[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 22477, member: 189"] [b]Re: Sakhis -miracles Or ?? - Part TWO[/b] In this short note i will discuss the follwoing FOUR SAKHIS found in the Janam Sakhis 1. Guru nanak ji went to sleep under a tree....but the tree's shade didnt move with the Sun's journey across the sky. 2. A second time Guru Ji was sleeping..and the Sun began to shine on His face..and a King Cobra came and shaded Guru Ji's face. 3. Guur Ji slept and his cows destroyed someone's khet...but wehn Guru Ji went to see..the Khet was normal. 4. Guru Ji transformed a master criminal and murderer sajjan thuggh into a model law abiding citizen. Firstly I wish to make it clear that I beleive that these so called "incidents" happened exactly as described. Such stories are also common to other mahapurakh's lives such as Muhammed Ji, Jesus etc. These sakhis portray the greatness of WAHEGURU..and the Greatness of the Mahapurakh/Prophet/Guru. Lets take the sakhis from a SIKH Perpesctive. I beleive the sakhis contain the same POINTERS that GURBANI has. The only difference is perhaps that GURBANI is for the more discerning readers..while the simple sakhis are for teh simple minded folk...but the lessons behind both GURBANI and the SAKHIS are the SAME. Perhaps we have made the mistake of treating all the sakhis as mere worldly stories....all the words as of this world commonly used by all. Example..in GURBANI..Guru nanak Ji says: Bhanda Dhoi beas dhoop devoh tau dhudeh kao jaiuh. But here no one will say that Guru Ji is talking about the Bhandeh Dhudh Kitchen utensils and milk etc and giving us simple everyday advise about washing our kitchen utensils properly. THAT would be MUNDANE ADVISE more suited to a hygeine/cookery class rather than a Spiritual Class of GURBANI. So here everyone takes the Meanings of Bhanda as Mann, dhoop is spituality and dhuudh is the Naam of God.. Agains..Ham Ghar sajaan aiyeah..sacheh mel milayae.. Here Guru Ji is certianly NOT talking about the everyday visitor to our house...ordinary welcome sir aao jee jee aiyan nu. Here Ghar is our Heart, the Sajaan is WAHEGURU..and the Meeting mel is Spiritual UNION We have to GO BENEATH the SKIN of these so called Karamati Miracle sakhis..to get at the actual MEANINGS and LESSONS. As children we have heard the Aeosp's Fables...the Fox with Sour Graps...the Race between the Hare and the tortoise. As children we found them highly ENTERTAINING..and amusing..BUT when we GREW UP...we dont treat them as "entertaining" but as LESSONS in LIFE. These same "fables" now show us the way in life...Every Human is at one time or another the "fox" and will cry out "sour grapes"...each Human is that "crow" who listened to the sweet nothings of the sly fox and lost his piece of meat...each of us at one time or another have experienced the agony of the Dog that lost his bone to the one in the Water below...or "lost" the race to a tortoise while beleiving oneself to be a hare. Have we NOT ?? to be continued.... Jarnail Singh Gyani [/QUOTE]
