[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 132419, member: 35"] [b]Re: An informal critique of Dr. Baldev Singh's article plus a discussion of things brought up in the thread.[/b] Bhagat Singh ji I do have a question for you - asked earlier. What is your understanding of this shabad? It is one that you quoted maybe 4 posts back. You said you were not certain the Guru Nanak rejects the caste system. Would you relate your ideas about science and history to your understanding of the shabad? It is important to get back to the entire shabad so the individual verses are not taken out of context. Thanks ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥ आसा महला १ ॥ Āsā mėhlā 1. Aasaa, First Mehl: ਜੇ ਦਰਿ ਮਾਂਗਤੁ ਕੂਕ ਕਰੇ ਮਹਲੀ ਖਸਮੁ ਸੁਣੇ ॥ जे दरि मांगतु कूक करे महली खसमु सुणे ॥ Je ḏar māʼngaṯ kūk kare mahlī kẖasam suṇe. If a beggar cries out at the door, the Master hears it in His Mansion. ਭਾਵੈ ਧੀਰਕ ਭਾਵੈ ਧਕੇ ਏਕ ਵਡਾਈ ਦੇਇ ॥੧॥ भावै धीरक भावै धके एक वडाई देइ ॥१॥ Bẖāvai ḏẖīrak bẖāvai ḏẖake ek vadā▫ī ḏe▫e. ||1|| Whether He receives him or pushes him away, it is the Gift of the Lord's Greatness. ||1|| ਜਾਣਹੁ ਜੋਤਿ ਨ ਪੂਛਹੁ ਜਾਤੀ ਆਗੈ ਜਾਤਿ ਨ ਹੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ जाणहु जोति न पूछहु जाती आगै जाति न हे ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥ Jāṇhu joṯ na pūcẖẖahu jāṯī āgai jāṯ na he. ||1|| rahā▫o. Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. ||1||Pause|| ਆਪਿ ਕਰਾਏ ਆਪਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ आपि कराए आपि करेइ ॥ Āp karā▫e āp kare▫i. He Himself acts, and He Himself inspires us to act. ਆਪਿ ਉਲਾਮ੍ਹ੍ਹੇ ਚਿਤਿ ਧਰੇਇ ॥ आपि उलाम्हे चिति धरेइ ॥ Āp ulāmeĥ cẖiṯ ḏẖare▫e. He Himself considers our complaints. ਜਾ ਤੂੰ ਕਰਣਹਾਰੁ ਕਰਤਾਰੁ ॥ जा तूं करणहारु करतारु ॥ Jā ṯūʼn karanhār karṯār. Since You, O Creator Lord, are the Doer, ਕਿਆ ਮੁਹਤਾਜੀ ਕਿਆ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥੨॥ किआ मुहताजी किआ संसारु ॥२॥ Ki▫ā muhṯājī ki▫ā sansār. ||2|| why should I submit to the world? ||2|| ਆਪਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਇ ॥ आपि उपाए आपे देइ ॥ Āp upā▫e āpe ḏe▫e. You Yourself created and You Yourself give. ਆਪੇ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮਨਹਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ आपे दुरमति मनहि करेइ ॥ Āpe ḏurmaṯ manėh kare▫i. You Yourself eliminate evil-mindedness; ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥ गुर परसादि वसै मनि आइ ॥ Gur parsāḏ vasai man ā▫e. by Guru's Grace, You come to abide in our minds, ਦੁਖੁ ਅਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੇਰਾ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥੩॥ दुखु अन्हेरा विचहु जाइ ॥३॥ Ḏukẖ anĥerā vicẖahu jā▫e. ||3|| and then, pain and darkness are dispelled from within. ||3|| ਸਾਚੁ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਆਪਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ साचु पिआरा आपि करेइ ॥ Sācẖ pi▫ārā āp kare▫i. He Himself infuses love for the Truth. ਅਵਰੀ ਕਉ ਸਾਚੁ ਨ ਦੇਇ ॥ अवरी कउ साचु न देइ ॥ Avrī ka▫o sācẖ na ḏe▫e. Unto others, the Truth is not bestowed. ਜੇ ਕਿਸੈ ਦੇਇ ਵਖਾਣੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਆਗੈ ਪੂਛ ਨ ਲੇਇ ॥੪॥੩॥ जे किसै देइ वखाणै नानकु आगै पूछ न लेइ ॥४॥३॥ Je kisai ḏe▫e vakẖāṇai Nānak āgai pūcẖẖ na le▫e. ||4||3|| If He bestows it upon someone, says Nanak, then, in the world hereafter, that person is not called to account. ||4||3|| [/QUOTE]
