Veer Ji, like Bhai Kulbir Singh Ji I do believe that we have a inner
war going on inside and the biggest enemy is manmant. But I do believe
the pangtis in Chaupey Sahib are not only referring to an inner enemy, but
they are also referring to physical enemy as well.
When Guru Sahib wrote these Bir Ras verses in Sri AnandPur Sahib he was facing much opposition between
non sikhs ( asikhs) such as Turks and Hill Chiefs. War was inevitable and Guru Sahib
is merely asking Sri Akal Purakh JI for victory over the dusht. GUru Sahib had much respect
for Sri Sahib and he is doing ardas that Sri Sahib protect the saints ( Gurmukhs) and destroy
the non- saints ( naastics). There is no greater seva then serving and protecting the saints, and there
is no greater seva then removing the naastics that try to inflict harm on the saints. Through WaaheGurus
Kala blessed was NarSingh who destroyed Harnaksh and protected SAINT Prahlad JI.
I also believe Kal and Akal mean the same thing and is referring to Akal Purakh.
