Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Gurpreet Singh Jee! Quote "It seems from your last post that you think it means that it is the merging into its true origin." I do not think. It is so. Quote " . . . in this case it is not the shabad tht has died, it is the persons mind that has died (lost all false desires and ego) through the shabad." We realize Mind because of sounds in it. We realize death of mind when no sound (Shabad) is left. I wish to clear something important here. Also, at the initial stage True Shabad received from the Guru starts working and giving results. It is not that through Shabad one starts reaching results, as some translators have interpreted this. Ego is still alive if someone feels that through Shabad he is achieving goals. Guru's Shabad after killing all sounds in mind, merges in silence also. Those who want to know it truly should come to know true Simran. All things are not to discuss anyway. Balbir Singh.

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Gurpreet Singh Jee! I appreciate your curiosity and eager to know the Truth. The Guru's Vaaks are full of wisdom. The Saadhak realizes those differently with the growth of conscious mind. We realize thoughts in pictures and sound form. Thoughts are moving photos and sounds. These sounds do not allow us to realize silence. All sounds are Shabads. The Naam Shabad from the Guru and its impact is different. It penetrates the shield of sounds in mind and leads us to silence. This silence is the origin of all sounds. The direction of sound waves originated from the silence is different from the direction of the sound waves originated from the Guru's mouth that leads us to the origin. All sounds are gone when we merge in the source of origin. The Gurus have sung great verses about the Naam Shabad when it starts working. The Gurus have also sung verses when this Shabad merges into its true origin. The Gurus have sung also about the state after we merge with the Shabad in God again. The meaning of 'Sabadi', you have mentioned, is also correct. It explains that what one gets through Shabad initially. These are pure information. We realize Truth by true Naam Simran not by borrowed information. Love. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Gurpreet Singh Jee! Quote "once again sabad has a siharee on the dadaa....so once again it means . . . when one dies through the shabad . . . once again i want to say, gurbani is not limited to viakaran, but without viakaran u get false translations . . . dying through the shabad, to me, means to lose false desires and ego through the shabad." Word 'Sabadi' occurs more than nine hundred times in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. Not even once it says 'through the Shabad' or ego. Quote "ok, let me ask you, how can shabad die? 'vaahu vaahu, bani niranakaar hai' how can nirankaar ever die?" This sounds like a riddle. Gurdev says God is everything. God is Nirguna. God is Sarguna also. All that we perceive is Sarguna God and changing every moment. The language says it is dying. Does God in Nirguna Saroop also dies with? The borrowed answer is no. Gurus have experienced the Shabad also dying. They have also experienced God as eternal. Should we long for the true experience or should we change the meaning of Guru's experience according to our limitations? How can we realize God's Grace since grace of false preachers is showering on us? This is also God's Will. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Gurpreet Singh Jee! Quote "so to me, this tuk would mean... When one dies through the shabad, he kills his mind (man jeetai jag jeet), he loses his houmai, and is absorbed into god (nanak leen bhayo gobind sio, joi paanee sang paanee)." I am not sure if this translation is correct. In my view, the word Shabad written with siharee does not mean 'through the shabad'. I found another Vaak from Gurdev. "sabad marai taa sabh kichh soojhai an-din ayko jaanai." SGGS Ang 1234-9 When Shabad dies then everything is resolved. Day and night ONE becomes known. How can one resolve everything and comes to know ONE when he is dead through Shabad? Shabad does not mean ego either. Quote "can i ask you a question, I've been watching your posts for a while now, and it seems that you have a problem with accepting guru granth sahib jee as guru, is this true?" I love and respect my Guru above all. I do not have any problem with Him either. It is the wondrous experience When Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee explains. The guru is never happy with those who have not understood Him. It is strange when people translate Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee false. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! For Sikhs Shabad is the Guru. Should a Sikh be worried because Shabad may die one day. Can some please explain this? "gur kai sabad marai man maaray ha-umai jaa-ay samaa-i-aa." SGGS Ang 1068-8 Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Kam1825 Jee! Quote "it is in sri guru granth sahib ji. listen to the salok mahalla 9 katha by sant jarnail singh ji and it can be found during it." Can someone please cite words from Sant Jarnail Singh Jee? I will be thankful. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! Quote "Five are five weapons in Daster of Nihung Singh,that five are our Peers." Does one need five weapons to get One Amrit? A Nihung is one who has given all his Angs to the Guru's service. It is only after giving up all he becomes Nihung. Please do not judge a Nihung from his outfit. He has namely much more than five weapons in Dastaar. The true Nihung also enjoys Amrit every moment in the inner world. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! The previous Guru has traditionally given his Guru ship to the following Guru. Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave Gurgadde to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Is He alone the Guru of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji passing it, also when He did not include His Baanee in the present Guru? Please express your views. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Vijaydeep Singh Ji! Quote "Five may mean five forms of Guru to fight five vices." Five may also mean five fingers to hold the Baataa filled with Pahul for drinking. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and Vijaydeep Singh Ji! Quote "Anser 1.Outword Amrit is proof of inward Amrit as in Guru Panth we do outwards also as we think in us say 5ks.." I do not know if some win spiritual lottery ciphering answers this way. Quote "anwer 2.Inner Amrit in Tenth door is activated by Akal and is in all as in all Akal.So when Akal invokes innner then Akal only let world see the outword also." I will also do Ardaas for the seekers. Quote "Anwer as per Sau Sakhi beofre Khande Bate Di Pahil Charan Pahil was there,it was dipping the water of Baptism in Rumala of Guru Granth Sahib and then proceudre carried out by such water." I thought by washing Guru's Charan they made Charan Pahul. Quote "Anyway Baptism of Guru is more like Baptism by Holy Ghost" Thanks. I know now something about Holy Ghost. Quote "And First Master had it from Akal.Rather all got from Akal." May I ask? What are now all? Are they all now first master or Akaal or both? Please explain. Please say something about the need of five instead all to receive One Amrit. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and N30 Singh Ji! Thanks for your Post. Quote "The gurbani tuk you posted - talking about inner amrit which resides in all of us, its not talking about sanskar amrit." Do Sikhs have two types of Amrit? One inner and another is outer Amrit. Quote "Since it exist in all of us, hence its one." Since sanskar Amrit does not exist in all of us and rare, we seek it too? Does the wish, to find ONE remains after realizing ONE Who exists in all of us? Quote "We need sanskar amrit because we get shabad by panj pyares who are not just panj pyares by name but panj bhramgyani who give us that shabad to awaken the one amrit/naam inside us which gurbani talks about." Have all the Gurus also gone this way and process? Please give your opinion. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! Quote from Gurpreet Singh Ji "because guru gobind singh jee said so." Please provide a reference from Guru Gobind Singh Jee. I will be thankful. Quote from Sat1176 Ji "Guru de Guru jainnae but I assume it so that no one individual considers himself special or surpreme in that only he may administer amrit." Did the Gurus consider them special or supreme? Please explain. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! Gurdev is singing "naanak amrit ayk hai doojaa amrit naahi." SGGS Ang 1238-18 Nanak, Amrit is one. Other is not Amrit. Please express your views why Sikhs need five to get One Amrit. Thanks. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! They often warn and preach Sikhs to reject dehdhaaree Gurus. Is this true only for the present time? Our Gurus were dehdhaarees, lived in human body. Did Sikhs accept dehdhaaree Gurus in the past? Is truth changing with the time? Please express your views. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! I observe a strange trend these days. Some are not writing the other's name completely. They avoid writing Singh or change the word Singh to Sinh etc. Are Singhs among Sikhs diminishing? Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! It seems that I was not able to express my question clearly. Please allow me to put it in a fresh effort again. The name of a person, place or thing is a noun. Suppose Arvind is a name. Reading the word Arvind alone immediately raises a question. What, where, when, why or who is Arvind? Some preachers explain that 'Japu' is the title of the first part of Gurbaanee. They ask us to recite repeatedly the rest part following the word 'Japu'. My question is what is the verb here when 'Japu' is the subject noun and rest of the Baanee is the object noun. In my view, a statement from the Guru in ecstasy cannot be incomplete and without a verb. Specially, when Gurdev found God active where all subjects and objects got dissolved into ONE. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear Kam1825 Ji! Quote "Through the word Jap." Quote "The word Jap is to all that read it and say it to remind them that they should meditate on the name of the lord as this is the only ship that will carry you accross the worldly ocean" Have I understood it correctly? The word 'Japu' reminds all to meditate on the name of Lord that is a verb. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear Kam1825 Ji! Thanks for your reply. Please do get some time and write more on this topic. You wrote "as far as i am aware Jap is both a noun and a part of the mool mantra where all are asked to meditate on the name of God. Will write more when i get time" Through which word of Mool Mantra Gurdev has asked all to meditate on God? Please elaborate this. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! I heard often preachers talking about Japu Ji Sahib. They try to convince us that Japu is the title of the beginning part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. In their view, Japu is a noun. I got curious to know. What is the verb if Japu is the noun? Please express your views. I will be grateful. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear Vijaydeep Singh Ji! I do not have a copy of the original Rehatnama from Bhai Daya Singh Ji. Nor I have a reason to possess it and read. Quote "Anyway Mool Mantra is as it starts at Japu Ji Sahib and Guru Mantra is Wahiguru." Please provide a reference from the Gurus and oblige. Quote "So in Japu Sahib we say Omkar Aad." Well, I am still not finished reading Japu Ji Sahib. Up to now I have not come across 'Omkar Aad'. Quote "Gurumantar ie Wahiguru is told to us for doing meditation.,while we live in this world." Please let all know which Guru told us to do so. I will be grateful. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear N30 Singh Ji! Thanks for your Post. I asked a french friend of mine. He does not know what Ikongkar is and what Beej Mantar is. Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! The seed is before the roots (Mool). What is the seed if the beginning of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the Mool Mantar? Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! I observe Sikh preachers wearing a special dress on stages. How many dress codes Sikhs have? Should Sikhs follow the dress code of Guru Nanak Ji or Guru Gobind Singh Ji? Balbir Singh

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all! What have a Sikh and Sikhi to do with Janay-oo? Balbir Singh

Satsriakal to all and Mekhane'ch Jannat Ji! You wrote "If as an individual you also wish to make a dead saint your Guru than thats fine." I do not feel that my Gurus are dead saints. mloco Ji! You wrote "there is only one Nirankar. "Bhramgian aapi Nirankar" = all Bhramgiani are one = there is only one Guru." Do you want to say that all the Godly beings whose Baanee is included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are together One Guru for Sikhs? I hope I have understood you correctly. Balbir Singh
