The Guru's were very good at using everyday examples that people could identify with to demonstrate their point. A male-female relationship is used to demonstrate 2 things:</p><p>1) How excessive attachement or reliance on another person is a bad thing, especially when causing you to behave in anti-gurmat ways.</p><p>2) Lust can lead to no good :down:</p><p>I guess it is easier to demonstrate lust from a man's perspective as it is more visible!</p><p></p><p>Ishna Ji,</p><p>Here are some shabads by Guru Ram Das Ji which also reference attributes specific to women.

[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 134635, member: 12855"] Narayanjot Ji, You have given a wonderful explanation of the shabad wahkaur I don't think that the shabad has anything to do with gender per se. The Guru's were very good at using everyday examples that people could identify with to demonstrate their point. A male-female relationship is used to demonstrate 2 things: 1) How excessive attachement or reliance on another person is a bad thing, especially when causing you to behave in anti-gurmat ways. 2) Lust can lead to no good :down: I guess it is easier to demonstrate lust from a man's perspective as it is more visible! Ishna Ji, Here are some shabads by Guru Ram Das Ji which also reference attributes specific to women. Howver, these are positive so women are super important ;) I think in these shabads, again the gender is not the important thing but the metaphor, the point being illustrated is the focus. p1178 [COLOR=rgb(128, 0, 0)][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A8%B8%E0%A9%B0%E0%A8%A4%E0%A9%81']ਬਸੰਤੁ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%BF%E0%A9%B0%E0%A8%A1%E0%A9%8B%E0%A8%B2']ਹਿੰਡੋਲ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%B2%E0%A8%BE']ਮਹਲਾ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%AA']੪ [/URL] ॥[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(128, 0, 0)][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A9%87%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE']ਮੇਰਾ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%87%E0%A8%95%E0%A9%81']ਇਕੁ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%96%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%A8%E0%A9%81']ਖਿਨੁ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%A8%E0%A9%82%E0%A8%86']ਮਨੂਆ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%BF']ਰਹਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A8']ਨ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%95%E0%A9%88']ਸਕੈ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A8%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%A4']ਨਿਤ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BF']ਹਰਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BF']ਹਰਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A8%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%AE']ਨਾਮ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%BF']ਰਸਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%80%E0%A8%A7%E0%A9%87']ਗੀਧੇ [/URL] ॥[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(128, 0, 0)][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9C%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%89']ਜਿਉ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%95%E0%A9%81']ਬਾਰਿਕੁ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%BF']ਰਸਕਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AA%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%93']ਪਰਿਓ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A5%E0%A8%A8%E0%A8%BF']ਥਨਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE']ਮਾਤਾ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A5%E0%A8%A8%E0%A8%BF']ਥਨਿ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A2%E0%A9%87']ਕਾਢੇ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%B2%E0%A8%B2']ਬਿਲਲ [/URL] [URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%B2%E0%A9%80%E0%A8%A7%E0%A9%87']ਬਿਲੀਧੇ [/URL] ॥੧॥[/COLOR] Basanṯ hindol mėhlā 4.
