[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 5214, member: 189"] Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh. Gurbani does say: Bed kateb kaho mat jhootheh..JHOOTHAH JO NA BICHARAE. The clever Brahman had "silenced" everybody by making it known that ONLY THE BRAHMAN will READ the Vedas..as and when necessary. No one need to know anything. As a means of ensuring this compliance SANSKRIT was made a CLOSED HOLY language..only for the BRAHMANS...any one else trying to learn it was under pain of DEATH and TORTURE. This si not fantasy but historical FACT. GURU NANAK saw this happening and determined it wouldnt happen to GURBANI... that is why GURU JI shunned Sanskrti and used GURMUKHI/PUNJABI to preach His Gurbani.... the language of the ordinary people. Before Him, Budha Ji also realised this same thing and thertefore dissed sanskrit and used PALI, the people's language to spread his message. The Modern "bippars" in Sikhi want this privilege for themselves... "we will study, read gurbani as and when necessary.." No one else bother to understand..just repeat your nitnem/ and it is all ok. Mindless repetitions as a sort of "mantar" is not encouraged..whats the use. A Youngster in your example is just beginner...let him learn to read, then get used to the time involved, then how to read it all correctly..and then MUST coem a time when HE MUST BEGIN VICHAAR/FOLLOW what GURBANI SAYS in his daily Life. Mindless repetition is NOT the END...it is just a means...the END is VICHAAR and USAGE. Gurbani has an INTRINSIC VALUE ( AMRIT) in that one can begin getting SWAAD/TASTE of AMRIT...just by mindless repetitions alone....but that is NOT our goal... the REAL SWAAD is much greater. Just like keeping a dirty cloth in Soapy water, will get slightly cleaner than before due to the INTRINSIC QUALITY of soap to clean, BUT just imagine how much more cleaner the cloth can get if we put in a bit more effort and RUB the soap on the stain...Moot pleetee kappar hoi..deh saboon lahiyeh oh dhoiyeh...isnt GURU Ji advising us to DHOHIYEH...wash... so GURBANI has to be USED in our daily Life to make an impact...it is a formula of LIFe to be LIVED. On the "shardha" thing i disagree with you. Some body may have told Guur nanak ji... jsut show some "shardha" and wear the janeau for just a while..go bathe in the ganga jal just for shardha's sake..we all know Guru Ji's answer.... HE REFUSED POINT BLANK even though his father had invited hundreds, even bought a Live GOAT for Food, etc,,GURU JI didnt show any Shardha to HINDU RITUALS...He didnt wear the janeau even to satisfy the guests of his father.
