[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 193254, member: 35"] ActsOGod ji If you take the literal meaning of these verses, then you will arrive at the conclusion you have arrived at. Taranjeet Singh ji has already pointed out that this is one path that a person can take. But problems lie with the use of only one tuk. Let's look at the entire shabad for the just for the first tuk you posted I am not trying to be funny - but does the tuk say exactly how many times "she" the soul-bride should repeat His Name? No. To repeat His Name is not the main idea of the shabad. The main idea is to become 'suhagan,' the soul bride. Please take a look at the entire shabad. Our understanding should improve when we do. It should become deeper and more detailed. The color highlighting is explained later. Those who are men and who are women, they become happy brides when merged in the Lord's love. Nothing in this shabad states or implies one should say Waheguru over and over again. Your eye falls to the word "repeat" and Karminder Singh Dhillon explains that we wrongly take this to mean chant, recite, or say a 'name of God' over and over again. Look at what is missed from that point of view. I highlighted in blue all the places where Guruji tells us how to be the happy soul-bride. Chanting is not mentioned. Repeat occurs only one time. But Guru ji is very clear about what is needed. The shabad itself is the word. The shabad itself must be the focus of steadfast comprehension and attention. [B] Through the Shabad we become the suhagan, happy soul-bride[/B]. If someone were to chant Waheguru day and night minute by minute what time attention or energy would remain for all those other things that this shabad brings forth as the path to Waheguru - which I have highlighted in red. All of those things which are in red are active states of focused mind. When and how does one make this kind of effort by repeating repeating repeating? The idea lacks common sense. One last thought of a practical nature. In all that we know from the sakhis and from Bhai Gurdas ji, we learn that Guru Nanak himself was not chanting or repeating HIs Name name over and over again. He was busy with pilgrimages, preaching, building Kartapur to be a spiritual center, writing hymns and composing kirtan, tending his herds and shepherding his human flock. He sets the standard for "repeating" God's name through righteous action, not through chanting or repeating. That is the point of the essay by Dr. Karmandir Singh Dhillon ji. Anyone who wants to repeat repeat repeat should certainly do that. However, ShabadGuru should not be distorted to be an endorsement. [/QUOTE]
