[QUOTE="vsgrewal48895, post: 96390, member: 8024"] Let the voice the shabad is sung in be the music and virtue.[B] Concentration[/B] is Key Yes one ultimately should understand what Guru ji is saying, but believe it or not understanding is acheived by simply [B]concentrating[/B] and repeating Waheguru. Shabad Guru is beyond mere words. [B]Concentration[/B] is the Key yes this shabad is speaking on progressing on the Sikhi path and tells one to comtemplate over Gurbani to understand. If today I dont understand when [B]concentrating[/B] then maybe tomorrow with [B]concentration[/B] i will understand, this does not mean the last days Bani was read like a ritual. Inner purity can be acheived also by [B]concentrating [/B]on Gurbani, its only understand will come later. Gurbani is beyond ritualistic practices. The vibration of reading Gurbani is a force that is unexplainable. This is speaking to those who sit and have no [B]concentration[/B] on what is being said. Even though you don't understand what Guru ji is saying while reading, [B]concentration [/B]on the Shabad still can be there. [B]Concentration [/B]on Gurbani when you are reciting is the key to understanding. I can recite today with [B]concentration[/B], but not understand and still attain virtues from the recitations of Gurbani Mind can only be controlled by the Guru/Akal Purkh’s Grace and cannot be concentrated by individual Will power. If possible he becomes a self willed person/ਮਨਮੁਖ. The Grace is another subject to be posted later. Guru Amardas questions and answers it in Raag Asa and Guru Arjan responds in Raag Gauri; Q. ਇਹੁ ਮਨੂਆ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਵਸਿ ਆਵੈ ॥ [I]Ih Manoo-aa Ki-o Kar Vas Aavai.[/I] How can this mind come under control? A.ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਠਾਕੀਐ ਗਿਆਨ ਮਤੀ ਘਰਿ ਆਵੈ ॥ [I]Gur Parsaadee Thaakee-ai Gi-aan Matee Ghar Aavai.[/I] By Guru's Grace, it is held in check; instructed in spiritual wisdom, it returns to its home. -----Guru Amardas, Raag Asa, AGGS, Page, 426-11 A. ਮਨੁ ਬਸਿ ਆਵੈ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜੇ ਪੂਰਨ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹੋਇ ॥ [I]Man Bus Aavai Nanaka Jay Pooran Kirpa Hoey.[/I] The mind comes to be controlled, O Nanak, if the God blesses with Its Perfect Grace. -----Guru Arjan, Thiti Gauri, AGGS, Page, 298-17 Virinder S. Grewal Williamston, MI [/QUOTE]
