[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 135276, member: 138"] Spnadmin ji, Guru Fateh, First of all I want to thank Giani ji for clarifying the grammar part which I intended to do this morning. The good thing about living in different time zones is that when one is asleep, then some one else with a caliber like Gyani ji can take over. I also want to thank Dalbirk ji for his efforts. I would like to clarify one thing that in none of my posts I ever mentioned the name W.H.Mcleod which you keep on bringing up when discussing what I have posted from my own understanding of the Pauri. I am not a fan of Mcleod at all. I did not check his translation. His books are collecting dust on my book shelves. In my opinion all those non Sikh scholars especially the ones not of Indian origin exploited Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Sikhi for their own personal benefits and gain. And as Indian culture is ingrained in idolising any one who just wears a cleaner pair of pants than theirs, becomes their hero and idol. This is what took place then when Sikhi was in disarray and due to this many foreigners took advantage because of the lee way given by the British Raj. Dr. Pashaura Singh, the head of Sikh studies at University of California,Riverside, is a typical Mcleod's disciple in every sense of the words. His PhD thesis based on Mcleod's writings about Sikhi was rejected first. He was forced to change his viewpoints due to that. I do not know whether you remember or not, there were lots of protests against him being the head of the chair. The matter was investigated by the University and he became the chair despite many protests. But he has changed as Sikhi way is which makes us learn, unlearn and relearn daily and to his credit he has changed his stance in many things which were based on Mcleod's thinking. He and I have been having many lively email interactions for a long time now. Although we still do not see eye to eye in many things about Gurbani, we are getting closer in many aspects. Secondly, I would like to say is that every Shabad in Gurbani is like a beautiful, well designed and meticulously strung necklace. In the case of Jap ji. Mool Mantar is the pendant and the rest of the Pauris are the pearls and as any beautifully designed necklace, things can not be strung in an haphazard manner. They require pattern and flow of cohesiveness.After all it is a thought process especially in Sikhi where there is a lot of reasoning behind Gurbani. Pragmatism on which Sikhi is based on demands from us to keep the cohesiveness and do not string the necklace in a haphazard fashion. This is the reason the term Rahao in most of the Gurbani acts like a pendant. I have given my thoughts about the Pauri and as you had a great idea of asking others to pin their thoughts so we can all interact in a Gurmat fashion. Then we can go to other Pauris after that. All the thanks go to Ishna ji for giving us this opportunity to become better Sikhs. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
