SO what Guru ji is saying in the shabad must be a figure of speech and/or a metaphor. </p><p>I explained to you many times earlier that it is a figure of speech as hair cannot literally meditate. It says that the Gurmukh is absorbed in the meditation. </p><p>The shabad could have very well said that each and every molecule to the the exten that each and every atom of the Gurmukh meditates. </p><p>I am done explaining this, you can believe that hair meditate.

Try making sense of it. It holds no meaning to gurbani or to real life. </p><p>The line I put in italics, you are confusing love of God to becoming One with God.</p><p></p><p>I don't need to do this since you have made no

[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 86206, member: 2610"] When I asked you what meditation is, you answered, "[I]It is to concentrate the mind on one thing." [/I]So according to this, we know hair cannot physically meditate. SO what Guru ji is saying in the shabad must be a figure of speech and/or a metaphor. I explained to you many times earlier that it is a figure of speech as hair cannot literally meditate. It says that the Gurmukh is absorbed in the meditation. The shabad could have very well said that each and every molecule to the the exten that each and every atom of the Gurmukh meditates. I am done explaining this, you can believe that hair meditate. But according to your own definition it doesn't litereally meditate.... you do the math. uh...ya...:crazy: make a new thread on this, it deserves its own topic. [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=blue] [/COLOR][/FONT]ok. Firstly, you took what I said out of context, and secondly, I have already given my reasoning above. That line I put in bold makes no sense. Try making sense of it. It holds no meaning to gurbani or to real life. The line I put in italics, you are confusing love of God to becoming One with God. I don't need to do this since you have made no valid points in the above comment, but let's just analyze what Kabir has to say, so we are clear on his message.
