[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 202757, member: 2709"] In this first entry in the[I] Impressions of Gurbani [/I]series I have described the thoughts that Kirtan Sohila generates in my mind. It is not a translation, and it contains additional information and conclusions I have reached from my own journey and reading of Gurbani. Please read it in conjunction with the bani which starts on [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=12&g=1&h=1&r=1&t=1&p=0&k=0&fb=0']panna 12[/URL] of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I will separate each thought-section according to each shabad within Kirtan Sohila. For people new to Gurbani, the end of each shabad in Sohila is indicated by two numbers appearing like this: ||4||1||, meaning 'the preceeding lines were verse number 4 of the 1st shabad in Sohila. [B]Impressions of Gurbani ~ Sohila[/B] by Ishna Within yourself (house) sing praise of the Creator by remembering It and contemplating It. It is fearless and remembering Its qualities brings one peace. It takes care of all and gives countless gifts (like air to breathe). It calls us to merge with It (to realise Oneness) and the day is coming, so contemplate Its qualities now. -1- There are many philosophies and religions, but only One Creator, so focus on the philosophy that brings you in touch with It through remembering It. -2- Instead of a human-made ritual, the whole of Creation is in worship of It. It is within everyone, and also beyond everyone. The Guru teaches us to see the light within ourselves and then we can see It everywhere. Seeing this light is the real pleasing worship of It. One should thirst for It - for the light within - and beg for grace. -3- The Guru will teach you to remove your lust and rage. Learn from It carefully and treasure It. People who don't learn suffer pain of not perceiving the Oneness (they perceive separation instead). People who learn realise It and become fearless. They realise they belong to It and take sustenance and support from that realisation, which bring peace. -4- Everyone, learn from the Guru now and live the life It teaches to dwell in peace before (and after) you die. Know It, rather than the cynical world. Know It in your inner being, and be free. Pray for it. -5- [/QUOTE]
