[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 202573, member: 2709"] Chaz Ji I think the whole of SGGS is geared towards the audience of the time - Hindus and Muslims. The whole text is full of references to Hindu and Muslim modes of thinking and worship. It's like a giant rebuttal to those methods, while also putting forward its own philosophy. And I didn't say it was geared towards the audience back then [B]only[/B]. The more one learns about Hindu religions, the more insight one can get from the examples Guru Sahib was giving. Here is just one small example from Sohila, on panna 13: [INDENT][B][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81']ਰਾਗੁ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%86%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%BE']ਆਸਾ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%B2%E0%A8%BE']ਮਹਲਾ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%A7']੧ [/URL]॥[/B] [I]Rāg āsā mėhlā 1.[/I] Raag Aasaa, First Mehl: [B][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9B%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%85']ਛਿਅ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%98%E0%A8%B0']ਘਰ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9B%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%85']ਛਿਅ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81%E0%A8%B0']ਗੁਰ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9B%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%85']ਛਿਅ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%89%E0%A8%AA%E0%A8%A6%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B8']ਉਪਦੇਸ [/URL]॥[/B] [I]Cẖẖi▫a gẖar cẖẖi▫a gur cẖẖi▫a upḏes.[/I] There are six schools of philosophy, six teachers, and six sets of teachings.
