You are right. Search shows Satguru Nanak used word ਸੋਚ for purification mostly.

Word 'soch' appears in one of Saint Kabir's writings, it means 'think' there.

I do not avoid it. I watch the beauty. Then I watch my mind. I give it free ride. When mind is fully engrossed in lust, having fun thinking about various things it can do with that beauty, I slap it back into place. Watch your mind like a you are watching a shararati kid. Play with it. You would be ok after awhile.

Does 'conquering' mean finish it off or controlling? How would you erect your lund without kaam?

They reversed the great tide. There must be much more what lost in time. So why Sikhs retrieving their head were painted? Maybe something is very obvious and I am missing it.

or some call it 'bliss'?

Is he talking about ਅਨੰਦ?

This whole Shraadh thing is based on premise that food reaches one's ancestors. I don't know if does or not. Let us see what Gurbani says. Here are the lines from Satguru Nanak and Bhagat Kabir. ਇਕ ਲੋਕੀ ਹੋਰੁ ਛਮਿਛਰੀ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਵਟਿ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਖਾਇ ॥The rice balls are offered to the gods and the dead ancestors, but it is the Brahmins who eat them! - Satguru Nanak ਪਿਤਰ ਭੀ ਬਪੁਰੇ ਕਹੁ ਕਿਉ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਕਊਆ ਕੂਕਰ ਖਾਹੀ ॥੧॥Tell me, how can his poor ancestors receive what the crows and the dogs have eaten up? - Bhagat Kabir

It is not only Brahamins, people who are giving to Brahamin believing that their ancestors will get the food, are pakhandi and hypocrite too. You babaji in the audio is implying that ancestors will get the food. It is a lie. I am not saying it, gurbani says. Isn't Kabir Sahib calling Shraadh ਬਿਖਿਆ? READ. Ain't that better? I added nothing from me. BTW I knew what Gurbani says about this pakhand. It is for your reference. I did copy and paste. There is no need to type whole shabad. Lot of people don't like this fact. Guru Granth is for everybody, not reserved for some class. You can't change it. You can't hide it. You can't do parchar of ਬਿਖਿਆ giving reference from some other granth. You will get caught.

I don't listen what Baba ji said about Sharad, but I listen what my Guru says. Langar is served to needy everyday, it does not have to be Shraad day. Nothing reaches your ancestors, but only goes in mouth of Brahmin or Petu Gurudwara bhai. As Satguru says ਇਕ ਲੋਕੀ ਹੋਰੁ ਛਮਿਛਰੀ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਵਟਿ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਖਾਇ ॥The rice balls are offered to the gods and the dead ancestors, but it is the Brahmins who eat them! Kabir Sahib made it more clear in Raag Gauri Bairagan, ਜੀਵਤ ਪਿਤਰ ਨ ਮਾਨੈ ਕੋਊ ਮੂਏਂ ਸਿਰਾਧ ਕਰਾਹੀ ॥He does not honor his ancestors while they are alive, but he holds feasts in their honor after they have died. ਪਿਤਰ ਭੀ ਬਪੁਰੇ ਕਹੁ ਕਿਉ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਕਊਆ ਕੂਕਰ ਖਾਹੀ ॥੧॥Tell me, how can his poor ancestors receive what the crows and the dogs have eaten up? ||1|| End of Shabad ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇਵਾ ਪੂਜਹਿ ਡੋਲਹਿ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਨਾ ॥You worship gods and goddesses, but you do not know the Supreme Lord God. ਕਹਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਅਕੁਲੁ ਨਹੀ ਚੇਤਿਆ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਸਿਉ ਲਪਟਾਨਾ ॥੪॥੧॥੪੫॥Says Kabeer, you have not remembered the Lord who has no ancestors; you are clinging to your corrupt ways. ||4||1||45|| Yes, you shraad ceremony is a corrupt way or ਬਿਖਿਆ .

A story I heard somewhere. Guru and chela walking to a destination. On their way, they came across a river. Just before they cross the river, they saw a young, beautiful lady waiting to cross the river. She asked for help. Though she was very sexy and dressed scantily, Guru never hesitated and carried her across the river. Chela was shocked to see the hypocrisy. Guru always told him to stay away from sex and other women, but when Guru got a chance, he readily carried her in his lap. So anyway, their walk continued. Now chela was upset. Guru noticed his upset chela for couple of days and then asked him the reason why is he upset? Chela told him the reason. Now Guru said," I carried her in my lap for few minutes because she needed help. I never cared her being young and beautiful. But listen, you have been carrying her in your mind for last two days." Morale of the story: If your body need some action and your partner is not sleepy, DO IT. It is better than doing it in dream or trying to forget missed chance a night before while doing bhagti next morning.

What is more insulting? Saying that Gurus had wives and did have sex or saying that Gurus had wives but never had sex with them.

There is nothing wrong with sex and bhagti. Having a nice long session in night would help you focus more in early morning bhagti. Also not having sex with your young wife would be like running away from duties. Nine of the Gurus were married, some with multiple wives. Surely there was lot of sex. If they thought sex is any obstacle, they wouldn't have married. It is physical appetite and pleasure, just like other physical pleasures (eating tasty foods etc). Don't overindulge in these pleasures, but also don't waste your time and focus trying to suppress these urges.

It isn't that important.

Yes. But I have heard people using short version as well.

There is a word ਮਿਜਾ meaning nature.

And to experience it. Let the ego reach a point where mass holding it becomes irrelevant.

Time and space are two (of infinite) aspects of 'maya'. Feeling of space gives us illusion of being separated from others. There are moments where this whole 'thing' looks like one single incident. Illusion of time makes us believe otherwise.

Satguru says in the shabad you quoted ਦੂਜਾ ਕਉਣੁ ਕਹਾ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਈ ॥ Ḏūjā ka▫uṇ kahā nahī ko▫ī. Whom should I call the second, when there is only the One? Or tu hi tu. tu hi tu. Forgetting this is duality.
