Respect Sri Guru Granth Sahib

[WaljinderSingh]

This is for the people who come on this forum and say there is no need to respect Guru Granth Sahib and that we need not to take action if one disrespects Gurbani or our Guru Sahib.

One night Guru Har Rai Sahib was resting. A congregation of Sikhs singing gurbani arrived quite late, having traveled from afar. When the Sangat started singing loudly below his window, Guru Sahib woke up and rushed down to greet them. In this haste to get up sahib hurt his foot against the leg of the charpoy, but unmindful of his bleeding foot went down to receive the sangat. On seeing Guru Sahib’s bleeding foot, one of the Sikh’s asked, “Maharaj, the words that we sing are yours; Gurbani is yours and so is the Granth sahib then why the hurry to receive us?”

Sahib replied, “You are right, but always remember that this bani is the perception of God. One perceives the Guru in the form of this gurbani. Gurbani is the Guru’s soul. It is therefore imperative to revere and honor gurbani. This bani is like a ship that carries us across through this worldly ocean.”

Remember:-

Jo sikh gurbani bhae karay, Bin pryas bhuv sagar taray

Jin bhae adab na bani dhara, Janao so sikh naahi hamara.

The sikh who reveres gurbani, Effortlessly swims across this world oceon

One who has no respect for bani, Consider him not to be my sikh

-Sri Gurpartap Suraj Granth:

Basically who has no respect for Gurbani or Sri Guru Granth Sahib and tells we not do any thing when someone disrespects our Guru , is not a sikh. The end.

So being a sikh you will feel the pain when someone disrespects our Satguru and the person must be dealt with in such a way that no one dares to do it again.

Gurfateh.

Veer I guess you are referring to me .....What is your definition of respect -

If you call me to your house to deliver a sermon , my view of respect will be you and your family members listen to what I say (and even better if you incorporate my teachings in your life).

When we do akhand paath ,we are inviting 6 gurus , bhagats, bhats to our house to show us the way - but we all know how akhand paths go , there is hardly one person in the room.

Word Guru means dispeller of darkness , one who shows us the way , if you are not heeding guru's knowledge - to you he is a Devta (diety) , not a Guru.

I have said that before and will say that again - Guru Granth sahib is shining sun - its beyond insult/ desecration by mere mortals.

Dont limit your show of respect to matha tek, chavar, sukhasan , parkaash, show some real respect by studying Guru's message. I read one page of SGGS everyday , can you say that about yourself ?

Finally if you are that worked up - bhanreawalan has burnt multiple saroops of SGGS , Ashhutosh has repeatedly insulted our gurus - why sit behind the security of internet and instigate others to use violence against these individuals when you are not willing to put your own life on line - that makes you a hypocrite and a 'paper' or shall I say internet warrior.

Take my challenge up , if SGGS seems to daunting start with a bani like Asa di war , once you have studied it we will talk , I bet you , you will be a transformed person .
