[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 177097, member: 189"] Beautifully explained spnadmin ji... Gurbani tells us.."IF just BATHING...made us clean spiritually..then All the FISH..all the FROGS...etc would be more cleaner spiritually than any of us..." Gurbani tells us that..IF Going naked made us more spiritual (Hindu sadhus called nangeh sadhus go naked for life)....then ALL the Deers, the elephants, dogs, cattle, camels, tigers etc etc would be way MORE spiritual than us because they are way more "naked" than us... Gurbani tells us..That IF "Fasting" made us more spiritual..then many hundreds of thousands go HUNGRY on a regular basis..those poor beggars would be way more spiritual than us who eat our fill daily...( many animals HIBERNATE for periods as long as 6 months during which they never EAT at all ) SO YES...Gurbani doesnt "FORBID"...in so many words..it just ADVISES us..of the follies of all these rituals..being followed blindly...Back in the days of the Gurus..water sources were SCARCE...and many were actually CONTROLLED by HIGH CASTES..and the Lower castes were actually FORBIDDEN form ever going to those water sources/wells/sarovars under pain of DEATH/serious punishments...The GURUS constructed Saarovars for ALL..dug wells baolis etc for ALL...to create EQUALITY which Gurmatt promotes...back then it was DUSTY travelling for weeks on foot...a bath in the sarovar was a dire necessity..today we come in AC cars direct from home without setting foot outside...and after a leisurely hot water bath form the house...no necessity to bath in the sarovar !!! Back then FOOD was also scarce..Gurus provided Parshaad..Langgars for ALL...todya most OVER FED SIKHS catually AVOID Kaarah parshaad due to cholestrol/ghee/diabetes etc...and take langgar in small amounts for same reasons....( I remeber as a small boy my dad cooking 18KG Ghee Karrah Parshaad and people would open up BOTH PALMS for a HUGE SERVING..and take two or more servings later..TODAY even for a Maximum Crowd..the Ghee is never more than 2 KG...and the KP is cooked on a kitchen stove in small krrahi.....the 18KG karrahi my dad used to use can accomodate a full grown Man !!...How Times CHANGE....GURBANI is LOGICAL..PRACTICAL..FOR ALL TIME and all places...use its advise LIBERALLY !!!
