OF COURSE jios..Gurbani tells us that its the GHARRA (vessel) that Stores WATER...and WATER CANNOT be "stored" without a Gharra !!
Bhai Duni Chand..who lived by Guru Jis side for a decade...consuming loads of karrah parshaad daily until his body resembled that of an "Elephant" ( just look at any of our modern day SANTS if you cant imagine that !!)...and I ma pretty sure Dunni Chand must have felt that being in Guru jis company his ego..his lust..etc was just about "dead"..right ?? its logical ..becasue I have met many granthis ragis etc or sangats that have been going to Gurdawra daily for 50 - 60 years every morning and evening..so they are sure of their inner status..why wouldnt Dunni Chand feel that way ?? Anyway..when news came that the enemy ahd procured a Masth Rogue male elephant, given it lots of alcohol, and tied armour on its sides, and front to smash down the door of Anandpur Fort..all the Sikhs and even Guru Ji remarked..well well they are sending an elephant eh...so what..here we have very OWN ELEPHANT..the valiant Dunni Chand who will fight that mad elephant !! WELL..Dunni Chand just "LOOKED" like an elephant..he wasnt at all elephant like INSIDE !! He was so struck with fear of DEATH that he jumped over the walls at night, fell down, broke a leg...and reached home safe and sound until a snake bit him (fatally). Meanwhile on learning of Duni chnads flight, Guru Ji called upon His REAL ELEPHANT..the 4ft 2 inch tall Bachitar Singh, gave him His own Circular bladed Spear and a slap on his back...and the rest is HISTORY. Bachitar singh stood up as talla s he could in his stirrups..and hurled the circular balded spear with such might that it pierced the plated armour and stuck deep into the elephnats head...the stirrups of bachitar singhs horse broke and bachitar singh jumped on his horses back, and grabbing hold of the fleeing elephants tail climbed on his body and rode the crazy elephant back into the mughal forces the twin swords tied to the trunk slashing and slashing the enemy soldiers and horsemen until it collapsed. Now its clear that Duni Chand had an EXCELLENT BODY (vessel) but the water inside was RANCID/or nil..while Bachitar Singhs body was slighter than normal..BUT his inside was OVERFLOWING with ENERGY !!
WE NEED BOTH...thats why our REHAT makes mandatory Morning bath, combing Kesh, tying dastaar pech by pech, Panj bani recitation..etc etc..this is PHYSICAL..and the SPIRITUAL part is LIVING GURBANI. Duni Chand looked great outside..BUT inside his SPIRITUAL VESSEL was empty. He Never LIVED GURBANI. So just like bath, kesh combing, tying dastaar, kamarkassah etc are PYSICAL...the Spiritual equivalent are..Bathing the MANN, Combing the Mann of dead broken habits, bad thoughts, etc, cleaning out and placing good thoughts, practsies, habits like tying pech by pech...and kamarkassah the MANN by keeping it in CHECK !! A Lazy couch potato always lazing about watching tv football etc..can NEVER be an EXEMPLARY human...much less a SIKH..such cant even hold down a decent job for long..how can he be "cut" joint by joint like Bhai mani Singh or have his scalp removed like Bhai taru Singh ?? THAT is why Guru ji declared..REHAT PYAREE MUJH KO.."sikh" pyara nahin... a SIKH MINUS REHAT is actually a Dunni Chand...his parents may not be able to "lose" him..BUT GURU JI who sacrificed his father, mother and four sons...is ever ready to "LOSE" a "sikh" like Duni Chand. Just ask the manager/Coach of any Football club like MU..whether he is willing to "lose" a Player who sleeps all day, never attends training/coaching/ smokes like a chimney drinks like a fish and is in bars entire night womanising....just becasue the player is a Rooney or whatever and scored before...The Coach will prefer to lose such and look at a newbie who will follow REHAT..DISCIPLINE !! A SIKH is much more than a football player..and so is REHAT..thats why Guru ji says rehat pyaree mujh Ko..sikh payara nahin...:singhsippingcoffee:animatedkhanda1
