The topic Gurbani is discussing in these saloaks is worldly attachment. The Shabads clearly explain that people had abandoned remembering God and only concentrated in worldly rituals which were far from the love of God. The Saloak is of Bhagat Kabeer Ji which means that during the times of Bhagat Ji there was no Khalsa Panth and therefore, this Shabad was directed towards someone else. There were two major ways preached to reach God: put ashes in hair and keep them matted and shaving the head. Both ways contradicted each other and failed to guide the humanity. The Shabad is directed towards those who kept matted hair, put ashes in them and let the hair become knots and those who shaved or plucked their hair. Both disrecpected hair and paid no attention to spiritual enlightenment which is why Bhagat Ji says that it doesn’t matter whether you shave or keep hair, nothing will be achieved. Bhagat Ji is saying that without a proper guidance from Guru, and love of God one cannot reach the goal. The true way is to treat this body as a gift and properly take care of every part of the body including hair. Altering the God created form is prohibited in Sikhi. Guru Gobind Singh Ji also spoke against the ritual of keeping matted hair>>>></p><p> </p><p>Dear Bijla Singh ji.. once again you have quoted just one line..</p><p>let us read few preceding lines and a few lines after that..</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: #810000"><p style="text-align: left">kbIr qw isau pRIiq kir jw ko Twkuru rwmu ] </p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100">(1365-14, slok, Bgq kbIr jI)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><p style="text-align: left">Kabeer, be in love with only that one, whose Master is the Lord.</p><p></span><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: #810000"><p style="text-align: left">pMifq rwjy BUpqI Awvih kauny kwm ]24] </p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100">(1365-15, slok, Bgq kbIr jI)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><p style="text-align: left">The Pandits, the religious scholars, kings and landlords - what good is love for them? ||24||</p><p></span><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: #810000"><p style="text-align: left">kbIr pRIiq iek isau kIey Awn duibDw jwie ] </p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100">(1365-15, slok, Bgq kbIr jI)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><p style="text-align: left">Kabeer, when you are in love with the One Lord, duality and alienation depart.</p><p></span><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: #810000"><p style="text-align: left">BwvY lWby kys kru BwvY Grir mufwie ]25] </p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100">(1365-16, slok, Bgq kbIr jI)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><p style="text-align: left">You may have long hair, or you may shave your head bald. ||25||</p><p></span><span style="font-family: 'GurbaniAkharThick'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: #810000"><p style="text-align: left">kbIr jgu kwjl kI koTrI AMD pry iqs mwih ] </p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"></p><p></span><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100">(1365-16, slok, Bgq kbIr jI)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolLipiHeavy'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #008100"></span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><p style="text-align: left">Kabeer, the world is a room filled with black soot;

[QUOTE="Archived_Member_19, post: 49040, member: 2850"] <<<<ਭਾਵੈਲਾਂਬੇਕੇਸਕਰੁਭਾਵੈਘਰਰਿਮੁਡਾਇ॥25॥ You may have long hair, or you may shave your head bald. ||25|| (SGGSJ, Ang 1365) The Shabad above is directly related to the previous Saloaks. The topic Gurbani is discussing in these saloaks is worldly attachment. The Shabads clearly explain that people had abandoned remembering God and only concentrated in worldly rituals which were far from the love of God. The Saloak is of Bhagat Kabeer Ji which means that during the times of Bhagat Ji there was no Khalsa Panth and therefore, this Shabad was directed towards someone else. There were two major ways preached to reach God: put ashes in hair and keep them matted and shaving the head. Both ways contradicted each other and failed to guide the humanity. The Shabad is directed towards those who kept matted hair, put ashes in them and let the hair become knots and those who shaved or plucked their hair. Both disrecpected hair and paid no attention to spiritual enlightenment which is why Bhagat Ji says that it doesn’t matter whether you shave or keep hair, nothing will be achieved. Bhagat Ji is saying that without a proper guidance from Guru, and love of God one cannot reach the goal. The true way is to treat this body as a gift and properly take care of every part of the body including hair. Altering the God created form is prohibited in Sikhi. Guru Gobind Singh Ji also spoke against the ritual of keeping matted hair>>>> Dear Bijla Singh ji.. once again you have quoted just one line.. let us read few preceding lines and a few lines after that..
