[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 192077, member: 35"] [b]Re: Do sikhs need to keep fasts ?[/b] Gyani ji An amazing find! With your indulgence I wanted to post a few verses from Kabeer ji so readers would have a context for it. Salokas from Kabeer ji on Ang 1370 ਕਬੀਰ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਛਾਡਿ ਕੈ ਅਹੋਈ ਰਾਖੈ ਨਾਰਿ ॥ Kabīr har kā simran cẖẖād kai aho▫ī rākẖai nār. Kabeer, the woman who gives up meditation on the Lord, and observes the ritual fast of Ahoi, ਗਦਹੀ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ ਅਉਤਰੈ ਭਾਰੁ ਸਹੈ ਮਨ ਚਾਰਿ ॥੧੦੮॥ Gaḏhī ho▫e kai a▫uṯarai bẖār sahai man cẖār. ||108|| shall be reincarnated as a donkey, to carry heavy burdens. ||108|| ਕਬੀਰ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਅਤਿ ਘਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਮਾਹਿ ॥ Kabīr cẖaṯurā▫ī aṯ gẖanī har jap hirḏai māhi. Kabeer, it is the most clever wisdom, to chant and meditate on the Lord in the heart. ਸੂਰੀ ਊਪਰਿ ਖੇਲਨਾ ਗਿਰੈ ਤ ਠਾਹਰ ਨਾਹਿ ॥੧੦੯॥ Sūrī ūpar kẖelnā girai ṯa ṯẖāhar nāhi. ||109|| It is like playing on a pig; if you fall off, you will find no place of rest. ||109|| Harry ji Some readers are not going to hear your voice and get the wrong idea. Kabeer ji was thinking of you! What is amazing is that alongside the puja of the mother of small pox is another idea that goes like this. Anyone whose face is disfigured by small pox will have all bad karams forgiven and will find moksha immediately upon death. The world is snarled in contradictions. Why do the puja? Is this not the wiser puja? ਕਬੀਰ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਅਤਿ ਘਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਮਾਹਿ ॥ Kabīr cẖaṯurā▫ī aṯ gẖanī har jap hirḏai māhi. Kabeer, it is the most clever wisdom, to chant and meditate on the Lord in the heart. Kabeer ji continues with a note of irony. If you do the puja of the mother of smallpox, you will find no place of rest, but carry heavy burdens, like a donkey, all that remains of your life. Kabeer ji points to the practice that "purifies" everyone. ਕਬੀਰ ਸਈ ਮੁਖੁ ਧੰਨਿ ਹੈ ਜਾ ਮੁਖਿ ਕਹੀਐ ਰਾਮੁ ॥ Kabīr so▫ī mukẖ ḏẖan hai jā mukẖ kahī▫ai rām. Kabeer, blessed is that mouth, which utters the Lord's Name. ਦੇਹੀ ਕਿਸ ਕੀ ਬਾਪੁਰੀ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਹੋਇਗੋ ਗ੍ਰਾਮੁ ॥੧੧੦॥ Ḏehī kis kī bāpurī paviṯar ho▫igo garām. ||110|| It purifies the body, and the whole village as well. ||110|| That is the puja that gets results.
