[QUOTE="pk70, post: 74396, member: 5889"] [b]Re: Interpretation Of Gurbani Differ[/b] namjap ji While reading this post, I felt Guru himself spoke to me through these Guru Waak along with the interpretation because metaphors and symbols were beutifully used and interpretted as well. Levels of Sikhi, as some quote frequently on this site, has nothing to do with understanding Gurbani. In Gurbani words are very forceful to convey the intended message.
