[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 123310, member: 138"] Mohinder Singh ji, Guru Fateh. You write: By the above it seems that you got offended from my posts which I do apologise for because that is not the intention and it would not be veechar but a tug of war of egos, which I am sure, neither yourself nor me have the intention,desire or goal for. We have known each other for a long time now. For me, disagreements and difference of opinions on the same subject are part and parcel of the learning process called Sikhi as long as they do not contradict Gurmat ideals given to us in SGGS, our only Guru. I would rather call this an active interaction than anything personal because since the time I have known you, I have learnt a lot from you and I admire your zeal,commitment, dedication and devotion to Sikhi. I am sorry if I was not able to make my point more clearly and in a nitid fashion. What I mean by one liners is that Guru Sahib in each Shabad how short or long it may be, tries to convey the message as a whole and the message can be only understood if we study the whole Shabad or Stanzas in case of Jap. Allow me to put it another way. If some one wrote you a letter and you only read " Dear Mohinder Singh ji" and not the context or the contents of the letter, would that do justice to the letter? This is the reason I mentioned about one liners which do not do justice to Gurbani because we know the whole idea presented by our Gurus is in the whole Shabad and Stanza. Let's take for example the one you have mentioned from Jap that you wanted me to interpret: 'Nanak bhagtan sada veegas. sunieh dukh paap ka nash' These are last two lines in a 6 line Stanza and four stanzas complete the message/theme that Guru Sahib is trying to convey. The theme of these 4 Stanzas is how to be good listeners and they give us the tools for becoming good listeners. These two lines are mentioned in all 4 Stanzas but the previous four lines of each Stanza give us different messages for us to grasp and understand how to practice the tools to become a great listener. So, as mentioned before, it does injustice to Gurbani and the message the Guru Sahib is trying to show us if we dissect just two last lines because the theme is not in these two lines. They have the conclusion of what has been said by Guru Sahib in the first four lines of each Stanza. In this case, they show us 4 times what fruits we can savour if we sow the seeds of becoming good listeners. So, if we ignore the seeds, then we can not talk about what kind of fruits we can reap. I have a suggestion for the Administrators. We can start a separate thread where we can discuss Japji Stanza by Stanza in which all can pitch in with their input what they understand by that. The interesting part is that each Stanza of Jap has a different theme. And Mohinder Singh ji, with your help we can all learn together. Thanks & regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
