Today while doing regular paath, the following two pankitis pulled my attention very strongly: 1) ਅੰਤਰਿ ਵਸੈ ਨ, ਬਾਹਰਿ ਜਾਇ॥ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਛੋਡਿ, ਕਾਹੇ ਬਿਖੁ ਖਾਇ॥1॥ In my humble opinion, the meaning of the above pankiti is, "the mind resides not inside (Hirda) but goes out (through the 9 doors); Why does it leave Amrby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Thank you Amar jee for sharing this saakhi. Many times such saakhis are not written in any book but are known to the people where the saakhis have occurred. Maharaj jee's Gurpurab is end of this month. Let's remember Guru Sahib's great works and fill our minds with His divine love. Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Tejasv jeeo, Quote Also, one more question in relation to this point. As you have mentioned, ਨਚਹਿ, ਕਰਹਿ, ਗਾਵਾਵਹਿ, ਮੰਗਹਿ are plural verbs are thus need to be pronounced with a nasal sound. Does this mean that all verbs ending in ਹਿ are plural and thus need to be pronounced with a nasal sound? Could you please explain when this rule is applicable,by Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Dhan Siri Guru Gobind Singh jee. I agree with Bhai Jasjit Singh in doing ardaas that the Gurpurab next year should fall on the Nanakshahi date and not on Dhumma-shaap calendar date. Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I agree Bhai Jasjit Singh jeeo. They might as well change the name of the Nanakshahi Calendar to Bikram Calendar because with all these changes, this calendar is now essentially a Bikram Calendar. Why mislead people by preaching that Sikhs have their own calendar whereas such is not the case. I have not fully studied the impact of the changes but from the outset it is showing a very grim pictby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Sukhdeep Singh jeeo, Quote Bhai Sahib there is no mention of the word seperation in the pangti ਅਖਰਾ ਸਿਰਿ ਸੰਜੋਗੁ ਵਖਾਣਿ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਏਹਿ ਲਿਖੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਿਰਿ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ The main emphasis on this pauri seems to be emphasis on Kudrat which is understood internally through Naam.

MB Singh jeeo, It makes much more sense now. I have a feeling that Talwara jee has done this meaning of this pankiti. Is this correct? Kulbir Singhby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Sukhdeep Singh jeeo, Quote My understanding of a noun in Ablative case in English is that the word has origins outside of the Greek- European language. So I do not understand how certain words in Gurbani could be consideres Ablative. There are no words that are foreign in Gurbani. Language of Gurbani is divine I dont undestand how this rule can apply to Gurbani which is beyond regions. Myby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Daughters, sisters and mothers are common. This poor girl Ruchika was molested by the demon police officer when she was merely 15 years old, in 1990. It took the bankrupt Indian courts 19 years to convict the molestor and the sentence he got was not even a slap on the wrist. He got just 6 months for this henious act. When the parents filed case against this police officer, they were harrassedby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
MB Singh jeeo, The thoughts presented in your posts are definitely according to Gurmat and I like them but to derive the meanings that you are suggesting, there are some difficulties. The word ਤਾਈ will have to be interpreted as "Vich" (the Bikaars are bothering me inside the body) but as far as I know, this word is not used in this meaning in Gurbani. I haven't done too much research onby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I don't think there is a direct reference to Christians or Jews in Gurbani but their holy books have been mentioned; but indirectly. The word "Kateb" includes not only Quran but also Bible and Torah. Some people argue that Guru Sahib was not aware of these religions since they had not become popular in India at that time. This statement is not correct.

Veer Sukhdeep Singh jeeo, Quote Bhai Sahib Im not claiming in any shape or from that I understand the pangti. But I am highly convinced that the meanings refer more to Naam and less to karma. I only asked that you to clarify your translation. Gurbani is Agam Agaadh Bodh. For this reason, I don't claim that the understanding that I have of Gurbani, is perfect.

MB Singh jeeo, Quote Veer Ji, just one more clarification please Ka means Da or (of) in the examples quoted by you. But we are not taking this meaning of Ka when we say ਭਉ ਕਾ ਇਸੁ ਤਨ ਤਾਈ Here it means; Kahada or (for what) or (of what). I do not know about any other pankiti; where ਭਉ ਕਾ has meanings as above. Please see if there is any. If the word "Ka"by Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The Little Boy who made friends with a King Once there was a little boy by the name of Kurban Singh who lived in a town with his mother.

Beautiful words Bhain jeeo. Indeed, Dastar is a crown that Guru Sahib has blessed us and the greatest thing is that he blessed it to both males and females.

Amazing Shabad!! ਮੇਰਾਬੈਦੁਗੁਰੂਗੋਵਿੰਦਾ ॥ How comforting this pankiti is. If we make Guru Sahib our doctor, then how can any disease come near us.

Tejasv jeeo, Quote Now when reading this, do we consider ਜਤੀ as a plural for all the Jati(S) or do we consider them to be singular? If we consider them to represent the whole group (Group of Jatis as an example), then we would have to use the appropriate bindian while reading thier actions.

The Similarity is that both Gurmat Bibek and Brahmanvad teaches us to discriminate but there is a major difference as well. Gurmat Bibek teaches us to discriminate based on one’s Karma whereas Brahmanvad that we know today preaches discrimination based on birth. Brahmanvad preaches that one is supreme merely because one is born in the family of Brahmans but Gurmat on the other hand preaches thaby Kulbir Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
