[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 152841, member: 189"] and now my own 2 cents worth. I heartily agree with Both Spnadmin Ji and Tejwant Ji... the "Sikh Simran" is NOT a meaningless chnating, mantarism type of ritualistic behaviour shaking heads, muttering lips, various sitting postures, lighting etc etc etc. A SIKH SIMRAN..is LIVING our Daily LIFE in accordance with TRUTH..in other words TRUTH FUL LIVING. Honesty, fairness, hard work, compassion, a hundred and one similar things have to be Daily PRACTISED in our life in order for a SIKH to claim he/she is doing "Sikh SIMRAN".....Guur Nanak ji showed us the WAY...he worked hard as any typical Punjabi Farmer does...ploughing his fields in the early hours of pre-dawn, cutting down fresh grass etc and bringing it back in wet bales on his own head for the feeding of his milk giving buffaloes and cows - when Bhai Lehnna Ji first came to meet Guur nanak ji sahib, he was given such a bale to carry on his head..Mata Tripta Ji on seeing the rich clothes of Bhai lehnna Ji spoilt by the leaking muddy water form the bale of wet grass on his head, mildly admonished Guur Ji for dirtying the clothes of his guest...BUT Guru Nank Ji replied ..the leaking dirty water is KESAR from Heaven,,perfumed water !! As all of us know very well that a Punjabi farmer's TYPICAL DAY begins with getting up in the wee hours of the night, milking his cows and buffaloes, taking his twin bullocks and the Plough to the fileds in the early pre-dawn hours, ploughing until the sun is high in the sky. Then engaging in cutting fresh grass to being back home, have his breakfast and then back to the fileds for more ploughing till late at night when another fresh batch of fresh grass is brought back on the head...milking feeding etc. THIS is the Practical SIMRAN Guur nanak ji Practised...hard honest work and sharing the fruits of that with all welcome !! There is absolutley no "evidence" of any special lightings, special seating postures, closing of the eyes like a Bagla, malas and such "dramatic parapherenilaia"...or any special ways of breathing in and out etc etc which are being sold as absolutley essential to any "successful simran"... Modern Sikhism has been reduced to RITUAL and dramatic behaviour and PRACTICAL HONESTY and Hard work taught in GURBANI has been relegated to the background..and the GURBANI is now regarded as....as essentially for the paid pathees and Ragis to earn a livelihood from reading it mechanically and singing it for profit. This NEGATION of Practcila Gurbani in our LIFE has resulted in a serious LOSS of morality, degradation of Sikhs from Pillars of Truth and Integrity into corrupt lazy good for nothing individuals only thinking of making as much money in the shortest possible period by any means - lawful or unlawful or even criminal. We must go back to our Basic ROOTS as is taught in Gurbani..Sikhi is apractical way of life and not a meaningless mutter of closed lips and eyes...see no evil, hear no evil say no evil.... [/QUOTE]
