[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 139777, member: 35"] Bhagat Singh ji No one was misled by the reference to kundalini yoga. [B]No one has been that superficial so far. [/B] Problems arise - forgive me for repeating myself - when we are not specific about the meanings we take for words. What was Guru Arjan Dev saying when he spoke "perfect is ..." He was not advocating yoga in the ordinary way that we use the term, a system of meditation and exercise, to attain spiritual, mental and physical perfection. Here is what Guru Arjan Dev says. The rhao line is explained by lines that precede it. ਗਉੜੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ gourree mehalaa 5 || [B][COLOR="Blue"] ਜੋ ਇਸੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਸੋਈ ਸੂਰਾ ॥ jo eis maarae soee sooraa || One who kills this is a spiritual hero. ਜੋ ਇਸੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਸੋਈ ਪੂਰਾ ॥ jo eis maarae soee pooraa || One who kills this is perfect. ਜੋ ਇਸੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥ jo eis maarae thisehi vaddiaaee || One who kills this obtains glorious greatness. ਜੋ ਇਸੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਜਾਈ ॥੧॥ jo eis maarae this kaa dhukh jaaee ||1|| One who kills this is freed of suffering. ||1|| ਐਸਾ ਕੋਇ ਜਿ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਮਾਰਿ ਗਵਾਵੈ aisaa koe j dhubidhhaa maar gavaavai || How rare is such a person, who kills and casts off duality. [/COLOR][/B] ਇਸਹਿ ਮਾਰਿ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਗੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ eisehi maar raaj jog kamaavai ||1|| rehaao || Killing it, he attains Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. ||1||Pause|| Guru ji is not prescribing any asana here or recommending the practice of Raj Yoga. Guruji is saying that Raj Yoga is a state obtained by preparing the mind to cast off duality and be merged with Naam. ਜੋ ਇਸੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਤਿਸ ਕਉ ਭਉ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ jo eis maarae this ko bho naahi || One who kills this has no fear. ਜੋ ਇਸੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਸੁ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਹਿ ॥ jo eis maarae s naam samaahi || One who kills this is absorbed in the Naam. Long shabad, so I have ended it before the conclusion. But Raj Yoga in Guru Granth Sahib is not the practice of "yoga." In losing the self in the love of the shabad, loosing the ego, loosing duality, one moves to the next step - Raj Yoga. Keep in mind that the usage of "yoga" in gurbani is in terms of the core concept of "joining" "union" two English words which have the same root as "jog." It would be worth it to do a vichaar of this word alone, "jog." [/QUOTE]
