So more studying, now the reincarnation process is it actually what we will become after passing or are we talking about our mind is constantly being reincarnated.
Acting like an i.diot, your mind is reincarnated into a donkey, thinking about sex all the time, your mind is reincarnated into a dog etc.
As nobody knows what happens after death.

If one expects the market to recover you can short stocks before the fall or buy at the bottom.
My family actually aquired a lot of stock and property during the great depression that way. We recovered from that though. No guarantees on recoveries, so if it doesn't recover, you just put your get out of town buy water and ammo money on useless stocks.
If it does recover, you recover rich.
My grandfather was just a young boy and he litetally had to stave off starvation hunting. Thankfully he could shoot anything he could see on the run no problem. An insanely gifted marksmen. Used to sit around shooting bees out the air because they annoyed him. Would shoot the points off barbwire fences for fun at 100m. Didn't shoot anyone in wwII. Lol. Made it back with one leg and a lot of saves.
Did butt stroke an ss officer with his rifle. They stormed a house and everyone in it was a child ss, so they held fire, but the ss officer was telling the children to shoot so my grandfather hit him with the rifle to shut him up, and he didn't get back up. Oh well. Kids were taken prisoner and treated well.
The way america treated prisoners in wwII is one of the only truly dignified things we've done.
That was a special generation that fought that war.
Don't put any money in stocks you can't lose and yes maybe you can short sell or buy low. I'd consider other assets than stocks though too. Everything is going to go on sale.
If anything i would buy gold, silver, diamond stocks, I bought a lot in hcmc, amc and a few in disney, but starting to understand how the game works. The big boys never go for super amounts of money, just buy low sell on a little high, repeat process. It a full time job to he honest, time I do not have.

My friend is an amritdhari nitnemi Singh.
He got married an year back.
After marriage, he came to know his father in law is a missionary "sikh".
He regularly debates with my friend that Dasam Granth is all fake and there is no need for khande baate da amrit. My friend's wife also supports her father.
My friend is confused and doesn't want to hv a child in such a family.
what shud he do?
Look your Guru wrote it, plus its amrit bhani, he wouldn't even be Amritdhari if it wasn't for Dasam Granth, can we think before speaking.

It can also point to the tek or asthaai which is the main line or first lines in music lyrics. I dont know the english word for it: the chorus line? The one that is repeated before every stanza?
So it can tell us which pangti is to be the chorus line ( if thats the right word) when singing the shabad. It is usually also the main idea or topic of a shabad as Gnostic said. Or if the shabad is full of questions and examples, it will be the answer and main point.
Yeah , what you are talking about is the chorus, and yeah its the jist of the song, and usually the melody and lyrics, one understands first, because its repeated so many times.

6 hours ago, intrigued said:What if we just switched to an Ik Ongkar? It's already well established and defined and is consistent enough in the panth. In many cases, it is also identified as a common Sikh symbol and often is alternatively used with the Khanda symbol we have today.
Don't think I like the idea of ik onkar , as a car badge etc, which will happen.

So was watching some videos, and one led to another, as usual on YouTube lol
But stumbled across a video about Rahao, and its the fundamental point of any Shabad.
So when singing a Shabad, are we actually meant to pause? If not Rahao can not mean pause, and if it doesn't what does it actually mean?

Baba Buddha Baba Buddha ji (6 October 1506 - 8 September 1631), one of the most venerated, primal figures of early Sikhism, was born on 6 October 1506 at the village of Katthu Nangal, 18 km northeast of Amritsar.
After sometime the family settled down in Dhalla village not far away from river Ravi opposite Kartarpur. "Bura", as he was originally named, was the only son of Bhai Suggha, a Hindu Jatt of Randhawa clan, and Mai Gauran, who was born into a Sandhu family. Also referred to reverently as Baba Buddha Ji; Bhai Buddha occupies a unique position in Sikh history and in the hearts of all Sikhs.
He applied the tilak of guruship to five Gurus, saw and had the vision of seven Gurus and remained in close association with the first six Sikh Gurus from 1521 to 1631 for over one hundred years. He was the first "priest" (or Giani) of Harimandir Sahib, and laid the foundations of Dera Baba Nanak and most of the holy buildings at Amritsar.
It was the greatness of Guru Nanak that the seva (service or task) of applying tilak was given to Baba Buddha ji, given the fact that he belonged to a so-called low cast.
Background One day, when he was young, he was grazing cattle outside the village when Guru Nanak happened to pass by. According to Bhai Mani Singh's, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala (The Holy Sikh Jewels), Bura went up to him and, making obeisance with a bowl of milk as his offering, prayed to him saying: "O sustainer of the poor! I am fortunate to have had a sight of you today. Absolve me now from the circuit of birth and death." The Guru said, You are only a young man, yet you talk very wisely." Then he related a story to Guru Nanak, "Some soldiers set up camp by our village and then they mowed down all of our crops, the ripe ones and the unripe ones, as well.
Then it occurred to me that, when no one could check these indiscriminating soldiers, who would restrain death from laying his hand upon us, young or old." At this Guru Nanak pronounced the words: "You are not a child; you possess the wisdom of an old man." From that day, Bura, came to be known as Bhai Buddha, buddha in Punjabi means wise (wisdom usually only comes with age).
Later, when advanced in years, he was known as Baba Buddha. Devoted Service to 6 Gurus Guru Nanak & Guru Angad Dev Bhai Buddha became a devoted disciple of Guru Nanak. His marriage at the age of seventeen at Achal, near Batala, did not distract him from his chosen path and he spent more time at Kartarpur where Guru Nanak had taken up his abode than at Katthu Nangal. Such was the eminence he had attained in Sikh piety that, at the time of installation of Bhai Lahina as Guru Angad, (Nanak II), Guru Nanak asked Bhai Buddha to apply the ceremonial tilak on Bhai Lahina's forehead.
Bhai Buddha lived to a ripe old age and had the unique honour of anointing all of the four following Gurus. Guru Angad Dev ji invented the Gurmukhi script, the script used in the Guru Granth Sahib. In order to popularize the new script, the Guru started teaching it to the children of the Sikhs. Bhai Budha also learned Gurmukhi (lit. from the Gurus' mouth) and then took up the Guru's duty to teach it.
Throughout his live Bhai Buddha continued to serve the Gurus with complete dedication, remaining an example of holy living for the growing body of disciples. Guru Amar Das and Guru Ram Das He devoted himself with zeal to such tasks as; construction of the Baoli at Goindval under the instruction of Guru Amar Das and the excavation of the Amrit Sarovar (Amritsar) the city that lent its name to Amritsar, under Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan. The ben tree under which he would sit, supervising the excavation of the Amritsar pool still stands in the precincts of the Golden Temple.
He subsequently retired to a bar (a forest), where he tended the livestock of the Guru Ka Langar. What is left of that forest is known as 'Ber Baba Buddha Sahib'. The following tuks (lines of Gurbani) can be found in the Guru Granth Sahib that refer to the ascendency to Guruship of the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das: ਹਰਿ ਭਾਇਆ ਸਤਿਗਰ ਬੋਲਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਪਰਖ ਸਜਾਣ ਜੀਉ ॥ ਰਾਮਦਾਸ ਸੋਢੀ ਤਿਲਕ ਦੀਆ ਗਰ ਸਬਦ ਸਚ ਨੀਸਾਣ ਜੀਉ ॥੫॥ Har bẖĝ▫i▫ĝ saṯgur boli▫ĝ har mili▫ĝ purakẖ sujĝṇ jī▫o. Rĝmḝĝs sodẖī ṯilak ḝī▫ĝ gur sabaḝ sacẖ nīsĝṇ jī▫o. (5) The Lord was pleased as the True Guru spoke; he was blended then with the all-knowing Primal Lord God.
The Guru then blessed the Sodhi Ram Das with the ceremonial tilak mark, the insignia of the True Word of the Shabad. (5) (SGGS p923)
Guru Arjan Dev & Guru Hargobind Guru Arjan Dev ji placed his young son, Hargobind, under Bhai Buddha's instruction and training. When the Adi Granth (Guru Granth Sahib) was installed in the Harmandar on 16 August 1604, Bhai Buddha was appointed as the granthi by Guru Arjan. He thus became the first high priest of the sacred shrine, now popularly known as the Golden Temple.
Following the martyrdom of Guru Arjan on 30 May 1606, Guru Hargobind raised, in front of, the Harimandar a platform called the Akal Takhat, the Timeless Throne or the Throne of the Timeless, the construction of which was entrusted to only Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas, no one else was allowed to take part in building the platform.
After the Martyrdom of Guru Arjan, the investiture ceremony of Guru Hargobind was held on the new platform that Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas had built. Even then, the new platform facing the entrance of the causeway to the Harmandar Sahib was referred to as the Akal Takht Sahib.
Bhai Buddha, as he had done so many times before, was called on again to perform the initiation as he had done before, but on that day (24 June 1606) Guru Hargobind ji took Sikhi in a new direction for he asked Baba Buddha for a sword, rather than the traditional seli that had once been worn by Guru Nanak.
Guru Hargobind then put on not one but two swords; one on his left side and the other on his right. He declared that the two swords signified "Miri" and "Piri": "Temporal Power" and "Spiritual Power", one which would smite the oppressor and the other which would protect the innocent. Last Days Baba Buddha passed his last days in meditation at Jhanda Ramdas, or simply called Ramdas, a village founded by his son, Bhai Bhana, where the family had since shifted from its native village of Katthu Nangal. As the end came, on 8 September 1631, Guru Hargobind was at his bedside.
According to the Gurbilas Chhevin Patshahi, the Guru gave his shoulder to the bier and performed the last rites over Bhai Gurdas, further quoting the Gurbilas, started a reading of the Adi Granth in memory of Baba Buddha.
The obsequies concluded with Bhai Gurdas completing the recital and Guru Hargobind presenting a turban to Bhai Buddha's son, Bhana. Two shrines stand in Ramdas commemorating Baba Buddha, Gurdwara Tap Asthan Baba Buddha Ji, where the family lived on the southern edge of the village, and Gurdwara Samadhan, where he was cremated.

Where should I place Holy Bible in my house? I am sikh and we have a like a little place where we have placed Gotka Sahib ji and Guru ji's photos. All these days I had the Holly Bible in a box and I felt that it is disrespectful. On the other hand I can place it next to the Gutka Sahib because when I will bow (matha tekna) I will also bow in front of Holy Bible. But in Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji is written that we cannot worship any thing else except them. So where should I place it ?
Put in a bedroom draw, they leave them there so you can read a chapter before bed time or when you get up.

But they failed to respect any attempts at compromise/gesture of friendship. In fact, the first mosque was built in Kochi, Kerala in the 7th century itself, and the Prophet's family given refuge after his death, as they were escaping persecution. Even the Kaaba was a Shiva temple with 360 idols which were subsequently removed. But will there ever be an admission of this fact.
You do not follow the deeds of someone, you are trying to become your Guru, so I suggest you follow Guru Granth Sahib Ji and get the rest of the views out of your head, its difficult but I'm also trying.

Actually nothing has any meaning you give it meaning. All interpretation are subjective based on mind conditioning. What may seem wrong to one may be right for another based on his interpretation like Muslims believe all non Muslims are Kafirs and should be killed and their women raped and enslaved.
Do you think your Guru would build a Mosque for people like this or has someone down the line told a lie and now its become their truth
