I came across this pangti when I was at the gurdwara listening to kirtan: ਜੋ ਸਿਰੁ ਸਾਂਈ ਨਾ ਨਿਵੈ ਸੋ ਸਿਰ ਦੀਜੈ ਡਾਰਿ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸੁ ਪਿੰਜਰ ਮਹਿ ਬਿਰਹਾ ਨਹੀ ਸੋ ਪਿੰਜਰੁ ਲੈ ਜਾਰਿ॥ chop off that head which does not bow to the Lord O Nanak, take that body, in which there is no pain of separation from the Lord-take that body and burn it My Punjabi is very limited and I don’t know what the proper meaning of the pangti is, as I’m sure there is a deeper meaning behind the vague translation. thanks

so .....heres the deal ,i took a hukam from mahraj.Here it is: DnwsrI mhlw 1 ] Dhanaasaree, First Mehl: shij imlY imilAw prvwxu ] That union with the Lord is acceptable, which is united in intuitive poise. nw iqsu mrxu n Awvxu jwxu ] Thereafter, one does not die, and does not come and go in reincarnation.

Also another thing is that i've been doing vichaar on some of the things mentioned in the hukam also hv been watching some Basics of Sikhi street parchar video which have the same vichaars in them ( about the oneness and other stuff also mentioned in the hukam and also going around in my brain,in Basics of Sikhi vids and also in my vichaars,so.....? ?) a little help plzz

Waheguru i ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh ji, these days lot of smagams are going on where thousands of sangat get together, everybody seems to be gursikh, i have seen like AKHAND path is going in queues and right next to it keertan is also going on, is that gurmat? I can companre it with a example, if you are speaking and trying to make people understand something and the listner in stead of listening to you starts speaking and repeating your words, how would you feel? same way like akhand path means without a break and people do keertan while the path is going on that means people are not listening what guru is saying instead they want guru to listen to them first. for guru its ok people do it on regular basis, and guru still gives us everything but is it gurmat, i am not talking about regular people i am talking about amritdhari singhs and kaurs I would really appreciate comments and advice about this grwoing trend, which I think its wrong, also I have seen people doing JAP ji sahib path or sukhmani sahib ji da path alond with Akhand path, so are we listening to guru again??
