This is a gross exaggeration of Sikhi. Make your mind the granth, and the pauri you read from it your prayers.

I have collected endless knowledge on Sikhism. I have translated written and gone through numerous archives. Yet I can only describe the process explained in the granth. I cannot relate to it. I have not realized virtue. I need to humble myself. The accumulation of knowledge meaningless in...

The human guru is a Hindu idea. The Granth wanted to strip that idea away of a human guide and make man focus on the one within. People will never understand the truth of Sikh history and what really happened if they keep putting the pretext of "guru" in front of Nanak's name. Calling Nanak a...

The Granth is a product of a unique forgotten culture that existed in Punjab. This culture produced poetry and had a different, more objective worldview compared to both Islam and Hinduism. It gave rise to poets like Nanak. It represents Punjab before the dominance of Hinduism and Islam. Its...

To this user at the top of the thread “ I heard of meditation and the goal of detachment. I have had a problem with sudden staring and detachment at random. I start to feel like something is wrong and then I sit down and slowly become unaware of my surroundings and my limbs feel cold and far...

All of the creators creation is a reflection of him, and therefore him. Hence Ik Onkar. As man we are deluded by our own subjectivity caused by will to survival and will to power (given to us by the creator). Our subjectivity removes us from oneness. For example we are under the falsehood...

It doesnt mean what we have been taught it means. here's the incorrect wikipedia translation by DR Brahmin Sant Singh Khalsa :/ O Lord, grant me this boon that I may not hesitate from performing good actions .. I may not fear the enemy, when I go to fight and assuredly I may become victorious...

Dude you are dissociating, you are gonna screw up your life if you don't see a doctor soon. You have to be present.

The body is the city where the Lord dwells. Through the Guru's teachings, the mind is guided and imbued with the Lord, Har Har. Within the body-lake, the Name of the Lord has manifested. In the home of the heart, the temple of the Lord God is realized. (1336) By using the truth guru, one...

Like 10vi patshahi, Baba Fareed values his deh (body) and knows that it is thru this deh that akaal purakh can be found. The Dr. Brahmin Vedic misinterpreters instead link him to extreme ascetism and stories of self-inflicted torture. They use insulting paintings like these to portray him as...

Just as pilgrimages, holy baths and keeping fasts is criticized by writers of the Aadh granth baani, so too is the ritual of doing paathh. These rituals are ineffective attempts by the manmukh gawaar to connect to akaal purakh who can only be reached with seva (use) of satguru within us. Third...

About 6 months ago I found this poem by Namdev. 874 It helped me realize that the poetry was describing something that Sikhs today are not connected with. That being their Sat Gur within. *\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\** *I am widowed...

Scholars have estimated Bhagat Ramanand’s birth date to be between 1296 AD to 1400 AD, much before Nanak’s birth in 1469, and yet he still talks about the creator within and the guru. He found his guru before the Granth was around. Page 1195 Raamaana(n)dh Jee, First House One Universal...

Hello, If you are trying to connect with the Sat Gur, here is some advice. According to the writers of the Granth, there are two ways of understanding the self: 1. Understanding that comes from the Sat Gur (Gurmat) 2. Understanding that comes from the mind (Manmat) The writers are opposed to...

Baba Nanak writes as "Nanak" and not as "Guru Nanak". If we are not permitted to call him Nanak, how are we supposed to discuss and understand his baani. Take this line from page 750 of Aadh Granth sahib written by 5th mohalla as Nanak (how he wrote all of his baani) sabh tay vadaa satgur...
