Meanings Of Siharis

[dalsingh101]

According to Islam, God is not in the chicken. Heck, he is not even in the creation. God and creation are considered separate.

Talking to some (Sunni) Muslims one gets the impression that attaching forms to Allah is one of their cardinal no-nos? I wish I payed more attention when they were talking about it now.

Message of our Gurus does not condemn scriptures of any other religion as all scriptures contain God's name.

ਬੇਦ ਬਖਿਆਨ ਕਰਤ ਸਾਧੂ ਜਨ ਭਾਗਹੀਨ ਸਮਝਤ ਨਹੀ ਖਲੁ ॥

बेद बखिआन करत साधू जन भागहीन समझत नही खलु ॥

Beḏ bakẖi▫ān karaṯ sāḏẖū jan bẖāghīn samjẖaṯ nahī kẖal.

The Holy Saints preach the teachings of the Vedas, but the unfortunate fools do not understand them.

When guru sahibs are criticizing the acts of Pandits or mullas in Gurbani, criticism is aimed at this priestly class

who are misinterpreting scriptures for their selfish ends.It should not be interpreted as criticism of religious texts.

ਪੰਡਿਤ ਇਸੁ ਮਨ ਕਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

पंडित इसु मन का करहु बीचारु ॥

Pandiṯ is man kā karahu bīcẖār.

O Pandit, O religious scholar, reflect on this in your mind.

ਅਵਰੁ ਕਿ ਬਹੁਤਾ ਪੜਹਿ ਉਠਾਵਹਿ ਭਾਰੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

अवरु कि बहुता पड़हि उठावहि भारु ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥

Avar kė bahuṯā paṛėh uṯẖāvėh bẖār. ||1|| rahā▫o.

Why do you read so many other things, and carry such a heavy load? ||1||Pause||

मूरखि पड़ि पड़ि दूजा भाउ द्रिड़ाइआ ॥

Mūrakẖ paṛ paṛ ḏūjā bẖā▫o driṛ▫ā▫i▫ā.

The fool reads and reads, but holds tight to duality.

ਬਹੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥

He performs all sorts of rituals, but still suffers terrible pain.

Bijla Singh Jee! Why a Sihari is needed in the Gurmukhi language?

Stay on Topic. Share your knowledge rather than discussing the maturity level and diversity of our forum users.

Use PM for personal/private messages as sangat is not interested in ego based arguments between members.

On the plus side at least we have a forum where lots of youngsters participate.

I would suggest it is a brilliant opportunity for some wiser, older head to school them in a progressive way. It seems like no one else is bothering with this sometimes, given the state of a lot of the youth out there (well, I'm speaking from mainly a UK perspective here).

But we still seem to perpetuate the same old squabbles as ever. Same old chagra about caste, politics etc. etc. It's like we drum older battles into the youngsters when they really don't need it.

We need a fresh minded approach to attach the youth strongly to their heritage not extend the same old non-progressive cobblers that is already out there into cyberspace.

We need to be careful as well, I mean look how the EDL was trying get support here a while ago. Some naive, dimwitted brother may have even fallen for it.

As for the mystery regarding the use of siharees - I guess we may to go to another place to solve that.....

Lets all take a pause and reflect for a bit?

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakaal!

Dear all and GPS Jee!

Please accept my hearty thanks for the wonderful references from the reverend Gurus.

Such examples are avoided normally by the preachers and grammar pandits among Sikhs.

One wants to eat mangoes. Does he start listening, the songs about mangoes? Or, does he start reading a book about mangoes?

This is what the true Guroo is singing in this Vaak.

ਸੁਨੀਐ ਅਵਰ ਅਵਰ ਬਿਧਿ ਬੁਝੀਐ ਬਕਨ ਕਥਨ ਰਹਤਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

सुनीऐ अवर अवर बिधि बुझीऐ बकन कथन रहता ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥

The only thing remained is this. What is this avar bidhi and how it is resolved?
