Things We Think!

December 10, 2006

Waheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguroo Ji Ki Fateh
There are many of us out there, who says Raagmala is gurbani
and others say its not.There was some one who told me this 
very beautiful thing.He said ” Why fight on the last ang of
Guroo Granth Sahib Ji, when the ang before it, we dont do
vichar on it.We dont do vichar on the bani from Ek Ongkar
to Dhan Maan Tiveh Haria.”
Just this words, and it made me think, ” So true.The Panth
hasnt overcome this problem.The only thing they said was
read it if you want , or not. Its all in our hand.” People start
arguing about keski as kakar , and Raagmala , but they dont
argue if one Naam Jaaped Ath Pehar or did Amritwela today!
(which is more important)
So, lets just forget everything and concentrate on Naam 
and Amrit wela, like Bhai Rama Singh Ji said in his book
“Khalsa will recieve Raaj , when Guroo Gobind Singh Jis 
puran rehat is kept,and amritwela is kept.They should 
belive in their Guroo so much they shouldnt have doubt
about anything.” Daas benti lets just do ardas for [...]
