This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa on Pannaa 350

aasaa mehalaa 1 ||

Aasaa, First Mehl:

vaajaa math pakhaavaj bhaao ||

Make your intellect your instrument, and love your tambourine;

hoe ana(n)dh sadhaa man chaao ||

thus bliss and lasting pleasure shall be produced in your mind.

eaehaa bhagath eaeho thap thaao ||

This is devotional worship, and this is the practice of penance.

eith ra(n)g naachahu rakh rakh paao ||1||

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||1||

poorae thaal jaanai saalaah ||

Know that the perfect beat is the Praise of the Lord;

hor nachanaa khuseeaa man maah ||1|| rehaao ||

other dances produce only temporary pleasure in the mind. ||1||Pause||

sath sa(n)thokh vajehi dhue thaal ||

Play the two cymbals of truth and contentment.

pairee vaajaa sadhaa nihaal ||

Let your ankle bells be the lasting Vision of the Lord.

raag naadh nehee dhoojaa bhaao ||

Let your harmony and music be the elimination of duality.

eith ra(n)g naachahu rakh rakh paao ||2||

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||2||

bho faeree hovai man cheeth ||

Let the fear of God within your heart and mind be your spinning dance,

behadhiaa out(h)adhiaa neethaa neeth ||

and keep up, whether sitting or standing.

laettan laett jaanai than suaahu ||

To roll around in the dust is to know that the body is only ashes.

eith ra(n)g naachahu rakh rakh paao ||3||

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||3||

sikh sabhaa dheekhiaa kaa bhaao ||

Keep the company of the disciples, the students who love the teachings.

guramukh sunanaa saachaa naao ||

As Gurmukh, listen to the True Name.

naanak aakhan vaeraa vaer ||

O Nanak, chant it, over and over again.

eith ra(n)g naachahu rakh rakh pair ||4||6||

So dance in this love, and keep the beat with your feet. ||4||6||

I used to dance, alot he he he. I used to be part of a banghara group back in the day.

But when I got into Sikhi I started to feel it wasn't right, just like listening to hip hop and banghara. So I quit!! Mind you I've put on a bit of weight since then, loool!! Or maybe its cos of all the deg I eat now!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
