You will see the counts for the Saloks are 5 but the Saloks printed are only 4. How it is even possible that count are more than Saloks written? Some thing is very wrong here. Now the possibility is either one Salok is missing or one heading ਮ: ੧ is missing? Singhs who did the investigation thoroughly they found heading ਮ: ੧ is missing and they found one old hand written saroop where it appears as:
ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮ: ੧ ॥ ਦੁਖੁ ਦਾਰੂ ਸੁਖੁ ਰੋਗੁ ਭਇਆ ਜਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਤਾਮਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥ ਤੂੰ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰਣਾ ਮੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਜਾ ਹਉ ਕਰੀ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ ਮ: ੧॥ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਵਸਿਆ ॥ ਤੇਰਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਲਖਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਜਾਤਿ ਮਹਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਹਿ ਜਾਤਾ ਅਕਲ ਕਲਾ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥ ਤੂੰ ਸਚਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਿਫਤਿ ਸੁਆਲ੍ਹ੍ਹਿਉ ਜਿਨਿ ਕੀਤੀ ਸੋ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਰਤੇ ਕੀਆ ਬਾਤਾ ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰਣਾ ਸੁ ਕਰਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥੨॥…
Which makes sense now because now numbers of counts and Saloks are even but you will argue that we never heard any one reciting
ਮ: ੧ before ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਵਸਿਆ ॥ but that does bot stop serious seekers of Gurbani to recite. So daas would suggest that current printing needs ultra attention of panth that we should prioritize our efforts on this basis first.
Daas totally agrees with Jasjit Singh ji new jersey
if u look at Sukhmani Sahib, all the Saloks are only 2-3 lines, and this method is applied throughout all of Guru Granth Sahib, as well as Sri Dasam Granth Sahib.
Daas himself doesnt seem to understand how can a salok be 4-5 lines,
concerning the authenticity of the Gutka Sahib, i totally agree with the format its written. we have not understood Gurbaani and the way its written, but a lot of people dont understand that it is important and duty to learn and understand the grammar of Gurbaani, and why its written the way its written, and if there has been any mistake, how to correct it.
this is the reason why this certain piece of writing which happens to come last after Guru Granth Sahib ji in most saroops these days, has been believed to be Gurbaani, of course you all know what daas is talking about.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LEARN THE FORMAT AND GRAMMAR OF GURBAANI, WITHOUT IT WE CAN NOT UNDERSTAND GURBAANI PROPERLY.
Bed Kateb Kahho Mat Choothe, Chootha Jo Naa Bicharai ll
A common mistake regarding the above pankti that lot of Sikhs make is that, the pankti means dont call the beds and katebs false, false are those who dont believe in them.
Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir SIngh ji has dome viakhia of this in Gurmat Gorvata, the viakhia is as follows
The "Kahho" is saying, calling out that say it the "haahaa" after the second "haahaa" and aunkarr under it makes it a verb, which means say it,
so the correct meaning of this pankti is that: call the beds and katebs false, and those who believe in them are also false.
the above example just proves how important it is to study the grammar and the format of Gurbaani, because without this, we can not understand Gurbaani properly.
Similarly, the manglacharan is also part of this format of Gurbaani, which is why we need to pronounce it first. the manglacharan refers to Waheguru, look at this utmost humility Guru Sahib has. first Guru Sahib refers to Waheguru, then Guru Sahib talks about the Raag, then Mahalaa 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, and 9. Guru Sahib doesnt even say his name.
BUt we think we are greater than Guru ji, we will refer to waheguru after, the raag is more important than him, thats out thinking.
btw Bhai Sahib Kulbir SINgh jeeo, when are you going to put up that article about Manglacharan.
