Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tejwant Singh" data-source="post: 202003" data-attributes="member: 138">Chaz Singh ji,Guru Fateh.That's very true because as you or anyone else copies and pastes  any  Shabad, I would like to know the poster's personal understanding first so I can learn from it.The best example would be Ishna ji. Whenever she posts the Shabad/s, she always gives her own understanding. Wouldn't you like to understand the shabad yourself before sharing it with us?Common sense demands that. We  are not here to spoon feed our version but we all want to learn from each other's viewpoint regarding the Shabad/s posted.Do you have any problem with sharing your understanding with us? Why this reluctance?How sharing my personal understanding of the Shabad posted is finding faults in people's understanding of the same from a different angle? Please elaborate it.Chaz Ji, you are contradicting yourself now. Here is what you said above. "you just want to hear others views and then find little faults in them...and then you never get around to actually doing what was asked of you.I am a bit confused about the your contradiction above. Please elaborate your doublespeak. Do I give my understanding or not? You can not have it both ways. Perhaps, you misspoke. Please clarify.I recently had an interaction with Original ji who has a deep understanding of Gurbani about our disagreement with the meaning of the word ਜਪੁ. It is OK to disagree. I did not find faults in his understanding. I also urged him to explain the difference between ਜਪੁ and ਜਪਿ because in the literal translation in English it shows only one meaning- to chant. If our visionary Gurus wanted to give the same meaning then, why would they use two different words, the question you should ask yourself whenever you copy and paste the Shabads?I guess Original ji is busy but I am awaiting his understanding about the difference between the two words so we can discuss it further because I admire and cherish his understanding about Gurbani.This is the learning process, plain and simple. Do you disagree with that?I will give you one more recent example about Kundalini whose understanding you disagreed with without even posting any Shabad. When you asked me about my understanding, I gave you the following link and urged you to share your findings with us.You just laughed it off. I have no idea why you are good at copying and pasting but not expressing your  personal view.<a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?S=y" target="_blank">http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?S=y</a>Once again, why this reluctance from you? Wouldn't you like to understand the correct version of Gurbani for your own personal growth?Do you think or you know?If you see many of my posts, you would notice that I often repeat that the English Literal translation is misleading and incorrect. The case in point is the above two words ਜਪੁ and ਜਪਿ. Please share with us  the difference.Are you trying to say that you agree with the incorrect/misleading literal translation as you claim you do? Is this the way you understand Gurbani?Please clarify.Thanks & regardsTejwant Singh</blockquote>
