[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 190517, member: 189"] It was Donald Trum that first said all that Aristotle ji has mentioned in his post...like."its all the SAME..repetition upon repetition..blah blah blah...and then he gave up...!! It all sounds the "same" because the Theme and foundation is the same...Gurbani is all about meeting HIM and How He can be met..so when the basic plot is the same..the story does look repetitive..just the places names differ in each shabad sort of....someone reading will sooner or later end up saying.."havent i already heard that before...?? just like Trump did. SGGS contains Namdev's life experiences, Bhagt kabir jis life time experiences, ravidass Jis life time experiences..Guru sahibs experiences...and these experiences are all about Meeting HIM. OBEYING HIM, his HUKM..and all that. So essentially all the shabads by these 30 over composers are going to be the same simply because the subject the plot the storyline of their shabads is the same.. Anyone reading a copy of the Old Testament Bible Mahabharta Ramayan etc would be struck by the "boringness" of SGGS immediately. Ever wondered why there are NO "Childrens BED TIME VERSIONS..COMIC VERSIONS..etc of the SGGS...along the lines of the Bible..Mahabhrat Ramayan etc ?? A Bed time children's illustrated Bible, Comic Book version of Mahabharta, ramayan is POSSIBLE and i have seen various versions...in fact the BIBLE in a hundred versions is available..BUT there is NONE such SGGS verison...just like there cna be NO "illustrated version" of say the Philosophical works of Aristotle..or Illustarted works of Socrates...there can be no illustrated simplified version of the SGGS.. The Dr Sant Singh Khalsa version has spread over the Internet simply because of the predominance of the 3HO Yogi Harbhajan and his NETWORK...NOW the late YOGI is being exposed for what he truly was..he was never a SIKH..always a YOGI as he claimed to be but sikhs refused to see the visible !! People like GS Tohra himslef a Comrade in Sikh clothes heaped honour upon honour upon the Yogi and helped elevate him to Self styled sri singh sahib etc..when as late as 1930's the SAHIB TITLE was RESERVED for only GURU SAHIBS and no one else. Now whats happening si even more insidious..Various translations of SGGS into Various "languages" are springing up like mushrooms after a rain shower...some are simply done by "Google Translate" or various internet methods...one being attempted into Tamil and sponsored by the DGMC at a cost of a few MILLION was doen by a Tamil man who saw all the SIHAREES and AUNKADDS etc in SGGS as SUPERFLOUS and Totally UNNECESSARY. His "reanslation: would have gone by un-noticed hasd he not put hsi stupidity into direct action by actually securing an original copy fo teh SGGS and using a BLADE to CUT OUT all the so called superflous siharees and aunkadds etc to make his translation work easier !!! This act of sacrilege was seen by someone..and the hue and cry led to his exposure !! SIKHS were caught NAPPING once again...its a moot question ?? are SIKHS ever awake or perpetually SLEEPING...:faujasingh: [/QUOTE]
