In my humble opinion, many Taksali and AKJ people both agree that Bhai Jarnail Singh jee's bani is shudh. Some AKJ people complain that taksalis never accent some words and TAksalis complain the AKJ accent too many words... Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara Jee kind of read gurbani in the middle of both extremes and Bhai Jarnail Singh jee's uchaaran (www.gursikhijeevan.com) is also very good and a compromise between different schools of thought.
I think of course love matters - but you will really be showing your love when you take santhiya classes.
I am not very honest and reliable, and I am not showing my love because I have only taken santhiya once, of nitnem. Many Gurmukhs have taken santhiya of nitnem three or four times, and also of Guru Granth Sahib. I hope someday I can do this.
There are many places you can take SAnthiya - I'm not sure about UK but in Canada for sure. Please ask around.
I would not advise you to stop doing paath... just maybe stick with tapes and also do how much you can and like "heydudes" veerjee said, just do ardaas - Guru jee is ON YOUR SIDE !!
i'm not sure how to answer this but in my humble opinion Gurmat is that which is sanctioned and taught by your Guru.
essentially, our mind is covered with a curtain of maya and the five vices. when we use it to do things, we sometimes act from the perspective of maya and the five vices.
however, if we only use the guru's teachings as a reference point for how to act in our life - then we will be embracing and following gurmat.
"man kee mat mohay sagal teaagee"
it is important to "tyaag" or abandon manmat - and adopt guru's mat
Guru's mat is guru's intellect, and in order to have guru's intellect we need to read guru's bani.
Guru's bani lets us know what is right and wrong.
And since I don't read much, I'm not quite sure what's right and waht's wrong at this time... hehehe... so I'll shut up
