[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 763, member: 138"] [b]Amrit Vela[/b] I am so sorry. I forgot about this post all together. May be the old age is catching up on me. As I mentioned in my first post:- Most of the religions believe that accountability is only after death, which makes one wonder that as we can take nothing with us when we die, how can we carry all the ledgers of our lives there? This concept was created by a few, sitting crosslegged on their high chairs using fear tactics so that all the ones needing brokers to seek ONE GOD would fall under their spell, which even happens now a days. [B][I]Farida, char gavaieah hund kei, char gavaieah sun,[/I][/B] [B][I]Lekha rub mangesiah, tun kerei aahoh kum[/I]?[/B] [B]Hey man, you wasted 12 hours wandering around and the other 12 by sleeping,[/B] [B]When your time for accountability comes, how would you explain what you have been upto?[/B] Here Farid ji is talking about 8 paher meaning 24 hours. A Sikh has a 'Day book' which he/she opens when they get up. The book is closed shut when we recite Soheila at night:- [B][I]Deu sajan assissirian, jei hovei sahib seu meil[/I][/B]. [B]Oh Vaheguru, give me the blessing when I meet you, in other words when my last breath is gone.[/B] So a Sikh is born ( conciously aware) when he wakes up and ready to die when he goes to bed. In Sikh life accountability is must and it should happen with every breath we take, the same way a bookkeeper keeps track of every transaction in his day book. Amrit Vela is the first transaction in our 'Day book'. Now the question arises what is Amrit Vela? In the old days, everyone used to work from dawn to dusk. So Amrit Vela became the early hours of the morning. But now we all live in different time zones. All of us have different Amrit Velas depending on where we live. Secondly, now we live in a 24 hour world where people get up at different times to do their Kirat. In Las Vegas where I live, everyone has a different Amrit Vela. In other words, Amrit Vela is when you are ready to start your day book, not any particular time of the day. I know lots of Sikhs get up at 2AM, take shower, do Nitnem and go off to sleep. Would we call this Amrit Vela? My 2 cent worth Peace & Love Tejwant [/QUOTE]
