wat is pdl? did u mean pdf?

the link shows author as ishar Singh nara? why is that?

pdl is Punjab digital library. It is website that has thousands of Punjabi books that are now out of print. Many even over a 100 years old written by authors long forgotten. It is an excellent website.

Besides this it so has many hand written sroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, Sri Dasam Granth.

No. He simply wrote an analysis about it at the start much like how piara Singh padam would do to give the reader some background info before the ਮੂਲ ਪਾਠ of the historical manuscript.

Sochia Soch Na Hovai Je Sochia lakh VaarII
 

By thinking, ‘He’ cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.

Soch- Think/Thought 

Sucha/Sucham - Clean/Cleanse

Slight difference in the way word is written and pronounced but meaning can be misinterpreted.  

 

that's the thing it has multiple layered meanings which are revealed as one reads and goes deeper into the ras of the bani , you will understand more , learn more every day the more you do vichar . The concept of Sochna  i.e.the bathing and purfication of Brahmans is a deeper level than the more instant sochna i.e. to think . so both are right . Waheguru ji is too deep a concept to be grasped by our chotti mat .

We also need to make sure we have an understanding of what the words meant in Guru Ji's time and not use updated versions otherwise, we lose the meaning. 

true like the oft misquoted

so kion manda akhiya jit jame rajan

where kion is translated as why because of modern day punjabi  but actually in correct punjabi of that time it is HOW

so how can you call her bad /evil who gives birth to kings .... and here kings is referring to those people who are fit to be kings i.e. true gursikhs/gurmukhs  not just literal kings . Because in dharmic soch Kings had to be dharmi, aastik, mahaveer, jodhe, wise from studying religious texts and farthinking for nation's wellbeing.

I remember hearing Sant Singh Maskeen Ji talking about his discourse of Japji Sahib going back 30 years ago, how he said that he didn’t agree with what he had interpreted looking back since his most present Gyan.  He said he wouldn’t say it was wrong but correct according to his understanding when younger, but as he accumulated more Gyan, he said his new discourse would be different.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
