[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 58217, member: 35"] Veer Begum ji, So am I. There are 376 references to the word "mother" in [I]Siri Guru Granth Sahib. [/I]However different words are used to refer to "mother" and the context can make the meaning change. This is the case with many eastern languages, including Punjabi and Gurmukhi -- where i[B]mplication rules.[/B] All this means is that words say more than the literal translation would state directly. And the literal meaning of a word is likely to change even in casual conversation.[COLOR=Black][B] Implication[/B] is found in every language, but some languages depend on i[B]mplication[/B] more than others, and Sanskrit-based languages like Gurmukhi are at the upper end of [B]implication use. [/B]Turkish (in a different language family) is probably the most extreme example of a language where[B] implication[/B] is as important as grammar in written and spoken communication.[/COLOR] So sometimes the word [B][I]maath[/I][/B] is used and makes a comparison to an earthly mother. As on Page 203 Line 10 [I]Raag Gaurhee Bairaagan:[/I] Guru Arjan Dev: [FONT=AnmolLipi] [COLOR=Purple]mwq ipqw suq bMDpo qUM myry pRwx ADwr ][/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=Purple] [I]maath pithaa suth bandhhapo thoon maerae praan adhhaar ||[/I] You are my mother, father, son and relative; You are the Support of the breath of life.[/COLOR] Or, sometimes we see a phrase like this, where [B]mother[/B] is understood to be the [B]Mother - Soul. [/B]Page 226 Line 13 [I]Raag Gaurhee:[/I] Guru Nanak Dev: [FONT=GurbaniLipi][COLOR=Purple] nwm ibnw ikau jIvw mwie ][/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=Purple] [I] naam binaa kio jeevaa maae ||[/I] Without the Naam, how can I live, O mother? [COLOR=Black] And there are other words for [I]mother[/I] as well with various meanings. [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black]In fact someone could write an academic paper about the uses of the word [I]mother[/I] in SGGS dev ji, and contribute to the world's understanding of Sikhi. Until we know which line you are talking about Baldir ji, the mystery will not be solved. BTW - The question, Does God have a [B]brother?[/B] would go hand in hand with this discussion. There are 80 references to brother in [I]Siri Guru Granth Sahib, [/I]with equally interesting [B]implications. [/B] Bye for now... and humble apologies to all speakers of Punjabi who could explain the part about implication better than I. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
