<blockquote data-quote="Gyani Jarnail Singh" data-source="post: 4896" data-attributes="member: 189"><p>Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh.</p><p> </p><p>Veer Ji imho that is a flawed approach. GURU NANAK jis started the SIKH religion which was a Different religion from the prevalent ones. GURBANI is for the Sikhs/by the Sikhs/of the Sikhs....therefore we cannot escape from this..by saying: "oh THAT is not for me..it is about the hindus/muslims and meant for them..."</p><p> </p><p>IF we do that and say this particular gurbani is about a "hindu" ceremony..then we will be "forced" to admit that whatever Bhagts kabir/Sheikh farid write about Hallal, etc is ONLY ADVICE TO MUSLIMS....and have "nothing to do with the meat issue in SIKHI" ??</p><p> </p><p>MOST "vegetarian" proponents USE these VERY SHABADS by Bhagat kabeer as Justification that MEAT is BANNED in Sikhi.....it is bad etc..and we should be VEGETARIANS.... ??? so where do we go from here ?? Do you get my line of argument.??</p><p> </p><p>Guur Nanak ji's famous shabad..Maas Maas Kar MOORAKH jhagrreh... is direct advice to a BRAHMIN..BUT it is MEANT for us SIKHS. Obvioulsy GURU JI could only advise "brahmins" as SIKHS were not around yet.... and "SIKHS" were not around at the JANEAU ceremony of Guru nanak Ji....so IF GURU JI is writing about this live GOAT/ MEAT at this ceremony its RELEVANCE is to SIKHS....not "BRAHMINS/HINDUS" as GURBANI is not a "hindu/brahmin" religious text..and GURU nanak ji was not writing for the Hindus/brahmins but for SIKHS...here Bhagat ji is also addressing Muslims..BUT the underlying message is relevant to SIKHS..otherwise GURU JI wouldnt have added this to Guru Granth Ji...</p><p> </p><p>Here we are also to notice that the Hallal/killing chickens etc etc is NOT about "MEAT" per se....it is about the "PRINCIPLE" of "kurbani, sacrifice" etc etc THAT are being condemned by Kabeer Ji... I have always maintained and GURU JI also showed that by example that no "GIFT" is greater than ones OWN LIFE...so IF one "loves" God so much then what is the use of offerring Him a cheap gift like a chicken/goat/cow/sheep/camel...why NOT offer Him YOUR OWN LIFE !! This is Precisely what Kabeer is QUESTIONING..meat chicken fish etc is just an example !! "SACRIFICIAL MEAT" is banned in SIKHI because of thsi underlying FLAW in the principle of kurbani sacrifice condemned in Gurbani. Since Sacrifice/kurbani/hallal/non-hallal is NOT a SIKHI thing and applicable ONLY to MUSLIMS...the REASON this shabad is admitted by GURU JI as GURBANI in GURU GRANTH is because it has relevance to SIKHS..and SIKHS henceforth Gave their OWN LIVES willingly to GOD...and we dont kill innocent chickens goats for sacrifice to GOD/ to satisfy God !!!</p><p> </p><p>We will understand this point when we read Kabir Ji emphasising on JOR - OPPRESSION..you see that the poor chicken/goat/coe w etc has NO WISH to die as a sacrifice...IT is FORCED to do our will and get its throat cut.. ? Kabir Ji is right in questioning that what type of sacriifce it is IF there is NO WILLINGNESS on the part of the one being killed ??..</p><p> </p><p>And secondly Kabir Ji is questioning who say very loudly... ALLAH IS IN "ALL" things...and then happily turn around and tie up the helpless cow and cut its throat !!! THAT is the flawed approach being questioned in Jab sabh mehn ek khudai kahet haoh TAU KION MURGEE MAREH ?? ( where in this line is there a question about KILLING and eating Chicken meat for FOOD ??..not even REMOTELY POSSIBLE to come to that conclusion..yet proponents of Vegetarianism quote this kion murgee mareh kion murgee mareh like a broken record...) The ENTIRE shabad is about SACRIFICE/KURBANI/RITUAL KILLING to make God Happy .</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniWebThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px">kbIr jIA ju mwrih joru kir khqy hih ju hlwlu ]</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniWebThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span>kab<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ee</strong></span>r j<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ee</strong></span>a j m<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span>reh<span style="color: #080088"><strong>i</strong></span> j<span style="color: #080088"><strong>o</strong></span>r kar kehath<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ae</strong></span> heh<span style="color: #080088"><strong>i</strong></span> j hal<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span>l ||</p><p><em>Kabeer, they oppress living beings and kill them, and call it proper.</em></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniWebThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px">kbIr jorI kIey julmu hY khqw nwau hlwlu ]</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniWebThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span>kab<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ee</strong></span>r j<span style="color: #080088"><strong>o</strong></span>r<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ee</strong></span> k<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ee</strong></span>e<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ae</strong></span> j<span style="color: #080088"><strong>u</strong></span>lam h<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ai</strong></span> kehath<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span> n<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span>o hal<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span>l ||</p><p><em>Kabeer, to use force is tyranny, even if you call it legal.</em></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniWebThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px">jau sB mih eyku Kudwie khq hau qau ikau murgI mwrY ]1]</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniWebThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></span>jo sabh meh<span style="color: #080088"><strong>i</strong></span> e<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ae</strong></span>k kh<span style="color: #080088"><strong>u</strong></span>dh<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span>e kehath ho tho k<span style="color: #080088"><strong>i</strong></span>o m<span style="color: #080088"><strong>u</strong></span>rag<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ee</strong></span> m<span style="color: #080088"><strong>aa</strong></span>r<span style="color: #080088"><strong>ai</strong></span> ||1||</p><p><em>You say that the One Lord is in all, so why do you kill chickens?

[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 4896, member: 189"] Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh. Veer Ji imho that is a flawed approach. GURU NANAK jis started the SIKH religion which was a Different religion from the prevalent ones. GURBANI is for the Sikhs/by the Sikhs/of the Sikhs....therefore we cannot escape from this..by saying: "oh THAT is not for me..it is about the hindus/muslims and meant for them..." IF we do that and say this particular gurbani is about a "hindu" ceremony..then we will be "forced" to admit that whatever Bhagts kabir/Sheikh farid write about Hallal, etc is ONLY ADVICE TO MUSLIMS....and have "nothing to do with the meat issue in SIKHI" ?? MOST "vegetarian" proponents USE these VERY SHABADS by Bhagat kabeer as Justification that MEAT is BANNED in Sikhi.....it is bad etc..and we should be VEGETARIANS.... ??? so where do we go from here ?? Do you get my line of argument.?? Guur Nanak ji's famous shabad..Maas Maas Kar MOORAKH jhagrreh... is direct advice to a BRAHMIN..BUT it is MEANT for us SIKHS. Obvioulsy GURU JI could only advise "brahmins" as SIKHS were not around yet.... and "SIKHS" were not around at the JANEAU ceremony of Guru nanak Ji....so IF GURU JI is writing about this live GOAT/ MEAT at this ceremony its RELEVANCE is to SIKHS....not "BRAHMINS/HINDUS" as GURBANI is not a "hindu/brahmin" religious text..and GURU nanak ji was not writing for the Hindus/brahmins but for SIKHS...here Bhagat ji is also addressing Muslims..BUT the underlying message is relevant to SIKHS..otherwise GURU JI wouldnt have added this to Guru Granth Ji... Here we are also to notice that the Hallal/killing chickens etc etc is NOT about "MEAT" per se....it is about the "PRINCIPLE" of "kurbani, sacrifice" etc etc THAT are being condemned by Kabeer Ji... I have always maintained and GURU JI also showed that by example that no "GIFT" is greater than ones OWN LIFE...so IF one "loves" God so much then what is the use of offerring Him a cheap gift like a chicken/goat/cow/sheep/camel...why NOT offer Him YOUR OWN LIFE !! This is Precisely what Kabeer is QUESTIONING..meat chicken fish etc is just an example !! "SACRIFICIAL MEAT" is banned in SIKHI because of thsi underlying FLAW in the principle of kurbani sacrifice condemned in Gurbani. Since Sacrifice/kurbani/hallal/non-hallal is NOT a SIKHI thing and applicable ONLY to MUSLIMS...the REASON this shabad is admitted by GURU JI as GURBANI in GURU GRANTH is because it has relevance to SIKHS..and SIKHS henceforth Gave their OWN LIVES willingly to GOD...and we dont kill innocent chickens goats for sacrifice to GOD/ to satisfy God !!! We will understand this point when we read Kabir Ji emphasising on JOR - OPPRESSION..you see that the poor chicken/goat/coe w etc has NO WISH to die as a sacrifice...IT is FORCED to do our will and get its throat cut.. ? Kabir Ji is right in questioning that what type of sacriifce it is IF there is NO WILLINGNESS on the part of the one being killed ??.. And secondly Kabir Ji is questioning who say very loudly... ALLAH IS IN "ALL" things...and then happily turn around and tie up the helpless cow and cut its throat !!! THAT is the flawed approach being questioned in Jab sabh mehn ek khudai kahet haoh TAU KION MURGEE MAREH ?? ( where in this line is there a question about KILLING and eating Chicken meat for FOOD ??..not even REMOTELY POSSIBLE to come to that conclusion..yet proponents of Vegetarianism quote this kion murgee mareh kion murgee mareh like a broken record...) The ENTIRE shabad is about SACRIFICE/KURBANI/RITUAL KILLING to make God Happy .
