[QUOTE="Archived_Member4, post: 90992, member: 6184"] [b]re: Dancing In Tune With Gurbani[/b] By your question you imply God does everything then Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji should not have fought the Mughul army because God was killing the Hindus and Sikh. Your question leads no where and proves nothing. Gurbani is never maya. Your mind might see it this way for whatever reason, but the Shabad Guru is purely the Truth. This doesn't even have to be discussed any person that reads Gurbani can see clearly, that Guru ji never calls Gurbani maya. Here's a Hukamnama from Dec. 12/08. [CENTER][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]SORAT’H, NINTH MEHL:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER] [COLOR=blue]That man, who in the midst of pain, does not feel pain, who is not affected by pleasure, affection or fear, and who looks alike upon gold and dust; || 1 || Pause || Who is not swayed by either slander or praise, nor affected by greed, attachment or pride; who remains unaffected by joy and sorrow, honor and dishonor; || 1 || who renounces all hopes and desires and remains desireless in the world; who is not touched by sexual desire or anger — within his heart, God dwells. || 2 || That man, blessed by Guru’s Grace, understands this way. O Nanak, he merges with the Lord of the Universe, like water with water. || 3 || 11 || ang 633[/COLOR] Here Guru ji is telling us not to be affected by pain or pleasure. Keep the mind still.

Does this line not come in Japji Sahib. How many people actually read it! What have you conquered when you dance to sounds of maya! Gurbani stills the mind and keeps it in a relaxed state where it is not affect by pain or pleasure. Single mindly read Gurbani and you'll understand what I am saying otherwise I know your answers, its sometimes i feel pain or pleasure and this is because your mind has drifted some where esle and is not still.
