Gursikhs have the humility to think themselves lower than sangat. By having chairs in the gurdwara, I think we'd see chardi kala gursikhs take the opportunity to sit lower than the rest of the sangat. Won't this be a problem?

If everyone sits on the floor, then there won't be any problems. I don't think its about progressing or evolutionizing... i think it has more to with logic and basic understanding of how diwans are run.

In addition to that, many gursikhs have talked about "vibrations" you get from sitting in sangat. Can you have such an experience if you have to sit on chairs, isolated in comparison to on the floor?

That happens everytime when the train goes past.

Hopefully the pews will cancel out the vibrations from those damn trains. Good underfloor insulation will also help.

sitting on the floor is humility and humbleness infront of guru ji.

sitting on chairs negates the humility and humbleness.

for petes sake, just grab a chair if your so damn insistent and sit on it.

dood u must have like a billion chairs in your house us eem to be inlove w/ them

humility and humbleness ?

These words from you? Pot calling the kettle black? rolleyes.gif

ohmy.gif hahahaha good one mate :lol:

Yea, I wasn't talking about vibrations from the ground. I was talking more along the lines of vibes and stuff. I'm sure you've noticed a spiritual difference when sitting in diwan when its full and when its empty.

i myself would not sit in darbaar sahib on a chair, no matter how old or disabled i become

however i would not condem people who desperately want to sit in darbaar sahib but are unable to due to physical ailments and therefore use a chair.

someone told me the other day that gyani nahar singh crawled up the stairs to darbar sahib as he didnt want to take his wheel chair inside.

WHATEVER...This topic isn't even worth my time. He says that and She says that. What a bunch of hot air. I could quite honestly care less if someone sitts their butt in a chair or on the floor in darbar hall. That's first grade stuff there. Let's get beyond it and find the ultimatate treasures, because if you worry about crap like this, then you're going to keep on coming back in the cycle of life and death.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
