[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 168447, member: 189"] Thats simply becasue you dear sister (together with probably 99.9% sikhs also) take "Kirtan" to be that action of banging on a tabla with another banging the waja etc....Thats NOT "KIRTAN" per say... REAL KIRTAN...and all the Gurbani Tuks quoted in this Thread about dancing, singing etc mean...[B]LIVING LIVING LIVING[/B]...and LIVING is "done continoulsy" till we breathe IN/OUT that Last breath called Hum aadmi haan EK Dammii - we are AAdmi of ONE BREATH ONLY ( Breath gone IN and not coming OUT..we are DEAD...Breath came OUT..none coming IN...we are DEAD - so BOTTOM LINE as Guru nanak ji said is ONE BREATH is OUR "LIFE" When a person BREATHES IN and OUT..each breath is lived as per GURBANI - the Universal TRUTH, loving the Creator/His creation, following His Laws,in PERFECT HARMONY with ALL -Nature, Environment, Creation...that my dear is KIRTAN - the SONG OF LIFE. GURBANI and the GURU instructed us to do SUCH [B]NIRBANN KIRTAN.[/B]...but we prefer the LIP SERVICE TYPE the external type...the showmanship type...and we get the wrong idea that a Mahaan/Huge/International/Gold Medalist/Live/Satelite Broadcast..Kirtan darbaar makes HIM HAPPY ??? its a travesty..Hes surely not pleased with all that electricity wasted, water wasted, rubbish created, air polluted, noise etc etc...He would much prefer if we each one of us in his her own way showed Love and compassion in many many ways possible..so that our DAILY LIVES go hand in glove with HIS NATURE and ENVIRONMENT etc. 2. as for being happy forever ??..Just look at GURU ARJUN JI...seated in his grandfathers lap (Guru Amardass Ji) and being blessed as "Ship of Hymns"...Guru Arjun Ji is just as Happy as when he was seated on the burning hot plate...the words that issue form His mouth in BOTH Occasions are the Exact SAME...I Beg of YOUR NAAM ONLY. But IF it were ME or you in that situation..in the lap we would be soooooooooooo happpppppppppppppy...and on the Hot Plate ??? Thats hwy its said of us...an entire day spent in the company of the one we love seems like a second...an entire "second" in Church or Gurdwara or Masjid..seems like "Forever"..oh when will the Mass finish..oh when will the ardass be over..oh why is the granthi choosing such a longgggggggg hukmnamah...get on with it man and sitribute the karrah parshaad..we all got work to do you know....a 500 dollar bill on wine/dine at a fine restaurant with loved one seems just like notepaper..a dollar for a poor man on the street takes such a long time to emerge form our wallet...[B]PERCEPTION is the KEY[/B] !!!
