[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 108956, member: 138"] Simpy ji, Guru Fateh. Thanks for joining the forum. You have already enriched us fellow members with your Gurmat wisdom and I hope you continue doing that. You Write: I totally agree with you with your above statement. First of all those are incomplete words of mine so, they do not give the true message. Allow me to re-post it : [B]"It is very common that the beautiful Shabad and its message can be ruined with the incorrect literal translation which is very common in Gurbani.[/B] It is a common belief that " Poothaa" in the above Shabad and mentioned in the verse below means Son which is not only incorrect but quite insulting to our Gurus, hence, to Sri [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] Ji. People even who know Gurmukhi make the same mistake, which is sad. That is the reason Harbans Singh ji mentioned that it is sung when the son goes away or on birthdays. It is a shame because Sri [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] Ji is not sexist, to the contrary. In the following verse POOTHAA means a child, who could be of either gender, not just son. [COLOR=#006400]ਪੂਤਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਕੀ ਆਸੀਸ ॥ [/COLOR] [COLOR=#006400]poothaa maathaa kee aasees ||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#006400]O son, this is your mother's hope and prayer[/COLOR]" Your questions are answered by the above in [B]bold[/B]. When GURU SHABAD is not translated properly, hence distorted then the message is ruined and lost in the wrong translation. Most of the literal translations are incorrect, hence send the wrong message rather than the SAT our Gurus tried to show us. The best example is in the post itself. I beg to differ because of the reasons given above. Once again, if you get the wrong message than what our Gurus wanted us to give, the message is ruined. What are you getting then? Not the message our GURUS wanted to convey to us so that we could put that into practice to breed goodness within. One more thing I disagree with you when you say, "". Anyone can hurl insults at anyone. The insulter knows what he/she is doing which is insulting the other person or persons, however, it depends on the one towards whom the insults are hurled at how he/ she takes it. Yes, Our GURUS never felt insulted even though our 5th Guru was put on a hot plate, hot sand was poured on his head and was boiled in a cauldron. Same thing can be said about our 9th Guru. Thanks for prejudging me. I do not think that is a Sikhi trait. Giving the benefit of the doubt sure is. I am a work in progress. Sikhi is the journey of the individual, each of us carry our own spiritual torch. Your above statement has already been answered. It seems, I was not able to convey the message to you the way I wrote it initially. I hope it is clear now. Gyani Arshi is and others understood what I wanted to convey. Simpy ji, You are just being repetitive here. Your queries have already been responded to. It would be beneficial if you read the post all over again. Thanks and regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
