Shabad, our kirtan comprises raga with instruments , raga with voice and message in raga.So we listen message sung in raga ,written in raga and supported by instruments in raga.Guru Sahib is written in 31 ragas. Soul when liberated and is in namm, remembering God always longs for intensity of emotion, which is supplied by kirtan only.Even ragas are time based.Shades of love changes with respect to time also.And journey of soul from hope to disspassion through calm Gauri, shyness of todi, heat of love of sorath, bliss of bilawal,separation of behag, steadiness & bhakti ras of kalyan , bhakti ras of prabhati and vairag or dispassion of jaijaiwanti gets completed.Seven notes from sa to ne are the bases of ragas.Seven notes clears the seven chakras.Each raga works to clear our nadi system.We live in ego world and what ever we express is basically symptoms of clogged nadis. Guru Sahibs knew very well as they were the creators  of all this.They gave us a system whith which we are able to come to full potential very soon.Or enlightenments in sikh culture were in numbers.And are.Guru ji

gave us words which gives us sounds with which our kundalini is managed effortlessly.

And an ordinary being is chisseled by shabad to a saint.
