We need to decrease the speed. Take as long as you want! As long you've understood what you've read rather than done path and that's it (freedom) < concept of the mind.

Many people are under the misconception that speed amounts to nothing while doing Paath slowly is better. It all depends on the person. Many people do many Paaths a day, for them speed is better for concentration and focus while for some the opposite is true and they like doing Paath slowly. Baba Nand Singh Jee use to do Sukhmani Sahib within minutes because his mind was better tuned for speed. Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale did a hundred Japji Sahib Paaths, Panj Granthi and other paaths besides his Nitnem every day because his mind was also better adapted to doing paath fast. Doing a large amount of Paath with speed everyday is a good way to increase focus on the Paath and also you get to do a larger armount of Paath. But do what ever suits you, if doing slowly you focus more, then do that. Besides, this discussion is not about fast or slow paath.

My only point to post here was that people here saying that you can and should eat before your morning Nitnem is over while traditionally one should first do their morning Ishnaan and Nitnem before eating unless you are elderly or sick and cannot wait for these reasons.

WRT SPEED OF PATH - CAN WE HAVE A SEPERATE THREAD PLEASE?

HAS ANYBODY HEARD KIRTAN OF BHAI RANDHEER SINGH JEE - HAZOORI RAAGI DARBAAR SAHIB, HERE YOU GO -

THAT'S THE WHY I LIKE TO DO MY NITNEM SOMETIMES (ESPECIALLY JAAP SAHIB), SO 2-3-4 TIMES REPITIION OF A SINGLE LINE,SLOWLY TO MAKE GURBAANI GO IN MY SOUL/BRAIN/BLOOD. SO, I FEEL SLOW IS THE KEY ..., FAST LOOKS LIKE I PROBABLY JUST WANT TO RUN AND CATCH A TRAIN ... PROBABLY MY "SOUL", INNER MAKES A LOT OF NOISE, AND TILL THE TIME I DON'T DO PAATH SLOWLY, SOUL DOES NOT LISTEN AND HENCE NO BENEFIT OF DOING IT. IF ONE IS DOING IT FAST, AND ONE'S SOUL IS LISTENING, THEN GOOD.

    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
