If God Is Present In Stone Idol Also , Then Whats Wrong With Worshipping It ?

[sunny_love_kirtan]

why wud u worship a stone when u have jagat jyot partakh parbraham SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI

anybody who believe it should not require or provide any further answers or explanations.

hopefully no one will discuss abt it anymore why we shud or why we shudnt

[Bijla Singh]

Balbir Singh, you are the one spreading anti-Gurmat here. Taking one line out of the entire Shabad and twisting its meanings to suit your own manmat is not an act of a Sikh. Gurbani is replete with Shabads which speak against idol worship. I never wrote that God is not in idols but its worship is not Gurmat. Human being is much better than a stone since human jooni is the highest then why shouldn’t one worship a human body over an idol? Hating an idol and rejecting its worship are two different things and i thought you were old enough to know the difference. Here is the entire Shabad and tell me where does it advocate to worship idols or where does the word “moorat” in Gurbani refer to idols?

ਜੋਗ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਸੁਨਿ ਆਇਓ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ॥

ਮੋ ਕਉ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਬੁਝਾਇਓ ॥1॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਨਉ ਖੰਡ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੀ ਇਸੁ ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਰਵਿਆ ਨਿਮਖ ਨਿਮਖ ਨਮਸਕਾਰਾ ॥

ਦਸ ਬੈਰਾਗਨਿ ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ਤਬ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਜੋਗੀ ਥੀਏ ॥2॥

ਭਰਮੁ ਜਰਾਇ ਚਰਾਈ ਬਿਭੂਤਾ ਪੰਥੁ ਏਕੁ ਕਰਿ ਪੇਖਿਆ ॥

ਸਹਜ ਸੂਖ ਸੋ ਕੀਨੀ ਭੁਗਤਾ ਜੋ ਠਾਕੁਰਿ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਲੇਖਿਆ ॥3॥

ਜਹ ਭਉ ਨਾਹੀ ਤਹਾ ਆਸਨੁ ਬਾਧਿਓ ਸਿੰਗੀ ਅਨਹਤ ਬਾਨੀ ॥

ਤਤੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ਡੰਡਾ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਓ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਨੀ ॥4॥

ਐਸਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਭੇਟੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਕੇ ਬੰਧਨ ਕਾਟੈ ॥

ਸੇਵਾ ਪੂਜ ਕਰਉ ਤਿਸੁ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਕੀ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਪਗ ਚਾਟੈ ॥5॥11॥132॥

The Shabad describes true yoga of Gurmat and all of the yogic words are redefined. Pay attention to the Rahao pankti which clearly says that Satguru through Shabad showed the true way to yoga in which Guru’s wisdom, following hukam, seeing God everywhere, singing bani and doing vichaar of baani is the essence. Such a person is true devotee of God and Guru Sahib says that he forever remains humble in his service. Moorat refers to true character or an ideal character of a true devotional bhagat. Words ਪਗ ਚਾਟੈ literally mean licking feet which is a metaphor for being humble and having nimarta. If the word moorat referred to an idol then you are insinuating that Guru Sahib advocates going to hindu temples and licking feet of idols. Your understanding of bani is either very poor or you are intentionally trying to confuse the Sikhs who are less acquainted with Bani.

however i posted that no one shud require or provide anything

it was a different thing and very important to answer balbir singh and bijla singh did it well. if moorat word comes in any shabad that doesnt mean that it is moorti pooja.

and here bhagat kabeer ji clearly denying moorti or stone pooja

Dear all and Bijla Singh Jee!

I hope you keep the discussion live and stick to the topic.

You wrote "Taking one line out of the entire Shabad and twisting its meanings to suit your own manmat is not an act of a Sikh."

Is reading the entire Sri Guru Granth Saahib Jee again and again is not manmat? Please provide one reference from the true Gurus where they have suggested so. I will be grateful.

My Gurdev suggests receiving so much through ONE Word but you are feeling uneasy with one Vaak from the Guru. Why?

Please listen. Guru Naanak Dev Jee is singing.

Why you and your preachers suggest jumping from one Vaak to another restlessly? Is this that gives you need of thousands of Akhand Paaths?

Quote "Hating an idol and rejecting its worship are two different things . . ."

And you are the master of manipulating the mind when not to hate the idol but always rejecting its worship.

Quote "Human being is much better than a stone since human jooni is the highest . . ."

My Gurdev says all is Godly. Nothing is higher or lower.

Please provide a reference from your Guru and oblige.

Thanks for referring the wonderful Vaaks from Guru Arjan Dev Jee.

wow this is so ridiculous. you can clearly tell that in what context bhagat ji is talking about stone. worshiping stone IS stone idolizing.

u have not provided any thing which support ur views even 1 %

u asked why we offer flowers in Gurdwaras?

as i mentioned earlier and bhagat kabeer ji supporting it

AND I GUESS YOU NEED TO READ THE SHABAD AND ITS MEANING CAREFULLY BEFORE GETTING TOO EXCITED AND JUMPING AND POSTING

for your i have highlighted few words

1. You said pahan means stone not stone idol, if you read translation it is translated as Stone Idol

2. we offer flowers in gurdwara because Satgur Jaagta Hai Deo

offering flowers to imaginary pictures of guru sahib is manmat so as stone or statues.

when you read the word moorat in gurbani, it reffers to word moorat in MOOL MANTAR and not the moorti or a statue or an imaginary image.

i am so papi that i im replying to this post after saying that no one shud do it. But we cannot ignore ur ignorance.

[Balbir Singh]

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakaal!

Dear all and Sunny_love_kirtan Jee!

You wrote "You said pahan means stone not stone idol, if you read translation it is translated as Stone Idol."

Experiencing the reverend Guru's Vaak is possible by listening Him.

The translator's grace will be showering by reading his translation.

Quote "we offer flowers in gurdwara because Satgur Jaagta Hai Deo"

Strange. Others offer flowers and their idol is stone and lifeless. You offer flowers and your idol is Satgur Jagta Hai Deo.

Kabeer Jee is saying that in each and every leaf there is life.

Wow! Plucking flowers and offering such Bali to your Jaagtaa Gurdev is accepted in Gurdwaaraas.

Quote "when you read the word moorat in gurbani, it reffers to word moorat in MOOL MANTAR and not the moorti or a statue or an imaginary image."

Please listen. Guru Naanak Dev Jee is singing.

ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਮਹੇਸ ਇਕ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਆਪੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਾਰੀ ॥੧੨॥

ब्रहमा बिसनु महेस इक मूरति आपे करता कारी ॥१२॥

Gurdev is singing about ik Sargun Moorati, not about Akaal.

Akaal does not have any Moorati.

I hope you keep the discussion live and stick to the topic.

Follow your own advice first and stick to the topic.

Is reading the entire Sri Guru Granth Saahib Jee again and again is not manmat? Please provide one reference from the true Gurus where they have suggested so. I will be grateful.

Answer the question first. Don’t go off topic. Provide proofs that I am advocating akhand paaths or it has anything to do with this topic. Reading baani is a pious act and Gurbani supports it. Sikhs read 5 banis in the morning. If this is not manmat then reading entire Guru Granth Sahib is also not manmat. Many panktis like “Gurbani Gavoh Bhai...” and “Aeyo Sunan Paran Ko Bani..”advocate reading bani but not a single verse suggests taking one line out of context and twisting its meaning like you did.

My Gurdev suggests receiving so much through ONE Word but you are feeling uneasy with one Vaak from the Guru. Why?

My objection is not towards the pankti but towards you misinterpreting it. You are contradicting yourself line after line. If so much is received through Shabad (one word) then why worship an idol which serves no purpose? Your own statement rejects your own manmat. Bhagat Kabir Ji makes it clear that stone is carved out and fashioned into an idol but it still remains a stone, a lifeless object.

Why you and your preachers suggest jumping from one Vaak to another restlessly? Is this that gives you need of thousands of Akhand Paaths?

Who are my preachers? Do I have a group of paathis? What proofs do you have to justify your accusations? You are the one jumping from one Shabad to another without discussing it or proving your point. Now are you diverting from topic. I guess your mind did not mature with your age.

And you are the master of manipulating the mind when not to hate the idol but always rejecting its worship.

Shabad you posted was not even remotely related to idol worship. When proven wrong you diverted the topic and started posting your mumbo jumbo. Hating and worshipping are two different things. Even a child knows the difference. Sikhs follow rehat of Guru Sahib which rejects idol worship. Neither did Guru Sahib worship idols nor did they instruct us to do so.

My Gurdev says all is Godly. Nothing is higher or lower.

Please provide a reference from your Guru and oblige.

My Guru is Guru Granth Sahib and that is the only Guru in the world. If your guru is someone else then he is wrong. Manukha jooni is the only way to get liberation and meditate upon Naam. This is why it is superior. Here is just one couplet.

ਅਵਰ ਜੋਨਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਪਨਿਹਾਰੀ ॥ ਇਸੁ ਧਰਤੀ ਮਹਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਿਕਦਾਰੀ ॥

May I ask why preachers suggest to read whole Granth repeatedly to resolve the Gur of one Sabad?

Why did Guru Sahib give us the Granth if we should read only one Shabad? Why are you suggesting Sikhs to not read Bani? You have not provided a single proof from bani that idols or stones should be worshiped.

I think the original poster has received his answer and it is not worth wasting my time on you.

[sunny_love_kirtan]

Balbir Singh you are not even able to understand a common sense thing. One of the Basic principle of Sikhism is not doing moorti pooja or idol worship, not even imaginary pictures of guru sahibs. Why are we explaining you advance stuff when u fail to understand the basic thing and still arguing on something as bijla singh said a child could tell a difference.

Topic Should be closed.

[Only five]

This is completely ridiculous and very sad that someone that calls himself a Sikh will even say idol worship is gurmat. Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji is clear that idol worship of stone is not the Guru's way. Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji makes this stance aswell in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji.

This Shabad is by Guru Gobind Singh in Dasam Granth on Pannaa 132

This thread needs to be closed because nindiya of Gurbani is happening by pro stone worshippers to push their own manmat on Sikhs here.

What I am going to say now is said with all the love in the world and please those that say idol worship is gurmat, don't take it as an offense because all I am doing is explaining your stand here. Since stones can be worshipped on the bases that God is in the stone then since God is in dog and human feces it also can be worshipped and if a stone idol worshipper says no to this very disgraceful state, then he/she is contradicting their own beliefs.

Edit: Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji's bani is also very clear on this topic.
