sahib. With love and respect for all.
