[QUOTE="singhbj, post: 83511, member: 5360"] Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh On this day in Sikh History 6th Patshah Sahib Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji wore two Kirpans representing Miri and Piri at Sri Akal Takht Sahib. MIRI & PIRI, compound of two words, both of Perso - Arabic origin, adapted into the Sikh tradition to connote the close relationship within it between the temporal and the spiritual. The term represents for the Sikhs a basic principle which has influenced their religious and political thought and governed their societal structure and behaviour. Miri The word miri has been derived from Persian word “miri”, which itself comes from the Arabic “amir” which literary means commander, governor, lord, prince, etc, and signifies temporal power. The word miri and piri are frequently used together. Piri The word piri has been derived from Persian “pir” literary meaning senior man, saint, holy man, spiritual guide, head of a religious order) and stands for spiritual authority. The word miri and piri are frequently used together. Miri Piri The adoption of the term “miri, piri” in Sikh tradition has been made to connote the temporal and spiritual components of life. The term represents for the Sikhs a basic principle which has influenced their political thought and has governed their social structure, political behaviour, organisation, leadership and politics. The origin of the concept of Miri and Piri is usually associated with Guru Hargobind Sahib ji (1595 - 1644) who, unlike his five predecessors, adopted a princely style right from the time of his installation in 1606 as the sixth Guru of the Sikhs, when as part of the investiture he wore on his person two swords, one representing Miri or political command of the community and the other Piri, its spiritual headship. For this reason, he is known as Miri Piri da Malak, master of piety as well as of power. This correlation between the spiritual and the mundane had in fact been conceptualized in the teachings of the founder of the faith, Guru Nanak Dev ji (1469-1539) himself. God is posited by Guru Sahib ji as the Ultimate Reality. He is the creator, the ultimate ground of all that exists. The man being the creation of God, partakes of His Own Light. How does man fulfil himself in this world which, again, is posited as a reality? Not by withdrawal or renunciation, but, as says Guru Nanak Dev ji's hymn in the measure Ramkali, by "battling in the open field with one's mind perfectly in control and with one's heart poised in love all the lime" (GG,93l). Participation was made the rule. Thus worldly structures the family, the social and economic systems were brought within the religious domain. Along with the transcendental vision, concern with existential reality was part of Guru Nanak Dev ji's intuition. His sacred verse reveals an acute awareness of the ills and errors of contemporary society. Equally telling was his opposition to oppressive State structures.
