Respected friend, I have checked up at the above sites. At my computer ,it is always asking for downloading.The files are big. The downloading is likely to take some time.Could you kindly suggest some alternative from where I can download or listen if the files are not as heavy as these or suggest some thing else to read or something. Thx.

You are right as above but I make an addition here. 'Om' is the primal /first sound for hindus.Sikhs consider this to be 'Oangkar'. This is the similarity/difference between the two.

Questiion 9 ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥ [page 560] Lasting peace is obtained, contemplating the Shabad, the True Word of God. Kindly explain the meaning Of the line esp. Shabad , the tru word Of God.'

[page 558] Kindly explain the meaning Of the above line. The 'word Of shabad is also appearing here.What is 'dying while alive'. Does it mean that one should become very humble and should have no ego? kindly clarify.

Who is the Guru refd. to above.? What should I do? Just carry on With chanting 'Waheguru' all the time. Kindly clarify[taken from page 558]

I have posted upto Question no.6 and shall pst next questions when you advise me. My doubts are related to conceptualisations and contextual meanings.

Quuestion no.6 ਧੁਰਿ ਖਸਮੈ ਕਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਇਆ ਵਿਣੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਚੇਤਿਆ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥ From the very beginning, it has been the Will of the Lord Master, that He cannot be remembered without the True Guru. ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਦਾ ਰਹਿਆ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥ Meeting the True Guru, he realizes that the Lord is permeating and pervading deep within him; he remains forever absorbed in the Lord's Love. Question about Guru/Tru guru. What is the meaning of these lines.Taken from pages 555 of SGGS ji. True Guru at many places seems to mean as Lord but the above line differentiates between tru Guru and Lord. What is the significance of the term tru Guru and guru as asked for in above questions. The questioons may seem to be foolish to you but kindly answer as i am not able to concentrate on my prayers. Thanks and regards.

Hi xylitol ji, Question No.5 ਆਪੇ ਜਿਨਾ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਤਿਨ ਅੰਦਰਹੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਰਮੁ ਗਇਆ ॥੧੩॥ Those whom the Lord Himself instructs as Gurmukh - duality and doubt depart from within them. ||13|| Wat exactly is the meaning Of Duality ? Is it to mean that one believes in God sometime and some other time he is in doubt about the same. Kindly explain. Thanks and regards.
