Re: My understanding of 16th Pauri of Japji Sahib

Dear Khalsa Jee,

 

Words can mean differently to different people. The meaning must be validated against what is said in the text of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. It should convey the spiritual meaning of the Pauri.

 

If panch is to mean 'Divine Consciousness or The Moral Consciousness and it does not mean "Five".  Then it need to be explained: Why did Guru Sahib said 'Pancha ka gur ek Dyan. I hold the divine consciousness is supreme, How can there be any Guru for it and that too Dyan which is a known state of human mind; we know that there is nothing divine in it. It needs to be explained how can this state (dyan) be the Guru of 'panch', which is being suggested to mean 'Divine Consciousness'?

 

If the interprepation that 'such Men are honored in God's Court'  is to be taken as correct, then it needs to be explained why Guru Sahib has used two terms in this Pauri i.e. 'Dargahai' and 'Dar Rajan' to refer to the same entity i.e. 'God's court'.

 

I am, as yet, not  able to agree with Sardar Sahib Sardar Baldev Singh Ji. May be, he can give detailed basis justifying the suggested meaning in the context of the whole Pauri. It will help me to learn and evolve.

 

With love and respect for all.
