[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 96074, member: 138"] Gyani ji, Guru Fateh. Thanks for your kind, motivating and inspiring words. I just feel blessed to be able to think aloud; the priviledge and the honour the sadh sangat has bestowed upon me. Many of us have been taught to do Paath no matter if it sinks in or not. Little do we realise that if we through water on a marble floor of our ivory towers, it will just run away rather than sinking inside the marble. For a farmer to plant the seeds so she/he can reap the fruits later, the land has to be porous so the nutrients like water and 'Miracle gro' can sink in and make the plant grow faster and healthier. So when the seeds sprout, the landscape changes. After sometimes the flowers get blossmed and the farmer notices the butterflies and the hummigbirds doing their work of nature and spreading the nectar to the other plants. Then the flowers morph into fruits which brings out the smile on the tiller of the land and she/he is ready to share the fruits from a small seed with others, first to make their living and then to help the needy. The metamorphosis of the change of the landscape from an arid patch of land to the fertile little garden is quite visible, undeniable and helpful not only to the ones who started the hard work but to many in the animal kingdom who help spread the nectar. Now let us transport this scenario in our inner patch of barren land. If we use the same modus operandi for our inner desert by studying Gurbani then only we will be able to see the changes in ourselves, others will notice the same and then there will be plenty of fruits to share with all. Doing Paaths for years has brought no changes to anyone. I know it did not bring anything to me but more inflated ego. Now there is a new gimmick on the internet and the thread has spread onto SPN like the locust attack on fertile fields of doing million Chaupai Paaths for the victims of 1984 and some are taking it very seriously even some young fervent ones of my own family. One wonders how many of them have read the whole Chaupai attributed to our 10th Guru by some scholars, not the one we recite during Rehraas and checked its whole meaning? If they collected $1.00 each after they have done just one Chaupai a month as I had suggested to the fervent young members of my family, then they will be able to collect millions through their Facebook groups and then open schools for the orphans, offer them scholarships and open cottage industry for the widows. And if they collected $1.00 on monthly basis, then the sky would not be the limit. So this is what I mean by making our inner arid patch of land fertile and making a true difference. This can only happen by studying Gurbani little by little, not by memorising the whole SGGS. If our feel good thingy just by doing Paath rather than studying it so it can be put into practice by doing good to the needy does not bring any good to the mankind, then Karl Marx's words still ring true in the ears of all Paath doing Sikhs," Religion is opium of the people". Its effect is over once we leave the Gurdwara Sahib installed in our house or when we leave Bangla Sahib after tucking the flower in our pug, the one given by the granthi with great reverance. I mentioned this before and it is worth repeating that if we do not follow our Gurus teachings then we are doing nothing but decorating our mental tombstones with plastic flowers. Thanks once again Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
