[QUOTE="Serjinder Singh, post: 135542, member: 13216"] In the first pauri of Japuji the line “Sochai soch na hovei jey sochai lakh var (ਸੋਚੈ ਸੋਚਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ ॥)” the meaning of word ‘Sochai’ (ਸੋਚੈ) means ‘by ritually cleansing’ and word ‘Soch’ (ਸੋਚਿ ) means the act of ritual cleansing. These words could also mean ‘thinking’ and ‘act of thinking’ , and indeed we find these meanings in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. However, the context of the ongoing theme helps us to decide the intended meaning. Ritual cleansing as meaning of word Soch or Sochai in Sri Guru Granth Sahib appears at the following instances also. page 59 ‘we cannot find Hari (God) without devotion and love’ ਕਾਇਆ ਸੋਚ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਪਿਆਰ ॥ page 265 ‘(You) carry on ritually cleansing (yourself however,) the filth defiling the mind does not go away (merely) by cleansing the body’ ਸੋਚ ਕਰੈ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਅਰੁ ਰਾਤਿ ॥ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਤਨ ਤੇ ਜਾਤਿ ॥ page 495 ‘(you) roamed the entire globe ritually bathing on the sixty eight places of pilgrimage. You make it a point to ritually keep yourself clean day and night, however, without a satgur (true teacher) you are all the time in the dark. ਅਠਸਠਿ ਮਜਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਇਸਨਾਨਾ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਆਏ ਧਰ ਸਾਰੀ ॥ ਅਨਿਕ ਸੋਚ ਕਰਹਿ ਦਿਨ ਰਾਤੀ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਅੰਧਿਆਰੀ page 595 ‘Set up your life span as the shop and the ‘true name’ as the stock to sell. Make your cleansed consciousness as the containers (bhandsaal) and keep (the stock) in it. ਹਾਣੁ ਹਟੁ ਕਰਿ ਆਰਜਾ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਿ ਵਥੁ ॥ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸੋਚ ਕਰਿ ਭਾਂਡਸਾਲ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਰਖੁ ॥ page 905 Within your mind you have the filth filling it, however, you carry on roaming and bathing at the pilgrimage places. If mind is not cleansed what use is indulging in ritually cleansing your body. ਅੰਤਰਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਤੀਰਥ ਭਰਮੀਜੈ ॥ ਮਨੁ ਨਹੀ ਸੂਚਾ ਕਿਆ ਸੋਚ ਕਰੀਜੈ ॥ page 1266 O my Lord Hari, I have preapared foods, sweets and preparations of various kinds. I have purified the ritually cleansed the kitchen (paksaal, read my mind), now please begin taking the meal. ਅਨਿਕ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਭੋਜਨ ਬਹੁ ਕੀਏ ਬਹੁ ਬਿੰਜਨ ਮਿਸਟਾਏ ॥ ਕਰੀ ਪਾਕਸਾਲ ਸੋਚ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਾ ਹੁਣਿ ਲਾਵਹੁ ਭੋਗੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਏ ॥ Humbly Serjinder Singh [/QUOTE]
