Is Guru Granth Sahib Your Teacher / Guide Or Is It A Diety

[sunnyji]

Yes it's all wrong and the worst part is that I used to do a lot of paarts of japji sahib again and again - it got me nowhere. It's not about reciting something again and again it's about understanding and applying it to your life. But once I took my time and understood gurbani that was a life changer.

This mentality is so widespread because of groups and cults within sikhi that promote this mentality.

Yeah, and also a total lack of education - we do so little to educate our youth on Sikhi nowadays, compared to the other major world religions.

The first stage is to take Amrit and follow the gurus hukam.This stage is the first and in my honest opinion is the main and most important stage.

People think that reciting something again and again will give them some sort of power and that's the problem it just enhances the ego. These cults say it doesn't matter if you don't understand gurbani just repeat and you will get reward.

It's funny because you have a photo of Bhai randhir Singh who used to repeat waheguru over and over.Was he wrong?

I don't think hsingh68 veerji meant don't do it. He meant don't do it just for the sake of doing it - nowadays, a lot of people do naam simran or paath just because they're told to, whereas people should do it because they want to do it and want to understand it/

From what I read of his posts I think he thinks it's ritualistic to do it.

Wow, why is everyone so judgemental nowadays? I was simply providing an explanation for what I thought veerji meant. There's no need to make insulting, defamatory assumptions about people.
