[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 187646, member: 138"] Chaz Singh ji, Guru Fateh. Before I say something regarding this post, I would like to second Harry ji about your true Sikhi behaviour. For example, sunshine shines on a diamond the same way it shines on some rubbish. In the latter, you do not see the rubbish but the sunshine which is a commendable quality to have. Not very many have this kind of inner-sight into things. Secondly, just for your information, I knew Yogi Bhajan very well on a personal level. I was present at many of his meetings in which he mentioned not knowing anything about Yoga nor about Sikhi but he was doing it because [B]the Goras[/B] loved his BS. I am paraphrasing him. He was a great orator, the gift he cultivated and took the best out of. There are many other things about him which are not worth mentioning because they are so disgraceful for anyone, whether one is a Sikh or not. Now coming back to the video by Yogi Bhajan, I watched it. I was even aware of it before I asked you the questions about it. Due to his lack of knowledge of Sikhi, allow me to post what he said and how it affected you. I am glad that it affected you in a positive manner and led you to this path. The below are your words: According to Yogi Bhajan the meaning of the first line above in the video is,[B][I]” What Nanak is saying is, do not think”.[/I][/B] And he continues talking about it throughout. In fact all is lecture is based on this theme of [B][I]Thinking[/I][/B]. This is not what Guru Nanak said. [B]Sochai is S[U]u[/U]ch which means Pure[/B]. It does not mean [B]Thinking[/B] as Yogi Bhajan claimed and many others like him have done the same. Thought process is a collective noun. It cannot happen multiple times although our thoughts can be multiple. Thinking is a natural way in us humans. This is the unique distinction between us and the other animals in this animal kingdom of ours. So, one cannot stop thinking. Now the question arises what to think about? Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru is full of answers for that. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is filled with Shabads talking about Mann-Mind-Thinking. In this particular Pauri above, Guru Nanak is talking about taking dips in the holy waters thousands of times to become [B]pure[/B] which brings to naught. Yogi Bhajan has spent his life talking about this one line and making fool of people. In fact he has made his money on this line only. This particular video is from the later moments of his life. One can see the oxygen tubes in his nostrils. He had gone to India to get the kidney transplant where he bought them as there was a long waiting list here in the US. One could judge for oneself if this was a Sikhi gesture on his part or not. Yogi Bhajan has misinterpreted many verses of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our only Guru in the same manner because as he said himself many times that he knew nothing about Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It was always more about Yogi Bhajan than anything else. Having said all this, I want to reiterate the same with what I began my post. You looked at the Sunshine not at the rubbish dump which is one admirable trait to have and cultivate. Thanks & regards Tejwant Singh PS: If you like, I can translate the whole Pauri according to my understanding. In short, in this particular Pauri Guru Nanak is talking about the 4 different methods the Hindu sages applied in order to "find/please God" and none of them work. They have nothing to do with [B]thinking[/B] as Yogi Bhajan claimed several times when he was alive. [/QUOTE]
