Hi,
I've read this ''...many adherents of Sikhism recite Guru Nanak's and Kabir's poetry for their rhythmic flavor and supposed healing properties without meditating on messages themselves. And yet this may not be blindness at all; many believe that the very combination of syllabic effect and musical sound may very well produce, in an intuitive sense, more fruitfulness than intellectual ponderings about anhad nad." Anhad Naad: Soundlessness in Sikhi | SikhNet
I wonder if there is some degree of consensus about it.
I'm reading the banis in English, although I want lo learn Punjabi at some point, and so far I have the impression that, if the heart is open, then a door will open beetween intellectual understanding and the soul and they will be able to communicate.
I know I'm using metaphors to describe something that I don't even understand but I have no better way to express myself about my first experiences with the banis. For me it is still something very subtle, but somewhat I have the impression that through intellectual understanding (even though this intellectual understanding is very limited) something is moving and changing within me.
I would love to hear about others thoughts and experiences.
Love,
Simranjit
